Introduction: there is no consensus on the ideal anesthesia for hemorrhoidectomy in ambulatory facilities. spinal anesthesia and venous propofol associated with local perianal block (combined anesthesia) are frequently used, and their direct costs may be crucial for the anesthesia type selection. the objective of this study was to compare the direct costs of anesthesia-related materials in hemo...

This document describes a protocol providing Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) as a new transport for Remote Procedure Call (RPC). The RDMA transport binding conveys the benefits of efficient, bulkdata transport over high-speed networks, while providing for minimal change to RPC applications and with no required revision of the application RPC protocol, or the RPC protocol itself.

Overhead due to the movement of user data in the end-system network I/O processing path at high speeds is significant, and has limited the use of Internet protocols in interconnection networks, and the Internet itself -especially where high bandwidth, low latency, and/or low overhead are required by the hosted application. This document examines this overhead, and addresses an architectural, IP...

A pilot study to evaluate the direct cost of treating 51 adults and 50 children with bronchial asthma was conducted. All aspects of the medical care provided over a 6-month period were considered. The mean treatment costs per month were US dollars 22.97 (adults) and US dollars 15.56 (children). The cost of maintenance therapy accounted for 55.5% and 73.4% of the total direct cost treatment for ...

Thanks to direct access to union databanks, this paper can answer two new questions in Industrial Relations: how long union membership lasts and what are the determinants of its duration. This also allows to conceptualize union membership as a much more dynamic phenomenon than in previous studies, where it was considered a static situation whose causes or e¤ects were to be investigated. Surviva...

I consider spherically symmetric scalar waves of two types: explosive waves in an infinite medium generated by a spherically symmetric source, and implosive waves in which the medium is contained inside a spherically symmetric source. The explosive waves travel outward, the implosive waves inward. Although there are exceptional cases, in general there are, at any time, shells in which the energ...

Internet banking is booming in Jordan and it is time for banks and customers to reap the benefits from such technology. Bank customers’ propensity to use internet banking is dependent on their attitudes towards such technology. This work validates an Arabic technology acceptance instrument through a rigorous process so that banks can better understand the factors that affect the customer’s inte...
