Police: Video shows mom repeatedly choking 15-month-old son at hospital
An Indianapolis mother faces more than a dozen felony charges after investigators say video showed her repeatedly choking her 15-month-old son.
Dashana Oldham (October 5, 2012) |
Police arrested Dashana Oldham, 20, on preliminary charges of neglect and battery after a doctor at St. Vincent reported seeing Oldham choke her son on video.
The woman brought her son to St. Vincent on Sept. 27 after he experienced what she called an "episode" in which he went unresponsive for four to six minutes. Doctors couldn't figure out what caused the problem, so they used a Video EEG to monitor his brain activity and keep watch on him.
During observation of the tests, a doctor noticed that the boy's oxygen levels dropped on multiple occasions, according to the probable cause affidavit. The doctor reviewed the video, only to find that Oldham choked her son multiple times, causing the drops in oxygen level.
When a police officer reviewed the tape, he saw several instances in which Oldham attempted to choke the 15 month old, court documents said. In one instance, the officer said Oldham "placed her hand on (the child's) throat and applied pressure." The boy responded by coughing, kicking, crying and gasping for breath.
A few minutes later, the officer said Oldham did it again, applying pressure to the boy's throat with her right hand. She increased the pressure, court documents said, and the boy "became silent and appeared unable to breathe at all." Several second later, the child began "coughing and gasping for breath."
The probable cause affidavit said Oldham pressed the call button to summon a nurse shortly after her son calmed down.
According to court documents, the woman used a blanket in an effort to hide what she was doing.
The child was removed from his mother, police said.
Investigators said Oldham told them her son had been having "breath holding spells" since late June. Despite extensive tests, doctors couldn't figure out the problem. Oldham originally denied choking the boy.
She later admitted she was upset at doctors for being unable to diagnose his condition and applied pressure to his throat to replicate the problem, court documents said.
According to court documents, Oldham said she was not trying to kill her son. If she wanted to kill him, she said, she "would have put more pressure on his throat," she told police. She claimed the only times she choked her son were at St. Vincent and denied ever doing it before.
A doctor at St. Vincent told investigators that the boy was in "serious" and "immediate" danger of dying during the choking episodes.

lets choke her!!!!!! idk how ppl can hurt there babies but lets choke her and then pretend we dont know whats going on like she did her son poor baby hope he gets to family that will love him every moment of his life
Facticious Disorder by Proxy? Mothers/caregivers do things to those who they are supposed to be caring for in order to make/keep them sick. Unfortunately, this is fairly common. She should never be allowed to have other children because she will keep doing this. It's very sick, they do it to make themselves appear altrustic until they get caught. Often times they don't get caught...Sad, hopefully this child is given to a family who will love him and keep him safe.

Jansing and Co | November 29, 2012
>>> so we've been talking a lot about the fiscal cliff and of course long term entitlement reforms. so we wanted to take a deeper look what the it might mean for medicare . 50 million senior citizens get health insurance coverage through medicare and that number is growing quickly. polls show most americans don't want big changes to medicare . but if change does come, what might it look like? richard lui is here.
>> medicare is a very popular program. but according to reporting from nbc's tom costello, it's also more than 13% of all federal spending. and it's growing unsustainably. one cost cutting idea is to slowly raise the age limit to receive benefits. now it's 65. this is what retirement planners need to consider. let's say mr. and mrs. brown living on any street usa both turn 65 next year. they are unlikely to be affected and still can get medicare coverage. but if we walk next door, mr. and mrs. gonzalez could see a change. they are 60 years old and under current proposals, they would wait to 65 plus several months on top of that. farther down the street, the changes could have a longer coverage gap to fill. they are a55 and could wait until 66 or 67 or older. it could save money, but it just shifts costs to private insurance or employers in a less efficient way.
>> we want to see improvements that actually lower health care costs, not simply change them, make seniors pay more for health care .
>> now, one proposal could make seniors pay more simply if you make more, pay more. or what's called the means test. back to any street usa and mrs. graham. she makes less than $85,000. her monthly medicare premium is $115. her wealthier neighbors already pay up to $254 more per honesty because they make more than $58,000 a year. new changes could make them pay even more. since nearly every senior is or will use medicare , these changes could affect tens of millions of people.
>> what happens if we go off the fiscal cliff?
>> it comes to the white coats , the doctors. that's one thing to watch here. because the doctors, the money they get from medicare , that could go down almost 30%. the result, fitch says medicare recipients would have even lower access to doctors, hospitals, and the industry overall would also see a severe negative effect as money coming into the industry, that goes down. this is the number of medicare recipients they expect to thk by some 20 million in the next decade.
>> and we heard from chris van hollen , he is against raising the age of eligibility. so lots still to be decided. but thanks for helping us with that. that will wrap up this hour of jansing and company. thomas roberts

