PURPOSE Despite tremendous growth in the number of combined-training residency programs, little is known about their directorships, financing, recruitment, curricula, and attrition rates, and the practice patterns of graduates. The authors surveyed residency program directors from combined internal medicine-psychiatry (IM/PSY) and family medicine-psychiatry (FP/PSY) programs to provide initial ...

The current clinical practice advocates dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) for a year after ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), primarily owing to persistent thrombotic risk. novel COBRA PzF coronary stent was developed reduce thrombosis primary goal of the research compare efficacy and safety nanocoated stenting with one-month DAPT (dual anti-platelet therapy) against 12-month dr...

in a novel dual bed reactor fischer-tropsch synthesis was studied by using two diffrent cobalt catalysts. an alkali-promoted cobalt catalyst was used in the first bed of a fixed-bed reactor followed by a rutenuim promoted cobalt catalyst in the second bed. the activity, product selectivity and accelerated deactivation of the system were assessed and compared with a conventional single bed react...

In this paper, we study the local linear convergence properties of a versatile class of Primal–Dual splitting methods for minimizing composite non-smooth convex optimization problems. Under the assumption that the non-smooth components of the problem are partly smooth relative to smooth manifolds, we present a unified local convergence analysis framework for these Primal–Dual splitting methods....

Recent debate regarding dual-task performance has focused on whether costs result from limitations in central capacity, and whether central operations can be performed in parallel. While these questions are controversial, the dominant models of dual-task performance share the assumption that central operations are generic--that is, their interactions are independent of stimulus and response mod...

Physicians have embraced the concept of dual renin-angiotensin system (RAS) blockade hoping that it would translate into better blood pressure control as well as incremental nephroprotective and cardioprotective effects. With regard to blood pressure, a small additional fall with dual RAS blockade was observed when compared with that seen in monotherapy. Numerous studies have shown a reduction ...

Use of dual-processing has been widely touted as a strategy to reduce diagnostic error in clinical medicine. However, this strategy has not been tested among medical trainees with complex diagnostic problems. We sought to determine whether dual-processing instruction could reduce diagnostic error across a spectrum of experience with trainees undertaking cardiac physical exam. Three experiments ...

A Heyting algebra is a distributive lattice with implication and a dual $BCK$-algebra is an algebraic system having as models logical systems equipped with implication. The aim of this paper is to investigate the relation of Heyting algebras between dual $BCK$-algebras. We define notions of $i$-invariant and $m$-invariant on dual $BCK$-semilattices and prove that a Heyting semilattice is equiva...

Iterative Hard Thresholding (IHT) is a class of projected gradient descent methods for optimizing sparsity-constrained minimization models, with the best known efficiency and scalability in practice. As far as we know, the existing IHT-style methods are designed for sparse minimization in primal form. It remains open to explore duality theory and algorithms in such a non-convex and NP-hard prob...
