this study was designed to develop a modified tbi weight drop model for induction of focal mild cerebral injury. a stereotaxic coupled weight drop device was designed. principle arm of device carries up to 500g weights which their force was conveyed to animal skull through a thin nail like metal tip. to determine the optimal configuration of the device to induce mild tbi, six different trials w...

We measured the effect of thoracoabdominal configuration on twitch transdiaphragmatic pressure (Pdi, t) in response to supramaximal, transcutaneous, bilateral phrenic nerve shocks in three thin normal men. Pdi, t was measured as a function of lung volume (VL) in the relaxation configuration, at functional residual capacity (FRC), and at the same end-tidal VL 1) during relaxation; 2) with the ab...

OBJECTIVE To describe the configuration and use of the computerized provider order entry (CPOE) system used for inpatient and outpatient care at the authors' facility. DESIGN Description of order configuration entities, use patterns, and configuration changes in a production CPOE system. MEASUREMENTS The authors extracted and analyzed the content of order configuration entities (order dialo...

This paper discusses the configuration management of reusable software, and proposes an architecture that incorporates configuration management with a software library. Introduction Software configuration management concerns monitoring and controlling changes to software. This paper discusses configuration management of reusable software assets, drawing on previous work on configuration managem...

Software Defined Networking (SDN) defines a network architecture in which the control plane is managed by a logically centralized controller, and thus configuration updates occur frequently. We have recently introduced an approach that uses time-based configuration updates, allowing to simplify complex update procedures and to minimize transient effects caused by configuration changes. This pap...

Systems can become misconfigured for a variety of reasons such as operator errors or buggy patches. When a misconfiguration is discovered, usually the first order of business is to restore availability, often by undoing the misconfiguration. To simplify this task, we propose the Statistical Analysis for Identifying Configuration Files (SAIC), which analyzes how the contents of a file changes ov...
