Morphine is the prototypical opioid agonist and remains the gold standard to which other opioids are compared. However, morphine has several features that may render it less than ideal ... Morphine is relatively hydrophilic, causing a notoriously delayed peak effect (~15-20 minutes) even when given intravenously. ...The phenylpiperidine opioid subclass, fentanyl, and its congeners ... have pharmacokinetic profiles that may be more ideal for shorter surgical procedures ... All of these opioids are more potent than morphine and are quite lipophilic with very rapid onset approximating 30 to 60 minutes and peak effects within 5 minutes. 4, record 1, English, - peak%20effect

The motion detection radar (MDR) adds a new dimension to surveillance. The MDR can be effective even through wooden doors and concrete walls. It requires very little setup and does not have any external wires connected to it. Unlike TV cameras and IR sensors that must be concealed, the MDR can be placed in a "safe location" on the other side of a wall or hidden in a container with non-metallic walls. The MDR provides an effective and timely alert even if the person doing the surveillance is preoccupied, distracted or inadvertently nods off due to fatigue. 1, record 4, English, - motion%20detection%20radar
