Virtual prototyping (VP) technology has been regarded as a cost-effective way of envisaging real circumstances that enhance effective communication of designs and ideas, without manufacturing physical samples. In the construction field, although a large number of digital technologies have been developed to visualize the innovative architectural design, few VP systems have been developed to faci...

In critical illness, septic shock is a contributing factor in nearly half of all cases of acute kidney injury (AKI). Traditional approaches to prevention of organ dysfunction in early sepsis have focused on prevention of hypoperfusion by optimisation of systemic haemodynamics, primarily by fluid resuscitation. Fluid administration to a target central venous pressure (CVP) of 8 to 12 mmHg (12 to...

Lattice-based cryptography has recently emerged as a prime candidate for efficient and secure post-quantum cryptography. The two main hard problems underlying its security are the shortest vector problem (SVP) and the closest vector problem (CVP). Various algorithms have been studied for solving these problems, and for SVP, lattice sieving currently dominates in terms of the asymptotic time com...

Pressure monitoring systems influence the contour of the displayed wave-forms and, on occasion, can introduce significant artifact in the pressure traces. It is important to understand the technical details of invasive pressure monitoring to interpret better the information presented. Careful observation of the arterial pressure waveform can provide information about ventricular function, the a...

As mobile networks and devices being rapidly innovated, many new Internet services and applications have been deployed. However, the current implementation faces security, management, and performance issues, which are critical to the use in business environments. Migrating sensitive information, management facilities, and intensive computation to security hardened virtualized environment in the...

Film cooling has been widely applied to the highly efficient thermal protection of gas turbines. By using simplified lattice Boltzmann method (STLBM), a series large-scale simulations film are performed dig up mixing mechanism double rows with combination forward and backward jets at first attempt. The an upstream row jet downstream is considered. Reynolds number 4000. blowing ratio coolant fix...

The bounded distance decoding (BDD) is a fundamental problem in lattice-based cryptography which derived from the closest vector (CVP). In this paper, we adapt lattice enumeration with discrete pruning, burgeoning method for shortest (SVP), to solve BDD various cryptanalysis scenarios using direct method. We first transfer basic definition involved pruning technique SVP CVP, prove corresponding...

www.ccnonline.org hemodynamic indicators should be used.17-19 Although the CVP has been identified as a fixed target for resuscitation, debate remains about whether CVP, if used at all, should more appropriately be considered a stopping point.20,21 Use of PACs has decreased, particularly in nonsurgical ICUs.22 This decreased use indicates a need for alternative training methods, such as simulat...

BACKGROUND Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are at elevated risk of pneumococcal infection. A 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) was approved for protection against invasive disease and pneumonia caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae in adults. This study estimated the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) of vaccinating COPD patients ≥50 years old wit...

Genetic regulators and signaling pathways are important for the formation of blood vessels. Transcription factors controlling vein identity, intersegmental vessels (ISV) growth and caudal vein plexus (CVP) formation in zebrafish are little understood as yet. Here, we show the importance of the nuclear receptor subfamily member 1A (nr2f1a) in zebrafish vascular development. Amino acid sequence a...
