The role of posterior pericardiotomy on the incidence of atrial fibrillation after coronary revascularization
(Edizioni Minerva Medica, 2003)
Aim. Pericardial effusion and atrial fibrillation (AF) are two common complications in coronary revascularization surgery. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of posterior pericardiotomy in pericardial. ...
Augmentation mentoplasty using a custom-design wire cage
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2003)
Mentoplasty is often a complimentary procedure to rhinoplasty. At least 25% of all rhinoplasty patients may need a chin implant to balance facial features better. Augmentation mentoplasty using alloplastic implants such ...

(Edizioni Minerva Medica, 2003)
Experimental studies in animals play a major role in the progress of medicine. Different surgical techniques have been described for heterotopic heart transplantation in rats. in this study we introduce a new technique for ...
Zero-crossing based demodulation of minimum shift keying
(2003)
Minimum shift keying (MSK) modulation has features such as constant envelope compact spectrum and good error performance which are all desirable in many digital applications including mobile radio. Numerous receiver ...
Left versus bi-atrial intraoperative saline-irrigated radiofrequency modified maze procedure for atrial fibrillation
(2003)
Background: This study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the saline-irrigated radiofrequency modified maze operation for the treatment of chronic atrial fibrillation (AF) and compare the results of the left ...
Sliding mode controller solution for the shallow submerged operation ok a submarine
(IFAC Secretariat, 2003)
In this paper a submarine controller is presented which can accommodate the sea wave effects on a submarine a(shallow water operation. Sliding mode method is implemented in a way that the robustness of the controller ...
Active reconfigurable control of a submarine with indirect adaptive control
(2003)
An indirect adaptive controller is designed for submersibles. The design is developed using a linearized MIMO model of a submarine. Standard recursive least squares estimation method is used to estimate the parameters. ...
