OBJECTIVE To determine if infrared thermography is capable of precisely detecting loss of tissue perfusion in the spleen during a partial splenectomy. METHODS Five Landrace pigs, weighing between 12 and 15 kg, after intramuscular pre-anesthetic medication and intravascular infusion anesthesia, were submitted to four sequential vascular interruption steps of the arterial vessels to the lower s...

An important part of making a wearable computer unobtrusive is the user interface and the way it interrupts the user. The amount of interruption that have to be made on the users primary task should be minimized. Usage without interruption is of course best for the performance of the primary task but is often not possible as many tasks that the wearable computer is involved in do need interacti...

A decade ago, attention management was considered by some "the least explored frontier in cognitive science and human-machine cooperation" (Woods et al., 1994). Today, at least one aspect of attention management – interruption handling – still poses a major challenge for the design of human-machine systems and computer-supported collaborative work. Successful interruption management requires th...

in this paper, reconfiguration problem of distribution network has been investigated toimprove reliability and reduce power loss by placement of renewable energy sources; i.e. solarcell and wind turbine. for this, four reliability indices are considered in objective function;which are as follows: system average interruption frequency index (saifi), system averageinterruption duration index (sai...

There has been a steady growth of research into interruption spanning two decades. The first observations indicating that interruptions appeared to be commonplace in busy clinical settings like the emergency department were soon followed by a potential link between interruptions and clinical error. We now know that the act of interruption is pervasive, perhaps universal, in clinical practice (a...

Two approaches for using explosives to interrupt current flowing in solid conductors are described. One concept uses explosives to extrude the switch conductor into thin regions that fuse due to current in the switch. A preliminary scaling law is presented. The second approach employs dieiectric jets to sever current carrying conductors. A feasibility experiment and an improved design are descr...

Biological processes such as Cellular Respiration have an intricate structure that defines the ordering amongst different steps and the participants in each step. A person who understands the process is expected to be able to reason with how the process is affected if one or more steps is interrupted. In this paper, we analyze a family of questions about process interruption, and present reason...

This paper focus to analyze interruptions among presenter, advisors, examiners, and audiences in research seminar forum. based on a study conducted 2022 at Post Graduate Program State University of Makassar, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. To collect data, the researcher recorded were obtained, transcribed, analyzed by using discourse analysis approach. Interruption analysis. The results this are st...
