This paper is a continuation of the first part of our study on type 〈1, 1〉 fuzzy quantifiers determined by fuzzy measures, in which the basic notions and examples were introduced. Here, we study the properties of permutation invariance and isomorphism invariance of fuzzy quantifiers determined by pairs of functionals (S, φ) and their special cases, e.g., fuzzy quantifiers defined by fuzzy measu...

A simple system for administration of continuous positive airway pressure breathing uses a corrugated hose in the modified Mapleson D system for anaesthesia. The only mechanical component of the system is a spring-loaded valve for positive end expiratory pressure.

purpose : to evaluate efficacy, complications, and patient satisfaction using local anesthesia (la), in comparison to with general anesthesia (ga) in external dacryocystorhinostomy (dcr) methods : in this prospective study, 149 patients with complete nasolacrimal duct (nld) obstruction who were candidates for external dcr were randomized in 2 groups: ga 73 patients, and la 76 patients. intraope...

abstract   background and purpose: traditional lecture-based teaching has been long used to transit theoretical knowledge to the participants. due to some problems of this didactic approach, some believe that integration within an active method is more valuable in nursing education. in this study, we hypothesized that integrating lecture-based teaching within clerkship course would enhance nurs...

The slip phenomena in thin polymer films confined by either flat or periodically corrugated surfaces are investigated by molecular dynamics and continuum simulations. For atomically flat surfaces and weak wall-fluid interactions, the shear rate dependence of the slip length has a distinct local minimum which is followed by a rapid increase at higher shear rates. For corrugated surfaces with wav...

Rectal bleeding following any form of rectal surgery is a well recognised complication 1, 2, 3 & 4. However retro-rectal bleeding and tracking which then presents as rectal bleeding has not been reported in the literature. We describe a novel way of dealing with this technically difficult post-operative complication.We present two cases of significant rectal bleeding (one following STARR proced...

Access to the published version may require subscription. The difficulty in predicting the properties and behaviour of paper products produced using heterogeneous raw materials with high percentages of recovered fibres poses restrictions on their efficient and effective use as corrugated packaging materials. This work presents predictive models for the mechanical properties of corrugated base p...

This paper presents the heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics of a primary surface heat exchanger (PSHE) with corrugated surfaces. The PSHE was experimentally investigated for a Reynolds number range of 156–921 under various flow conditions on the hot and cold sides. The inlet temperature of the hot side was maintained at 40 ̋C, while that of the cold side was maintained at 20 ̋C. A c...

Solar thermal energy-powered air conditioning technologies are receiving increased attention. Among the solar energy-driven cooling technologies, open type liquid desiccant (AC) system is emerging as a promising technology, which has driven solution regenerator. In this of system, evaporation water and concentrating or regenerator performance determines AC necessitates its development experimen...
