Cyclus Archetypes

The current state of nuclear fuel cycle simulation exists in highly customized form. Satisfying a wide range of users requires model modularity within such a tool. Cyclus is a fuel cycle simulator specifically designed to combat the lack of adaptability of previous generations of simulators. This is accomplished through an agent-based infrastructure and treating time discretely. The Cyclus kern...

Patient archetypes, physician archetypes, and tailored diabetes care.

Evidence-based diabetes care guidelines specify several important clinical goals. Reducing glycated hemoglobin (A1c) levels to less than 7%, blood pressure to less than 130/80 mm Hg, and lowdensity cholesterol levels to less than 100 mg/dL; using aspirin; and stopping smoking have each been shown to reduce microvascular or macrovascular complication of diabetes. About 70% of adults with diabete...
