IMITATOR II User Manual

We present here the user manual of Imitator II, a tool implementing the “inverse method” in the framework of parametric timed automata: given a reference valuation of the parameters, its generates a constraint such that the system behaves the same as under the reference valuation in terms of traces, i.e., alternating sequences of locations and actions. This is useful for safely relaxing some va...

Tubular Brace Member Connections in Braced Steel Frames

cast connections. ABSTRACT: Diagonal bracings are extremely popular elements for lateral load resistance in steel-framed buildings. In turn, the most common shape used for bracing members is the hollow structural section. While the design of such members is straight-forward, the design of gusset-plate connections at the member ends is controversial. This paper reviews the current ‘state-of-the-...

Manual versus Automated moNitoring Accuracy of GlucosE II (MANAGE II)

BACKGROUND Intravascular continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) may facilitate glycemic control in the intensive care unit (ICU). We compared the accuracy of a CGM device (OptiScanner®) with a standard reference method. METHODS Adult patients who had blood glucose (BG) levels >150 mg/dl and required insertion of an arterial and central venous catheter were included. The OptiScanner® was inserted...

E. mixture on account of the two latter ingredients evaporating more rapidly than the alcohol, which saturates the lint or sponge and prevents the chloroform or ether being taken up. Curiously enough no mention is made ...