My week in review
Yep, I've been pretty quiet on blogland this week. I've skimmed through most of the blog posts in my reader but haven't responded to them all. So if you didn't hear anything from me, sorry, but I have been reading.
So what have I been up to? Well, remember the last time you were in constant pain for a solid week? Not enough to stop you functioning, but enough to make you very very tired, all the time? Well, that's been my last week.
Sat, I succumbed after my trip into town, and curled up on the couch to knit for the afternoon. But I did rouse myself enough to go out with a friend to a local pub quiz. And it was confirmed that I am crap at pub quizzes. Especially those aimed at people who have been living in the UK for years, if not their whole life.
Sunday, I had friends over. We had a belated "xmas" meal and exchanged gifts. I got an awesome interchangeable needle holder. And I've just realised I forgot to take a photo, and it's upstairs and I can't be bothered to go get it right now. Perfect colours for me and just what I need. I had been considering trying to make myself one. Getting one as a gift was a much safer option
While my friends were here, I brought out the pile of fabric I had compiled for possible alien colours for my space invaders quilt. One of my friends does graphic design for publishing, so I figured he had to be helpful for picking colours . His first move was to pick out all the Kona solids and discard the rest. His comment was that they were shiny and popped up from the matt-ish black background better. Of course, this might just be because the Kona fabric was the only ones that were not prewashed. I'll wait and see what they look like after I've washed them. But these were the colours he picked:
Still really hard to photograph with any colour accuracy. So, ignoring the purple on the left which I've had in my stash for ages and will be used for the bonus ship, the greens are: emerald, jade, candy green, pond and ice frappe. He was suggesting the three lighter greens with one of emerald or jade as the darker colour. But I still think the jump is a bit much, so I'm thinking of using both emerald and jade and dropping ice frappe.
Of course, if these lose their "shinyness" after being washed then the Bella solids and other ones I have are back on the table and I can probably get a smoother gradient.
Originally, I was wanting more teal greens for the aliens, and was then going to pick more royal blues for the home bases and gun. But if I do go with these colours, then I think I'll go with Kona turquoise and peacock.
It will be interesting what the Kona looks like after washing, because if the Bella really is a flatter colour, then that will be the black I buy.
Wednesday night saw me baking 3 dozen cupcakes. Enough to take to the meet up at the local craft store on Thursday evening, and to take some in to work. Well, I wasn't completely happy with how they turned out so I baked a batch of brownies on Thursday morning before work. Thursday evening was a blast. There were many of us there, all who don't do Valentines day (and no, we weren't all single). Lots of fun, chatting, cake and brownies (as I wasn't the only one baking) and a very small amount of knitting.
And what have I been knitting off and on this week? Well, remember the birthday yarn I bought on my last trip to London? Well, I've started to turn it into one of these.
It's going to be scrummy to wear. And I'm still loving this colour.
Other highlights of the week… I got a message from my brother. He and his fiance love the shawl and really appreciated the thought and time behind it. So they haven't been crossed of the hand-knit gifts list . I've also continued to jog and have been out three nights this week. We are now in three weeks of an eight week program to be able to jog 5Km. I'm finding it's much easier to do with someone else than relying on being able to make yourself go. Oh, and I've booked my holidays from work for later this year. Five weeks off in Nov/Dec. i have lots of fun planned and it will be my last big spend before I get serious about saving for a house deposit. I'll tell you all about my plans in another blog post. This ones getting kinda long.
And this weekend? Well, since I've been so tired all week (and still am), I'm planning a quiet one. I have some work that I have to do before Monday, but otherwise my plan is to dig out my winterkist quilt and put in some quality sewing time. In between the naps. Basically, this is one weekend where I'll be minimising my interaction with the outside world and just recharging.
Hope you've all had a good week and have an even better weekend.

