This paper briefly describes the design principles of the hardware and software of 5dpo-2000 team. An evolutive approach is presented as the robots are constantly being improved with new capabilities added or removed as the experience from previous competitions is used to access their advantages or disadvantages. Also is presented the use of this robots as a tool and motivator for some experime...

The Tektronix USBSSP-TX and USB-TX Automated Transmitter solutions provide an easy way to validate and characterize emerging USB 3.1 TypeC host controllers, hubs and devices with Tektronix MSO/DPO/70000DX/ SX series oscilloscopes. The TekExpress USB-RMT software enables flexible and intuitive receiver margin testing of USB 3.0 designs with the AWG7000 series Arbitrary Waveform Generators. The B...

Naturally, like the web, integrated software systems in Internet will have to be distributed and heterogeneous. To improve the interoperability of services for SAAS, it is crucial to build requirements semantics that will cross the entire lifecycle of services especially on requirements stage. In this paper, a requirements semantics interoperability extending approach called Connecting Ontologi...

There have been acclaimed medicinal benefits of palm oil and kernel by rural dwellers in the southeastern part Nigeria. The study investigated phytochemical constituents antioxidant properties different varieties using standard methods. samples include: DPO (dura oil), TPO (tenera NDPKO native NTPKO (native tenera HDPKO hexane extract) HTPKO extract). Results obtained revealed presence steroids...

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of prophylactic, non-invasive ventilation (NIV) on respiratory function in seven- to 16-year-old children in the post-operative phase of cardiac surgery. Method A randomized, controlled trial with 50 children who had undergone cardiac surgery with median sternotomy. After extubation, patients were randomly assigned to one of two groups: control group (n...

BACKGROUND Finite element analysis was used to compare fixation methods for double pelvic osteotomy (DPO). Using 3D scanning a stereolithography (stl) image was produced of a canine pelvis and this was subsequently refined in computer aided design (CAD). Using the CAD files, the images were imported in MSC Marc software to produce a working finite element (FE) model with 3 dimensional tetrahedr...

Minimum-energy geometries and relative electronic energies of the X (1)A(') and A (1)A(") states of HPO have been computed employing the coupled-cluster single-double plus perturbative triple excitations {RCCSD(T)} and/or complete-active-space self-consistent-field (CASSCF) multireference internally contracted configuration interaction (MRCI) methods with basis sets of up to the augmented corre...

BACKGROUND Leptospirosis is a potentially fatal bacterial zoonosis that is endemic throughout the tropics and may be misdiagnosed as dengue. Delayed hospital admission of leptospirosis patients is associated with increased mortality. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS During a concurrent dengue/leptospirosis epidemic in Puerto Rico in 2010, suspected dengue patients that tested dengue-negative we...

The antiarrhythmic efficacy of the novel ultrarapid delayed rectifier potassium current (IKur) blocker (2-isopropyl-5-methylcyclohexyl) diphenylphosphine oxide (DPO-1) was compared with efficacies of the standard class III rapidly activating component of delayed rectifier potassium current (IKr) blockers [+-N-[1'-(6-cyano-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2-napthalenyl)-3,4-dihydro-4-hydroxyspiro[2H-1-benzopy...
