dually flat finsler metrics form a special and valuable class of finsler metrics in finsler information geometry,which play a very important role in studying flat finsler information structure. in this paper, we prove that everylocally dually flat generalized randers metric with isotropic s-curvature is locally minkowskian.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Roadmap for Medical Research initiative, funded by the NIH Common Fund and offered through the Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) program, developed more than 60 unique models for achieving the NIH goal of accelerating discoveries toward better public health. The variety of these models enabled participating academic centers to experiment wit...

In order to ensure that technology supports business needs and that IT investments deliver the desired value, it is fundamental to define an Information System Architecture (ISA) and measure its accurateness to the business model and existing technologies. Thus, in this paper we are concern on evaluating ISA by measuring its qualities (relevant at enterprise level). Since software architecture ...

Assessing the health and condition of animals in their natural environment can be problematic. Many physiological metrics, including immunity, are highly influenced by specific context and recent events to which researchers may be unaware. Thus, using a multifaceted physiological approach and a context-specific analysis encompassing multiple time scales can be highly informative. Ecoimmunologic...

CONTEXT Guideline-discordant imaging to evaluate incident low back pain is common. OBJECTIVE We compared rates of guideline-discordant imaging in patients with low back pain in two care delivery systems with differing abilities to track care through an electronic health record (EHR), and in their patients' insurance status, to measure the association between these factors and rates of ordered...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between self-rated health (SRH) and the American Heart Association's (AHA) concept of ideal cardiovascular health (CVH) among female municipal employees. Studies about the association are scarce, even though AHA recommends to use SRH status surveys in clinical practice and research settings of CVH. DESIGN Cross-sectional study con...

In 2011, the Florida Asthma Coalition (FAC) began offering its Asthma-Friendly Childcare Center (AFCC) training online. This course teaches childcare center employees the fundamentals of effective asthma management. It covers basic asthma physiology, ways to recognize asthma attacks, techniques to help children experiencing attacks, and strategies to create healthy environments for asthmatics. ...

In this paper, we study the class of of C3-like Finsler metrics which contains the class of semi-C-reducible Finsler metric. We find a condition on C3-like metrics under which the notions of Landsberg curvature and mean Landsberg curvature are equivalent.
