AIMS AND METHOD To establish if participants with schizophrenia receiving depot antipsychotics had less insight than similar participants receiving oral atypical antipsychotics.We assessed the difference between these two groups. RESULTS Participants on oral antipsychotics had greater insight than those on depot antipsychotics (ITAQ, P=0.01). In the multiple regression analysis, only receiving ...

This paper studies the distribution of emergency relief for electric vehicles (EVs), which considers energy saving, multi-depot, and vehicle routing problems with time windows, named saving-oriented multi-depot problem windows (ESMDVRPTW). Our aim is to find routes EVs such that all shelter demands are fulfilled during their total cost traveled by fleet minimized. To this end, we formulate ESMD...

1 Introduction On the Dispatching Problem Federico Di Miele Giorgio Gallo October 18, 2000 Most often, space is the scarce resource in Bus Depots located in congested urban areas: vehicles arriving at the end of their trips are packed together in a rather small space. That implies that, when a vehicle has to leave to start a new trip, most often, other vehicles have to be moved to clear the way...

In this research the sensitivity analysis of the geometric parameters such as: length, thickness and width of a single link flexible manipulator on maximum deflection (MD) of the end effector and vibration energy (VE) of that point are conducted. The equation of motion of the system is developed based on Gibbs-Appel (G-A) formulation. Also for modeling the elastic property of the system the ass...

Research of travel distance on single - depot position in warehouse is tremendous. This study focuses more the effect two-depot order picking problem (OPP) by using concept traveling salesman (TSP) and exact method – Branch Bound (B\&B) algorithm. The total one-depot shorter than for double block warehouses difference less 5%. also compared with approximate methods SA TS which show that dif...

BACKGROUND Noncompliance is a major problem for patients with a psychotic disorder. Two important risk factors for noncompliance that have a severe negative impact on treatment outcomes are impaired illness insight and lack of motivation.

Long protocol of Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone-analougue (GnRH-a) can result in the formation of ovarian cyst by the transient initial stimulatory effect which increases the levels of both follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). These cysts require surgical drainage or result in poor ovarian response. Ovarian cyst formation can be prevented by taking oral contraceptive...
