introduction: pulsed dye laser (pdl) has been used to treat acne lesions and scar erythema by interrupting superficial vasculature. salicylic acid chemical peels are employed chiefly due to their lipophilic, comedolytic, and anti-inflammatory properties. although studies have looked at peels and laser therapy independently in acne management, we examined these treatments in combination. our pri...

exploiting multimodal information like acceleration and heart rate is a promising method to achieve human action recognition. a semi-supervised action recognition approach aucc (action understanding with combinational classifier) using the diversity of base classifiers to create a high-quality ensemble for multimodal human action recognition is proposed in this paper. furthermore, both labeled ...

  Background: Our institution’s traditional pain management strategy after shoulder arthroplasty has involved the utilization of postoperative patient-controlled narcotic analgesia. More recently, we have implemented a protocol (TLC) that utilizes a multimodal approach. The purpose of this study was to determine whether this change has improved pain control and decreased narcotic utilization. ...

How do English as a lingua franca (ELF) speakers achieve multimodal cohesion on the basis of their specific interests and cultural backgrounds? From a dialogic and collaborative view of communication, this study focuses on how verbal and nonverbal modes cohere together during intercultural conversations. The data include approximately 160-minute transcribed video recordings of ELF interactions ...

conclusions the combination of intravenous paracetamol 1 gr and ketamine 0.5 mg/kg resulted in an overall reduction in pain scores, decreased postoperative analgesic requirements, and lower agitation score compared with intravenous paracetamol 1 gr and tramadol 0.7 mg/kg for patients undergoing renal surgery. results postoperative pain scores were significantly lower in the pk group than in the...

numerous algorithms have been proposed to solve the shortest-pathproblem; many of them consider a single-mode network and crispcosts. other attempts have addressed the problem of fuzzy costs ina single-mode network, the so-called fuzzy shortest-path problem(fspp). the main contribution of the present work is to solve theoptimum path problem in a multimodal transportation network, inwhich the co...

abstractthe aim of intercultural translation is to communicate. communication is acted via verbal as well as visual means. the interaction of verbal and visual means of communication makes a set of complex situations which demand special attention in translation. one context in which the interaction of visual and verbal elements gets vital importance is children’s picture books. color is an int...

A semi-analytical method is used to illustrate the behavior of a multimodal nonlinear electromechanical system which is under base-excitation. System is considered as piezo-ceramic patches attached to a cantilever beam coupled to a resistive load. The cantilever beam is modeled as a nonlinear Timoshenko beam using Assumed Mode method and equations of motion are derived through Lagrange's equati...

Nowadays, organizations have to compete with different competitors in regional, national and international levels, so they have to improve their competition capabilities to survive against competitors. Undertaking activities on a global scale requires a proper distribution system which could take advantages of different transportation modes. Accordingly, the present paper addresses a location-r...