February 16th, 2013 at 3:08 pmNic, I quite enjoyed reading about your week in review. Love your birthday yarn – the color is fabulous. I just recently saw a hen house (of all things!!) that exact same color…sure looked classy to be a hen house!
I hope you do get some rest this weekend to recharge. My sister recharges by being away from people for awhile also. I recharge by being WITH people! How different we all are! Thank you so much for the comments recently on our blog; will answer today.
Katy Says:
February 16th, 2013 at 6:45 pmWow, you have been busy! Got a bit confuddled about the shininess thing, but then I never prewash fabric unless it's for dressmaking, so not quite sure what you mean!
Hope you're getting time to put your feet up this weekend
Charlotte Says:
February 16th, 2013 at 6:59 pmsorry you've been feeling so rubbish. I'm very glad to hear that your brother is behaving himself

Popular tastes ran to reproductions of famous paintings, which commercial processes could print at low cost by the thousands. The taste for fine handmade prints seemed to belong to an earlier, less industrialized era. Yet the appeal of the print as an original work of art endured among artists who valued the expressive potential of printmaking and by connoisseurs and collectors who appreciated the nuanced visual language of the graphic arts. |

I don't know much about Doctor What, so I'm not going to pretend like I do. I do know that the latest girlfriend on the show is called Amy Pond, played by Karen Gillan, who gave birth to the Doctor's child, a young man named Rory Williams. Rory is also the man who repairs the Doctor's DeLorean car, with which he travels through time to protect the Rebellion from the forces of the Borg. He also has to make a lot of phone calls in an old phone booth.
I think I got most of that right.
Anyway, Steven Moffat, when he's not racking his brain trying to figure out how he's going to explain the conclusion to the third season of Sherlock when that show finally comes back, has confirmed the speculation that Gillan will be leaving the show in the middle of the next season, but he's also announced that her replacement has already been cast, in the form of 25-year-old Jenna-Louise Coleman:
It always seems impossible when you start casting these parts, but when we saw Matt and Jenna together, we knew we had our girl. She's funny and clever and exactly mad enough to step on board the Tardis. It's not often the Doctor meets someone who can talk even faster than he does, but it's about to happen. Jenna is going to lead him his merriest dance yet. And that's all you're getting for now. Who she's playing, how the Doctor meets her, and even where he finds her, are all part of one of the biggest mysteries the Time Lord ever encounters. Even by the Doctor's standards, this isn't your usual boy meets girl.
I can't say that I've ever heard the name before, but Coleman has apparently had a bit role in the Captain America film, as well as a few BBC television credits, to which she'll be able to add Professor Who some time next year.

In this potent and beautiful novel, the writer The New York Times calls "prophetic about twenty-first-century America" looks into the mind and heart of a scholar who was recruited to help the military conceptualize the war.
We see Richard Elster at the end of his service. He has retreated to the desert, in search of space and geologic time. There he is joined by a filmmaker and by Elster's daughter Jessica—an "otherworldly" woman from New York. The three of them build an odd, tender intimacy, something like a family. Then a devastating event turns detachment into colossal grief, and it is a human mystery that haunts the landscape of desert and mind.
About the Author
Don DeLillo is the author of fifteen novels, including Underworld, Falling Man, White Noise, and Libra. He has won the National Book Award, the PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction, the Jerusalem Prize for his complete body of work, and the William Dean Howells Medal from the American Academy of Arts and Letters. In 2010, he was awarded the PEN/Saul Bellow Prize. The Angel Esmeralda was a finalist for the 2011 Story Prize and the PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction.

Praise for Point Omega…
"A splendid, fierce novel by a deep practitioner of the form…. Enlivening, challenging, harrowing and beautiful."—Matthew Sharpe, Los Angeles Times
"If Underworld was DeLillo's extravagant funeral for the twentieth century, Point Omega is the farewell party for the last decade.... DeLillo has …. written the first important novel of the year."--Michael Miller, New York Observer
"A novel of ideas — about how language, film and art alter what we think of as reality. It's for readers ready to slow down and savor the words. It's for those who would watch not just Psycho, but ponder the meanings of '24 Hour Psycho'."—Bob Minzesheimer, USA Today
"DeLillo is, without any doubt or qualification, one of the most influential, brilliant, gifted and insightful of American novelists. There are sentences in this book that are breathtaking."—Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star

