BACKGROUND Although numerous risk factors for adverse outcomes for older persons after an acute hospital stay have been : identified, a decision making tool combining all available information in a clinically meaningful way would be helpful for daily hospital practice. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the ability of the Method for Assigning Priority Levels for Acute Care (MAPLe-AC) to ...

Abstract By mitigating the negative effects of urbanization, urban trees contribute significantly to well-being citizens. However, themselves are also exposed stress that can influence tree condition and tree-herbivore interactions. Maple species ( Acer spp.) among most commonly planted in areas throughout North America Europe. Among these species, field, sycamore, Norway maple native Europe, b...

Closed-loop, model-based visual target recognition and tracking in extreme lighting conditions is expensive to develop and computationally resource-intensive. To reduce the development cycle, improve software reliability and reduce the computational requirements for such algorithms, we have adapted Maple code generation to the problem of automatically generating efficient implementations of fam...

It is well known that many varieties of Maple trees produce sugar containing sap in the springtime. The average concentration of Sucrose in Sugar Maple sap is estimated to be approximately 2% in concentration. The purpose of this study is to tap maples present on the St. Johns campus and obtain samples to compare their sugar concentrations to those of the sugar maples in the St. Johns Sugar bus...

In this paper we report measurements concerning the conductivity of water and ions and the interaction between the two in excised pieces of xylem of red maple stems under various conditions. We have also demonstrated that it is possible to detect the flow of solutions through the stems of maple by measuring the degree of interaction between the flow of water and ions. In this technique we apply...

Solving inequalities is a very important topic in computational algebra. This paper presents a new Maple package, IneqGraphics, for displaying the two-dimensional solution sets of several inequalities of real variables. The package also deals with inequalities involving complex variables by displaying the corresponding solutions on the complex plane. The package provides graphical solutions to ...

Abstract This paper takes the mathematical software Maple as the auxiliary tool to study four types of integrals. We can obtain the Fourier series expansions of these four types of integrals by using integration term by term theorem. On the other hand, we provide two examples to do calculation practically. The research methods adopted in this study involved finding solutions through manual calc...

We describe an interface between version 6 of the Maple computer algebra system with the PVS automated theorem prover. The interface is designed to allow Maple users access to the robust and checkable proof environment of PVS. We also extend this environment by the provision of a library of proof strategies for use in real analysis. We demonstrate examples using the interface and the real analy...

In this paper, we present a new and efficient algorithm for computing minimal polynomial of matrices over algebraic extension fields using the Gröbner bases technique. We have implemented our algorithm in Maple and we evaluate its performance and compare it to the performance of the function MinimalPolynomial of Maple 15 and also of the Bia las algorithm as a new algorithm to compute minimal po...

This study uses the mathematical software Maple for the auxiliary tool to evaluate two types of definite integrals. We can obtain the closed forms of these two types of definite integrals by using differentiation with respect to a parameter and Leibniz differential rule. At the same time, we provide some definite integrals to do calculation practically. The research methods adopted in this stud...
