A retrospective analysis of hospitalizations due to infection in 175 injection drug users was performed for the 3 years before and the period during their participation in an injection opiate maintenance program (mean duration during program, 2.6 years). Skin infections were the main reason for hospitalization. The injection opiate maintenance program did not reduce the incidence of infection l...

Minimal pediatric data describe hospitalization causes and associated costs for children who receive maintenance hemodialysis, and no data exist to evaluate methods to decrease hospitalization. In 1999, two common causes of hemodialysis patient hospitalization at Texas Children's Hospital were fluid overload/hypertension (FO/HTN) and vascular access thrombosis (VAT). Evaluated is the effect of ...

Physical education (PE) teachers carry out resistance training programs at the beginning of a school year so that children can do other tasks safely during the whole course. However, after a few weeks of detraining, children revert back to their initial strength level. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of a maintenance resistance training program on muscular strength in chil...

Program slicing is an automatic technique for determining which code in a program is relevant to a particular computation. Slicing has been applied in many areas, including program understanding, debugging, and maintenance. However, little attention has been paid to suitable interfaces for exploring program slices. We present an interface for program slicing that allows slicing at the statement...

The purpose of this paper is to describe the trends in aircraft maintenance program development during the last 50 years, including the reasons for the aircraft industry to change its view of maintenance. The major milestones and fundamental reasons for such development are also discussed and illustrated in relation to a flow diagram, which shows the logical and chronological order of the trend...

A set of technical, administrative and management activities are done in the life cycle of equipment, to be located in good condition and have proper and expected functioning. This is refers to be, maintenance management system (MMS). The framework and models of assessment in order to enhance effectiveness of a MMS could be proposed in two categories: qualitative and quantitative. In this resea...

This paper describes a method to automate the diagnosis of students' programming errors in programming learning environments. In order to recognize correct students' programs as well as to identify errors in incorrect student programs, programs are represented using an improved de­ pendence graph representation. The student pro­ gram is compared with a specimen program (also called a model prog...

In this paper, an interactive software maintenance environment is presented in which software maintenance tools, such as a syntax-directed editor, a pretty-printer, control and data flow analyzers, a data flow anomaly detector, a program slicer, and logical and performance ripple effect analyzers, are integrated together for effective software maintenance. The environment is based on a unified ...