Look Inside the Colon with Sigmoidoscopy
What is a colonoscopy?
A colonoscopy is a procedure that allows your doctor to examine the lining of your colon and rectum using a thin, flexible instrument called a colonoscope. The colonoscope has a camera that transmits pictures of the inside of your colon to a video screen. A colonoscopy is an important test that can help detect colorectal cancer in its earliest, most curable stage and other serious conditions.
The colon and the rectum make up the large intestine, sometimes called the large bowel. The large intestine is a long, hollow organ in your abdomen that plays an important role in digestion by removing water from digested material and forming feces. In addition to looking for signs of colorectal cancer, a colonoscopy can help your doctor find the reason for unexplained intestinal symptoms you may be having, such as changes in your bowel movements, abdominal pain, or rectal bleeding.
Colonoscopy is only one method used to screen for colon cancer. You should discuss different screening options with your doctor or healthcare provider to best understand which option is right for you.
Types of colonoscopy
The types of colonoscopy procedures include:
- Colonoscopy is an endoscopy procedure which involves inserting a colonoscope into the large intestine through the anus. The colonoscope contains a camera that transmits pictures of the inside of your colon to a computer screen.
- Virtual colonoscopy is a type of computerized tomography (CT) scan that uses X-rays to produce images of the inside of the large intestine. Despite its name, virtual colonoscopy is not an actual endoscopy procedure because it does not involve inserting a colonoscope into the large intestine.
Other procedures that may be performed
In addition to a colonoscopy, your doctor may also recommend one or more additional procedures to diagnose or treat certain conditions. The following procedures may be performed during the colonoscopy procedure:
- Control of bleeding in the large intestine by injecting medications or closing off bleeding vessels with heat or applying clips
- Removal of colon polyps, which are abnormal growths in the large intestine that can become cancerous
- Tissue biopsy, which involves removing samples of abnormal looking intestinal tissues to be examined for disease or malignancy
Why is a colonoscopy performed?
Your doctor may recommend a colonoscopy to diagnose and possibly treat a variety of diseases and conditions of the colon and rectum including:
- Abdominal pain if the underlying cause has not been found through less invasive testing. Abdominal pain can be caused by many different conditions, such as inflammatory bowel disease, diverticulitis, and intestinal ulcer.
- Anemia (low red blood cell count) if the underlying cause has not been found through less invasive testing. A colonoscopy can be used to identify potential bleeding sites.
- Bleeding symptoms, such as rectal bleeding, bloody stool, or black, tarry feces. Potential causes of such bleeding that can be identified with a colonoscopy include colon cancer and intestinal inflammation or damage.
- Bowel movement changes, such as pencil thin stools. Bowel movement changes can be caused by a variety of conditions from intestinal inflammation to colon cancer.
- Colon polyps, abnormal growths in the large intestine that can become cancerous. In some cases, polyps are first identified during another procedure called a barium enema and removed during colonoscopy.
- Colorectal cancer screening. A colonoscopy can identify and remove abnormal tissue and colon polyps before they have the chance to develop into cancer.
- Diarrhea. A colonoscopy can identify inflammation and infections.
- Diverticulosisand diverticulitis, intestinal pockets that can develop over time and become infected
- Inflammatory bowel disease, which includes ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease
- Unexplained weight loss if the underlying cause has not been found through other, less invasive tests

