Aims: Today, due to the failure of non-surgical methods in the treatment of obesity, surgical procedures such as sleeve gastrocetomy are used. Similar to other invasive interventions, sleeve gastrectomy causes an imbalance in hemodynamic parameters. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of early mobilization on hemodynamic parameters in patients undergoing sleeve gastrectomy. Mater...

application of archie equation in carbonate reservoirs is not easy due to high dependence of its parameters on carbonate characteristics. carbonates are very heterogeneous in nature and hydrocarbon reserve estimation in these reservoirs of mostly oil-wet and intermediate-wet is highly influenced by the input values of saturation exponent. to our knowledge, non representative oils have been used...

[1] This paper presents a framework for studying regional water balance in which the physical processes are first described at the local instantaneous scale and then integrated to the annual, basin-wide scale. The integration treats the relative soil saturation (i.e., the soil moisture divided by the porosity) and precipitation intensities as stochastic variables in space and time. A statistica...

The Jameson and Hurvich opponent-colors model of hue and saturation was tested for spectral and non-spectral lights. Four observers described the color of lights by scaling hue and saturation. The lights ranged from 440 to 640 nm and consisted of five purities: 1.0, 0.80, 0.60, 0.40 and 0.20. Admixtures of monochromatic and a xenon-white light yielded the different colorimetric purities. For ea...

This paper presents an adaptive control methodology for nonlinear plants that prevents the adaptive parameters from drifting due to trajectory errors arising from control saturation. The reference trajectory is modified upon saturation, so that the modified trajectory approximates the original reference closely and can be tracked within saturation limits. The adaptive parameters are updated by ...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW Maintenance of adequate tissue oxygenation is an important task in intensive care units. In this context, venous oximetry by obtaining mixed venous oxygen saturation or central venous oxygen saturation has been discussed as useful monitoring parameters. This review discusses the physiology and clinical application of these parameters. RECENT FINDINGS No study has so far demo...

Offline crane maneuvers, resulting in zero residual payload swing, have been explored previously using parameterized sets of basis functions. Assumptions usually included an ideal servo response and symmetric inputs. Nonsymmetric maneuvers, in general, do not have closedform basis function solutions. Actuator dynamics further complicate maneuver generation by introducing nonlinearities such as ...

This work aims to estimate the shelf life of Golden Delicious apple fruit stored at room temperature by determining changing trend in color every week using a non-destructive measurement method. Moreover, study will measure changes weight loss (Δm) and total soluble solids (TSS) contained apple. The research focuses on last stage ripening effect affecting consumer behavior; therefore, examined ...

For wave propagation at low frequencies in a porous medium, the Gassmann-Domenico relations are well-established for homogeneous partial saturation by a liquid. They provide the correct relations for seismic velocities in terms of constituent bulk and shear moduli, solid and fluid densities, porosity and saturation. It has not been possible, however, to invert these relations easily to determin...
