Objective:, To evaluate tracheal intubation condition in adults after anesthetic coinduction with lidocaine and propofol and various doses of remifentanil. Materials and Methods:. In three groups, induction was compared with lidocaine (1.5 mg/kg), propofol (2 mg/kg), and three varing doses of remifentanil (0.5-1-2 μg/kg). Tracheal intubation was graded according to the ease of laryngoscopy, the...

The metacognitive model of obsessive-compulsive symptoms [Wells, A. (1997). Cognitive therapy of anxiety disorders: A practice manual and conceptual guide. Chichester, UK: Wiley] assigns a necessary causal role to metacognitive beliefs in the development of symptoms. The current study tested the model by evaluating the effects of experimentally manipulating such beliefs. A 2×2 factorial design ...

Motors are the higher energy-conversion devices that consume around 40% of global electrical generated energy. Induction motors most popular motor type due to their reliability, robustness, and low cost. Therefore, both condition monitoring fault diagnosis induction faults have motivated considerable research efforts. In this paper, a comprehensive review recent techniques proposed in literatur...

The necessary and sufficient condition for CSP noninterference security stated by the Ipurge Unwinding Theorem is expressed in terms of a pair of event lists varying over the set of process traces. This does not render it suitable for the subsequent application of rule induction in the case of a process defined inductively, since rule induction may rather be applied to a single variable ranging...

Although psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES) are considered a stress-induced paroxysmal disintegration of cognitive functions, it remains unknown whether stress indeed impairs cognitive integrative functions, such as working memory (WM), in patients with PNES. An N-back task with emotional distracters (angry, happy, and neutral faces) was administered at baseline and after stress induction...

This paper conducts a fundamental analysis on the induction generator infinite bus system which is a useful representation for a wind energy converter interfaced to a utility through a transmission line. A third order dynamic model is used to represent the induction generator and the resultant nonlinear system equations are analyzed to derive a condition that guarantees the existence of equilib...

This paper presents design and implements a voltage source inverter type space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) for control a speed of induction motor. This scheme leads to be able to adjust the speed of the motor by control the frequency and amplitude of the stator voltage, the ratio of stator voltage to frequency should be kept constant. The fuzzy logic controller is also introduced to t...

fumonisins, a family of mycotoxins, are mainly toxic and carcinogenic. the present study was carried out to evaluate fumonisin b1 (fb1) effects on the production of inflammatory cytokines by gastric and colon cell lines. the study was performed on two cell lines under in vitro condition, including gastric epithelial cell line (ags) and human colon adenocarcinoma cell line (sw742). lipopolysacch...

Objective(s): Although many researchers have confirmed induction of germ cells from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs), there are no reports that confirm spontaneous differentiation of germ cells from BMMSCs. In this study, we have evaluated the effect of adult Sertoli cell condition medium (SCCM) as a mutative factor in the induction of germ cells from BMMSCs. Materials and Methods: ...

Sleep unbinds memories from their emotional learning context, protecting them from emotional interference due to a change of mood between learning and recall. According to the 'sleep to forget and sleep to remember' model, emotional unbinding takes place during rapid eye movement sleep. To test this hypothesis, we investigated emotional contextual interference effects after early versus late po...
