Background: Episiotomy is the most common obstetric surgical procedure performed in labor room. Mediolateral and Midline episiotomies are types. Post-delivery suture angle important determinant factor which predicts risk of anal sphincter injuries. episiotomy has a significantly lower OASIS rate when compared to midline episiotomies. Aim study was know whether mediolateral actually does influen...

That matter is secondary to shape constitutes the fallacy of design after craft. By nature, and in its rite, the material practice of craft is informed by matter, its method of fabrication, and by the environment (Semper, 1851). As in Nature, when creation begins with matter, morphogenesis, or the generation of form, is a process engendered by the physical forces of Nature (Thompson, 1942; Thom...

Digital technology makes new possibilities in ceramic craft. This project is about how experiential knowledge that the craftsmen gains in a direct physical and tactile interaction with a responding material can be transformed and utilized in the use of digital technologies. The project presents SoundShaping, a system to create ceramics from the human voice. Based on a generic audio feature extr...

A control system architecture is described for an autonomous flying vehicle. The vehicle, equipped with fourteen sensors, uses a model helicopter as an airframe. The control system utilizes these sensors to a) remain aloft and in stable flight, b) navigate to a target and c) manipulate a physical object. The overall approach to the problem is based on a behavioral paradigm. The key contribution...

In this paper we have proposed a semiheuristic optimization algorithm for designing optimal plant layouts in process-focused manufacturing/service facilities. Our proposed algorithm marries the wellknown CRAFT (Computerized Relative Allocation of Facilities Technique) with the Hungarian assignment algorithm. Being a semi-heuristic search, our algorithm is likely to be more efficient in terms of...

The human species descended most probably from an early primate that lived and collected its food in shallow marine waters some 7 to 9 million years ago. The evolution of our brain and species has always been closely related to the resources of the ocean. Methods for catching fish have been known since the earliest days of mankind, involving spearing, harpooning, trapping, catching with hooks, ...

preventive maintenance scheduling is to perform a series of tasks that prevents or minimizes production breakdowns and improves the reliability. mathematical models have been developed to solve the preventive maintenance scheduling problem. there are several limitations in the prior work in this area of research. craft combinations are assumed to be given. the craft combination problem concerns...

BACKGROUND Amoxicillin is a commonly used antibiotic which has a short half-life in human. The frequent administration of amoxicillin is often required to keep the plasma drug level in an effective range. The short dosing interval of amoxicillin could also cause some side effects and drug resistance, and impair its therapeutic efficacy and patients' compliance. Therefore, a three-pulse release ...
