BACKGROUND Early postoperative edema and ecchymosis are the most common factors to complicate initial patient perceptions about rhinoplasty. The current study was conducted to determine the effects of longer steri-strip tape on patient cheek in terms of ecchymosis control and reduction. METHODS Through a randomized controlled clinical trial, 70 patients who underwent rhinoplasty were r...

BACKGROUND This study aims to remodel the Broselow Pediatric Emergency Tape for the Indian pediatric population. The Broselow tape overestimates the heights of the Indian pediatric population and remits inaccurate predicted weights for all color zones with varying degrees and could result in overresuscitation of Indian children in emergency settings. The Indian children are underweight for thei...

Archival demands for digital tape storage systems require smaller spacing between data tracks on the magnetic tape to allow for more data storage on a single cartridge. Increasing track density while maintaining track following provides a challenge for the servo control of the tape drive. In particular, interchangeable tape cartridges and time-varying tape reel diameters during operation cause ...

This paper presents a novel composite tape-spring that is suitable for use as a structural element of deployable space structures. The tape-spring uses a combination of material orthotropy and prestress to achieve the unique property known as neutral stability. A consequence of this property is that the tape-springs can be partially rolled and they neither want to unroll or rollup. Previously i...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of newly developed nitroglycerine (NTG) tape on the peripheral circulatory disturbance in systemic sclerosis (SSc). METHODS The finger temperature (FT) of 25 patients with SSc was monitored by thermography before the application of NTG tape to the wrist and one hour afterwards. To check the placebo effect, the change of FT with placebo tape in six patients wh...

The design innovations in the IBM 3803 Tape Control Unit and the IBM 3420 Magnetic Tape Unit are discussed. The new design concepts include a full readback parity check, a system of microprogram control that obtains high operating rates through overlap of channel control and motion control functions, a new phase-error detection system, a modified dual-density recording feature and a new interfa...
