Biology Of Local Heat Therapy For Cancer, Charles F. Babbs

Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering Faculty Publications

Successful cancer therapy must selectively destroy tumor tissue while sparing the host's normal tissues. Local heat treatment can have such a selective effect because abnormalities in tumor blood vessels supply less oxygen to heat-stressed tumor cells and are less efficient in cooling tumor tissue by blood perfusion.

Hydralazine-Enhanced Selective Heating Of Transmissible Venereal Tumor Implants In Dogs, William D. Voorhees Iii, Charles F. Babbs

Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering Faculty Publications

This study was designed to test the hypothesis that vasodilator drugs can enhance selective heating of solid tumors by producing a favorable redistribution of blood flow between tumor and normal tissues. Subcutaneous transmissible venereal tumor implants were heated by inductive diathermy using Helmholtz coils in 8 dogs. The temperature rise in tumor and adjacent muscle was measured before and after giving hydralazine (0.5 mg/kg i.v.). Blood flow to the tumors and underlying muscle was measured with radioactive tracer microspheres. Before hydralazine treatment mean muscle blood flow was about one-third tumor blood flow (0.11  0.02 vs. 0.28  0.09 ml/min/g), …

Theoretical Feasibility Of Vasodilator-Enhanced Local Tumor Heating, Charles F. Babbs, David P. Dewitt, William D. Voorhees, Janet S. Mccaw, Rosanna C. Chan

Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering Faculty Publications

Normal arterioles, in contrast to the abnormal microvasculature of many solid tumors, provide a target for selective drug action that can enhance local heat treatment of the tumors. Measurements of tissue blood flow with radioactive microspheres and estimates of changes in blood flow with thermal clearance methods revealed that vasodilator drugs either decreased or did not alter blood flow in hamster melanoma, rat hepatoma, and canine transmissible venereal tumor, while increasing perfusion in adjacent normal tissues 2 to 4-fold. Solutions of the bio-heat transfer equation, which take into account such selective effects of vasodilators on blood flow in normal tissues, …

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation With Interposed Abdominal Compression In Dogs, Sandra H. Ralston, Charles F. Babbs, Mark J. Niebauer

Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering Faculty Publications

This study was conducted to evaluate the hemodynamic effectiveness of a new modification of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), termed interposed abdominal compression- CPR (IAC-CPR). IAC-CPR utilizes all the steps of standard CPR with the addition of abdominal compressions interposed during the release phase of chest compression. Ventricular fibrillation was induced electrically in 10 anesthetized dogs, and either IAC-CPR or standard CPR was initiated while arterial and venous blood pressures and cardiac output were monitored. The two CPR methods were alternated every three minutes over a period of thirty minutes. The addition of interposed abdominal compressions to standard CPR improved arterial pressures …

A Closer Look At Remote Sensing Education, S. M. Davis, J. R. Madden

LARS Technical Reports

Remote sensing is finding its way into the curricula of many colleges and universities, yet the rapid growth of the technology leaves many excellent faculty members at a disadvantage, unable to keep pace with developments and thwarted in their efforts to develop meaningful course work reflecting the breadth of the technology. A recent survey of 30 remote sensing instructors provided a closer look at several aspects of current remote sensing courses and helped refine the list of needs faculty members had previously stated.

A Binary Tree Feature Selection Technique For Limited Training Sample Size, M. J. Muasher, D. A. Landgrebe

LARS Technical Reports

An algorithm is presented that predicts the mean recognition accuracy as a function of dimensionality for two class problems, using a Bayes classifier in the presence of a limited number of training samples. Several experiments are presented to assess the algorithm's performance, and a binary tree classification procedure that utilizes the algorithm is shown to prove its usefulness.

County Storm Drainage Manual 1981, Christopher B. Burke

Indiana Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP) Publications

This manual is a comprehensive catalog of procedures, design methods and criteria, and general background information which will enable the designer to quickly learn or review the basic principles of storm drainage design. Subjects included are the precipitation and hydrological cycle, runoff and its estimation, open channels, flow in gutters and inlets, stormwater storage, and storm sewer system design. Included in the appendices are basics of statistical analysis, fundamentals of hydraulics, and a list of regulatory agencies and governmental bodies which may have jurisdiction over drainage projects.

Systems Versus Users: An Analysis Of The Art And/Or Science Of Search Negotiations, Kathleen T. Bivins

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

This paper discusses the nature of information retrieval, its particular problems, and information retrieval systems in general. Traditional efforts in search analysis and question negotiation are presented, along with a sample of the numerous techniques of automated search manipulation. The newer methods involving the cognitive approach are discussed, and conclusions are drawn regarding the status of the situation and the possible future.

Further To My Egg: The Story Of An Australian Library Campaign, Arthur Mortimer

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

The Prime Minister of Australia, Mr. Malcolm Fraser, once said:

"If books and libraries are to compete in the kind of world in which we find ourselves, and in the kind of world in which we must live, if they are to be allowed to make the contribution to the quality of life which I know is within the possibility of things in this area, a more active advocacy for books and for libraries and what they can achieve is required, because the 20th Century does not permit passive salesmanship to succeed".

And there is some truth in Mr. Fraser's …

Dilemmas Of Document Communication, Axel Andersen

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

The information explosion of the last century has had profound effects upon the entire society: The number of publications has increased enormously, and important consequences have been the development of bibliographic tools, of libraries and an improved cooperation between libraries. Computer technology has made a storage of bibliographic information in big, international data bases possible, and complex networks are now being established. As bibliographies and catalogues in their paper-ver si ons thus are disappearing, other sorts of literature are going to be replaced by on-line accessible data bases, and telephone directories, sales catalogues etc. are soon to disappear in their …

Communication Skills: The Role Of The Library School, B. Meakin

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

It is becoming increasingly necessary for the librarian to be an active communicator. We can no longer be content to assume and perpetuate the passive role which history and our own public image have assigned to us. The librarian needs to project his personality to create the optimum circumstances for transmitting and disseminating information.

Given that this is the case, a co-ordinated and intensive effort is needed to produce and train librarians capable of communicating easily and effectively with subordinates, peers, superiors and most important the community. It is suggested that such an effort could best be instigated in the …
