Schema evolution is the ability of the database to respond to changes in the real world by allowing the schema to evolve. The multidimensional conditionally evolving schema(MD-CES) is a conceptual model for conditional schema changes, which modify the schema of those tuples that satisfy the change condition. The MD-CES is lossless and preserves schemas, but has an exponential space complexity. ...

BACKGROUND Longitudinal associations between depressive symptoms and blood pressure have been inconsistent. Most studies have examined incident hypertension as an outcome, and few have examined effect modification. METHODS This study examined moderating influences of sex and age on coincident trajectories of depressive symptoms and blood pressure among 2,087 participants from the Baltimore Lo...

Capital–labour–energy Constant Elasticity of Substitution (CES) production functions and their estimated parameters now form a key part of energy–economy models which inform energy and emissions policy. However, the collation and guidance as to the specification and estimation choices involved with such energy-extended CES functions is disparate. This risks poorly specified and estimated CES fu...

Controlled environment systems (CES) include such diverse applications as buildings for indoor aquaculture, intensive livestock and laboratory animals. The challenges of pushing the design envelope for CES include our ability to quantify important engineering aspects of the surrounding environment such as external loads which affect design and operation, and the development of information gathe...

Snail-like transcription factors affect stem cell function through mechanisms that are incompletely understood. In the Caenorhabditis elegans neurosecretory motor neuron (NSM) neuroblast lineage, CES-1 Snail coordinates cell cycle progression and cell polarity to ensure the asymmetric division of the NSM neuroblast and the generation of two daughter cells of different sizes and fates. We have p...

OBJECTIVE For patients with advanced and/or incurable disease, clinicians are often called upon to formulate and communicate an estimate of likely survival duration. The objective of this study was to gain a deeper appreciation of this process by identifying and exploring the specific elements that may inform and/or impact a clinician's estimate of survival (CES). METHODS Semistructured inter...
