background: intramuscular injection is one of the effective methods of drug administration. yet the procedure is painful and avoided if at all possible. this study examines the effectiveness of simultaneous rhythmic breathing and z – track method in prone position with foot internal rotation on reducing the pain of intramuscular injection. methods: this quasi experimental (before and after) stu...

the purpose of this quasi-experimental study was to examine the effect of the Z-track intramuscular injection technique on severity of pain,bruises and drug leakage at the injection site.the subjects of the study were 60 adult medical-surgical patients at Kerman university of medical sciences hospitals.subjects served as their own controls by receiving both z-track and standard  intramuscular i...

BACKGROUND Early rapid weight gain is associated with later overweight, which implies that weight centile crossing tracks over time. OBJECTIVE Centile crossing is defined in terms of the change or deviation in weight z score during 1 mo, and the correlations between successive deviations are explored at different ages. DESIGN Two Cambridge (United Kingdom) growth cohorts were used: Widdowso...

We present the concept of a track trigger for the Belle II experiment, based on a neural network approach, that is able to reconstruct the z (longitudinal) position of the event vertex within the latency of the first level trigger. The trigger will thus be able to suppress a large fraction of the dominating background from events outside of the interaction region. The trigger uses the drift tim...

current practices in railway track analysis and design are reviewed and discussed in this paper. the mechanical behavior of railway track structure comprising of various components has not been fully understood due to the railway track structural complexity. although there have been some improvements in the accuracy of current track design methods in recent decades, there are still considerable...

This paper is devoted to the method developed in Ref. [1] for 3D reconstruction of the straight tracks in the tracking system consisting of the drift-chamber stereo layers. The method is based on the Hough-transform approach [2] – the discrete case of more general Radon transform [3] – and takes into account both coordinates of the hit wires and drift distances not only for the measurements in ...
