The Registro Informatizado de Enfermedad TromboEmbólica (RIETE Registry) is an ongoing, international, prospective registry of consecutive patients with acute venous thromboembolism (VTE) designed to gather and analyze data on treatment patterns and outcomes in patients with acute VTE. It started in Spain in 2001, and 6 years later the database was translated into English with the aim to expand...

BACKGROUND Efforts to improve quality of care for patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are a national priority. To date, there have been few studies that have prospectively evaluated hospital quality improvement (QI) interventions. METHODS AND RESULTS Using hospitals in the National Cardiovascular Data Registry (NCDR) ACTION Registry-GWTG, a cluster randomized trial of the effectiv...

This paper describes the Advanced Forensic Format (AFF), which is designed as an alternative to current proprietary disk image formats. AFF offers two significant benefits. First, it is more flexible because it allows extensive metadata to be stored with images. Second, AFF images consume less disk space than images in other formats (e.g., EnCase images). This paper also describes the Advanced ...

We study the existential closures of several propositional languages L considered recently as target languages for knowledge compilation (KC), namely the incomplete fragments KROM-C, HORN-C, K/H-C, renH-C, AFF, and the corresponding disjunction closures KROM-C[∨], HORN-C[∨], K/H-C[∨], renH-C[∨], and AFF[∨]. We analyze the queries, transformations, expressiveness and succinctness of the resultin...

Current Web generation techniques are mainly hard-coded for predefined architectures of Web applications. Consequently, there is a gap between Web design models and the final implementation. We solve this problem, following with our approach the Model-Driven Architecture (MDA) principles of automatic generation of software systems based on model transformations. In this context, we present a tr...

In this study, two CCCT diagrams are drawn to be compared with a CCT diagram. The CCCT diagrams represent continuous cooling transformations in stress assisted state. The increased Md and Bd temperatures of CCCT diagrams were also compared with those of the CCT diagrams and the cause was investigated from both thermodynamic and metallurgical viewpoints. Thermodynamic examinations revealed that ...

this question has always been put forward in the mind of curious people why some countries have developed termed in spite of very few natural resources and facilities while other countries have not developed in spite of having more suitable resources and facilities. various factors such as economy, culture, geography, etc. are perhaps a background to answer this question, but there is a more im...

Background and Aim: Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic mucocutaneous disease, which is considered a precancerous condition. OLP is a multifactorial disease with no conclusive treatment. Timely diagnosis and treatment of oral lesions are necessary steps to prevent malignant transformations and severe complications of oral cancer. This study aimed to evaluate the frequency and severity of mali...

‎in this article we discuss examples of fractal $omega$-operads‎. ‎thus we show that there is an $omega$-operadic approach to explain existence of‎ ‎the globular set of globular setsfootnote{globular sets are also called $omega$-graphs by the french school.}‎, ‎the reflexive globular set of reflexive globular sets‎, ‎the $omega$-magma of $omega$-magmas‎, ‎and also the reflexive $omega$-magma of...

In this paper Lie’s formalism is applied to deduce classes of solutions of a nonlinear partial differential equation (nPDE) of second order with quadratic nonlinearity. The equation has the meaning of a field equation appearing in the formulation of kinetic models. Similarity solutions and transformations are given in a most general form derived to the first time in terms of reciprocal Jacobian...
