Purpose This study assessed whether gabapentin given preoperatively and for two days postoperatively (in addition to patient-controlled analgesia [PCA] morphine, acetaminophen, and ketorolac) is effective in reducing morphine requirements and moderating pain scores when compared with placebo for primary total knee arthroplasty. Methods This single-centre double-blind randomized controlled trial...

This paper discusses control design issues for the existing thyristor controlled series compensation (TCSC) device at Slatt substation on the Slatt–Buckley 500-kV transmission line owned by BPA. The controls were developed at Washington State University (WSU) in a project funded by Bonneville Power Administration (BPA). The project has been carried out in close collaboration between the WSU tea...

The intermediate polar RX J1712.6-2414, discovered by Buckley et al. (1995), turned out to have a phasedependent circular polarization of up to −5% in the Ic band, the largest value observed in any intermediate polar. By comparing the slope of the observed polarized flux with theoretical models, Buckley et al. (1995) obtained an estimate of 8 MG for the magnetic field strength. In this fit, onl...

In this paper we give sufficient condition for the Buckley-Feuring solution to exist by the variation iteration method are used for find the exact fuzzy solution of the fuzzy wave-like equation in one and two dimensions with variable coefficients and fuzzy parameters. Some examples are given to show the reliability and the efficiency of the sufficient condition..

Introduction In the past several years there has been a progressive increase in the number of hyperkinetic children seen in American schools. This disorder is much more common in children in the United States than in Scandinavian countries. It is proposed that the reason for the marked difference in frequency can be partly accounted for by the extensive use of food dyes and additives in "quick ...

The Voorhees/Buckley swap method is useful for comparing the discrimination power of Information Retrieval (IR) and Question Answering (QA) metrics. Given a test collection, a set of runs and an evaluation metric, it derives the swap rate, the chance of observing inconsistencies when two completely different topic sets are used for comparing a pair of runs. Recently, however, Sanderson and Zobe...
