TL;DR: Equally stable foam is found in the bronchi of an animal the respiratory movements of which have been paralysed and into the trachea of which a mixture of oxygen and ammonia gas has been insufflated for one or two hours.
Abstract: IN acute lung œdema in the rabbit, fluid a ad foam are found in the trachea. This foam has an altogether peculiar property, in that it is unaffected by silicone anti-foams; these rapidly destroy the foams produced by shaking œdema fluid or blood serum with air. Equally stable foam is found in the bronchi of an animal the respiratory movements of which have been paralysed and into the trachea of which a mixture of oxygen and ammonia gas has been insufflated for one or two hours; similar foams are obtained from healthy lung by cutting and squeezing under water, or after introduction of saline into the trachea. The stability of such foams is due to an insoluble surface layer on the bubbles; this layer can be attacked by pancreatin or by trypsin.

TL;DR: In this paper, a systematic application of the method of integral transforms to the problem of the indentation of the plane surface of a semi-infinite elastic solid by a rigid punch reduced the problem essentially to one of solving a pair of integral equations belonging to a class which has been studied by Titchmarsh and by Busbridge (4,5).
Abstract: During the course of some investigations on the distribution of stress in an elastic solid it was noticed by the senior author that a systematic application of the method of integral transforms to the problem of the indentation of the plane surface of a semi-infinite elastic solid by a rigid punch reduced the problem essentially to one of solving a pair of integral equations belonging to a class which has been studied by Titchmarsh and by Busbridge (4,5). This procedure allows one to obtain the solution for an arbitrary shape of punch by a general method which leads automatically to the solution and avoids the troublesome procedure, adopted by Love (2) in the case of a conical punch, of being obliged to guess appropriate combinations of solutions which will satisfy the prescribed boundary conditions in any special case. Moreover, it can easily be seen that an attempt to apply Love's method to more complicated shapes of punch will lead to considerable analytical difficulties.

TL;DR: In this article, a 2 × 2 table is used to test whether an experiment yields results in the form of a 2× 2 table, and the results are shown to be true or false.
Abstract: IF an experiment yields results in the form of a 2 × 2 table:
