background the emergence of multidrug-resistant acinetobacter baumannii complicates the therapy of the related infections. hospital isolates of a. baumannii are usually multidrug-resistant. the problem is compounded by increasing resistance to broad-spectrum antibiotics including carbapenems. objectives the aim of this study was to determine antimicrobial susceptibility patterns and distributio...

We describe the Lutonium, an asynchronous 8051 microcontroller designed for low Et. In 0.18m CMOS, at nominal 1.8 V, we expect a performance of 0.5 nJ per instruction at 200 MIPS. At 0.5 V, we expect 4 MIPS and 40 pJ/instruction, corresponding to 25,000 MIPS/Watt. We describe the structure of a fine-grain pipeline optimized for Et efficiency, some of the peripherals implementation, and the adva...

Patient safety assessment in anaesthesia increasingly relies on the monitoring of frequent but merely undesirable events, like hypotension. We report on the design and implementation of such a monitoring system, where 8032 patients were included over a three years period. Thirty two 'Significant Anaesthetic Events' were defined and their occurrence was routinely collected for each patient. A to...

This paper discusses the design and implementation of single phase PWM inverter using 8051 microcontroller. The main features of 8051 based PWM inverter are simpler design, low cost, maximum range of voltage control and compact in size. The designed PWM inverter is tested on various AC loads like AC motor and intensity control of incandescent lamp in a closed loop environment.

Very few studies have been conducted in the ENT profession that did not include use of an expert. For this cross-sectional study, we sought to determine level activity pediatric ear, nose, and throat department. This was a prospective, research including functional unit patients who had observed for period time. A patient's age ranged from 7 months 180 during consultation. sex ratio 1.2 (61/51)...

Of 34 symptomatic adult asthmatic patients (23 men) aged 51 +/- 13 years (mean +/- 1 SD) with moderately severe airways obstruction who underwent maximal exercise testing at room temperature (22 degrees C) and humidity (44 percent RH) using a bicycle ergometer, we identified seven male patients aged 56 +/- 9 years in whom forced expired volume in one second (FEV1) increased greater than or equa...
