متن کاملThe Splitting Number Can Be Smaller than the Matrix Chaos Number
Abstract. Let χ be the minimum cardinal of a subset of 2 that cannot be made convergent by multiplication with a single Toeplitz matrix. By an application of creature forcing we show that s < χ is consistent. We thus answer a question by Vojtáš. We give two kinds of models for the strict inequality. The first is the combination of an א2-iteration of some proper forcing with adding א1 random rea...
متن کاملCan theoretical values for chest wall compliance be used in ards patients?
Introduction To understand the impact of respiratory mechanics during mechanical ventilation, it is helpful to partition between the lungs and the chest wall. Esophageal pressure (Pes) is used to calculate chest wall compliance. However, esophageal pressure is not always used in the clinical arena. The value of chest wall compliance has been proposed to be estimated using 4% of the predicted va...
متن کاملCan Endoscopic Nasobiliary Drainage Involving Two Catheters Be Used to Treat Various Conditions?
The bile drainage methods in obstructive jaundice include percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) via a percutaneous approach and endoscopic biliary drainage (EBD) through endoscopy. Due to the recent developments in endoscopic accessories and concerning reports on the disadvantages of PTBD, EBD is currently being favored over PTBD.
