Background Different strategies for addressing the challenge of prioritizing elective patients efficiently and fairly have been introduced in Norway. In the time period studied, there were three possible outcomes for elective patients that had been through the process of priority setting: (i) high priority with assigned individual maximum waiting time; (ii) low priority without a maximum waitin...

OBJECTIVE To assess what portion size labeling format is most promising in helping consumers selecting appropriate soft drink sizes, and whether labeling impact depends on the size portfolio. METHODS An experimental study was conducted in fast-food restaurants in which 2 labeling formats (ie, reference portion size and small/medium/large labels) were compared to a control condition, and 2 siz...

This paper studies a numerical modeling approach to memory behavior by using bandwidth performance of a single compute-node on a Scyld Beowulf cluster. The CacheBench benchmark is used to obtain memory bandwidth values as it is implemented in simulated single and multiprocess execution on the Scyld cluster. The polynomial curvefitting linear regression is the modeling approach to represent the ...

We propose adaptive brush stroke generation for source images, using reference data. Colors used are formed by actual palette colors from artists. To create the palette, we have referred mostly to colors used in Van Gogh’s works and determined the color of brush strokes by transferring it to the most similar one, through comparing colors used in source images and the palette colors. Also, by re...

abstract the concept of armouring is used to discuss the coarse surface layer in rivers. selective erosion in an alluvial channel reach for which there is no upstream sediment supply can lead to formation of a layer coarser than the under laying material. this phenomenon inhibits sediment transport from the reach.numerical modeling of armouring river bed, provides an approach to simulation of t...

2 experiments examined the perceived relative distance produced by relative size in isolation. The hypothesis was that S assumes identity of physical size and interprets the difference in apparent size as a difference in distance. Experiment I examined this hypothesis by observing the effect of experimentally trained size assumptions on subsequent relative distance judgments. Experiment II used...

One of the actual problems of safe and reliable operation of NPP units with pressurized reactors is the development of tube plugging criterion for steam generator tubing. The basis for plugging criterion development is associated with existence of flaws with critical sizes at steam generator tubes. For effective application of this criterion the conditions of flaw instability should be analyzed...
