Introduction A benefit of in-hospital cardiac arrest is the opportunity for rapid initiation of "high-quality" chest compressions as defined by current American Heart Association (AHA) adult guidelines as a depth 2-2.4 inches, full chest recoil, rate 100-120 per minute, and minimal interruptions with a chest compression fraction (CCF) ≥ 60%. The goal of this study was to assess the effect of au...

Three antituberculosis medications are investigated in this work consist of rifampicin, isoniazid and pyrazinamide. The ultra violet (UV) spectra of these compounds are overlapped, thus use of suitable chemometric methods are helpful for simultaneous spectrophotometric determination of them. A generalized version of net analyte signal standard addition method (GNASSAM) was used for determinatio...

TheMinkowski sum of two setsA,B ∈ IR, denotedA⊕B, is defined as {a+ b | a ∈ A, b ∈ B}. We describe an efficient and robust implementation for the construction of Minkowski sums of polygons in IR using the convolution of the polygon boundaries. This method allows for faster computation of the sum of non-convex polygons in comparison to the widely-used methods for Minkowski-sum computation that d...