In the U.S. baking industry, vertical mixers are synonymous with artisan breads and sweet goods. These mixers function ideally with these applications because vertical mixers stretch dough's gluten structure without ripping and damaging the dough's integrity.
This is especially important in artisan bread formulas, where dough integrity and hydration are essential to quality products.
"Mixers need a lot of time to get the protein web developed to the point where it can hold water," one vertical mixer manufacturer says. "Since most mixers mix by friction and therefore generate heat, the mixing action is damaging the protein web or net. Because this protein web holds the water, dough reaches a saturation point where it cannot hold any more water."
For years, mixer manufacturers have pushed the limits of hydration in doughs, slowly ramping up the amount of water incorporated into each batch. Vertical mixers with spiral attachments are the workhorses of the artisan bread industry. These mixers work by friction, constantly pushing the dough against the sides and bottom of the bowl. These mixers are efficient and possess the needed flexibility to mix highly hydrated dough in a reasonable amount of time.
However, friction creates heat, an enemy of the mixing function. To eliminate the friction caused by traditional spiral mixer arms, one mixer manufacturer has developed a vertical mixer with unique mixing tools.
Instead of traditional spiral arms, the mixer uses two vertical bars. Both bars move counter clockwise and meet in the middle. As the mixing arms meet in the middle of the bowl, they cut the dough. As the arms move away from the middle of the bowl, they pull and stretch the dough.
"These mixing tools have a combination of compression and stretching that builds the gluten structure in a way where it can accept and hold more water," the mixer's manufacturer says.
The mixer's action provides many benefits:
- Reduces mix times compared to spiral and horizontal mixers, because the entire batch of dough is stretched and compressed at all times during mixing.
- Increases water absorption by 5% to 10%
- Improves dough quality with ideal gluten development
- Improves amalgamation of fat-based ingredients and particulates
- Lowers energy costs.
"We have run tests on ciabatta dough with 85% water, and when you look at the dough, it looks like soup," the mixer manufacturer says. "But when you pull on the dough, it has a beautiful elastic structure that could not be created on any other type of mixer."
Problem Solver Quick Tip
To eliminate the friction caused by traditional spiral mixer arms, one mixer manufacturer has developed a vertical mixer with unique, straight bar mixing tools.

Laser-induced incandescence measurements of soot production in steady and flickering methane, propane, and ethylene diffusion flames
. Combustion and Flame [Internet]. 1996;107:418-452.
Quantitative experimental measurements of soot concentrations and soot scattering are presented for a series of steady and flickering coflowing methane, propane, and ethylene flames burning at atmospheric pressure. Flickering diffusion flames exhibit a wide range of time-dependent, vortex-flame sheet interactions, and thus they serve as an important testing ground for assessing the applicability of chemical models derived from steady flames. Acoustic forcing of the fuel flow rate is used to phase lock the periodic flame flicker close to the natural flame flicker frequency caused by buoyancy-induced instabilities. For conditions in which flame clip-off occurs, the peak soot concentrations in the methane flickering flames are 5.5 to 6 times larger than measured in a steady flame burning with the same mean fuel flow rate, whereas the enhancement for the flickering propane and ethylene flames is only 35 to 60%, independent of the flicker intensity. Soot concentration profiles and full Mie analysis of the soot volume fraction/scattering results reveal significant differences in the structure of the soot fields and in the roles of soot inception, growth, and oxidation for the different hydrocarbon fuels. The soot concentrations have been measured using laser-induced incandescence (LII). Since this is the only technique currently available for making time- and spatially-resolved soot concentration measurements in time-varying flow fields, considerable effort has been devoted to developing LII for quantitative applications. Important considerations include (1) proper calibration measurements, (2) signal detection which minimizes interferences from C2 Swan-band emission and broadband molecular fluorescence, (3) correction for the laser beam focus/spatial averaging effect in line image measurements, and (4) correction for LII signal extinction within the flame.

Quantitative Analysis of In Situ Optical Diagnostics for Inferring Particle/Aggregate Parameters in Flames: Implications for Soot Surface Growth and Total Emissivity
. Combustion and Flame [Internet]. 1996;109:488-500.
An in situ particulate diagnostic/analysis technique is outlined based on the Rayleigh-Debye-Gans polydisperse fractal aggregate (RDG/PFA) scattering interpretation of absolute angular light scattering and extinction measurements. Using proper particle refractive index, the proposed data analysis method can quantitatively yield all aggregate parameters (particle volume fraction, fv, fractal dimension, Df, primary particle diameter, dp, particle number density, np, and aggregate size distribution, pdf(N)) without any prior knowledge about the particle-laden environment. The present optical diagnostic/interpretation technique was applied to two different soot-containing laminar and turbulent ethylene/air nonpremixed flames in order to assess its reliability. The aggregate interpretation of optical measurements yielded Df, dp, and pdf(N) that are in excellent agreement with ex situ thermophoretic sampling/transmission electron microscope (TS/TEM) observations within experimental uncertainties. However, volume-equivalent single particle models (Rayleigh/Mie) overestimated dp by about a factor of 3, causing an order of magnitude underestimation in np. Consequently, soot surface areas and growth rates were in error by a factor of 3, emphasizing that aggregation effects need to be taken into account when using optical diagnostics for a reliable understanding of soot formation/evolution mechanism in flames. The results also indicated that total soot emissivities were generally underestimated using Rayleigh analysis (up to 50%), mainly due to the uncertainties in soot refractive indices at infrared wavelengths. This suggests that aggregate considerations may not be essential for reasonable radiation heat transfer predictions from luminous flames because of fortuitous error cancellation, resulting in typically a 10 to 30% net effect.

