During the last several years, environmental impact assessment, regional or spatial planning, and environmental balancing seem to develop similarities, e.g. joint basic methodological approaches like the use of environmental indicators, the focus on same environmental goods like air, water, soil, flora/fauna, etc. (Lenz, 1999). Especially Geographical Information System (GIS)-based software sys...

Abstract Lightning has been directly observed or inferred on all giant planets, generally accepted to be occurring in their water clouds. However, much as Earth both cloud–cloud and cloud–ground lightning, this does not mean flashes occur a narrow altitude range: Jupiter, the Galileo spacecraft detected lightning apparently below cloud base, explicable due precipitation, Juno SRU small far abov...

Our industry commonly expends a great deal of energy on determining the concentrations and how to remove CO2 and H2S from sour natural gas in the design of a gas treating and processing facility. Their presence normally drives the size and cost of much of the facility. However, troublesome trace contaminants such as  mercury (Hg),  carbonyl sulfide (COS),  mercaptans (RSH),  and aromatics (...

Recurrent neural networks (RNNs) are (NN) designed for time-series applications. There is a growing interest in running RNNs to support these applications on edge devices. However, have large memory and computational demands that make them challenging implement Quantization used shrink the size needs of such models by decreasing weights activation precision. Further, delta method increases spar...

BACKGROUND The majority of stroke patients are discharged home dependent on informal caregivers, usually family members, to provide assistance with activities of daily living (ADL), including bathing, dressing and toileting. Many caregivers feel unprepared for this role and this may have a detrimental effect on both the patient and caregiver. OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether or not a structured,...

One hundred thirty-nine infants and small children less than 48 months old were studied during the first 72 hours after intracardiae surgery for a variety of lesions. The hospital mortality rate was 19.4% (27 patients); 16 of those dying succumbed from acute cardiac failure. Deaths from acute cardiac failure were commonest in patients with low cardiac index (CI), and a continuous probability cu...

STROKE IS A COMMON DEBILITATING CONDITION IN THE OLDER POPULATION AND ACCOUNTS FOR A LARGE NUMBER OF ACUTE HOSPITAL ADMISSIONS. Chronic functional and mental disabilities are frequent sequelae of stroke, preventing patients with stroke from returning home. Because of this, patients with stroke are often hospitalized for prolonged periods in acute care hospitals and frequently must undergo furth...
