INTRODUCTION: The urine output criterion of 0.5 ml/kg/h for 6-hours for acute kidney injury, (AKI) has not been prospectively validated. Urine output criteria for AKI (AKIUO) as predictors of in-hospital mortality or dialysis need were compared. METHODS: All admissions to a general ICU were prospectively screened for 12 months and hourly urine outp

Developing light weight yet stronger and more flexible panels in aircraft structure to withstand from failure due to vibration has been the interest of many researchers nowadays. Piezoelectric material has been the popular choice to attenuate vibration actively and numerous techniques of optimal control and actuator placement have been proposed. Th

CMOS integration in RF MEMS have become dominant due to the growing demand of mobile and wireless communication system. Usage of off chip resonators is not efficient since it leads to large area and high interfacing loss. Integration of CMOS with SAW resonators is a possible solution to reduce the loss. In this work, a SAW resonator was developed u

The performance of surface acoustic wave resonator in CMOS technology for single and double electrode (IDT) structure is presented. Interdigitated electrodes (IDT) structure in surface acoustic wave (SAW) resonator is the most crucial component for excitation of SAW devices. Possible configurations for the IDT are single electrode and double electr

Parents choose to marry off their daughters early for a number of reasons. Poor families may regard a young girl as an economic burden and her marriage as a necessary survival strategy for her family. They may think that child marriage offers protection for their daughter from the dangers of sexual assault, or more generally, offers the care of a m

INTRODUCTION AND AIMS: Aggressive volume resuscitation is often required in critically ill patients to maintain haemodynamic stability and end organ perfusion. There has been growing concern about the adverse effects of positive fluid balance on mortality and acute kidney injury (AKI) incidence. We aimed to investigate the impact of fluid overload

This paper examines the Libyan commercial banks’ adoption of Islamic financial transactions to achieve a real value for stakeholders related to internal environmental adaptation. Accordingly, a questionnaire was designed and distributed to 14 commercial banks in Libya. Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) has been employed for testing the hypothes

Dalam bab ini penulis cuba mengupas beberapa hadis yang berkaitan dengan tanda-tanda akhir zaman yang menjurus kepada cabaran ekonomi dan kewangan yang akan dihadapi oleh orang yang beriman, seterusnya mencari beberapa petunjuk wahyu untuk membantu mereka agar dapat melindungi jua membebaskan diri dari cengkaman yang mampu menjejaskan akidah, khusu

This paper aims to study the microjet’s efficacy as a management tool for the duct’s flow field. The nozzle was correctly expanded for a diameter ratio of 1.6 (i.e., area ratio = 2.56). The Mach numbers considered were from 1.25 to 2. The investigation shows that the development and recovery of the duct flow are smooth at lower Mach numbers. At
