Hemodilution during off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting: Can we improve flow and reduce hypercoagulability?
(Forum Multimedia Publishing LLC., 2003)
Background: The aim of this study was to compare intraoperative coronary graft flows performed on pump and off pump and to evaluate the effects of hemodilution on coronary graft flows in off-pump coronary artery bypass ...
Repair of recurrent patent ductus arteriosus in an adult with cardiopulmonary bypass
(Blackwell Futura Publishing Inc, 2003)
Recurrence of ductal patency is a rarely encountered complication in surgical repair of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). An adult patient with ductal recurrency underwent closure of ductus by using cardiopulmonary bypass ...
Does off-pump CAPG reduce gastrointestinal complications?
(Elsevier Science Inc, 2004)
Background. The aim of this study was to compare gastrointestinal complications and associated risk factors among patients undergoing cardiac surgery using off- and on-pump revascularization techniques. Methods. A total ...
Development of an oblique subduction zone - Tectonic evolution of the tethys suture zone in southeast Turkey
(V H Winston & Son Inc, 2003)
The Southeast Anatolian orogen part of the Mediterraneari-Himalayan orogenic belt may be divided into three approximately E-W-trending zones. From south to north they are the Arabian platform an imbricated zone and a nappe ...
The association of the severity of obstructive sleep apnea with plasma leptin levels
(Amer Medical Assoc., 2003)
Objective: To examine whether circulating leptin levels correlate with the severity of disease in patients with obstructive sleep apnea. Design: Prospective nonrandomized study. Setting: Referral sleep laboratory for ...
A Robust Localization Framework to Handle Noisy Measurements in Wireless Sensor Networks
(IEEE, 2009)
We construct a robust localization framework to handle noisy measurements in wireless sensor networks. Traditionally many approaches employ the distance information gathered from ranging devices of the sensor nodes to ...
A Simple Iterative Equalizer for Space Time Coded Multiple Antenna Systems
(IEEE, 2009)
In this paperg a simple low complexity iterative receiver for spacetime coded zSTCg transmission is proposed and the pen formance over frequencyyselective fast and quasistatic fading channels is investigatedF Simulation ...
Scaling Laws For Distributed Estimation Over Orthogonal Fading Channels
(IEEE, 2009)
We analyze the outage for distributed estimation over orthogonal fading channels as a function of the number of sensors K. We consider a scenario of fixed power per-sensor with an asymptotically large number of sensors. ...
Navigation of autonomous mobile robots in connected groups
(IEEE, 2008)
The navigation of autonomous mobile robots as a group is considered in this paper. Definitions adopted from the graph theory are given to characterize the robot group. A local steering strategy is proposed such that when ...
Outage Diversity for Distributed Estimation over Parallel Fading Channels
(IEEE, 2008)
In this paper we study the outage diversity in distributed estimation over parallel fading channels. We find tight upper and lower bounds on the diversity order and show that they are arbitrarily close under certain ...
