Background: Oral feeding problems are among the most common issues in preterm infants. Various methods and feeding support tools are used in this regard, such as cup feeding and feeding nozzle. The present study aimed to determine the preferred method between cup feeding and feeding nozzle to support oral feeding in premature neonates. Methods: This clinical trial was conducted on 70 preterm i...

In this paper we determine the ring structure of the Hochschild cohomology of truncated quiver algebras with the Yoneda product. On the one hand Locateli described the cohomology groups in terms of classes of pairs of paths using minimal resolutions. On the other hand, the Yoneda product has a nice description on the bar resolution as the usual cup product. Our first main result is the explicit...

Horn recursion is a term used to describe when non-vanishing products of Schubert classes in the cohomology of flag varieties G/P are characterized by inequalities parameterized by similar non-vanishing products in the cohomology of “smaller” flag varieties. We consider the partial flag variety SLn/P and find that H ∗(SLn/P ) exhibits Horn recursion on a certain deformation of the cup product. ...

We study the ideals of the rational cohomology ring of the Hilbert scheme X [n] of n points on a smooth projective surface X . As an application, for a large class of smooth quasi-projective surfaces X , we show that every cup product structure constant of H∗(X ) is independent of n; moreover, we obtain two sets of ring generators for the cohomology ring H∗(X ). Similar results are established ...

Whether drinking from a cup versus through straw effects sensory perception is inconclusive, as whether such differences hold across and within multiple sips. This study aimed to determine if product profiles discrimination varied depending on was sipped or straw. An expert panel (n = 9) investigated in temporal of six milkshakes sipping methods. Temporal eight attributes analyzed selected time...

Clinistix is generally coiisidered to be specific for detection aiid rough quanti-tation of glucose in urine. The first reaction, being enzymatic. ittay be assumed to be specific. The second reaction-normally, oxidation of the chromogen by the product of enzyme action on glucose-may also be produced directly by hypo-chlorite (1), fumes of nitric acid (2), or other oxidizing agents acting on the...

BACKGROUND In low-income settings, many women and girls face activity restrictions during menses, owing to lack of affordable menstrual products. The menstrual cup (MC) is a nonabsorbent reusable cup that collects menstrual blood. We assessed the acceptability and performance of the MPower® MC compared to pads or tampons among women in a low-resource setting. METHODS We conducted a randomized...

This paper presents an approach to Computer-Aided Design that unites ideas from design with 3D layouts and knowledge engineering. Our goal is to capture the structure, behavior and function of CAD artifacts. We describe a software tool based on this approach, the Conceptual Understanding and Prototyping (CUP) environment, for capturing the design intent inherent in the design process and author...

We use rewriting systems to spell out cup-products in the (twisted) cohomology groups of a product surface groups. This allows us detect non-trivial obstruction bounding from below effective topological complexity an orientable with respect its antipodal involution. Our estimates are at most one unit being optimal, and closely related (regular) non-orientable surfaces.
