Ketamine was developed in the 1960s and promoted as a dissociative anesthetic because of its ability to induce a lack of responsive awareness not only to pain but to the general environment. The subjective experiences of ketamine intoxication range from pleasant dreams to intensely visual or polysensual hallucinations. Occasionally a brief full-blown delirium occurs. Despite warnings about its abuse potential, ketamine eventually appeared on the streets in the early 1970s in the same way that phencyclidine (PCP) did in the 1960s. By the early 1980s various preparations of ketamine were available on the street with such names as Special K, 1980 acid, and Super C. In the 1990s the social-recreational use of ketamine reemerged in the context of a subcultural music phenomenon known as “acid house” music. Large-scale parties, usually called “raves,” combine acid house music and ketamine use. Ketamine abuse appears to be on the increase. Clinically significant consequences range from occasional flashbacks to delirious reactions, and every type of dissociative symptomology.
Introduction. Fourier technique was employed in this analysis to reduce snow temperature data collected between 1961 and 1963 at Camp Century, Greenland. The effects of radiation and pressure fluctuations on the heat transfer processes in the snow were not considered because the experimental site was located 600 cm from top surface in the floor of a completely covered snow trench. Fourier coefficients derived from the analysis will not only provide the variation in the amplitude of the temperature wave with depths and times of temperature extremes, but they will also give insight into the mechanism of the heat transfer processes and the thermal‐physical properties of the medium under study.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
