Defining the Relationship Between Mechanical Stress and Inadvertent Intestinal Tissue Injury In Laparoscopic Surgery
The potential to use an inappropriate amount of force when handling tissue is much higher in laparoscopic surgery than in open surgical approaches because surgeons lose the ability to directly touch and feel delicate tissue. The two most commonly injured tissues in laparoscopic surgery are the …

Implementation of a Warming Protocol to Prevent Inadvertent Perioperative Hypothermia in the Ambulatory Surgical Setting
… aims to improve patient outcomes by preventing inadvertent perioperative hypothermia (IPH) and its complications in the ambulatory surgical setting. All patients, regardless of age or gender, are at risk for experiencing a 1-2° C drop in body core temperature within thirty minutes of anesthesia …

Implementation of a Warming Intervention Protocol to Prevent Inadvertent Perioperative Hypothermia in the Ambulatory Surgical Setting
… the patient at a higher risk of developing inadvertent perioperative hypothermia (IPH), which can lead to adverse outcomes such as impaired wound healing, blood loss, postoperative pain, and respiratory distress. It is critical to prevent outcomes such as these from occurring in the …

An electrophysiological examination of intentional and inadvertent sleep onset : the effect of intention on the sleep onset process
… (RTSW) were used to compare intentional and inadvertent sleep onset. Sixteen female participants (aged 19-25) spent two non-consecutive nights in the sleep lab; however, due to physical and technical difficulties only 8 participants produced compete sets of data for analysis. Each night …

The Effects of Age on Stress and The Biomechanics of Slips and Falls
… stress and anxiety associated with an inadvertent slip. Younger adult's normal RCOF was higher and their normal step length was longer compared to older adults. Older adult's stress level after a slip was significantly higher than younger adults. However, younger and older adult's …

Failures in adaptive locomotion in healthy young adults
… the underlying cause of failure; examining inadvertent failures does, as this occurs most often in the field (Heijnen & Rietdyk, 2016). In order to identify the behavior that results in obstacle contact, this dissertation examined gait characteristics during inadvertent failures and …

Locality, Identity, and Geography: Translocal Practices of Huizhou Merchants in Late Imperial China
… in China, I try to dispose of the (sometimes inadvertent) implication that these diverse locales were discrete. By highlighting the interconnectedness that was created by the movement of people, this dissertation brings out the social spaces created between local places, and sheds light on the …

A hybrid computer parameter optimization study of the two-area load frequency control problem \
… cost criteria, both of which penalize the inadvertent interchange of energy between the two areas. The problem is studied for several different total megawatt ratings of area two and for several different static tie line transmission capacities. Search techniques employing a hybrid computer …

Male Reproductive Strategies And Mating Displays In The Ocellated Turkey (Meleagris Ocellata)
… The final aim is to investigate the effects of inadvertent human disturbance on the mating system of the Ocellated Turkey, in addition to the fitness of wildlife in general. In the present study, I create the first formal ethogram of Ocellated Turkey action patterns, using behavioral data from …

Computational modeling-guided printing of proangiogenic hydrogel for vascular patterning
… factors at high dosage often resulted in inadvertent formations of leaky, immature vasculature and aggregated blood vessels, termed hemangioma. It is suggested that these inadvertent results are related to physical deformation of pre-existing blood vessels where sprouting initiates and …

Pictorial Map Effects on Learning How to Summarize
<p>Inadvertent plagiarism among college students is caused by misunderstanding the rules and expectations about how to summarize source passages. Visual instruction in the form of a pictorial map is one way to address this problem and to teach students how to properly restate source text. Sixty-six …

Microfabrication of silicon tips for scanning probe microscopy
… with a sharp apex of ~10–20 nm. To prevent inadvertent contact between the substrate bearing the tip and the sample being probed, the tip is elevated on a mesa structure. Atomic resolution STM images of graphite are successfully obtained using silicon tips. Subsequently, a co-axial tip was …
