Production of chronic complete atrioventricular block (CAVB) was attempted by two closed-chest methods in dogs. One is a modified electrical ablation method (EA), and the other is a new catheter technique to inject anhydrous alcohol into the subendocardium of the AV junction (alcohol method). EA was performed in 6 dogs and the alcohol method in 10 dogs. Chronic CAVB was produced in 5 dogs (83%)...

enterprise architecture (ea) is a discipline for understanding, engineering, and managing different components of an enterprise and their interrelationships. moreover, because the risk and impact of ea are pervasive across the enterprise, it is critical to perform an architecture assessment before making any decision about choosing a scenario. this paper provides an approach based on fuzzy anal...

Objectives: Endotoxin (ET) is a structural molecule of the Gram-negative bacilli extracellular membrance, which activates targeted cells including macrophages and neutrophils, and causes septic shock. But it is known that the conventional ET measurement method has many problems; for example, a discrepancy between plasma ET concentration and clinical manifestration in the septic patients has bee...

The first APN polynomials EA-inequivalent to power functions have been constructed in [7, 8] by applying CCZ-equivalence to the Gold APN functions. It is a natural question whether it is possible to construct APN polynomials EA-inequivalent to power functions by using only EA-equivalence and inverse transformation on a power APN function: this would be the simplest method to construct APN polyn...

Enterprise architecture (EA) management is today a critical success factor for enterprises that have to survive in a continually changing environment. The embracing nature of the management subject and the variety of concrete goals that enterprises seek to pursue with EA management raises the need for management functions tailored to the specific demands of the using organization. The majority ...

The use of patterns and pattern languages in enterprise architecture (EA) is a relatively novel concept. Although both the concepts of patterns and EA are over 30 years old, the notion of design patterns is hardly applied to EA. There is a lack of pattern collections specifically devoted to EA: only a small number of patterns and pattern collections specifically aimed at enterprise architecture...

AIM Hypervascular intracranial tumors may cause serious bleeding in surgery. Though pre-operative endovascular embolization of tumor is a widely accepted method, sometimes despite embolization, an effective and safer intraoperative hemostatic technique is needed to prevent or at least decrease the massive bleeding from the tumors. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the ethyl...

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) image processing can provide information about the uterine cavity structure, such as endometrial surface roughness, which is important for diagnosis of lesions. The accurate segmentation OCT images a key step processing. We proposed an EA-UNet-based model that uses U-Net network structure with multi-scale attention mechanism to improve accuracy images. E(ECA-C...

There exist optimization problems with the target objective, which is to be optimized, and several extra objectives, which can be helpful in the optimization process. The EA+RL method is designed to control optimization algorithms which solve problems with extra objectives. The method is based on the use of reinforcement learning for adaptive online selection of objectives. In this paper we inv...
