objective: this study investigated the efficacy of bupivacaine wound infusion for pain control and opioid sparing effect after cesarean delivery. materials and methods: we conducted a randomized double blind, placebo controlled clinical trial on 60 parturients undergoing cesarean section at a university hospital in tehran. patients were randomized to receive a pump infusion system that was fill...

The issue of optimal energy delivery in critical care patients is a matter of debate, and guidelines recommend to base energy prescriptions on measured energy expenditure (EE). Recently, the largest study ever (n = 1171 patients) of the relation between energy and protein delivery, measured EE, and outcome was published [1]. The authors should be commended for this contribution, particularly fo...

Mobile ad-hoc network is collection of movable node without any need of infrastructure and each node contain routing table with contain each node energy value in joule. Our basic approach to efficient utilize node energy according energy parameter like transmission power, receiving power, ideal power and sleep power etc. Energy is the scarcest resource for the operation of the mobile ad hoc net...

Benchmarking comparative building performance continues to be one of the major challenges for owners and programs seeking to improve efficiency across portfolios of buildings. EPA’s ENERGY STAR program has done much to create a systematic approach based on census data and, at this point, applied it to a significant population of US buildings. However, data entry challenges are still significant...

We introduce and evaluate a very simple landmark-based network partition technique called Hierarchical Bipartition Routing (HBR) to support greedy routing with delivery guarantee in wireless ad hoc sensor networks. The main assets of HBR are: 1) packet delivery guarantee, 2) unique virtual addressing, 3) no packet overhead in typical cases, 4) small routing tables, 5) no physical geographic coo...

We study the energy-efficient configuration of multihop paths with automatic repeat request (ARQ) mechanism in wireless ad hoc networks. We adopt a cross-layer design approach and take both the quality of each radio hop and the battery capacity of each transmitting node into consideration. Under certain constraints on the maximum tolerable transmission delay and the required packet delivery rat...
