Monitoring of tissue perfusion is an essential step in the management of acute circulatory failure. The presence of cellular dysfunction has been a basic component of shock definition even in the absence of hypotension. Monitoring of tissue perfusion includes biomarkers of global tissue perfusion and measures for assessment of perfusion in non-vital organs. The presence of poor tissue perfusion...

A number of citation indices have been proposed for measuring and ranking the research publication records of scholars. Some of the best known indices are designed to reward most highly those records x that strike some balance between impact I and productivity P ; a large number of publications with few citations per paper will not score well, nor will a very small number of heavily cited paper...

The Zagreb indices are the oldest graph invariants used in mathematical chemistry to predict the chemical phenomena. In this paper we define the multiple versions of Zagreb indices based on degrees of vertices in a given graph and then we compute the first and second extremal graphs for them.

The following paper presents current thinking and research on fit indices for structural equation modelling. The paper presents a selection of fit indices that are widely regarded as the most informative indices available to researchers. As well as outlining each of these indices, guidelines are presented on their use. The paper also provides reporting strategies of these indices and concludes ...

Recently two new degree concepts have been defined in graph theory: ev-degree and ve-degree. Also the evdegree and ve-degree Zagreb and Randić indices have been defined very recently as parallel of the classical definitions of Zagreb and Randić indices. It was shown that ev-degree and ve-degree topological indices can be used as possible tools in QSPR researches . In this paper we define the ve...

Contingency ranking in power system transient stability is a complicated and time consuming task. To prevail over this difficulty, various indices are used. These indices are based on the concept of coherency and three dot products of the system variables. It is well known that some indices work better than others for a particular power system. This paper introduces an innovative composite seve...

objectives the present study aimed to determine the effect of increased visitation time on physiological indices of the patients hospitalized in icus. materials and methods this clinical trial study was conducted in the icus of vail-e-asr hospital in arak city, iran. a total of 60 subjects were randomly assigned to the intervention and control groups with visitation time for 10 minutes 3 times ...
