• BACKGROUND Many benefits and adverse effects of positioning are related to changes in ventilation and perfusion. A number of unique factors related to the allograft make the effects of positioning difficult to determine in single-lung transplant recipients. • OBJECTIVES To determine the effect of 3 body positions (supine, lateral with allograft lung down, and lateral with native lung down) on...

Abstract The article presents the technical and organizational assumptions of RFID implementation in selected elements supply chains, especially warehouses, transhipment, terminal facilities. A method quantifying technology has been proposed. On this basis, structure a mathematical model was submitted to evaluate performance indicators solutions logistics

OBJECTIVE To develop recommendations for positioning the second-generation pacing esophageal stethoscope for transesophageal atrial pacing in patients positioned prone (P), right lateral decubitus (RLD), and left lateral decubitus (LLD). DESIGN Prospective; patients assigned consecutively. SETTING Tertiary and university hospitals. PARTICIPANTS Thirty (10 in each position group) adult pat...

This paper provides a comprehensive literature review of mathematical models in cross docking planning. From the reviews, the models are classified in three different levels regarding its decisions level which are operational, tactical, and strategic level. The researches in operational level are mainly related to develop model in scheduling, dock door assignment, transhipment problem, vehicle ...

In this paper, a novel template matching algorithm named radial ring code histograms(RRCH) for multi-objects positioning is proposed. It is invariant to translation, rotation and illumination changes. To improve the identification ability of multi objects with different rotation angles, radial gradient codes using relative angle between gradient direction and position vector is proposed. Adjust...

According to the structural model of prefrontal cortex, the pattern of corticocortical connections is intricately linked to cortical architecture (Cereb. Cortex 7 (1997) 635). We further explored this model by using quantitative methods to describe the structure and connections of prefrontal cortices. Multi-parameter analyses distinguished di2erent cortical types, positioning at one extreme med...
