Temperature and brain death determination: need for updated criteria

As noted by Greer and colleagues, the birth of the brain death concept dates back to the 1959 report by Mollaret and Goulon on 23 comatose patients. Since that time, new and better criteria for the determination of brain death have developed, as well new technologies that assess brain function, including the use PET imaging to confirm the clinical diagnosis for brain death. Although other new a...

Optimal Centering, Tolerancing, and Yield Determination via Updated Approximations and Cuts

Absrmer-This paper presents a new approach to optimal design centering, the optimal assignment of paramete-r tolerances and the determination and optimization of production yield. Based upon muftidimensionaf linear cuts of the tolerance orthotope and uniform distributions of outcomes between tolerance extremes in the orthotope, exact formulas for yield and yield sensitivities, witb respect to d...

ODD Updated

An update to Volker Grimm and colleagues' Overview, Design concepts and Details (ODD) protocol for documenting individual and agent based models (I/ABM) has recently been published in Ecological Modelling. This renames the 'State variables and scales' element to 'Entities, state variables and scales', and the 'Input' element to 'Input data', introduces two new Design concepts ('Basic principles...
