Background: The timing of umbilical cord clamping may affect the need to bloodtransfusion and other morbidities of preterm infants. This study aimed to compare three different cord clamping timing (immediate cord clamping, delayed cord clamping and umbilical cord milking) in preterm infants delivered by cesarean section (CS). <em...

Employing a survival analysis approach, this study synthesizes 3 aspects of gift literature and suggests their effects on the timing of dissolution for a romantic relationship. Products or services can be consumed for the purpose of enhancing self-attractiveness (self-gift), expressing love to partners (other-gift), and announcing a relationship to the outer world (joint-gift). Results indicate...

BACKGROUND Policymakers and program planners consider antenatal care (ANC) coverage to be a primary measure of improvements in maternal health. Yet, evidence from multiple countries indicates that ANC coverage has no necessary relationship with the content of services provided. This study examines the relationship between the timing of the first ANC check-up, a potential predictor of the conten...

Timing analysis plays a vital role in chip design, which analyze whether a chip design meets the timing constraints. The main objectives of timing analysis are speed and accuracy. There are two engines for timing analysis namely Statistical Timing Analysis (STA) and Statistical Static Timing Analysis (SSTA). VLSI CAD has been gaining a lot of interest in both STA and SSTA. As technology continu...

In this study we investigate whether speakers, in line with the predictions of the Hyperand Hypospeech theory, speed up most during the least informative parts and less during the more informative parts, when they are asked to speak faster. We expected listeners to benefit from these changes in timing, and our main goal was to find out whether making the temporal organisation of artificially ti...

The proposed approach for the statistical static timing analysis (SSTA) problem of latch-based sequential circuits under process variations was investigated. The proposed statistical positive cycle detection algorithm is developed in Section 2. Practical implementation considerations are presented in Section 3. Experimental results are shown in Section 4. Based on the current progress, the futu...
