BACKGROUND Anesthesia machines have been developed by the application of new technology for rapid and easier control of anesthetic concentration. In this study, we used a test lung to investigate whether the time taken to reach the target sevoflurane concentration varies with the rate of fresh gas flow (FGF) and type of anesthesia machine (AM). METHODS We measured the times taken to reach the...

Abstract The H1 and ZEUS published PDF analyses are compared, including a discussion of the different treatments of correlated systematic uncertainties. Differences in the data sets and the analyses are investigated by putting the H1 data set through both PDF analyses and by putting the ZEUS and H1 data sets through the same (ZEUS) analysis, separately. Finally, the HERA averaged data set is pu...

There is an emerging consensus on the need to develop methodologies and tool-kits for building distributed multi-agent systems. This paper presents ZEUS, an advanced development tool-kit for constructing collaborative agent applications. ZEUS is a culmination of a careful synthesis of established agent technologies with the addition of some new ones, to provide an integrated environment for the...
