OBJECTIVE To evaluate the feasibility of day and night closed-loop insulin delivery in adults with type 1 diabetes under free-living conditions. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Seventeen adults with type 1 diabetes on insulin pump therapy (means ± SD age 34 ± 9 years, HbA1c 7.6 ± 0.8%, and duration of diabetes 19 ± 9 years) participated in an open-label multinational three-center crossover study....

the rank-k numerical range has a close connection to the construction of quantum error correction code for a noisy quantum channel. for noisy quantum channel, a quantum error correcting code of dimension k exists if and only if the associated joint rank-k numerical range is non-empty. in this paper the notion of joint rank-k numerical range is generalized and some statements of [2011, generaliz...

Ion current fluctuations occurring within open and closed states of a large-conductance locust potassium channel (BK channel) were investigated for the existence of correlation. Both the time series, extracted from the ion current signal, were studied by the autocorrelation function and the detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA) methods. The persistent character of the short- and middle-range cor...

We present a disposable, normally closed, non-contact dispensing valve for the sub-μL range. The miniaturized solenoid valve (diameter: 8 mm, height: 27.25 mm) is compatible to standard Luer-Lock interfaces. A highly dynamic actuation principle enables opening times down to 1 ms. The dispensing performance was evaluated for water (η = 1.03 mPas) and a 66% (w/w) glycerol/water solution (η = 16.9...

The Available Bit Rate (ABR) service class has been de ned by the ATM Forum. Closed-loop ratebased congestion control has been adopted by the ATM Forum as the standard approach for supporting ABR service in ATM networks. This paper examines congestion control mechanisms for ABR service and presents fundamental performance results for rate-based tra c management schemes under varying available b...

The Correlated Basis Function theory (CBF) provides a theoretical framework to treat on the same ground mean–field and short–range correlations. We present, in this report, some recent results obtained using the CBF to describe the ground state properties of finite nuclear systems. Furthermore we show some results for the excited state obtained with a simplified model based on the CBF theory

The main purpose of this paper is to introduce and study new classes of soft closed sets like soft regular generalized b-closed sets in soft topological spaces (briefly soft rgb-closed set) Moreover, soft rg-closed, soft gpr-closed, soft gb-closed, soft gsp-closed, soft g$alpha$-closed, soft g$alpha$b-closed, and soft sgb-closed sets in soft topological spaces are introduced in this paper and w...

We explore different variants of the random phase approximation to the correlation energy derived from closed-shell ring-diagram approximations to coupled cluster doubles theory. We implement these variants in range-separated density-functional theory, i.e., by combining the long-range random phase approximations with short-range density-functional approximations. We perform tests on the rare-g...

An a posteriori stopping rule connected with monitoring the norm of second residual is introduced for Brakhage's implicit nonstation-ary iteration method, applied to ill-posed problems involving linear operators with closed range. It is also shown that for some classes of equations with such operators the algorithm consisting in combination of Brakhage's method with some new discretization sche...
