PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the potential of using capnography to analyze respiratory samples taken from a scavenging nitrous oxide nasal hood during routine pediatric dental procedures. METHODS Twenty-two subjects, aged 60-116 months, were administered alternately either 40% nitrous oxide/60% oxygen or 100% oxygen during two sequential restorative appointments. All subj...

Most of the car accidents were cause by improper driving behavior, according to investigates shown that changing lanes improperly would be the one of the main cause. It directed to drivers need an assisting alarm system to help them avoid the dangerous of overtaking. And, we found the existing alarm system and researches try to use different sensory outputs as the alarm signals. However, there ...

Numerous Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs) have been developed for MANETs; however, comparatively little research focuses on intrusion alarm exchange and validation in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs). We provide a secure alarm exchange framework for proactive MANET routing protocols and use Optimized Link State Routing model (OLSR) for the implementation. In our solution, alarms can be aggrega...

It is a well-known problem that intrusion detection systems overload their human operators by triggering thousands of alarms per day. As a matter of fact, we have been asked by one of our service divisions to help them deal with this problem. This paper presents the results of our research, validated thanks to a large set of operational data. We show that alarms should be managed by identifying...

• In this work, an optimal alarm system is developed to predict whether a financial time series modeled via Fractionally Integrated Asymmetric Power ARCH (FIAPARCH) models, up/downcrosses some particular level and give an alarm whenever this crossing is predicted. The paper presents classical and Bayesian methodology for producing optimal alarm systems. Both methodologies are illustrated and th...

27 Social pollinators such as honey bees face attacks from predators not only at the nest, but also during 28 foraging. Pollinating honey bees can therefore release alarm pheromones that deter conspecifics from visiting 29 dangerous inflorescences. However, the effect of alarm pheromone and its chemical components upon bee 30 avoidance of dangerous food sources remains unclear. We tested the re...
