introduction: controversy remains as to the advantages and disadvantages of pharyngeal packing during septorhinoplasty. our study investigated the effect of pharyngeal packing on postoperative nausea and vomiting and sore throat following this type of surgery or septorhinoplasty.   materials and methods: this clinical trial was performed on 90 american society of anesthesiologists (asa) i or ii...

Cases of bioinvasion in Brazil and abroad have been causing serious environmental economic problems great order. such as the golden mussel, zebra North Pacific star, among others, caused fishing activity, industry, cases clogging coolers maintenance hydroelectric turbines. The cholera epidemic took place a long time ago, this was also due to transport ballast between continents. Onshore water t...

One-pot reaction of aldehydes or ketons with aniline derivatives was performed using NaBH4 and Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs). The optimum amount of Fe3O4 MNPs was 5 mol% under solvent free condition. The corresponding products were obtained in good to excellent yields. The magnetically recoverable iron oxide nanoparticles are found to be efficient for synthesis of amine derivatives. These...

The design, simulation, fabrication, and measurement of two structures of metamaterial absorbers (MA) is investigated at microwave frequency in this paper. By stacking of one layer structure on the top of each other, a two-layered structure is generated. The unit cell at each layer consisting of two sets of various circular and square patches are designed so that the structure exhibit quad band...

to date, a number of numerical methods, including the popular finite-difference time domain (fdtd) technique, have been proposed to simulate ground-penetrating radar (gpr) responses. despite having a number of advantages, the finite-difference method also has pitfalls such as being very time consuming in simulating the most common case of media with high dielectric permittivity, causing the for...

In this article, we first review the vector quantiser and discuss its well-known advantages over the scalar quantiser, namely the space-filling advantage, the shape advantage, and the memory advantage. It is important to understand why vector quantisers always perform better than any other quantisation scheme for a given dimension, as this will provide the basis for our investigation on improvi...
