This document is part of a series of documents designed by the French Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine Society (SOFMER) and the French Federation of PRM (FEDMER). These documents describe the needs for or a specific type of patients; PRM care objectives, human and material resources to be implemented, chronology as well as expected outcomes. "Care pathways in PRM" is a short document design...

The primary respiratory mechanism (PRM) as manifested by the cranial rhythmic impulse (CRI), a fundamental concept to cranial osteopathy, and the Traube-Hering-Mayer (THM) oscillation bear a striking resemblance to one another. Because of this, the authors developed a protocol to simultaneously measure both phenomena. Statistical comparisons demonstrated that the CRI is palpably concomitant wit...

In this paper, we discuss the problem of multirobot coordination and propose an approach for coordinated multi-robot motion planning by using a probabilistic roadmap (PRM) based on adaptive cross sampling (ACS). The proposed approach, called ACS-PRM, is a samplingbased method and consists of three steps including Cspace sampling, roadmap building and motion planning. In contrast to previous app...

The current methods of effort estimation frequently take indirect account of the tasks of software performance engineering (SPE), and provide widely differing conclusions. In order to create transparency and acceptance for this task that has been growing in importance for years in the context of the life cycle of IT systems, an approach (PRM Performance Risk Model) is adopted that derives resou...

In this paper, we show that the projective Reed-Muller (PRM) codes form a family of locally correctable codes (LCC) in the regime of low query complexities. A PRM code is specified by the alphabet size q, the number of variables m, and the degree d. When d ≤ q−1, we present a perfectly smooth local decoder to recover a symbol by accessing γ ≤ q symbols to the coordinates fall on a line. There a...

Dengue virus co-circulates as four serotypes, and sequential infections with more than one serotype are common. One hypothesis for the increased severity seen in secondary infections is antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) leading to increased replication in Fc receptor-bearing cells. In this study, we have generated a panel of human monoclonal antibodies to dengue virus. Antibodies to the stru...

This paper presents a novel analysis of the probabilistic roadmap method (PRM) for path planning. We formulate the problem in terms of computing the transitive closure of a relation over a probability space and give a bound in terms of the number of intermediate points for some path and the probability of choosing a point from a certain set. Explicit geometric assumptions are not necessary to c...

The life cycle cost of a system is influenced by its maintainability. Maintainability is a design parameter, whose operational conditions can affect it significantly. Hence, the effects of these operational conditions should be quantified early in the design phase. The proportional repair model (PRM), which is developed based on the proportional hazard model (PHM), can be used to analyze mainta...
