Abstract This paper analyzes the stability of international environmental agreements in a dynamic game when generation both renewables and fossil fuel based energy requires specialized capital stocks or technologies, respectively. Two contract types are considered. At an incomplete (a complete) contract, coalition coordinates only (both) CO $$_2$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Mat...

Several authors suggested that the clinical characteristics of incomplete presentation of Kawasaki disease are similar to those of complete presentation and that the 2 forms of presentation are not separate entities. Based on this suggestion, a diagnosis of incomplete Kawasaki disease in analogy to the findings of complete presentation is reasonable. Currently, the diagnosis of incomplete Kawas...

To determine if catheter ablation of the atrioventricular (AV) junction with radiofrequency energy can induce chronic incomplete (first- and second-degree) AV block to avoid the need for a permanent pacemaker, 20 closed-chest dogs were studied. Group 1 (10 dogs) received radiofrequency energy (750 kHz) with a fixed power setting (5 or 10 W) while increasing the pulse duration from 10 to 50 seco...

PURPOSE Evaluate the different types of conduction blocks obtained between inferior vena cava-tricuspid annulus (posterior isthmus) and between tricuspid annulus-coronary sinus ostium (septal isthmus) after radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation of atrial flutter (AFL). METHODS In 16 procedures, 14 patients (pts), 9 male, with type I AFL underwent RF ablation. Atrial activation around tricuspi...

This research is useful to improve the learning outcomes of students in class IVB ipas through puzzle media at SDN Peterongan. The used a Classroom Action Research (PTK) design and was conducted over two cycles. assessment shows that there an increase each cycle. In pre-cycle, who were complete 8 or percentage 33% while those not 16 incomplete 67%. cycle I, 67% incomplete. II, 20 83% 4 17% It c...

Largely motivated by Semantic Web applications, many highly scalable, but incomplete, query answering systems have been recently developed. Evaluating the scalability-completeness trade-off exhibited by such systems is an important requirement for many applications. In this paper, we address the problem of formally comparing complete and incomplete systems given an ontology schema (or TBox) T ....

Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP) is a discrete combinatorial problem and hence search algorithms belong to the main constraint satisfaction techniques. There exist local search techniques exploring complete but inconsistent assignments and depth-first search techniques extending partial consistent assignments towards complete assignments. For most problems it is impossible to explore compl...

In this work, the fretting crack nucleation of an aeronautical Ti-10V-2Fe-3Al titanium alloy is investigated. The main difficulty when designing complex industrial systems, especially helicopters rotor parts, lies in prediction assembly interfaces behaviour. Those areas can be subjected to loading characterized by a very confined multiaxial high stress gradient, leading fatigue nucleation. This...

BACKGROUND Near term infants are a main part of preterms. They are at higher risk for mortality and morbidity than term infants and could show a quite different development of tone and reflexes from them. The aim of the present study was to describe longitudinally, in a large sample of healthy near term infants, the development of the forward parachute reaction (FPR) and its correlation with th...
