BACKGROUND Skin conductance (SC) as a measure of emotional state or arousal may be a tool for monitoring surgical stress in anaesthesia. When an outgoing sympathetic nervous burst occurs to the skin, the palmar and plantar sweat glands are filled up, and the SC increases before the sweat is removed and the SC decreases. This creates a SC fluctuation. The purpose of this study was to measure SC ...

BUMC PROCEEDINGS 2002;15:86–90 CASE PRESENTATION LINDA S. BANG, MD: A 41-year-old African American woman with sickle cell disease presented to the Baylor University Medical Center emergency department with dyspnea and dry cough for 3 weeks and back, leg, and chest pain for 2 to 3 days. The hemoglobin SC disease had been first diagnosed during pregnancy. Pleural tuberculosis with a left-sided ef...

This paper describes an ongoing research, SpaceCustomiser : InterActive, [SC : IA] which deals with development of digital design strategies based on non-Euclidean geometries, whereas the body in movement generates interactively architectural SPACE. The input – movement – is being electronically processed in such a way that the output represents a continuous, real-time modification of the space...

BACKGROUND Recently, significant interest in (44)Sc as a tracer for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging has been observed. Unfortunately, the co-emission by (44)Sc of high-energy γ rays (E γ = 1157, 1499 keV) causes a dangerous increase of the radiation dose to the patients and clinical staff. However, it is possible to produce another radionuclide of scandium-(43)Sc-having properties si...

Two cable logging systems were reviewed to compare the efficiency of potential biomass extraction from remote forest sites in Ireland based on productive machine hour (PMH) and unit cost of operation (€/m). Three operational scenarios (SC) were analysed where SC I was a three man crew operation (choker setter, the carriage operator and unhooking chokers). SC II was a variation of this with a tw...

PURPOSE Measurements of human Schlemm's canal (SC) have been limited to histologic sections. The purpose of this study was to demonstrate noninvasive measurements of aqueous outflow (AO) structures in the human eye, examining regional variation in cross-sectional SC areas (on/off collector channel [CC] ostia [SC/CC] and nasal/temporal) in the eyes of living humans. METHODS SC was imaged by sp...

A novel flat capillary pump was designed to solve the problem of heat leakage from evaporator accumulator in pumps. The materials used obtain porous wick and main shell were silicon nitride low-thermal conductivity titanium alloy, respectively. size resulting 82.0 mm × 53.0 16.0 mm, eight cylindrical wicks arranged inside pump. pore size, porosity, 0.5 µm...

We represent the design details of a 4-m long undulator in cryostat having a period ~12mm and aperture ~6.35 mm allowing K~1.0. This undulator can be used in ILC positron conversion system as well as the insertion device for developing FEL systems.

The goal of this research is to improve the linearity of integrated oscillator based on switched-capacitor band-pass filter with a low Q-factor in order to achieve a feasible integration. With the minimum addition control digital control circuit, high linearity can be achieved by suppressing 3rd harmonic which requires high Q of filter in traditional way. Description. The aim of this research i...

The TAGE predictor [12] is considered as one of the most storage effective global branch/path history predictors. It has been shown that associated with small adjunct predictors like a statistical corrector (SC for short) and/or a loop predictor (L for short) [11, 10], TAGE can even be more effective. In this study, we explore the performance limits of these TAGE-SC-L predictors for respectivel...
