BACKGROUND This article highlights the epidemiology of road traffic injury (RTI) in Lithuania between 1998 and 2007. The purpose of this study is to explore the incidence of RTI, age-standardized mortality rates (ASMR), gender-specific rates and the RTI profile of different user groups. In doing so, this analysis attempts to emphasize the need for RTI prevention policies and programmes. METHO...

Under High Level Architecture (HLA), distributed simulation services are provided by middleware known as the Run-Time Infrastructure (RTI). Existing RTI implementations, despite being similar in function and performance, do not interoperate with one another as they each use a different proprietary wire protocol. Organisations must therefore agree to use the same RTI implementation when particip...

The HLA-RTI provides U generul-purpose network communication mechunism for Distributed Virtuul Environments (DVE), but it does not support streum trunsmission und control directly. This puper illustrutes U presentutionul uudio-video continuous-mediu retrievul upplicution over RTI, which is un extension to our previous puper "un upprouch for streum trunsmission over HLA-RTI in Distributed Virtuu...

The effect of ablation on the nonlinear spike growth single-mode ablative Rayleigh–Taylor instability (RTI) is studied by two-dimensional numerical simulations. It shown that can reduce quasi-constant velocity and significantly suppress reacceleration in phase. also affect ablation-generated vorticity inside bubble, which further affects bubble acceleration. evolution found to be correlated wit...

The behavioral effects of 3beta-(4-chlorophenyl)tropane-2beta-carboxylic acid phenyl ester hydrochloride (RTI-113; 0.03-1.0 mg/kg), a selective dopamine uptake inhibitor, were compared with those of cocaine (0.03-3.0 mg/kg) and 1-(2-[bis(4-fluorophenyl)methoxy]ethyl)-4-(3-phenylpropyl)piperazine dihydrochloride (GBR 12909; 0.03-3.0 mg/kg) in squirrel monkeys. Intermediate doses of each drug pro...

BACKGROUND Premedication with beta-2 agonists (e.g. salbutamol) is effective in preventing increases in total respiratory resistance and in decreasing the incidence of perioperative bronchospasm in asthmatic children. Because children with recent respiratory tract infection (RTI) exhibit bronchial hyperreactivity similar to that observed in asthmatic children, the use of salbutamol in children ...

We determined how postnatal maturation affects the relative contributions of airways and lung parenchyma to pulmonary resistance (RL) and whether there are developmental differences in their respective responses to constrictive agents. We studied open-chest ventilated anesthetized piglets of three ages: 2-4 days, 2-3 wk, and 10 wk. RL as partitioned into tissue (Rti) and airway (Raw) resistance...

To link environmental factors with prevalence of RTI/STD symptoms among women in the urban slums of Dhaka, Bangladesh and also to investigate if there are differences in levels of RTI/STD prevalence among the slums. Fourteen slums from Dhaka city were the secondary units for this study, households were selected according to systematic sampling. One woman from each selected household was intervi...
