A Proper Tensorial Form of D' Arcy-Ergun Equation

Shiri Lev - Ari , Michael D ' Arcy and Boaz Keysar Interns

OBJECTIVE: Theories from the psychology of communication may be applicable in understandingwhy hand-off communication is inherently problematic. Thepurposeof this studywas toassesswhetherpostcall pediatric interns can correctly estimate the patient care information and rationale received by on-call interns during hand-off communication. METHODS: Pediatric interns at the University of Chicago we...

Convergence and Inclusion Isotonicity of the Tensorial Rational Bernstein Form

A method is investigated by which tight bounds on the range of a multivariate rational function over a box can be computed. The approach relies on the expansion of the numerator and denominator polynomials in Bernstein polynomials. Convergence of the bounds to the range with respect to degree elevation of the Bernstein expansion, to the width of the box and to subdivision are proven and the inc...

On the Closed-Form Solution of a Nonlinear Difference Equation and Another Proof to Sroysang’s Conjecture

The purpose of this paper is twofold. First we derive theoretically, using appropriate transformation on x(n), the closed-form solution of the nonlinear difference equation x(n+1) = 1/(±1 + x(n)), n ∈ N_0. The form of solution of this equation, however, was first obtained in [10] but through induction principle. Then, with the solution of the above equation at hand, we prove a case ...
