Data on demographics, way of delivery, gestational age, birth weight, singleton or twin pregnancy, antibiotics administration, surgical procedures, exposure to devices and length of stay were collected.
We apply this approach to optimize the design of a 4 × 4 silica MMI coupler, and demonstrate that the device width and length must be adjusted simultaneously to achieve both low loss and good uniformity.
The mean device temperature and length of time spent at maximum settings were greater for protocol A (43°C ± 0°C vs 41°C ± 1°C, P = .003; and 60 ± 0 vs 41.5 ± 2.8 minutes, P = .004).004
The assessment of certain risk factors such as birth weight, length of stay, device exposures, and length of antibiotic treatment, analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used.
The analytical feedbacks produced specific standardised rates (SR) for the intensity of devices use and length of stay weighted for the case mix, and the SR for mortality and NI rates weighted for the ICU resources use and the case mix.
[Zhang X-y, Wang Q, Zhang S, Tan W, Wang Z, Li J (2015) The use of a modified, oscillating positive expiratory pressure device reduced fever and length of hospital stay in patients after thoracic and upper abdominal surgery: a randomised trial. Journal of Physiotherapy 61: 16120].
Stabilization devices and tape lengths were controlled by measuring and marking tensioning devices and tape lengths.
With branching angle of 0.299° and device length of only 5 mm, the simulation shows that the device could exhibits crosstalk of −33 dB at calculated required power of only 26 mW.
It is shown that the quasi-periodic characteristic of these sensors facilitates a trade-off between sensitivity and device length.
