This paper reports a joint work between the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and the Brandenburg Technical University of Cottbus, Germany, in developing a global video conferencing framework called OCTOPUS that interconnects local conferencing systems over long distances. The system makes use of both high level information provided by the participants (to decide which videos are more important to them) as well as low level adaptive mechanisms to perform media scaling as the network and the processor intensities change. It is possible to provide customized service to each conference participant according to hisher needs and the resources available at each site. OCTO-PUS itself makes no assumption on the architecture of the local video conference systems. The paper presents the architecture and the design philosophy of the OCTOPUS framework.Index termsmultiparty video conferencing systems, media scaling, scalability, floor control, adaptive resource management, quality of service, group communication.
outcome, percentage of days in which all procedures were completed within the scheduled OR day, was higher in the OR using sugammadex (79.8%) compared to the OR using neostigmine (40.7%) [range for sugammadex values was 40.7% to 93.1% in the exploratory analyses]. Base-case total overtime over a one-month period was less with sugammadex use compared to neostigmine use (3.6 and 15.0 hours, respectively). ConClusions: Even relatively modest reductions in procedure times with use of sugammadex for NMB reversal might lead to meaningful improvement in OR efficiency and reduced overtime.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
