Because of the contradiction between the spatial and temporal resolution of remote sensing images (RSI) and quality loss in the process of acquisition, it is of great significance to reconstruct RSI in remote sensing applications. Recent studies have demonstrated that reference image-based reconstruction methods have great potential for higher reconstruction performance, while lacking accuracy ...

Rocuronium is a recently synthesized non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agent (NMBA) that has been demonstrated to have a faster onset of action than any other non-depolarizing NMBA. Although widely studied in the operating room, there are no reports regarding its use for emergent tracheal intubation in the emergency department (ED). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of roc...

In the present study participants completed two blocks of the Stroop task, one in which the response-stimulus interval (RSI) was 3500 ms and one in which RSI was 200 ms. It was expected that, in line with previous research, the shorter RSI would induce a low Task Conflict context by increasing focus on the color identification goal in the Stroop task and lead to a novel finding of an increase i...

INTRODUCTION Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) is considered an important cause of voice disorder. We aimed to determine the frequency of LPR in patients with voice disorder and the association between Koufman Reflux Symptom Index (RSI), Reflux Finding Score (RFS), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and proximal acid reflux in these patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed a prospective...

introduction: to reduce occupational accidents and work-related diseases as well as improving satisfaction of working conditions, assessment to identify risks and control measures are necessary. the aim of this study, applying ergonomic assessment indices to assessed the job groups and ability of textile workers. materials and methods: this study was conducted on 194 men employed in the qaembaf...

In the computer vision community, great progresses have been achieved in salient object detection from natural scene images (NSI-SOD); by contrast, optical remote sensing (RSI-SOD) remains to be a challenging emerging topic. The unique characteristics of RSIs, such as scales, illuminations and imaging orientations, bring significant differences between NSI-SOD RSI-SOD. this paper, we propose no...

Drs Cadamy and Booth condemn the use of rocuronium at rapid sequence induction (RSI) and advocate a propo-fol/alfentanil regimen as an alternative to thiopentone/suxamethonium (Anaesthesia 1999; 54: 817). Although a number of studies involving healthy subjects have shown that tracheal intubation can indeed be performed without neuromuscular block, there is no evidence that such propofol/opioid ...

BACKGROUND The administration of etomidate for rapid sequence induction (RSI) has been linked to subsequent adrenocortical insufficiency in nontrauma patients. However, etomidate-related adrenocortical insufficiency has not been well studied in the trauma population. PURPOSE We performed a prospective, randomized, controlled study to assess the effect of one dose of etomidate for RSI on adren...

Development along marine and estuarine shorelines, coupled with the uncertain status of many species that use nearshore habitats, has generated a strong interest in both describing nearshore resources and understanding how to restore them. Advances in GIS technology and the wide availability of GIS software and inexpensive and powerful computers are improving our ability to manage complex natur...

Data products generated from remotely-sensed, geospatial imagery (RSI) used in emerging areas, such as global climatology, environmental monitoring, land use, and disaster management, require costly and time consuming efforts in processing the data. For the researcher, data is typically fully replicated using file-based approaches, then undergoes multiple processing steps, these steps often bei...
