Effect of Laparoscopy on the Immune System
Surgical Innovation, 2004Surgery induces alterations in local and systemic immune responses. These changes appear to be associated with an increase in postoperative morbidity. Minimally invasive techniques are considered to improve the preservation of immune function compared with open surgery and may therefore be beneficial for patient recovery. As laparoscopic techniques are

STICKINESS EFFECTS IN CONSERVATIVE SYSTEMS
International Journal of Bifurcation and Chaos, 2010Stickiness refers to chaotic orbits that stay in a particular region for a long time before escaping. For example, stickiness appears near the borders of an island of stability in the phase space of a 2-D dynamical system. This is pronounced when the KAM tori surrounding the island are destroyed and become cantori (see [Contopoulos, 2002]).

Systemic effects of biomaterials
Biomaterials, 1984Evaluation of the host response to implanted biomaterials usually focuses on the implant site tissue response. This may lead to erroneous conclusions in the same way that examination of battles outside of their historic context does. A broader view discloses a variety of possible and actual systemic effects of carcinogenic, metabolic, immunological and

Effects of Ranolazine on Cardiovascular System
Recent Patents on Cardiovascular Drug Discovery, 2011Chronic stable angina affects 6-7 million Americans and contributes to a significant reduction in quality of life and life expectancy. Current pharmacotherapy for reducing episodes of exertional angina includes β-blockers, calcium channel blockers and long-acting nitrates. Patients may have contraindications to the use of one or more of these agents or

Gravity effects on biological systems
Advances in Space Research, 1992Theoretical investigations of the membrane-solution interface predict different effects of gravity on vertically and horizontally oriented planar membranes. Single channel events of gramicidin incorporated into phosphatidylserine planar bilayer membranes were measured in 0.1 M KCl solution, pH 7, at room temperature.

Systemic anticholinergicside‐effects
Allergy, 2000allergic reactions tocyclopentolate, a mydriatic agent, are veryrare. Munoz-Bellido et al. recently describeda case of allergic contact urticaria syndromedue to cyclopentolate, and reported twoother cases in the literature (1). Apharmacologic effect due to systemicabsorption of this drug must also be takenin consideration.A 34-year-oldwoman received2–3

System Effectiveness as a Generalization of System Availability
IEEE Transactions on Electronic Computers, 1967This paper discusses certain concepts and sample results in the techniques of system effectiveness analysis with particular attention to availability. It turns out that the contemporary concept of system effectiveness can be usefully viewed as a generalization of prior concepts relating to system availability.

Systems smart effects as the consequence of the systems complexity
IEEE EUROCON 2017 -17th International Conference on Smart Technologies, 2017Here we show that various effects of systems behavior looking intellectual may be considered as the consequence of the systems special structures. These effects are such as self-organizing processes in robots groups or insects colonies, self-adaptation in business processes of distributed systems and organizing processes in self-adaptive systems at all.

Power and Effectiveness in Queueing Systems
2015In a series of papers, Kleinrock proposed a performance metric called power for stable queueing systems in equilibrium, which captures the tradeoff every queue makes between work done and time needed to. In particular, he proved that in the M / GI / 1 family of models, the maximal power is obtained when the mean number of customers in the system is ...
