laguerre function has many advantages such as good approximation capability for different systems, low computational complexity and the facility of on-line parameter identification. therefore, it is widely adopted for complex industrial process control. in this work, laguerre function based adaptive model predictive control algorithm (ampc) was implemented to control continuous stirred tank rea...

This paper serves as a corrigendum to the paper titled Application of Pettis integration to delay second order differential inclusions appearing in EJQTDE no. 88, 2012. We present here a corrected version of Theorem 3.1, because Proposition 2.2 is not true. 1 Correction In the above article, Proposition 2.2 is not true since the normed space P 1 E ([0, 1]) is not complete. Consequently, to corr...

Background: Cardiac output (CO) is the total volume of blood pumped by the heart per minute and is a function of heart rate and stroke volume. CO is one of the most important parameters for monitoring cardiac function, estimating global oxygen delivery and understanding the causes of high blood pressure. Hence, measuring CO has always been a matter of interest to researchers and clinicians. Sev...

background: investigators frequently encounter continuous outcomes with plenty of values clumped at zero called semi-continuous outcomes. the gensini score, one of the most widely used scoring systems for expressing coronary angiographic results, is of this type. the aim of this study was to apply two statistical approaches based on the categorization and original scale of the gensini score to ...

The authors wish to retract the article titled "NRH:Quinone Oxidoreductase 2 and NAD(P)H:Quinone Oxidoreductase 1 Protect Tumor Suppressor p53 against 20S ProteasomalDegradation Leading to Stabilization andActivation of p53," whichwas published in the June 1, 2007, issue of Cancer Research (1). As a result of an error, the p53 and NQO2 panels in Fig. 6A were reused from Fig. 3B of the article t...

The article demonstrates management discourse without masculine subtexts. In two organizations in the Norwegian state administration management was talked about either as a truly gender neutral activity or as a “feminine” activity. Managers’ primary tasks were to motivate team members and help them develop their capacities, it was stated. Further, team management was described either by the use...

The present article investigates explanations for gendered trends in Physics and Engineering access, reporting findings from a large-scale study funded by the UK Economic and Social Research Council and drawing primarily on data from interviews with 132 15-16 year-old adolescents and their parents. Survey results in our study and elsewhere show strong gender disparities in anticipated pursuit o...