Soot mass concentration measurements in diesel engine exhaust using laser-induced incandescence
. Aerosol Science and Technology. 1996;25:46-60.
Simultaneous measurements of laser-induced incandescence (LII) and elastic scattering from soot particles in diesel engine exhaust have been made. The LII signal scaled linearly with the mass concentration of the non-volatile particulate mass fraction over the entire range of engine operating loads. Over this range of conditions, the volume mean diameter of the soot particles varied from 0.07 to 0.11 mu m, but the size change did not appear to affect the signal response. The scattering response did not scale linearly with the mass concentration of soot. Mass concentrations of 0.2 mg/m3 were easily detectable, with even lower values possible. Additional techniques for determining the volatile fraction of particulate mass are described. (Author abstract). EiPLUS (c) 1996 Engineering Information Inc.

Spectral extinction coefficients of soot aggregates from turbulent diffusion flames
. Journal of Heat Transfer Transactions of the ASME. 1996;118:415-421.
The spectral extinction coefficients of soot aggregates were studied in the fuel-lean (overfire) region of buoyant turbulent diffusion flames. Extinction measurements were carried out in the wavelength region of 0.2-5.2 mu m for flames fueled with acetylene, propylene, ethylene, and propane, burning in air. The present measurements were combined with earlier measurements of soot morphology and light scattering at 0.514 mu m in order to evaluate the spectral soot refractive indices reported by Dalzell and Sarofim (1969), Lee and Tien (1981), and Chang and Charalampopoulos (1990). The specific extinction coefficients and emissivities were predicted based on Rayleigh-Debye-Gans theory for polydisperse fractal aggregates, which has been recently found to be the best approximation to treat optical cross sections of soot aggregates. The results indicated that available refractive indices of soot do not predict the spectral trends of present measurements in the ultraviolet and infrared regions. Soot complex refractive index was inferred to be m = 1.54 + 0.48i at 0.514 mu m, which is surprisingly in best agreement with the values reported by Dalzell and Sarofim (1969). Additionally, specific extinction coefficients of soot aggregates varied with wavelength as lambda(-0.83) from the visible to the infrared. Finally soot refractive indices were found to be relatively independent of fuel type for the visible and infrared spectral regions over the H/C ratio range of 0.08-0.22.

Fractal and projected structure properties of soot aggregates
. Combustion and Flame [Internet]. 1995;100:621-633.
The structure of soot aggregates was investigated, emphasizing the fractal properties as well as the relationships between the properties of actual and projected soot images. This information was developed by considering numerically simulated soot aggregates based on cluster-cluster aggregation as well as measured soot aggregates based on thermophoretic sampling and analysis by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) of soot for a variety of fuels (acetylene, propylene, ethylene, and propane) and both laminar and turbulent diffusion flame conditions. It was found that soot aggregate fractal properties are relatively independent of fuel type and flame condition, yielding a fractal dimension of 1.82 and a fractal prefactor of 8.5, with experimental uncertainties (95% confidence) of 0.08 and 0.5, respectively. Relationships between the actual and projected structure properties of soot, e.g., between the number of primary particles and the projected area and between the radius of gyration of an aggregate and its projected image, also are relatively independent of fuel type and flame condition.

