A Simulation Study of Artificial Heating of the Ionosphere by Powerful High Frequency Radio Waves | Chapter 6 | Advances and Trends in Physical Science Research Vol. 2

Results of numerical modeling of the behavior of the F-layer ionospheric plasma during the periods of action of powerful high frequency radio waves, utilized for artificial heating experiments and pumped into the ionosphere by ground-based ionospheric heaters, are presented and discussed. For obtaining the presented simulation results, two distinct mathematical models were applied. The first mathematical model is based on a numerical solution of the system of transport equations for ionospheric plasma. This mathematical model allows us to simulate large-scale disturbances of the spatial structure of the F-region ionosphere, caused by the absorbed energy of powerful high frequency radio waves. The second mathematical model is based on a numerical solution of the system of kinetic equations for ion and electron gases in the ionosphere. The latter mathematical model allows us to investigate numerically kinetic processes in ionospheric plasma, in particular, the behavior of magnetic field aligned super-small-scale irregularities in the concentration of charged particles. Moreover, this model has allowed us to establish new details of the mechanism responsible for artificial heating of ionospheric plasma by powerful high frequency radio waves, pumped into the ionosphere by ground-based ionospheric heaters. These new details of the heating mechanism will be presented and discussed in this study.

The results indicated that the presence of a standing high-power HF radio wave ought to influence significantly on the behavior of the bulk flow velocities of electrons and positively charged ions. At the levels of the loops of the wave, the vectors of the bulk flow velocities of the positive ions and electrons rotate with the frequency equal to the frequency of the disturbing HF radio wave. It turned out that considerable differences between modules of bulk flow velocities of electrons and positive ions take place at the levels of the wave’s loops, whereas, mentioned velocities are equal and negligible at the levels of the nodal points. As a consequence, intensive heating of the F-layer ionospheric plasma ought to arise at the levels of the loops of a wave. On the contrary, at the levels of the nodal points, the ionospheric plasma ought to stay undisturbed. The present study, revealed new details of the mechanism responsible for artificial heating of ionospheric plasma by powerful HF radio waves, pumped into the ionosphere by ground-based ionospheric heaters, have been submitted.

A Prospective Study about Safety and Efficacy of Perioperative Lidocaine Infusion | Chapter 09 | New Horizons in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 8

 Opioids cause clinically significant side effects such as respiratory depression, immunosuppression, muscle rigidity, negative inotropism, nausea, vomiting, hyperalgesia, urine retention, postoperative ileus, and drowsiness. Perioperative opioids are a major contributor to the United States' and other countries' opioid epidemics. Non-opioid analgesics, particularly lidocaine, are becoming more common for perioperative use as a result of this. A total of 185 adult patients were randomly assigned to one of two groups: control group I (105 patients) [fentanyl group] or group ii (80 patients) [opioid-free anaesthesia group]. Lidocaine 1.5 mg/kg bolus followed by 1.5 mg/kg/h infusion intraoperatively, and 1.5-2 mg/kg/h infusion for 2-8 hours postoperatively were given to patients in both groups at anaesthetic induction. Intraoperatively, both groups received analgesic adjuvants such as diclofenac 75 mg, paracetamol 1 gm, and mgso4 30-50 mg/kg. If the mean arterial pressure (map)

A Brief Study of Middleware Technologies: Programming Applications and Management Systems | Chapter 15 | Novel Research Aspects in Mathematical and Computer Science Vol. 1

  Many platforms, services, applications, hardware, and operating systems are connected through the middleware layer. Because the middleware layer abstracts much low-level complexity and makes applications and software systems portable, it allows disparate systems to interface and function together in harmony. Middleware technologies enable software engineers to swiftly construct software systems and applications, allowing developers to focus on more important tasks. This chapter examines several types of middleware systems and discusses middleware capabilities, middleware operation, middleware's function in cloud-based systems, and the best middleware platforms to use. Middleware systems are widely utilised and can be found in practically any software system or application. Middleware programmes provide as a link between many sorts of systems and protocols. They serve as a mechanism for various systems. To successfully exchange information, it runs on a variety of operating system

Patients’ Perspective of Acute Post-operative Pain Management: A Multicentre Survey of Tertiary Hospitals in Maharashtra, India | Chapter 08 | New Horizons in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 8

 When postoperative pain is adequately controlled, patients' satisfaction and patient-related outcomes (PROs) increase. Understanding the patients' perspective is crucial since it supports in the formulation of improvement strategies. Because wrong attitudes and assumptions might block pain alleviation, patients' attitudes and beliefs are critical. As a result, a multicenter study of patients' attitudes, beliefs, experiences, and satisfaction levels with acute postoperative pain management was done in Maharashtra's tertiary hospitals. In addition, the responses were examined to evaluate if the Acute Pain Service (APS) resulted in improved patient outcomes and satisfaction. A 13-item questionnaire adapted from previous studies was used to capture patients' experiences with postoperative pain treatment. The responses of 179 patients are included in the study. The findings revealed that 91.6 percent of patients experienced postoperative pain, with 75.5 percent
