Musical instruments are said to have a personality, which we notice in the sound that they produce. The oscillation mechanism inside woodwinds is commonly studied, but the transmission from internal waveforms to radiated sound is often overlooked ...

On the tonehole lattice cutoff frequency of conical resonators: applications to the saxophone
The tonehole lattice cutoff frequency is a well-known feature of woodwind instruments. However, most analytic studies of the cutoff have focused on cylindrical instruments due to their relative geometric simplicity.

Low dose Atracurium for Laryngeal Mask Airway Insertion in Ophthalmic Surgeries: A Randomized Controlled Study [PDF]
Background: Adequate relaxation of jaw muscles may influence both the ease and safety of laryngeal mask airway [LMA] insertion. This study aimed to assess whether low-dose atracurium could enhance LMA insertion conditions, reduce associated complications,

Divergent drivers of leaf trait variation within species, among species, and among functional groups. [PDF]
Understanding variation in leaf functional traits-including rates of photosynthesis and respiration and concentrations of nitrogen and phosphorus-is a fundamental challenge in plant ecophysiology. When expressed per unit leaf area, these traits typically

Parameter identification of a physical model of brass instruments by constrained continuation
Numerical continuation using the Asymptotic Numerical Method (ANM), together with the Harmonic Balance Method (HBM), makes it possible to follow the periodic solutions of non-linear dynamical systems such as physical models of wind instruments.

Implications of partially degenerate neutrinos at a high scale in the light of KamLAND and WMAP [PDF]
Electroweak radiative corrections can generate the neutrino (mass)$^2$ difference required for the large mixing angle solution (LMA) to the solar neutrino problem if two of the neutrinos are assumed degenerate at high energy.

Comparative Evaluation of Placement of Auragain, ProSeal and Protector Laryngeal Mask Airways using Fiberoptic Bronchoscopy: A Randomised Clinical Study [PDF]
Introduction: Supraglottic Airway Devices (SAD) can be used instead of endotracheal intubation in both regular and complicated airway situations. Auragain, ProSeal and Protector Laryngeal Mask Airways (LMA) are second generation LMAs.
