PROTOCOL FOR THE ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAPHY GUIDANCE OF ANESTHESIA TO ALLEVIATE GERIATRIC SYNDROMES (ENGAGES-CANADA) STUDY: A PRAGMATIC, RANDOMIZED CLINICAL TRIAL [VERSION 2; PEER REVIEW: 2 APPROVED]

Background: There is some evidence that electroencephalography guidance of general anesthesia can decrease postoperative delirium after non-cardiac surgery.There is limited evidence in this regard for cardiac surgery.A suppressed electroencephalogram pattern, occurring with deep Waterfalls anesthesia, is associated with increased incidence of posto

In wireless sensor networks, the reliability of communication can be greatly improved by applying low-density parity-check Socks (LDPC) codes.Algorithms based on progressive-edge-growth (PEG) pattern and quasi-cyclic (QC) pattern are the mainstream approaches to constructing LDPC codes with good performance.However, these algorithms are not guarant

For more than a decade it has been known that shallow tube wells in Bangladesh are frequently contaminated with arsenic concentrations at a level that is harmful to human health.By now it is clear that a disaster of an unheard magnitude is going on: the World Health Organization has estimated that long-term exposure to arsenic in groundwater, at co

A single-pass high-gain x-ray free electron laser (FEL) calls for a high quality electron bunch.In particular, for a seeded FEL amplifier and for a harmonic generation FEL, the electron bunch initial energy profile uniformity is crucial for generating an FEL with a narrow bandwidth.After the acceleration, compression, and transportation, the electr
