This study was conducted to establish the values for optimal fixed scan delays and diagnostic scan delays associated with the bolus-tracking technique using various contrast material injection durations in canine abdominal multi-phase computed tomography (CT). This study consisted of two experiments employing the crossover method. In experiment 1, three dynamic scans at the porta hepatis were p...

In increasing the supply of food in residential areas, it is necessary to encourage use land and water sources yard even though area limited. The design multilevel drip irrigation may be an option these housings, therefore test determine ability discharge, uniformity soil moisture produced. This study aims effect using inch PVC pipe as a secondary network on (CU) (w) system. Experiments were ca...

The underlying defects in ADHD (Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) are not yet clear. The current paper tests three existing theories: State Regulation, Cognitive Deficit, and Temporal Difference (TD) learning. We present computational simulations of the Matching Familiar Figures Task and compare these with the experimental results reported by Sonuga-Barke (2002). The TD model contains f...

We analyzed the IRIS broad-band seismograms for the June 9, 1994, Bolivia earthquake, the largest deep-focus earthquake ever recorded. We inverted the record sections with a duration of 330 sec which include P, pP and sP phases, and obtained a dip-slip mechanism: (dip(fi), rake()0, strike(•)) = (13 ø, 4 ø, 1 ø) or (89 ø, -103ø, ' 95ø), with a scalar moment of Mo--2.9x1021 Nm (Mw-8.2). This mech...

The objectives of our study were to investigate the dose-response relationship of the TASER X26 discharge duration in an anesthetized swine model. Fourteen swines were anesthetized and then exposed to TASER X26 discharge for 5 sec (n = 5) or for 10 sec (n = 6). The sham control group (n = 3) was anesthetized and studied using the same protocol except TASER X26 discharges during the experiments....

Introduction: The aim of this study was to in-vestigate the effect of irradiation duration and distance of light tip to prepared samples in two different light curing unites on the degree of conversion of resin composite. Materials and Methods: Conventional halogen and blue Light emitting diode (LED) units were used for polymerization of an Opalis resin com-posite. The conversion measurements w...

Arterial peak enhancement on contrast-enhanced CT (CECT) images is thought to be higher in patients with low cardiac function. Using computer simulations, we tested the hypothesis that the relationship between the cardiac index and the aortic peak CT number (PCTN) is affected by the contrast material (CM) injection duration. We created computer simulation software for the contrast enhancement o...

The influence of the level of experience of the laryngoscopist on the duration of laryngoscopy, the forces exerted on the tongue and on the maxillary incisors during laryngoscopy, were investigated. Five groups (anaesthetists, residents in anaesthesia, nurse anaesthetists, surgeons and medical students), each consisting of 15 individuals, participated in the study. An intubation manikin was use...

The present study was conducted to obtain electrocardiographic data regarding the values of ST-segment morphology and duration from 84 apparently healthy Holstein cattle in fourteen different age groups from newborn to 7 years old. We recorded electrocardiograms in standard base apex lead system with the paper speed 25 mm/sec. and calibration of 10 mm equal to 1 mV. The morphologic assessments ...
