Data has been collected randomly from respondent’s based on series questionnaire designed gauge their level, behavior, awareness and general attitude towards agents. The data were treated with factor analysis, where agent’s proactive approach, selling skills, customer re...

Despite virtual characters from 3D videogames – also called bots – seem to be close relatives of intelligent software agents, the mechanisms of agent reasoning are only rarely applied in videogames. Why is this? One possible reason is the incompatibility between representations used by agent decision making systems (DMS) and videogame worlds, as well as different handling of these representatio...

BACKGROUND Surgical interventions in patients on long term vitamin K antagonist (VKA) treatment create a dilemma; periprocedural interruption of anticoagulation raises the risk of thrombosis, while continuation raises the risk of bleeding. The anticoagulation- free interval is minimized by "bridging" with parenteral anticoagulants. The efficacy and safety of bridging with low molecular weight h...

BACKGROUND For endoscopic interventions, heparin bridging therapy is recommended in patients who are at high risk from interruption of antithrombotic therapy. Although heparin bridging has been reported to be effective in preventing thrombosis, several reports have raised concerns about increased risk of bleeding. The aim of this study was to clarify complications of hepari bridging therapy in ...

In this article, we study the conditions under which having ties that span organizational boundaries (bridging ties) are conducive to the generation of innovations. Whereas previous research has shown that bridging ties have a positive impact on innovative performance, our analysis of 276 R&D scientists and engineers reveals that there are no advantages associated with bridging per se. In contr...

in this paper, a formal model for antivirus update agent system is presented based on mobile agent technology and predicate/transition petri nets. the mobile agent system contains two mobile agents called dca and una. it sends out agents to update antivirus on client computers in a network. each agent takes on a specified responsibility. first, dca roams through the network and check the last d...

results the degree of systolic compression was found to be correlated with the depth of the mb. however, there was no correlation between the length of the mb and the degree of systolic compression. conclusion the systolic compression of the mb was influenced by the depth of the tunneled segment, not by its length. background myocardial bridging (mb) is a congenital anomaly in which a segment o...

In recent years, core–shell composite particles with organic polymer as the core and inorganic SiO2 shell have attracted widespread attention prompted robust scientific endeavors. The encapsulation of can endow a variety important properties, is great significance for synthesis multi–functional materials, having favorable application prospects in coating, polishing, medical, optical, magnetic, ...
