Approaches to formalisation of medical guidelines can be divided into model–centric and document–centric. While model–centric approaches dominate in the development of clinical decision support applications, document–centric, mark–up–based formalisation is suitable for application tasks requiring the 'literal' content of the document to be transferred into the formal model. Examples of such tas...

In most dynamic traffic congestion models, congestion tolls must vary continuously over time to achieve the full optimum. This is also the case in Vickrey's (1969) ‘bottleneck model’. To date, the closest approximations of this ideal in practice have so-called ‘step tolls’, in which the toll takes on different values over discrete time intervals, but is constant within each interval. Given the ...

This paper considers a dynamic model of industry location in which there is a tension between two forces. First, there is the agglomerating force of preference of intermediate input variety that tends to keep an industry at its original location. Second, other location factors matter and these tend to pull the industry in the direction of a new location. A crucial aspect of the model is that th...

carefully for the possibility of filarial infection giving rise to giant urticaria. Though as yet no relationship has been established between filariasis and giant urticaria, one important result of this investigation which lasted over the period 1926 to 1929 was the definite finding of the relationship of urticaria to filarial infection. During this period, we have observed several characteris...

Is the stock market boom a result of the baby boom? This paper develops an overlapping generations model in which a baby boom is modeled as a high realization of a random birth rate, and the price of capital is determined endogenously by a convex cost of adjustment. A baby boom increases national saving and investment and thus causes an increase in the price of capital. The price of capital is ...

Lipoblastoma is a rare benign tumor that occurs in infancy and early childhood, accounting to less than 1% of all childhood neoplasms. About 20 cases of mediastinal lipoblastoma have been reported in English literature. We report a rare case of mediastinal lipoblastoma in a 6-year-old boy. The tumor weighing 996 gm was successfully excised. Clinical manifestations, radiological and histopatholo...

Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com mixture of myeloid and erythroid cells. Generally myelolipomas occurs in adrenal gland, but it can be present in other sites also. In 1905, it was initially reported by Gierke and afterword’s Oberling coined the term “myelolipoma” in 1929 [1,2]. According to the available literature, Myelolipomas account for approximately 3 to 5% of all primary adre...

Facebook posts, YouTube videos, tweets and wooing political bloggers have become standard practice in marketing political campaigns. Research has demonstrated the effect of new media on a host of politically-related behavior, including political participation, knowledge acquisition, group formation and self-efficacy. Yet, issues related to media trust, media performance and candidate evaluation...

The recently constructed Lunin-Maldacena deformation of AdS5 ×S5 is known to support two inequivalent Penrose limits that lead to BPS pp-wave geometries. In this note, we construct new giant graviton solutions on these backgrounds. A detailed study of the spectra of small fluctuations about these solutions reveals a remarkably rich structure. In particular, the giants that we contruct fall into...

The baby-step giant-step algorithm, due to Shanks, may be used to solve the discrete logarithm problem in arbitrary groups. The paper explores a generalisation of this algorithm, where extra baby steps may be computed after carrying out giant steps (thus increasing the giant step size). The paper explores the problem of deciding how many, and when, extra baby steps should be computed so that th...
