BACKGROUND In determining whether clinical decision support (CDS) should be interruptive or non-interruptive, CDS designers need more guidance to balance the potential for interruptive CDS to overburden clinicians and the potential for non-interruptive CDS to be overlooked by clinicians. OBJECTIVE (1)To compare performance achieved by clinicians using interruptive CDS versus using similar, no...

The high-level contribution of this paper is a simulation-based comparison of two contrasting categories (minimum node size vs. stability) of connected dominating sets for mobile ad hoc networks. We pick the maximum density-based CDS (MaxD-CDS) and Node ID-based CDS (ID-CDS) to be representatives of the minimum node size-based CDS algorithms; the minimum velocity-based CDS (MinV-CDS) and the no...

We develop a completely new model for correlation of credit defaults based on a financially intuitive concept of business time similar to that in the Variance Gamma model for stock price evolution. Solving a simple equation calibrates each name to its credit spread curve and we show that the overall model can be calibrated to the market base correlation curve of a tranched CDO index. Once this ...

The rapid pace of innovation in the market for credit risk has given rise to a liquid market in synthetic collateralised debt obligation (CDO) tranches on standardised portfolios. To the extent that tranche spreads depend on default dependence between different obligors in the reference portfolio, quoted spreads can be seen as aggregating the market views on this dependence. In a manner reminis...

We study risk and return characteristics of CDOs using the market standard models. We find that fair spreads on CDO tranches are much higher than fair spreads on similarly-rated corporate bonds. Our results imply that credit ratings are not sufficient for pricing, which is surprising given their central role in structured finance markets. This illustrates limitations of the rating methodologies...

Objectives: Congenital duodenal obstruction (CDO) occurs in 1.2 per 10,000 live births and is frequently associated with other anomalies, most commonly cardiac. The aim of this study was to report important outcomes 1 year following surgical repair. Methods: This a prospective population-based using the British Association Paediatric Surgeons Anomaly Surveillance System. Cases were identified a...

in this work, the synthesis of porous structure of cadmium oxide with multilayered sheet-like morphology in nano-meter size using adipic acid as soft template by solvothermal/thermal decomposition process is reported. chemical analyses exhibited that the formation of porous sheet-like structure is originated from bidentate coordination mode of adipate units to cd-center. it was found that the c...

a novel complex of cadmium (ii) [cdl0.5(no3)(h2o)](1), l= n,n-bis (o-hydroxyacetophenone) ethylene diamine, have been synthesized as single crystal and nano size. compound 1 in nano size was obtained under sonochemical irradiation and has been characterized by ir, 1hnmr spectroscopy, x-ray powder diffraction (xrd) and scanning electron microscopy (sem). the gray single crystal of compound 1 has...

here, we report the synthesis of a schiff-base mixed-ligand complex of cadmium(іі) in bulk and nano-scales via the precipitation and sonochemical methods, respectively. the complex formula is [cd(3-bpdh)(3-bpdb)cl2]n (1), where the ligands are 3-bpdh = 2,5-bis(3-pyridyl)-3,4-diaza-2,4-hexadiene and 3-bpdb = 1,4-bis(3-pyridyl)-2,3-diaza-1,3-butadiene. the structure of mixed-ligand complex (1) wa...
