Ecthyma gangrenosum is considered as a pathognomonic sign of Pseudomonas aeruginosa sepsis. Lesions similar to ecthyma gangrenosum may be caused by other organisms. We report a case of an ecthyma gangrenosum-like eruption caused by Morganella morganii, a Gram-negative bacillus.

The transmembrane potential (TMP) of a cell exposed to harmonic or transient electric fields is the main parameter for a successful permeabilization of a cell. Obviously, TMP can be computed with a finite-element method, but the high contrast between sizes and electromagnetic properties of the cytoplasm, the membrane, and the extra-cellular medium leads sometimes to inaccurate numerical results. Influences of membrane conductivity and frequency on the accuracy are studied. Optimization of transient waveforms is proposed for various shapes of cells.Index Terms-Bioelectric phenomena, biological cells, electromagnetic field computing, finite-element method (FEM).

In developing cities such as in Jakarta, there are a lot of vehicle parking locations that still use conventional methods, which can harm drivers and also parking area owners alike, the process is slow and unsafe, making many people around feel afraid to use parking locations that are still conventional, the conventional parking lots in Jakarta is too many, sometimes also make people have no other choice but to use unsecured parking lots, theft is the main factor that is difficult to avoid, especially in developing countries like Indonesia, which are not safe, and the location of the parking lot that is very open, makes a lot of opportunities which of course can be used by thieves or irresponsible people. Not only thieves, drivers who do not want to pay for parking, are also a problem for owners of parking lots. With the problems of these users, we plan to make modular parking applications that can be installed easily and cheaply, but because our group is not so large, there are several challenges that we face, such as time and requirements that can increase later, with thus we plan to make this parking application using the Extreme Programming method, which is possible and very suitable for the problems that our group is facing. The use of Extreme Programming turned out to be very helpful, and can also produce an application that matches the existing user stories.

The digital luminescence radiography (DLR) technique is being used increasingly for clinical diagnosis, particularly in intensive care . Since the installation of a DLR unit, we have carried out more than 20,000 examinations of the chest on patients in intensive care. 12.1% of these were lateral radiographs. In this way, the diagnosis can be made of the extent of a pleural effusion, the presence of a ventral pneumothorax or of atelectasis. Using DLR, these examinations can be carried out at the bedside and have improved the radiological investigation of patients in intensive care.
