Meso-scale structure existing in the form of particle clusters or strands in concurrent-up gas–solid two-phase flow has been extensively corroborated in experimental research. However, its significant effects on interfacial drag coefficient are seldom taken into account in current computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulations by using the two-fluid models. The energy-minimization multi-scale (E...

To ensure quality in medication management, the electronic medication management system (EMMS) must communicate and collaborate with other IT systems in the hospital, particularly the electronic patient record (EPR). To achieve those integrations is not purely a technical task, and the aim of our paper is to contribute to the development of a socio-technical understanding of integration in heal...

To investigate whether or not peripheral retinal defocus contributes to the refractive development of myopia by influencing the overall accommodative function. The steady-state accommodative stimulus response curve (ASRC) and the near-work induced transient myopia (NITM) after a near visual task were compared between different visual field conditions in emmetropes (EMMs), stable myopes (SMs) an...

All organisations have to keep improving different aspects of their business in order to survive in their business area. This improvement can be done in different ways, including as business and IT alignment. There exist different ways of performing business and IT alignment, such as applying EMMs. Enterprise Modelling (EM) is an area that has been built up with the intention of improving busin...

BACKGROUND Decentralisation is argued to promote community participation, accountability, technical efficiency, and equity in the management of resources, and has been a recurring theme in health system reforms for several decades. In 2010, Kenya passed a new constitution that introduced 47 semi-autonomous county governments, with substantial transfer of responsibility for health service delive...

We summarize the predictions of different models for total γγ crosssections. The experimentaly observed rise of σγγ with √ sγγ, faster than that for σp̄p, σγp is in agreement with the predictions of the Eikonalized Minijet Models as opposed to those of the Regge-Pomeron models. We then show that a measurement of σγγ with an accuracy of / 8 − 9%(6 − 7%) is necessary to distinguish among different...

Lincoln, Scedrov and Shankar proved undecidability of intuitionistic second order multiplicative commutative linear logic by embedding LJ2 into this logic. Emms did the same for intuitionistic second order non-commutative linear logic. Recently, Lafont and Scedrov demonstrated undecidability of classical second order multiplicative commutative linear logic. As for classical second order non-com...

Each organization should make progress to remain competent in its business. Enterprise Modeling (EM) helps in understanding the current and planning the future states, followed by proposing improvement actions in an enterprise. To receive support from EM, we should start a process of using an Enterprise Modeling Method (EMM), that likewise any other process needs using resources. As resources a...

The magnitude of accommodation microfluctuations increases in emmetropic subjects viewing low luminance targets or viewing a target through small artificial pupils. Larger microfluctuations reported in myopia may result from an abnormally large depth of focus (DoF). The effect of modulating the size of the DoF has not been investigated in myopic subjects and may help to explain the cause of the...

BACKGROUND Absence of cost-effectiveness (CE) analyses limits the relevance of large-scale nutrition interventions in low-income countries. We analyzed if the effect of invitation to food supplementation early in pregnancy combined with multiple micronutrient supplements (MMS) on infant survival represented value for money compared to invitation to food supplementation at usual time in pregnanc...
