We recorded the ventilatory effects of eltanolone 0.75 mg kg-1, propofol 2.5 mg kg-1 and thiopentone 4 mg kg-1 at induction of anaesthesia in 76 unpremedicated patients, aged 18-65 yr. Measurements were made using a pneumotachograph incorporated between a close-fitting face mask and a T-piece delivering 35% oxygen. Eltanolone caused significantly less apnoea than propofol (incidence 57% vs 100%...

Recent research has shown that infants as young as 13 months can attribute false beliefs to agents, suggesting that the psychological-reasoning subsystem necessary for attributing reality-incongruent informational states (Subsystem-2, SS2) is operational in infancy. The present research asked whether 18-month-olds' false-belief reasoning extends to false beliefs about object identity. Infants w...

In this research, frictions stir welding of aluminum alloy AA2024 and with its similar plate having a cross section 100 x 50 5 mm. The work piece is heating variation temperature holding time cooled it in water. Heat treated work-piece welded by friction process tool rotation speed other parameters are constant for all experiment. For experiment design using the selected control Temperature, th...

The observer-blind, randomized, age-stratified, head-to-head study (NCT00423046) comparing immunogenicity and safety of HPV-16/18 and HPV-6/11/16/18 vaccines in healthy women aged 18-45 y was completed. Five y after vaccination, in subjects from the Month 60 according-to-protocol cohort (seronegative and DNA negative for HPV type analyzed at baseline), serum neutralizing antibody (nAb) response...

Among the many treatments for erectile dysfunction, implantation of a penile prosthesis has been associated with high patient satisfaction rates. Specifically, the placement of a three-piece inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) confers the highest rates of satisfaction. We reviewed the literature over the past 20 years regarding satisfaction rates for penile prostheses, with a focus on patients w...

This paper is concerned with the dynamic response of straddle-monorail single-axle bogie under curve condition. A 15 degrees-of-freedom(DOF) model established for straddle-type monorail vehicle bogie, which consists driving wheels, steering wheels and stabilizing wheels. The motion equations are derived using Lagrange's equation, wheel-rail contact curving track beam created. Compared test resu...

A set of experiments for learning the values of chess pieces is described for the popular chess variants Crazyhouse Chess, Suicide Chess, and Atomic Chess. We follow an established methodology that relies on reinforcement learning from self-games. We attempt to learn piece values and the piecesquare tables for three chess variants. The piece values arrived at, are quite different from those of ...
