concomitant research and education are invaluable for patient care and medical practice in trauma. elucidation of a foundation for the integration of training and service that can be combined with research in trauma is crucial, and every trauma case should be studied for this purpose. in this study, we investigated the unique features of trauma research to formulate a generic comprehensive mode...

We show that financial innovations that change the collateral capacity of assets in the economy can affect investment even in the absence of any shift in utilities, productivity, or asset payoffs. First we show that the ability to leverage an asset by selling non-contingent promises can generate over-investment compared to the Arrow-Debreu level. Second, we show that the introduction of naked C...

The Area Of Interest (AOI) model is a simple and popular technique used in many applications to determine the region which needs to be considered and processed for each entity (e.g., user). One example application is object visibility determination around user-representing avatars in virtual environments or networked games. There exist a number of variations of the AOI model and in our prior wo...

Activin A/TGFb, FGF, Wnt and BMP signalling are crucial for the self-renewal and early differentiation of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). However, the mechanism of how they coordinate to regulate these two processes is unclear. To address this question, we treated hESCs with graded concentrations of these growth factors and their inhibitors separately and in combination and carried out comp...

introduction: construction phase in industries is a dynamic process that is naturally and intrinsically dangerous and as it becomes more complicated, the accidents rate also increases. one should note that without considering a model, one could not obtain useful and reliable information and method to prevent accidents. therefore, to achieve useful methods for preventing accidents, it is desirab...

The electric power industry is uniquely vulnerable to natural and human-made risks such as disasters, climate change, cybersecurity. This study proposes a vulnerability assessment framework identify assess the associated with supply chain in United Kingdom causal relationship among them neutrosophic revised decision-making trial evaluation laboratory (NR-DEMATEL) method. We further introduce no...
