accounted for when calculating the test-dose volume. We chose a test-dose volume of 1 ml. Assuming a catheter dead space of 0.2 ml, this resulted in an actual test-dose volume of approximately 0.22 mlÆkg containing 1.1 lgÆkg epinephrine. This large dose of epinephrine containing local anesthetic allowed to unmistakably identify intravascular catheter position by immediate and dramatic but brief...

Digital music distribution, the success of MP3 and the actual activities concerning the semantic web of music require for convenient music information retrieval. In this paper we will give an overview about the concepts behind our “super-convenience” approach for MIR. By using natural language as input for humanoriented queries to large-scale music collections we were able to address the needs ...

We present a study of parallel implementations of single source shortest path (SSSP) algorithms. In the last three decades number of parallel SSSP algorithms have been developed and implemented on the different type of machines. We have divided some of these implementations into two groups, first are those where parallelization is achieved in the internal operations of sequential SSSP algorithm...

82 Myocardial infarction (MI) may be associated with abnormal Q waves associated with the typical progression of ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and T wave inversions described in Chapter 8. In many cases, however, myocardial ischemia (with or without actual infarction) may be limited primarily to the subendocardium (inner layer) of the ventricle, often associated with ST seg...

In view of the demand 800 meters Super Long Span CFST arch bridge, composite bridge flying swallow and self-anchored suspension cable is proposed. The thrust flying-bird tension are balanced, forming a self-balanced structure system. rib mainly stressed, supplemented by system, which works together has complementary advantages. Using single leaf hyperboloid variable section steel tube four limb...

How important are visual cues for determining satiation? To find out, 64 participants were served lunch in a "dark" restaurant where they ate in complete darkness. Half the participants unknowingly received considerably larger "super-size" portions which subsequently led them to eat 36% more food. Despite this difference, participants' appetite for dessert and their subjective satiety were larg...

Direct volume rendering (DVR) is a very useful visualisation technique. However, the difficulty in specifying a suitable transfer function often discourages its application to visualisation problems. This work presents a technique for providing meaningful and fast visual feedback that greatly facilitates the transfer function specification process. The feedback is based on a slice-based preview...

We report preliminary results of lattice super-Yang-Mills computations using domain wall fermions, performed at an actual rate of 1000 Gflop/s, over the course of six months, using two BlueGene/L racks at Rensselaer’s CCNI supercomputing center. This has allowed us to compute the gluino condensate and string tension over a wide range of lattice parameters, setting the stage for continuum, chira...

The structure of β-Mn crystallizes in space group P4132. The pseudo 8-fold nature of the 41 axes makes it constitute an approximant to the octagonal quasicrystals. In this paper we analyze why a five-dimensional super space group containing mutually perpendicular 8-fold axes cannot generate P4132 on projection to 3-d space and how this may instead be accomplished from a six-dimensional model. A...

We describe geometrical algorithms for interface reconstructions for 3D generalized polyhedral meshes. Three representative piece-wise linear interface calculation methods are considered, namely gradient based method, least squares volume-of-fluid interface reconstruction algorithm, and moment-of-fluid method. Geometric algorithms for the 3D interface reconstructions are described. Algorithm fo...
