To compared the ability of chewing gum or simo decoction (SMD) and acupuncture to reduce incidence of postoperative ileus (POI) after colorectal cancer resection, patients with colorectal cancer undergoing open or laparoscopic resection were randomized to receive SMD and acupuncture (n = 196), chewing gum alone (n = 197) or no intervention (n = 197) starting on postoperative day 1 and continuin...

The objective of this contribution is to discuss some aspects of system identification of cascade systems. Models of such systems are important in for example cascade control applications. We will restrict our attention to systems with one input signal and two output signals. First, we will analyze some fundamental limitations regarding the statistical properties of such estimates, and in parti...

We consider a cylindrical three-dimensional body, made of a Saint Venant-Kirchhoff material, and we let its thickness go to zero. For a specific order of magnitude for the applied loads and under appropriate restrictions on the set of admissible deformations, we show that the almost-minimizers of the total energy converge toward deformations that minimize the nonlinear bending energy obtained b...

Terahertz (THz) imaging technology has received increased attention in recent years and been widely applied, whereas the three-dimensional (3D) for moving targets remains to be solved. In this paper, an adaptive 3D scheme is proposed based on a single input multi-output (SIMO) interferometric inverse synthetic aperture radar (InISAR) system achieve images of THz band. With specially designed SI...

The major demand for portable electronics devices such as pagers, laptops, cellular phones etc. Single input multiple output (SIMO) converter will be proposed to give different supply voltages while keep up prolong battery life. A single-discharge (SDC) control scheme is introduce simplify the inductor design, attain low cross regulation, and support board range of loads with decent efficiency ...

A fully-digital wideband joint communication-radar (JCR) with a single-input-multiple-output (SIMO) architecture at the millimeter-wave (mmWave) band will enable high communication and radar performance enhanced design flexibility. quantized receiver few-bit analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) practical JCR solution reduced power consumption for futuristic portable devices autonomous vehicles. ...
