BACKGROUND AND AIMS Neonates and infants are prone to oxygen desaturation during the induction of general anaesthesia. Pharyngeal oxygen insufflation has been shown to delay the onset of desaturation and hypoxaemia during apnoea. We tested the hypothesis that deep laryngeal oxygenation with Oxiport® Miller blade would delay the onset of desaturation compared to laryngoscopy without supplemental...

We have solved the Burgers-Fisher (BF) type equations, with time-dependent coefficients of convection and reaction terms, by using the auxiliary equation method. A class of solitary wave solutions are obtained, and some of which are derived for the first time. We have studied the effect of variable coefficients on physical parameters (amplitude and velocity) of solitary wave solutions. In some ...

It is proved that the ring of invariants of the standard smooth completion of a Kac-Moody Lie algebra is functionally generated by two elements: the coefficient of the center and the Killing form.

Topics: random transition rates, random barriers, random traps, Miller-Abrahams model, diffusion coefficient, coefficient of collective diffusion, effective medium theory, site-exclusion model Abstract A survey is given on asymptotic diffusion coefficients of particles in lattices with random transition rates. Exact and approximate results for single particles are reviewed. A recent exact expre...

BACKGROUND Measurement of residual disease following neoadjuvant chemotherapy that accurately predicts long-term survival in locally advanced breast cancer (LABC) is an essential requirement for clinical trials development. Several methods to assess tumor response have been described. However, the agreement between methods and correlation with survival in independent cohorts has not been report...

In this research, using the Poisson-type Miller-Ross distribution, we introduce new subclasses Sakaguchi type of star functions with respect to symmetric and conjugate points discusses their characteristic properties coefficient estimates. Furthermore, proved that class is closed by an integral transformation. addition, pointed out some listed geometric according specializing in parameters are ...

A sample of sixty-seven pyrimidine derivatives with inhibitory activity on E. coli dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) was studied by the use of molecular descriptors family on structure-activity relationships. Starting from the results obtained by applying of MDF-SAR methodology on pyrimidine derivatives and from the assumption that the measured activity (compounds’ inhibitory activity) of a biolog...

This is the Ph.D. dissertation of the author. The project has been motivated by the conjecture that the Hopkins-Miller tmf spectrum can be described in terms of ‘spaces’ of conformal field theories. In this dissertation, spaces of field theories are constructed as classifying spaces of categories whose objects are certain types of field theories. If such a category has a symmetric monoidal stru...

We combine Lurie’s generalization of the Hopkins–Miller theorem with work of Zink–Lau on displays to give a functorial construction of even-periodic E1 ring spectra E , concentrated in chromatic layers 2 and above, associated to certain n n invertible matrices with coefficients in the Witt ring of 0.E/ . This is applied to examples related to Lubin–Tate and Johnson–Wilson spectra. We also give ...

Dearraindrop is a five-member art collective based out of Virginia Beach, VA. The aim of our work is to create environments that submerge the participant in a sea of interrelated sound and visual elements. New York. We often perform at our shows with acoustic and electronic musical instruments we have created, reinforcing the link between the visual and auditory worlds. The installation include...
