Background—The management of neonates with complex congenital anomalies depends on careful interpretation of arterial blood gas values. Improved interpretation of these oxygen parameters may allow clinicians to avoid unexpected cardiovascular events. This study examined whether systemic oxygen delivery (DO2) can be maximized by the use of indices derived from oxygen saturation measurements in n...

The haemodynamic effects of hydralazine were studied in seven infants and a child, each with a large ventricular septal defect. Hydralazine, 0.3 mg/kg, was administered intravenously. This caused a lowering of pulmonary arterial pressure from 57 +/- 4 mmHg to 49 +/- 4 mmHg, and a lowering of left atrial pressure from 12 +/- 1 mmHg to 10 +/- 1 mmHg. Systemic vascular resistance was reduced from ...

A Mathematical model has been considered to study the reflection and refraction phenomenon of plane wave at the interface of an isotropic liquid medium and a triclinic (anisotropic) half-space. The incident plane qP wave generates three types of reflected waves namely quasi-P (qP), quasi-SV (qSV) and quasi-SH (qSH) waves in the tric...

The long-term planning of electricity generation in a liberalised market using the Bloom and Gallant model can be posed as a quadratic programming (QP) problem with an exponential number of linear inequality constraints called load-matching constraints (LMCs) and several other linear non-LMCs. Direct solution methods are inefficient at handling such problems and a heuristic procedure has been d...

In this letter, we present a computationally efficient trajectory optimizer that can exploit GPUs to jointly compute trajectories of tens agents in under second. At the heart our is novel reformulation non-convex collision avoidance constraints reduces core computation each iteration large scale, convex, unconstrained Quadratic Program (QP). Importantly, QP structure requires us associated matr...
