Sugammadex, the first selective relaxant-binding agent indicated to reverse the neuromuscular blockade induced during general anesthesia, was recently introduced into clinical practice. In the present report, the following issues pertinent to the use of sugammadex in anesthesia practice are discussed: the intraoperative use of NMBAs and the incidence of postoperative residual curarization (PORC...

let $e$ be an elliptic curve over $bbb{q}$ with the given weierstrass equation $ y^2=x^3+ax+b$. if $d$ is a squarefree integer, then let $e^{(d)}$ denote the $d$-quadratic twist of $e$ that is given by $e^{(d)}: y^2=x^3+ad^2x+bd^3$. let $e^{(d)}(bbb{q})$ be the group of $bbb{q}$-rational points of $e^{(d)}$. it is conjectured by j. silverman that there are infinitely many primes $p$ for which $...

In this paper, we give a new and direct proof for the recently proved conjecture raised in Soltani and Roozegar (2012). The conjecture can be proved in a few lines via the integral representation of the Gauss-hypergeometric function unlike the long proof in Roozegar and Soltani (2013).

Site U1318 (Proposal Site PORC-2A) is located in on the eastern slope of the Porcupine Seabight on the southwest continental margin of Ireland and is upslope from the Belgica Mound Province, including Challenger Mound. The principal objective at Site U1318 was to recover the sediments from the three seismic units (P1-3) of the southern Belgica mound province. Complete data from the seismically ...

we investigate the classical h.~zassenhaus conjecture‎ ‎for integral group rings of alternating groups $a_9$ and $a_{10}$ of degree‎ ‎$9$ and $10$‎, ‎respectively‎. ‎as a consequence of our‎ ‎previous results we confirm the prime graph‎ ‎conjecture for integral group rings of $a_n$ for all $n leq 10$‎.

Le zinc et le cuivre sont des éléments-traces métalliques (ÉTM) qui peuvent présenter à plus ou moins long terme un risque environnemental pour les sols agricoles sur lesquels valorisées déjections porcines. Ces ÉTM essentiels la croissance santé porcs en élevage, ils donc ajoutés dans l’aliment sous forme de supplémentation. Cependant, du fait leur faible taux rétention chez porc, se retrouven...

This note introduces a new general conjecture correlating the dimensionality dT of an infinite lattice with N nodes to the asymptotic value of its Wiener Index W(N). In the limit of large N the general asymptotic behavior W(N)≈Ns is proposed, where the exponent s and dT are related by the conjectured formula s=2+1/dT allowing a new definition of dimensionality dW=(s-2)-1. Being related to the t...

Based on the analysis of waste heat distribution characteristics a typical ship two-stroke low-speed main engine (model: MAN 8S65ME-C8.6HL, specified maximum continuous rating SMCR: 21,840 kW) under different loads, two types organic Rankine cycle (ORC) systems, namely basic system (BORC) and preheated system(PORC), were constructed to recover engine’s exhaust gas jacket cooling water heat. Usi...