Two-dimensional imaging of soot volume fraction by the use of laser-induced incandescence
. Applied Optics [Internet]. 1995;34:7083-7091.
A recently developed laser-induced incandescence technique is used to make novel planar measurements of soot volume fraction within turbulent diffusion flames and droplet flames. The two-dimensional imaging technique is developed and assessed by systematic experiments in a coannular laminar diffusion flame, in which the soot characteristics have been well established. With a single point calibration procedure, agreement to within 10% was found between the values of soot volume fraction measured by this technique and those determined by conventional laser scattering-extinction methods in the flame. As a demonstration of the wide range of applicability of the technique, soot volume fraction images are also obtained from both turbulent ethene diffusion flames and from a freely falling droplet flame that burns the mixture of 75% benzene and 25% methanol. For the turbulent diffusion flames, approximately an 80% reduction in soot volume fraction was found when the Reynolds number of the fuel jet increased from 4000 to 8000. In the droplet flame case, the distribution of soot field was found to be similar to that observed in coannular laminar diffusion flames.

Comparison of a fractal smoke optics model with light extinction measurements
. Atmos. Environ. [Internet]. 1994;28:889-97.
Optical cross-sections of carbonaceous aggregates (smoke) formed by combustion sources have been computed based on fractal concepts. Specific extinction depends upon the primary particle size, the structure of the aggregates as represented by the fractal dimension, the fractal prefactor, and the real and imaginary components of the refractive index of the particle material. While the fractal dimension and primary particle diam. are narrowly defined, the refractive index, to which the results are highly sensitive, are disputed. Specific extinction was measured at .lambda. = 450, 630, and 1000 nm in a smoke-filled chamber with an optical path length of 1.0 m that was equipped to continuously monitor both particle mass and no. concn. as the smoke aged during a 90-120 min interval. The smoke was generated by the burning of crude oil in a pool fire. Specific extinction at all three values of .lambda. was const. even though the aggregate no. concn. decreases by a factor of 24 owing to cluster-cluster aggregation. The refractive indexes at several wavelengths that are required to give agreement with the measured specific extinction are compared with literature values. The inadequacy of Mie theory for spheres in predicting the optical properties of soot aggregates is reiterated.

Laser-induced incandescence: Development and characterization towards a measurement of soot-volume fraction
. Applied Physics B [Internet]. 1994;59:445-452.
Laser-Induced Incandescence (LII) occurs when a high-energy pulsed laser is used to heat soot to incandescent temperatures. Theoretical calculations predict and experimental tests demonstrate the resulting incandescence to be a measure of soot-volume fraction. Practical implementation of the technique is detailed by examining the spectral character, temporal behavior, and excitation-intensity dependence of the resulting thermal emission from the laser-heated soot in both premixed and diffusion flames. Spatial and temporal capabilities of LII are demonstrated by obtaining one- and two-dimensional images of soot-volume fraction via laser-induced incandescence in both types of flames.

Spatially resolved measurements of soot volume fraction using laser-induced incandescence
. Combustion and Flame [Internet]. 1994;97:384-392.
Laser-induced incandescence is used to obtain spatially resolved measurements of soot volume fraction in a laminar diffusion flame, excellent agreement. In addition, the laser-induced incandescence signal is observed to involve a rapid rise in intensity followed by a relatively long (ca. 600 ns) decay period subsequent to the laser pulse, while the effect of laser fluence is manifest in nonlinear and near-saturated response of the laser-induced incandescence signal. Laser-induced incandescence can be used as an instantaneous, spatially resolved diagnostic of soot volume fraction without the need for the conventional line-of-sight laser extinction method, while potential applications in two-dimensional imaging and simultaneous measurements of laser-induced incandescence and light-scattering to generate a complete soot property characterization are significant.

Peterschmidt family
Peterschmidt (Peterschmitt), a Mennonite family name of frequent occurrence in Alsace, but also found in the Palatinate and Baden. It is found in the congregations of Colmar, Wolfganzen, and Neuf-Brisach, as well as in Pulversheim, and in the 1950s in Le Hang. As early as 1822 a letter sent to the Birkenhof congregation by Colmar was signed by Sebastian Peterschmitt. J. Peterschmitt of Rheinfelderhof near Fessenheim was one of the two representatives (the other being Pelsy of Alsace) in the Conference of South German Mennonites in 1912. When communications with the South German Conference declined after World War I and those with France expanded, Elder Benjamin Peterschmitt of Colmar became a member of the conjoint conference. In the 1950s Jean Peterschmitt was the elder of the Neuf-Brisach congregation, Eugene Peterschmitt a minister, and Emil Peterschmitt a deacon. Willi Peterschmitt of Munzenheim served as traveling evangelist for the French Mennonite Conference.
