Anaesthetic management in a parturient with Ebstein′s anamoly
No full textEbstein′s anamoly is a rare congenital heart defect comprising less than 1% of patients with congenital heart disease. Among the congenital heart lesions, Ebstein′s anamoly is one of the most diverse in presentation, severity and management. Even though pregnancy in women with Ebstein′s anamoly is usually well-tolerated, they are at increased risk of developing ventricular and supraventricular tachycardias, congestive cardiac failure, sudden collapse and even death. Here, we report a case of the pregnant woman with mild pre-eclampsia, known case of Ebstein′s anamoly posted for emergency caesarean section

Any application that is designed to run on such specialized devices has a typical flow that begins and ends with data movement between Central Processing Unit (CPU) and GPU. Previous research has shown that this data movement is indeed a major bottleneck with even most optimized applications hitting only 30% of the peak performance [1]. While most recent efforts have been to manually tune communication to improve performance, in this work, we present three different general optimization techniques to introduce overlap between communication and computation. The optimized model thus developed on a stencil application is evaluated against the baseline model using various performance metrics including time and throughput. Sets of experiments performed on two different GPUs reported that a certain combination of these optimizations result in a maximum speedup of 6.5 and a 160% increase in bandwidth utilization when compared to the baseline model in Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA)
Sugarcane Ratoon Stunting
No full textRatoon stunting, also known as ratoon stunting disease (RSD), is considered by many sugarcane pathologists to be the most important disease affecting sugarcane production worldwide, because it can cause 5% to 15% crop yield losses without growers even realizing their fields are infected. This revised 3-page fact sheet describes the symptoms, causal agent, and prevention and control. Written by P. Rott, S. Sood, J. C. Comstock, R. A. Gilbert, and H. S.

INVISIBLE STRUGGLES: EXPLORING CHALLENGES FACED BY WOMEN WITH AMPUTATION IN INDIA
No full textWomen in India, particularly those with amputation, face significant challenges, including but not limited to, unequal prosthetic access and satisfaction, societal discrimination, and the physical and emotional consequences of amputation. These challenges are further exacerbated by gender biases towards access to education and socioeconomic factors, which increases their vulnerability to unemployment and mental health issues. This article emphasizes the urgent need for affordable and customizable prosthetic options tailored to the unique needs of women with amputation, particularly those from low-income backgrounds who often face neglect. Thus, addressing these disparities would significantly enhance their overall well-being and independence.

Analysis of temperature and altitude effects on the Global Energy Balance during WLTC

Changes resulting from the publishing process, such as peer review, editing, corrections, structural formatting, and other quality control mechanisms may not be reflected in this document.

A definitive version was subsequently published as https://doi.org/10.1177/14680874211034292[EN] In this work, the Global Energy Balance (GEB) of a 1.6 L compression ignition engine is analyzed during WLTC using a combination of experimental measurements and simulations, by means of a Virtual Engine. The energy split considers all the relevant energy terms at two starting temperatures (20 degrees C and 7 degrees C) and two altitudes (0 and 1000 m). It is shown that reducing ambient temperature from 20 degrees C to -7 degrees C decreases brake efficiency by 1% and increases fuel consumption by 4%, mainly because of the higher friction due to the higher oil viscosity, while the effect of increasing altitude 1000 m decreases brake efficiency by 0.8% and increases fuel consumption by 2.5% in the WLTC mainly due to the change in pumping. In addition, GEB shows that ambient temperature is affecting exhaust enthalpy by 4.5%, heat rejection to coolant by 2%, and heat accumulated in the block by 2.5%, while altitude does not show any remarkable variations other than pumping and break power.The author(s) disclosed receipt of the following financial support for the research, authorship, and/or publication of this article: This research has been partially funded by the European Union's Horizon 2020 Framework Programme for research, technological development and demonstration under grant agreement 723976 ("DiePeR'') and by the Spanish government under the grant agreement TRA2017-89894-R ("MECOEM'') and Sushma Artham was supported by FPI grant with reference PRE2018-084411.
