Consequences of volatile substance misuse, both acute and chronic cause cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, metabolic, and central nervous system damage. Whilst the effects of hydrocarbon abuse have been reported, the combination of intoxication with hydrocarbon and burns sustained has not yet been presented.

The wristband diversity antenna consists of four identical antenna elements with an inter-element spacing of 0.68λ, where λ is the lower cut-off wavelength.

Evidence is mounting on its utility to diagnose, assess the severity and as a triage tool in the ED. Sonographic features correlate well to computed tomography (CT) chest findings and a bedside LUS performed by a trained clinician along with clinical examination, could be an alternative to chest X-ray and CT chest in these highly infectious patients.

Based on analytical considerations, we introduce criteria that enable us to encapsulate the parameter domains for which chaotic synchronization in linearly coupled map systems may be attained. Our aim is to provide means to readily determine parameter regions which preclude synchronization. This results in a significant reduction of parameter space that one needs to explore.

A review of the one-dimensional modeling studies in the literature of the Gaseous Electronics Conference (GEC) reference plasma reactor is presented. Most of the studies are based on the fluid model description of the discharge and some utilize hybrid fluid-kinetic schemes. Both models are discussed here briefly.
