There is increased trend of binge watching on the Internet Television Network (ITN) among youth has gained notable scholarly interest in studying this new concept. Limited studies, however, have focused effects youth. With its theoretical foundations Uses and gratifications theory Model antecedents consequences Binge Watching, our study was an attempt to fill gap. The major objectives included ...

BACKGROUND Resistive load applied to the airways may induce diaphragmatic fatigue, and hypoxaemia has been shown to predispose to the development of fatigue. Inspiratory muscle fatigue may occur in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS), as these patients repetitively develop both inspiratory loading and hypoxaemia. The results of previous studies on this topic are inconclusive,...

Tuber formation in potato (Solanum tuberosum) is promoted by short photoperiods and is inhibited by gibberellins (GAs). Endogenous levels of GA1 were shown to decrease in stolons and leaves of potato plants induced to tuberize, which suggests that photoperiodic regulation of GA biosynthesis may play a role in tuber induction. We report the isolation of three potato cDNA clones (StGA20ox1-3) enc...

OBJECTIVE To perform a quantitative analysis of the background noise at Congonhas Airport surroundings based on large sampling and measurements with no interruption. METHODS Measuring sites were chosen from 62 and 72 DNL (day-night-level) noise contours, in urban sites compatible with residential use. Fifteen sites were monitored for at least 168 hours without interruption or seven consecutiv...

Although night sweating is a common outpatient complaint medical, literature on this subject is scarce. Tuberculosis, brucellosis and lymphoma are diseases in which night sweating is a dominant symptom, but these are infrequently found to be the cause of night sweats in modern practice. While these diseases remain important diagnostic considerations in patients with night sweats, other diagnosi...

in this context, a novel structure has been proposed for simple differential evolutionary (de) algorithm to solve optimal recloser placement. for this, an operator is added to de algorithm to adapt concept of the problem. other contribution of this work is formulating a novel objective function. the proposed objective function has been formulated to improve four reliability indices which consis...

BACKGROUND In the intensive care unit (ICU), analgesia and sedation are used to improve the comfort and safety of patients undergoing intensive care therapies. However, continuous administration of sedatives prolongs the time on mechanical ventilation and ICU stay. These adverse effects can be reduced by clear definition of the goals of sedation combined with a sedation protocol. METHODS The ...
