-This paper describes a novel data acquisition system designed and implemented with facilities for measuring and monitoring the characteristics of a PV solar cell , module and/or system. The functioning of the equipment is based on the so-called virtual instrumentation. This is a non-conventional concept, however it does not have the many limitations in other systems. Additionally, the whole eq...

Industrial systems are becoming more and more complex and expensive to operate. Companies are making considerable efforts to increase operational efficiency and eliminate unplanned downtime of their equipment. Condition monitoring has been applied to improve equipment availability and reliability. Most of the condition monitoring applications, however, focus on single components, not on entire ...

Monitoring RF signals in a wireless environment is often required by a variety of wireless equipment operators, facility and test managers and government agencies. Signal monitoring applications can range from compliance of carrier-specific transmissions to the discovery and location of unknown or illegal transmitters. Traditional methods for signal monitoring rely on high performance spectrum ...

BACKGROUND This study investigated the effects of indexes of consciousness (IoC1 and IoC2) monitoring on remifentanil dosage. METHODS In this randomized, single-blinded, prospective study, 120 patients undergoing unilateral modified radical mastectomy were randomly assigned to the treatment group (T group, n = 60) or control group (C group, n = 60). In the T group, patients received both IoC1...

Liver transplantation with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy is associated with acute hemodynamic changes, which can exacerbate left ventricular outflow tract obstruction during surgery. Therefore, selection of general anesthetic agents is important, as most can result in hemodynamic instability by reducing systemic vascular resistance and blood pressure. We report successful anesthetic m...

In this day and age, the fear of not "waking up" from a general anesthetic has little basis in fact. Serious complications almost never occur in the absence of a preexisting medical problem. By virtue of extensive training, proper patient selection, vigilant monitoring, and judicious use anesthetic agents, the oral and maxillofacial surgeon continues to provide a very high level of anesthetic c...

We report the anesthetic management with total intravenous anesthesia of a 61-year-old male diagnosed with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy admitted for replacement of ascending aorta due to an aortic aneurysm. Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy belongs to a genetically heterogeneous group of muscular dystrophies involving shoulder and hip girdles. Although the risk of malignant hyperthermia does not...

Despite great advancements in the management of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), outcomes following SAH rupture have remained relatively unchanged. In addition, little data exists to guide the anesthetic management of intraoperative aneurysm rupture (IAR), though intraoperative management may have a significant effect on overall neurological outcomes. This review highlights the various...
