OBJECTIVE To assess the impact of extrinsic factors on fine motor performance of children aged two years old. METHODS 73 children attending public and 21 private day care centers were assessed. Day care environment was evaluated using the Infant/Toddler Environment Rating Scale - Revised Edition (ITERS-R), fine motor performance was assessed through the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Dev...

This memo describes security threats for the larger (intra-domain or inter-domain) multicast routing infrastructures. Only Protocol Independent Multicast Sparse Mode (PIM-SM) is analyzed, in its three main operational modes: the traditional Any-Source Multicast (ASM) model, the source-specific multicast (SSM) model, and the ASM model enhanced by the Embedded Rendezvous Point (Embedded-RP) group...

One of the most sensitive features of sheet metal forming processes is the elastic recovery during unloading, called spring-back, which leads to some geometric changes in the product. This phenomenon will affect bend angle and bend curvature, and can be influenced by various factors. In this research, the effects of anisotropy i.e., the rolling direction of 0° , 45° & 90° of ultra low carbon st...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare performance measures after acute alcohol consumption (intoxication) with the performance the day after a normal night's drinking (hangover). METHODS Eighty-four social drinkers took part in two studies that followed a counterbalanced repeated measure design. Fifteen men and 33 women were tested the morning (09:00, 11:00 or 13:00 h) following norm...

Simple Subgoal Graphs are constructed from grids by placing subgoals at the corners of obstacles and connecting them. They are analogous to visibility graphs for continuous terrain but have fewer edges and can be used to quickly find shortest paths on grids. The vertices of a Simple Subgoal Graph can be partitioned into different levels to create N-Level Subgoal Graphs, which can be used to fin...

Propanidid due to its fast induction, early recovery and absence of cumulative action avoiding post recovery hangover is a useful agent and a better substitute for the established inducing agent, thiopentone It has all the advantages of thiopentone but lacks tbe disadvantages of the same. Its extremely short duration of action suits the short procedure of electroconvulsive therapy which gets ov...
