Additionally, we sought to correlate the results of various tests of anticoagulation with the heparin infusion dose (HID) for patients on ECMO and to evaluate the utility of these anticoagulation monitoring tests for the titration of the HID. A retrospective chart review of 18 patients who received ECMO at an academic tertiary care children's hospital. Nine patients who were managed using a new anticoagulation protocol were matched by age and diagnosis with 9 patients managed with the old protocol. We collected data relating to patient demographics, type of extracorporeal support, disease process, and incidence of bleeding or thrombosis. Anticoagulation parameters collected include the activated clotting time (ACT), activated partial thromboplastin time...

In a nonlinear Schrödinger regime, a generic quasi-periodic route to intermittent chaos is exhibited in detail using a range of ...

Where Turing argued convincingly for the adequacy of his notion of machine computation in 1936, Post viewed his identical notion in the same year as being tied to a working hypothesis in need of “continual verification”. Post gave novel and informative arguments for his thesis or, as he put it, generalization. He insisted, however, that ultimately a psychological analysis "of mental processes involved in combinatory mathematical processes" has to be given. In this way, he hoped to obtain a natural law and thus the basis for the claim that the undecidability and incompleteness theorems constitute “a fundamental discovery in the limitations of the mathematizing power of Homo Sapiens”. Our detailed analysis of (the background for) his work on the issues leads to an unambiguous answer to the question Did Post have Turing’s Thesis?: He did [not].
