Web Browser is the most common tool used for surfing the Internet. With personal computer users growing by leaps and bounds, the use of browsers is also increasing at a similar rate. Outdated versions of browsers have security flaws and hence represent a significant threat to the cyber infrastructure. Yet many users do not keep their browsers updated. Given the fact that voluntariness of action...

Given the complexity of global health crises such as COVID-19 pandemic, it is typical for crisis-focused interventions to have a multiplicity impacts. Some these impacts may yield positive or negative externalities priorities that do not same perceived urgency. The interplay between prevention (a high priority, urgency issue) and non-communicable disease (NCD) low provides good case in point. B...

PURPOSE Accurately measuring urinary urgency is important for diagnosing overactive bladder (OAB) and quantifying improvements in treatment outcome. Various methods have been recommended for evaluating urinary urgency, but these methods assess individual perceptions and preferences. To overcome the subjectivity in measuring urinary urgency, we evaluated the relationship between uroflowmetric pa...

Mainstream literature favours a number of widespread ideas which are essentially flawed and block the public perception of reality. One is that material production can be conceived outside the physical world, as result of the sole combination of two production factors, capital and labour, unconstrained by physical laws. Another is that environmental scarcity and impacts are external to the econ...

Results There were 1390 negative crossmatch and 130 positive crossmatch cases. There was no difference in overall graft survival, although early survival rates were lower in the positive crossmatch group, with the maximum difference at 6 months: 0.76 (95% confidence interval, 0.74-0.78) for a negative crossmatch versus 0.68 (95% confidence interval, 0.61-0.77) for a positive crossmatch. These d...

Adding real time information to Petri net models often leads to undecidability of classical verification problems such as reachability and boundedness. For instance, models such as Timed-Transition Petri nets (TPNs) [22] are intractable except in a bounded setting. On the other hand, the model of TimedArc Petri nets [26] enjoys decidability results for boundedness and control-state reachability...

BACKGROUND Due to emergency care overcrowding, right care at the right place and time is necessary. Uniform triage of patients contacting different emergency care settings will improve quality of care and communication between health care providers. OBJECTIVE Validation of the computer-based Netherlands Triage System (NTS) developed for physical triage at emergency departments (EDs) and telep...
