To test the efficacies of thiosulfate in cyanide poisoning with or without oxygen, after the administration of sublethal dose of potassium cyanide, serial arterial blood samples were collected during 60 minutes in 15 rabbits. Cyanide ion concentrations were measured by Conway cell microdiffusion method, and arterial oxygen tensions were also observed. Comparison of elimination constants showed that arterial blood cyanide ion concentration decreased most rapidly in the thiosulfate with oxygen-administered group. The elimination of cyanide ion by the action of thiosulfate in acutely poisoned rabbit accelerated probably due to oxygen and elimination pattern seems to occur by first-order elimination kinetics.

This paper presents two elimination methods of subtours, which is obtained by applying the Out-of-Kilter algorithm to the sequential ordering problem (SOP) to produce a feasible solution for the SOP. Since the SOP is a kind of asymmetric traveling salesman problem (ATSP) with precedence constraints, we can apply the Out-of-Kilter algorithm to the SOP by relaxing the precedence constraints. Instead of patching subtours, both of two elimination methods construct a feasible solution of the SOP by using arcs constructing the subtours, and they improve solution by running 3-opt and 4-opt at each iteration. We also use a perturbation method. cost relaxation to explore a global solution. Six cases from two elimination methods are presented and their experimental results are compared to each other. The proposed algorithm found 32 best known solutions out of the 34 instances from the TSPLIB in a reasonable time.

Effectiveness of the video-record learning method in teaching bowel elimination nursing skill was investigated using an experimental research methodology. Data was collected from 63 female students attending Fundamental Nursing class from a nursing college in Seoul. The subjects were randomly assigned to two groups, one is the experimental group of 29 and the other the control group of 34. The independent variable was video-record learning method and the dependent variable were the degree of knowledge achivement, nursing skill achivement, competence on practicing elimination skill, and satisfaction about the learning method. The hypotheses of the study were as following. 1) There will be significant difference between the experimental group and the control group in dependent variables. 2) There will be significant positive correlations between nursing skill achievement and other three dependent variables-interest in nursing, adaptation in nursing, and preference of nursing job. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, chi-square test, t-test, and Pearson's correlation coefficient with SPSS $PC^+$ program. Findings of the study are : 1) There was no significant difference between the experimental group and the control group in knowledge achievement using P<.05. 2) There was significant difference between the experimental group and the control group in nursing skill achievement using P<.05. 3) There was no significant difference between the experimental group and the control group in competence on practicing elimination skill using P<.05. 4) There was no significant difference between the experimental group and the control group in satisfaction about learning method using P<.05. 5) There was positive correlation between nursing skill achievement and the other variables but no significant difference was shown. 6) This study suggests that video-record learning method is an effective learning method for achiving basic nursing skills but is not effective in other areas such as knowledge achivement, competence in performing nursing practice, and satis-faction about the learning method. Further study with more developed research design and statistical analysis should be done to investigate the effectivenes of video-record learning method in learning basic nursing skill more accurately.

Linear system is a basic subject matter of school mathematics courses. Even though elimination is a useful method to solve linear systems, its fundamental principles were not discussed pedagogically. The purpose of this study is to help the development of mathematical content knowledge on linear systems conceptions. To do this, various representations and translations among them were considered, and in particular, the basic principles for elimination method are analyzed geometrically. Rectangular representation is used to solve word problem treated in numbers of things in elementary mathematics and it is useful as a pre-stage to introduce elimination. Slopes and intercepts of lines associated linear equations are used to obtain the Cramer's formula and this solving method was showing the connection between algebraic and geometric procedures. Strategy deleting variables of linear systems by elementary operations is explored and associated with the movements of lines in the family of lines passing through a fixed point. The development of mathematical content knowledge is expected to enhance pedagogical content knowledges.

This paper presents an second harmonic elimination method based on the impedance variation scheme. Through the power quality analysis from the nonlinear loads connected on the power system, the second harmonic problems have been analyzed with a case study analysis and the experiments. In the paper, the second Harmonic generation was simulated with a single phase SCR rectifier and the analytical model is proposed for the second harmonic generation. A novel impedance variation scheme is proposed and analyzed to eliminate the second harmonic. The experiment has been performed on the 60(MVA) industry manufacturing plant. The experimental result demonstrates the proposed impedance variation scheme successfully operate on the 60(MVA) industry manufacturing plant.

This paper describes an parallell computing algorithm in Gauss elimination of Jacobian matrix to large-scale power system. The structure of Jacobian matrix becomes different according to ordering method of buses. In sequential computation buses are ordered to minimize the number of fill-in in the triangulation of the Jacobian matrix. The proposed method using ND(nested dissection) ordering develops the parallelism in the Gauss elimination to have balance of computing load among processes and each processor uses the sequential computation method to preserve the sparsity of matrix.

The cube-accumulation is a new theme included in the 7th elementary mathematics curriculum for improving children's spatial ability. One activity of the cube-accumulation is to recognize the configuration of accumulated cube given three plane figures in the directions of the above, the front and the side, respectively. The approach to this activity presented in the mathematics textbook is more or less intuitive and constructive, and difficult to some children. So we suggest an alternative, more analytic method, 'elimination method', that is eliminating unnecessary parts from $n{\times}n{\times}n$ whole cubes. This method was adopted to the 32 sixth graders, in special five applicants among them. Their responses and activities were analyzed. We confirm that we can teach the cube-accumulation by the elimination method, and some children prefer this method. 13u1 this method requires more exercises to be executed skillfully.

One serious problem among the troubles to identify objects in an optical microscopic image is contour background due to non-uniform light source and various transparency of samples. To solve this problem, this paper proposed an elimination method of the contour background and compensation technique as follows. First, Otsu's optimal thresholding method extracts pixels representing background. Second, bilinear interpolation finds non-deterministic background pixels among the sampled pixels. Third, the 2D cubic fitting method composes surface function from pivoted background pixels. Fourth, reconstruction procedure makes a contour image from the surface function. Finally, elimination procedure subtracts the approximated background from the original image. To prove the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, this algorithm is applied to the yeast Zygosaccharomyces rouxii and ammonia-oxidizing bacteria Acinetobacter sp. Labeling by this proposed method can remove some noise and is more exact than labeling by only Otsu's method. Futhermore, we show that it is more effective for the reduction of noise.

This paper presents a new fast motion estimation algorithm for multi-reference frames. We first analyze the experimental results of the successive elimination algorithm, which is a fast version of full search algorithm, being applied to Multi-reference frames. Based on the analysis, a new scheme for alleviating its computational burden is introduced. In the proposed method, the motion vector for the immediately previous reference frame is found by applying the successive elimination algorithm, while the motion vector for other reference frames is estimated by extrapolation of the already obtained motion vector. Adaptively restricting the motion search area to the local area centered on the estimated motion vector, the proposed method provides dramatic computational complexity reduction but slight quality degradation. The proposed method is evaluated by experiments for some image sequences.

A geometrical description method is proposed to represent the process of the forward selection and backward elimination methods among many variable selection methods for multiple regression models. This graphical method shows the process of the forward selection and backward elimination on the first and second quadrants, respectively, of half circle with a unit radius. At each step, the SSR is represented by the norm of vector and the extra SSR or partial determinant coefficient is represented by the angle between two vectors. Some lines are dotted when the partial F test results are statistically significant, so that statistical analysis could be explored. This geometrical description can be obtained the final regression models based on the forward selection and backward elimination methods. And the goodness-of-fit for the model could be explored.
