In this paper the influence of different parameters on equal channel angular pressing (EADAP) of titanium alloy is investigated. In the first step the most important parameters are selected, and then a table of experiments is designed using Taguchi method. After designing the table of experiments, all of the experiments are simulated using Abacus software and the results are optimized using Tag...

Waardegedreven zorg (WGZ) wordt gezien als een potentieel belangrijke strategie voor zorgorganisaties om kwalitatief hoogwaardige te bieden tegen relatief beperkte kosten. WGZ is meer concreet gericht op het maximaliseren van de (klinische en overige patiënt)uitkomsten per bestede euro. Wij bestuderen basis verkenning Nederlandstalige internationale literatuur in hoeverre deze momenteel ingebed...

As process technologies of integrated circuits become more complex and the industry moves toward advanced packaging like flip-chip and stacked die, present tools and techniques are having increasing difficulty in meeting failure analysis needs [1]. With gate sizes approaching 65 nm, “killer defects” may only be a few nanometers in size. In some cases, the defects are nonvisible, i.e. there is n...

This article summarizes the goals and the first results of the project CITE – from Counterexamples to Interactive Incremental Tracing of Errors – at the National Institute of Informatics (NII) in Tokyo, Japan. CITE aims at developing the fundamental methods for generating both comprehensive and comprehensible error reports based on model checking results. Model checking is a powerful and effici...

introduction: several radiotracers are being used for sentinel node mapping in patients with breast cancer. in the current study, we reported our experience with 99m-tc phytate for sentinel node mapping in mashhad university of medical sciences. methods: all breast cancer patients who underwent sentinel node mapping using 99m-tc phytate were included. all patients received intradermal peri-areo...

This article presents the author's personal reflections and experiences in providing case management for patients with end-of-life issues. Through case examples and practical guidelines, the reader will gain an insight into dealing with terminal states in the acute care setting. References were drawn from recent literature on the subject, and were the stimulus to this piece.

Empirische Untersuchungen sind aus der Softwareforschung nicht mehr wegzudenken. Explorative empirische Studien einschließlich kontrollierter Experimente vergleichen verschiedene Techniken, um festzustellen, ob bei Verwendung der Techniken Unterschiede in der Qualität von Software, der Bearbeitungszeit oder anderen Eigenschaften tatsächlich zu beobachten sind. Diese Studien bestätigen oder verw...

to review children with kawasaki disease admitted in 17-shahrivar hospital of rasht from 1999 to 2007. we reviewed retrospectively 64 children with kawasaki disease between 1999-2007 admitted in 17-shahrivar hospital of rasht. frequency distributions of variants including age, sex, season, clinical and laboratory manifestations, response to treatment and complications of the patients were abstr...
