materials and methods in a double blind randomized trial study, 100 patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery were randomized to using heparinized (n = 50) or non-heparinized (normal) saline flush (n = 50) to maintain patency of arterial catheter after operation. indwelling arterial catheters were checked daily for acceptable arterial waveform for three days as primary outcome measures. resu...

we derive the formulas of the maximal andminimal ranks of four real matrices $x_{1},x_{2},x_{3}$ and $x_{4}$in common solution $x=x_{1}+x_{2}i+x_{3}j+x_{4}k$ to quaternionmatrix equations $a_{1}x=c_{1},xb_{2}=c_{2},a_{3}xb_{3}=c_{3}$. asapplications, we establish necessary and sufficient conditions forthe existence of the common real and complex solutions to the matrixequations. we give the exp...

in this paper, we obtained the 1-soliton solutions of the symmetric regularized long wave (srlw) equation and the (3+1)-dimensional shallow water wave equations. solitary wave ansatz method is used to carry out the integration of the equations and obtain topological soliton solutions the physical parameters in the soliton solutions are obtained as functions of the dependent coefficients. note t...

in this paper, an adaptive physics-based method is developed for solving wave motion problems in one dimension (i.e., wave propagation in strings, rods and beams). the solution of the problem includes two main parts. in the first part, after discretization of the domain, a physics-based method is developed considering the conservation of mass and the balance of momentum. in the second part, ada...

One hundred and seventy-four consecutive patients with symptoms of derangement of the knee were examined with an arthroscope under local anaesthesia using a continuous pressure-irrigation system. A 0.2 per cent prilocaine-saline solution was used as irrigation fluid. In the first 19 patients the serum level of prilocaine was monitored for six hours after the start of irrigation. Eighteen of the...

agal2o3 nanocomposite were synthesized by solution combustion technique using ammonium carbonate as a new fuel under simultaneous combustion of alumina and silver particles condition. samples prepared with different amount of silver, were characterized by xrd, bet, sem and optical absorption measurements. xrd analysis was used to determine the change in phase and size of the synthesized nanopar...

this paper, largely motivated by hoey (2001), revisits the issue of written discourse analysis and, in particular, the problem-solution pattern. much discussion embarrasses the way in which texts are pro-duced and understood. the different functional approaches include halliday and hasan’s approach, van dijk’s process-oriented approach, the procedural approach of de beaugrande and dressler, and...
