Thirty-six were operated with conventional technique by two surgeons (DHS conv) and thirty-two with minimally invasive technique by another surgeon (DHS MIO), according to routine surgeons' turnover in the operating room, thus identifying almost randomly two cohorts of patients.
Nevertheless, conventional DMFCs have to be operated with excessively diluted methanol solutions to limit methanol crossover and the detrimental consequences.
To evaluate the feasibility and usability of an assistive technology (AT) prototype designed to be operated with conventional/alternative input channels and a P300-based brain-computer interface (BCI) in order to provide users who have different degrees of muscular impairment resulting from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) with communication and environmental control applications.
Since the conventional OFDM system is operated with linear PA (class A), the DC-input power is fixed [11] and can be written as P_{text{in}}=frac{P_{text{1~dB}}}{mu_{text{1~dB}}}, (40).
26 knees were operated with an imaged-based navigation device (the image-based group), 29 were operated with an image-free device (the image-free group), and 31 knees were operated with the conventional technique (the conventional group) (Table 1).
Study Design: Fifty women with uterine fibromatosis underwent abdominal hysterectomy: 25 randomly selected patients were operated on with conventional technique and the other 25 patients were operated on with bipolar electrocautery scissors.
A novel multilayer fixed-bed binder-free desiccant dehumidifier (MFBDD) was designed as part of this study, to be operated in combination with a conventional vapor-compression system to attain higher moisture removal capacity with lower electricity consumption.
The device could be operated in air with a lower threshold voltage that provided similar luminance output compared with conventional devices using Ca/Al as cathode.
Unlike with the conventional approach of batch-mode SEOP, here all three temperature regimes may be operated under continuous high-power (170 W) laser irradiation, and hyperpolarized Xe gas is delivered without the need for a cryocollection step.
These cases were compared to a matched cohort of 46 patients who were operated on with a conventional posterolateral approach.
