The neuromuscular and cardiovascular activities of pancuronium were compared with those of its 16(3 monoquaternary congener, Org NC 45, in the anaesthetized rat, cat and rhesus monkey. In the rat Org NC 45 was 3.4 times less potent as a neuromuscular blocking agent than was pancuronium. In the cat, both drugs were found to be approximately equally eliminated by the liver, whereas renal eliminat...

20 request blocking probability and the expected waiting time of an accepted data request. Based on an analytic model, several results are observed: When the voice traac to a radio channel is less than 0.3 Erlang, the performance of LPER is not aaected by the voice traac, and the waiting times of the data requests can be ignored. Thus, a large number of voice channels should be shared with the ...

In cellular networks, blocking occurs when a base station has no free channel to allocate to a mobile user. One distinguishes between two kinds of blocking, the rst is called new call blocking and refers to blocking of new calls, the second is called handoo blocking and refers to blocking of ongoing calls due to the mobility of the users. In this paper, we rst provide explicit analytic expressi...

Competitive analysis is traditionallyused to bound the worst-case performance of two-phase waiting, a common algorithm in multiprocessor environments. Despite the popularity of competitive algorithms, we observe that their assumptions are not valid in closed systems in which processes can influence their future waiting times. By evaluating implicit coscheduling on time-shared, communicating pro...

Artery-to-muscle (A-M) onset time for five neuromuscular blocking agents was studied in 50 female patients under light endotracheal anaesthesia. Circulation to the right arm was occluded by a tourniquet and released 1 min after the injection i.v. into the left arm of a myoneural blocking drug. Muscle twitches were recorded in the right hand after stimulation of the ulnar nerve (1 Hz). After rel...

The dielectric permittivity, conductivity and loss tangent of water were measured with non-blocking electrodes for different thicknesses of the sample and for various oscillator levels. The measurements were carried out in the 20-90°C temperature range with the 10°C interval. Domain Debye resonances in water, as well as changes in dielectric constants, relaxation times and conductivity with tem...

4 this paper we deal with a two-station tandem queueing system incorporating a finite intermediate buffer between the stations. Blocking occurs when a customer is momentarily stopped at the fu-st station owing to a capacity limitation of the second station having been reached. We assume general input and exponentially distributed service times. We observe that it is possible to calculate the co...

This paper analyses the schedulability of realtime systems with uncertain knowledge. Fuzzy numbers are used to model parameters describing tasks, providing information about observation of the tasks deadlines at early phases of development. In this paper fuzzy schedulability and a fuzzy optimality criteria are defined and the fuzzy optimality of Deadline Monotonic Scheduling algorithm is proved...

It is shown that three-dimensional Dirac semimetals are promising candidates for highly efficient optical-to-terahertz conversion due to their extreme optical nonlinearities. In particular, it predicted the efficiency of Cd 3 As 2 $\text{Cd}_{\text{3}}\text{As}_{\text{2}}$ exceeds typical materials like LiNbO $\text{LiNbO}_{\text{3}}$ by >5000 times over nanoscale propagation distances.
