The sharpness of the images in metallography by A. G. Anisovich

“…The use of the concept of depth of field to obtain images of the structure of various objects – fractures, microsection polished specimen, optically transparent materials is illustrated. The errors of focusing on the sharpness for metal specimens are considered; it is shown that in the case of inclined arrangement of the specimen, the zone of sharp image is a strip with parallel boundaries formed by a fuzzy visible structure. …”

Discernment as "not knowing" and "knowing": a perspective from Matthew 25:31-46 by H. C. van Zyl

“… The article deals with Christian discernment as taking place at the juncture of God’s Spirit and the human mind at work. To illustrate this, the concept of “not knowing” in Matthew’s Parable of the Sheep and the Goats (25:31-46) is examined, as well as the implicit presence of “knowing”. …”

Hemoptysis and Unilateral Pulmonary Infiltrates due to Severe Acute Mitral Regurgitation from Papillary Muscle Rupture by Joanna Wieckowska, Nicholas Diloreto, Shannon Hood, Isabella Chojnacki, Dalia Zakri

“…We present a case of a patient presenting with dyspnea and hemoptysis without hemodynamic instability along with right-sided infiltrate on chest radiography a few days after an acute inferolateral STEMI who was found to have posterior papillary muscle rupture resulting in acute mitral regurgitation. Our case illustrates that the aforementioned symptoms and signs should raise concern for acute mitral regurgitation and prompt cardiac evaluation in the appropriate clinical setting as they may mimic acute pulmonary processes and delay critical diagnosis and treatment.…”
