In this study, flapwise bending vibration analysis of a tapered Timoshenko beam mounted on the periphery of a rotating rigid hub is performed. The governing differential equations of motion for pure bending are derived using the Hamilton’s principle and solved using the Differential Transform Method, DTM. During the derivation of the equations, effects of rotary inertia, shear deformation and h...

The modified Mallampati score is used to predict difficult tracheal intubation. We have conducted a meta-analysis of published studies to evaluate the Mallampati score as a prognostic test. A total of 55 studies involving 177 088 patients were included after comprehensive electronic and manual searches. The pooled estimates from the meta-analyses were calculated based on a random-effects model ...
