conclusions the results of this study showed that remifentanil, similar to alfentanil, provided excellent conditions for endotracheal intubation when used with propofol for the induction of anesthesia; however, remifentanil improved the patency of the vocal cords to a greater extent than alfentanil. results there were no demographic data differences between groups (age, weight, and sex). furthe...

The biological actions of artemisinin (ART), an antimalarial drug derived from Artemisia annua, remain poorly understood and controversial. Besides potent antimalarial activity, some of artemisinin derivatives (together with artemisinin, hereafter referred to as ARTs), in particular dihydroartemisinin (DHA), are also associated with anticancer and other antiparasitic activities. In this study, ...

The advances in science and technology bring the public digital arts from traditional carriers towards new media types. The use, the language and the implications of the material itself are different from it being applied as a carrier for public digital arts. These new media types of public digital arts are in need of new carriers and new form languages for its progress and prosperity in the ag...

This work focuses on numerical simulations of flows inblade internal cooling system. Large Eddy Simulation (LES) andReynolds-Averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) approaches are com-pared in a typical blade cooling related problem. The case isa straight rib-roughened channel with high blockage ratio, com-puted and compared for both a periodic and full spatial domains.The con...

This paper investigates the effectiveness of measures related to vocal tract characteristics in classifying normal and pathological speech. Unlike conventional approaches that mainly focus on features related to the vocal source, vocal tract characteristics are examined to determine if interaction effects between vocal folds and the vocal tract can be used to detect pathological speech. Especia...
