Although surgical procedures are often performed over the posterior head and neck, surgical landmarks for avoiding the cutaneous nerves in this region are surprisingly lacking in the literature. Twelve adult cadaveric specimens underwent dissection of the cutaneous nerves overlying the posterior head and neck, and mensuration was made between these structures and easily identifiable surrounding...

This paper reports a study in which the usage of emergency operating procedures (EOP) in a simulated accident scenario in a nuclear power plant was carefully analysed. The background assumption was that in an accident situation, even within the closely defined envelope of the EOPs, crews may act differently. The empirical findings demonstrate the variance in the operating performance of twelve ...

Online deliberation may provide a more cost-effective and/or less inhibiting environment for public participation than face to face (F2F). But do online methods bias participation toward certain individuals or groups? We compare F2F versus online participation in an experiment affording within-participants and cross-modal comparisons. For English speakers required to have Internet access as a c...

In this paper, we introduce a new family of rank-dependent measures of inequality and social welfare consistent with the Equality of Opportunity (EOp) principle. The proposed framework can be used to measure long-term as well as short-term EOp, depending on whether we let permanent income or snapshots of income form the basis of the analysis. Further, it allows for both an ex-ante and an expost...

Method We assessed exposure to smoking shown in movies in 3547 adolescents, aged 10–14 years, who reported in a baseline survey that they had never tried smoking. Exposure to smoking in movies was estimated for individual respondents on the basis of the number of smoking occurrences viewed in unique samples of 50 movies, which were randomly selected from a larger sample pool of popular contempo...

OBJECTIVES The Enriched Opportunities Programme (EOP) is a multi-level intervention focussing on improved quality of life for people with dementia. This study compared the experience of people living with dementia and other mental health problems in extra care housing schemes that utilised EOP with schemes that employed an active control intervention. METHOD Ten extra care housing schemes wer...

A bstract We evaluate the holographic entanglement entropy, HEE, mutual information, HMI, and of purification, EoP, in a non-conformal model at zero finite temperature. In order to find analytical results we consider some specific regimes parameter space. that effects decrease redefined HEE increase HMI EoP all studied regimes. On other side, temperature (decrease) (HMI) while it has no definit...

One prominent criterion to achieve efficient learning and instruction in an educational setting is the appropriate material(s) specifically developed for that particular group of learners, particularly in an English for Occupational Purposes (EOP) context. This study aimed at developing new EOP materials for pre-service cabin crew in an aviation school. To do so, initially the researchers perfo...

A class of P systems, called EOP systems, with symbol objects processed by evolution rules distributed alongside the transitions of an Eilenberg machine, is introduced. A parallel variant of EOP systems, called EOPP systems, is also defined and the power of both EOP and EOPP systems is investigated in relationship with three parameters: number of membranes, states and set of distributed rules. ...
