PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of infiltration and intrasulcular injection, delivered by a computerized delivery system (CDS), to primary maxillary molars. METHODS The study population consisted of 178 children (2-14 years old) who received local infiltration (buccal and palatal) or intrasulcular injection to primary maxillary molars with the use of a CDS. ...

White dwarf spectroscopy shows that nearly half of white atmospheres contain metals must have been accreted from planetary material survived the red giant phases stellar evolution. We can use metal pollution in as flags, signalling recent accretion, order to prioritize an efficient sample dwarfs search for transiting material. present a planetesimals orbiting six nearby with CHaracterising ExOP...

ABSTRACT We present 17 transit light curves of seven known warm-Jupiters observed with the CHaracterising ExOPlanet Satellite (CHEOPS). The have been collected as part CHEOPS Guaranteed Time Observation (GTO) program that searches for transit-timing variation (TTV) induced by a possible external perturber to shed on evolution path such planetary systems. describe observation process, from plann...

BACKGROUND Tonsillectomy is one of the most common surgeries in children and posttonsillectomy pain and agitation management is a great challenge for anesthesiologists. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of a single dose of ketamine combined with paracetamol with paracetamol alone in the management of postoperative pain in tonsillectomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS In th...

Dynamic adaptability of operating systems becomes more and more important, to be able to deal with new requirements, without the necessity of recompiling and rebooting the whole system. In the eld of software development the object-oriented paradigm has been widly accepted as powerful method to achieve adaptability. This paper presents a novel approach to achieve ne-grained, dynamic adaptabilit...

The paper presents an approach for semi-empirical (hybrid) modelling of partially unknown processes. Using the integration platform CHEOPS it is possible to integrate process unit models from different modelling tools. The method is applied to the case of an ethylene glycol process model, incorporating known unit models from general purpose modelling tools and a structured hybrid model from the...

OBJECTIVES The aim of the present study was to compare the analgesic effects of ripovacaine when used as high concentration/small volume, versus its use as high volume/low concentration, in ilioinguinal-iliohypogastric nerve block in children. METHODS This is a prospective single-blind randomized study consisting of 72 children ASA I & II, 3-9 years of age, scheduled for outpatient elective s...
