Objective-To compare the anaesthetic properties of conventional intradermal 1% plain lignocaine with a topical gel preparation of adrenaline (1:2000) and cocaine (4-7%) for use in treatment of children's lacerations. Methods-Children aged 3-16 years with lacerations (not of the digits or mucous membranes) were consecutively assigned to receive either adrenaline and cocaine (AC) or lignocaine. P...

scanning impedance microscopy (sim) is one of the novel scanning probe microscopy (spm) techniques, which has been developed to taking image from sample surface, providing quantitative information with high lateral resolution on the interface capacitance, and investigating the local capacitance–voltage (c–v) behavior of the interface and ac transport properties. the sim is an ordinary afm equip...

This paper proposes a Flexible Power Electronic Transformer (FPET) for the application in the micro-grids. The low frequency transformer is usually used at the Point of Common Coupling (PCC) to connect the low voltage grid and utility network to each other. The conventional 50Hz transformer results in enhanced low voltage-grid power management system during grid-connected operation. In this pap...

forest management as one of the important source of production is crucial and critical. in taking over the forest resources as one of the most important of natural resources in the world, it is essential to consider local stakeholders to implement forest action plan for forest co-management. therefore, this study aims at achieving to proper management of forests based on evaluating the stakehol...

In [1, 2], Bessière and Cordier said that the AC-6 arc-consistency algorithm is optimal in time on constraint networks where nothing is known about the constraint semantics. However, in constraint networks, it is always assumed that constraints are symmetric. None of the previous algorithms achieving arc-consistency (AC-3 [5, 6], AC-4 [7], AC-6) use this property. We propose here an improved ve...

This paper concerns the specialization of arcconsistency algorithms for constraint satisfaction in the management of quantitative temporal constraint networks. Attention is devoted to the design of algorithms that support an incremental style of building solutions allowing both constraint posting and constraint retraction. In particular, the AC-3 algorithm for constraint propagation, customized...

INTRODUCTION Adhesive capsulitis (AC) of the shoulder presents with an insidious onset of pain and progressive limitation of shoulder movement. OBJECTIVES To investigate whether intra-articular hyaluronic acid (HA) administration alone is superior to conventional therapies and whether the addition of intra-articular HA administration to conventional therapies improves clinical outcomes in pat...

In this paper, we present in detail the versions of the arc consistency algorithms for binary constraints based on list of supports and last value when they are maintained during the search for solutions. In other words, we give the explicit codes of MAC-6 and MAC-7 algorithms. Moreover, we present an original way to restore the last values of AC-6 and AC-7 algorithms in order to obtain a MAC v...

The zero-forcing (ZF) and minimum mean square error (MMSE) based detectors can approach optimal performance in the uplink of massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. However, they require inverting a matrix whose complexity is cubic relation to dimension. This lead high computational effort, especially MIMO To mitigate this, several iterative methods have been proposed literature....
