BACKGROUND The aim was to describe a strategy for recruitment of healthy volunteers (HV) to a randomized trial that assessed the efficacy of different telephone techniques to assist HV in performing cardiac massage for vital emergency. Participation in the randomized trial was not financially compensated, however HV were offered emergency first-aid training. We also studied factors associated w...

Abstract This paper reports solid lubricant coating on the M2 high-speed steel substrate with MoS 2 :Cu (50:50) green compact electrode by electric discharge (EDC) process. The influence of input parameters (peak current(I) and pulse duration(t )) responses (thickness, microhardness, surface roughness) have been investigated. coated materials atomic weight percentage chemical compounds are exam...

The DECAL sensor is a depleted monolithic active pixel (DMAPS) being developed to explore technological solutions for digital electromagnetic calorimeters. For this application, the number of pixels above threshold used estimate shower energy and therefore size required be sufficiently small avoid hit saturation. Fully Depleted (FD) sensors have been designed fabricated in TowerJazz 180 nm CMOS...

Abstract In this paper the results of Edge-TCT and I-V measurements with passive test structures made in LFoundry 150 nm HV-CMOS process on p-type substrates different initial resistivities ranging from 0.5 to 3 kΩcm are presented. Samples were irradiated reactor neutrons up a fluence 2·10 15 n eq /cm 2 . The depletion depth was measured Edge-TCT. effective space charge concentration N eff esti...

using the notion of “belongingness ($epsilon$)” and “quasi-coincidence (q)” of fuzzy points with fuzzy sets, we introduce the concept of an ($ alpha, beta$)- fuzzyhv-ideal of an hv-ring, where , are any two of {$epsilon$, q,$epsilon$ $vee$ q, $epsilon$ $wedge$ q} with $ alpha$ $neq$ $epsilon$ $wedge$ q. since the concept of ($epsilon$, $epsilon$ $vee$ q)-fuzzy hv-ideals is an important and ...

A multi-channel system for neural signal recording/stimulation is presented. The system is split on two devices: an implantable High Voltage (HV) CMOS integrated circuit (IC) hosting a sigma delta modulator, together with a low noise preamplifier/prefilter and a digital platform for sigma delta decimation/control implemented on a FPGA. This innovative approach guarantees a robust communication ...

The structure and microhardness of Cu-Ta joints produced by explosive welding were studied. It was found that, during explosive welding, an intermediate layer 20⋯40  μ m thick with a finely dispersed heterophase structure, formed between the welded copper and tantalum plates. The structure of the layer was studied by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Microvolumes with tantalum part...

This paper deals with the hyperstructures called Hv-modules. The main tools concerning the class of Hv-modules with the ordinary modules are the fundamental relations. The fundamental relations in Hv -modules and fuzzy Hv-submodules are studied in this paper. In particular, the product structure of fuzzy sets on Hv-modules is studied.

Objective This study aims to assess head volume (HV) alterations at 11 to 14 weeks in fetuses with congenital heart defects (CHD). Methods A retrospective case-control study on 100 normal and 26 CHD fetuses was conducted. The fetuses had a first trimester scan with volume data sets stored from which HV was calculated. The mean HV and HV as a function of crown-rump length (CRL) in normal fetuses...
