There are nearly 43,000 hip replacements and 33,000 knee replacements performed each year in the United Kingdom. Many of these require a blood transfusion. However, there has been increased public concern about the safety of blood transfusion and various techniques are used to decrease the need for allogenic transfusion. Postoperative blood salvage and reinfusion is one of them. We studied 186 ...

In this paper, we consider a stochastic distributed nonconvex optimization problem with the cost function being over n agents having access only to zeroth-order (ZO) information of cost. This has various machine learning applications. As solution, propose two ZO algorithms, in which at each iteration agent samples local oracle points time-varying smoothing parameter. We show that proposed algor...

This work investigates heat transfer and phase change phenomena during excimer laser interaction with nickel specimens[ Based on time!resolved measurements in the laser ~uence range between 1[4 J cm and 09[4 J cm\ it is found that surface evaporation occurs when the laser ~uence is below 4[1 J cm[ At a laser ~uence of 4[1 J cm or higher\ explosive!type vaporization takes place[ Numerical calcul...

The sodium flux ratio across the axolemma of internally perfused, voltage-clamped giant axons of Loligo pealei has been measured at various membrane potentials. The flux ratio exponent obtained from these measurements was about unity and independent of membrane voltage over the 50 mV range from about -20 to ł mV. These results, combined with previous measurements of ion permeation through sodiu...

In the framework of dynamical modelling of the geoid, we have estimated basic features of the radial profile of temperature in the mantle. The applied parameterization of the geotherm directly characterizes thermal boundary layers and values of the thermal gradient in the upper and lower mantle. In the inverse modelling scheme these parameters are related to the observables (geoid and seismic s...

STUDY AIM Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is strongly associated with obesity, especially abdominal obesity. Obesity in turn is a well-known risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD). The aim of our study was to evaluate the relationship between OSA severity and CAD risk factors. MATERIAL AND METHODS The sample consisted of 73 subjects (mean age +/- SE, 46.7 +/- 1 years) referred to a slee...
