conclusions our study found that maximum serum glucose concentration positively correlated with the duration of mechanical ventilation, length of stay, and mortality. background the purpose of this study is to determine the frequency of hyperglycemia in nondiabetic critically ill children and to investigate its relationship with mechanical ventilation, length of stay and mortality. methods in t...

Abstract An open channel flume with a central 180-degree bend rigid bed is designed to obtain better understanding of the complex flow pattern around T-shaped spur dike located in sharp bend. The 3-dimensional velocities are measured by using an acoustic Doppler velocimetry under clear-water conditions. This study’s primary objective compare variations mean along variety lengths. In order do so...

It was recently argued that the geometric optics mean path length of rays inside a refractive object under Lambertian illumination is independent scattering strength medium [Savo et al., Science 358, 765 (2017)]. We here show it is, in fact, different case zero scattering. uncover and explain role trapped ray trajectories creating this unexpected discontinuity from to low This allows us derive ...

Let P(t) denote an infinitely long right triangular prism whose base is an equilateral triangle of edge length t. Let F (t) be the family of those subsets of P(t) that are congruent to a regular tetrahedron of unit edge. We present complete classification of the members of F (t) modulo rigid motions within the prism P(t), for every t > 0.

introduction: the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of bridge orientation in casting machine on castability and quality of base metal castings. methods: three groups of patterns with different direction and lengths in casting machine were casted and then studied qualitatively and quantitatively using mean and standard deviation in table of frequency. results: larger nodules and poros...

Starting from a string with a length equal to the electron mean free path and having a unit cell equal to the Compton length of the electron, we construct a Schwarzschild-like metric. We found that this metric has a surface horizon equal to that of the electron mean free path and its Bekenstein-like entropy is proportional to the number of squared unit cells contained in this spherical surface....
