Owing to the significance of unit-testing in software development life-cycle, there are several existing approaches on automating the generation of conventional unit tests. However, these approaches often fail to generate a set of test cases that can ensure a high code coverage and manually writing such test cases is a labor-intensive task. To address these preceding issues with conventional un...

background one of the strategies for a good outcome and pain free childbearing is to design the delivery room. objectives the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of snoezelen room on childbearing outcome such as pain intensity, duration of labor, and perinea status in nulliparous women. patients and methods this study was a randomized controlled clinical trial consists of 100 childbea...

This investigation was undertaken to compare the cost impact of prostaglandin E2 gel delivered intracervically in an outpatient versus an inpatient setting. Eligible pregnant women with a singleton gestation that was beyond 37 weeks gestational age and who had an unfavorable cervix (Bishop score < or = 4) received a single dose of 0.5 mg of prostaglandin E2 intracervically as an outpatient or o...

OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to examine the clinical impact of specific fetal monitoring-related practices during induced labor. STUDY DESIGN This was a prospective, nonrandomized study. RESULTS We studied 14,398 women undergoing oxytocin induction of labor. A decrease in the infusion rate of oxytocin in the face of specified category II fetal heart rate tracings was associated ...

The present article describes a field auger sampling method for row-crop root measurements. In agroecosystems where crops are planted in a specific design (row crops), sampling procedures for root biomass quantification need to consider the spatial variability of the root system. This article explains in detail how to sample and calculate root biomass considering the sampling position in the fi...

where 0    1 0    1  is consumption of goods which can be purchased only with money, and  is consumption of goods that can be purchased with government bonds or with money. Again, this is pretty crude, but we could put banks in the model, for example, which hold government bonds, and then bank deposits backed by government bonds are used in exchange — essentially the same thing. I’m...

OBJECTIVE Timely identification and prompt resuscitation of newborns in the delivery room may cause a decline in neonatal morbidity and mortality. We try to identify risk factors in mother and fetus that result in birth of newborns needing resuscitation at birth. METHODS Case notes of all deliveries and neonates born from April 2010 to March 2011 in Mahdieh Medical Center (Tehran, Iran), a Le...

In early 2013 rumors about the Euro-appreciation gained momentum, which may lead to decreases in exports and increases in imports of the member states. Therefore, we investigate the impact of changes in the nominal Euro exchange rate vis-à-vis major currencies on export and import performance of nine different Euro-area-countries. To disentangle the “true” equilibrium elasticities SURE system e...

OBJECTIVE To analyze published randomized trials assessing the safety and efficacy of misoprostol for cervical ripening and labor induction. DATA SOURCES We supplemented a search of entries in electronic data bases with references cited in original studies and review articles to identify randomized trials of misoprostol for cervical ripening and labor induction. METHODS OF STUDY SELECTION T...

OBJECTIVES To describe the incidence of breech presentation at 22-34 weeks' gestation, estimate the incidence of cesarean section delivery by cause of prematurity, and assess the factors associated with caesarean delivery in preterm breech births with preterm labor or preterm premature rupture of membranes. STUDY DESIGN EPIPAGE 2 is a French national prospective population-based cohort study ...
