There is a rapidly growing trend towards the use of Complementary and Alternative Medical practices in Diabetes. Sri Lanka is a developing Asian nation with a rich culture of Ayurvedic and native medical culture. The objective of t...

Insulation breakdown of dry-type valve-side bushing cores under electrothermal compound stress has become a key factor limiting the safe and stable operation converter transformer. Based on slices real core, it is observed for first time that fold, peeling off, fracture defects exist near aluminium (Al) foil edge, accompanied by many metal spikes with curvature radius <4 μm. Coupled capacitor s...

BACKGROUND Spinal blockade provides excellent anesthesia for patients undergoing cesarean section. However, hypotension after spinal anesthesia is a common adverse effect that is commonly experienced in patients undergoing cesarean section. The aim of our study was to analyze if a simple technique like leg wrapping with elastic crepe bandage would be effective in controlling postspinal hypotens...

The research of the present paper relates a contribution to the application of graph theory in fabric design. Instead of choosing random samples we prefer here to develop a combinatorial approach which simulates chaos, relying on a Hamiltonian circuit algorithm applied to state transition graph. The theorem and corollary concerning the Hamiltonian method for the moss-crepe 6 shafts are presente...
