In this paper, a non-probabilistic Chebyshev convex method (CCM) for the transient dynamics of dual-disk rotor system with uncertain parameters is proposed. The dynamic equation derived by finite element (FEM), and deterministic response obtained. Then CCM used to obtain responses system. amplitude ranges characteristics are quite close calculation results Monte Carlo simulation (CMCS), which v...

BACKGROUND The number of patients with chronic diseases is increasing which poses a challenge to healthcare organisations. A proactive, structured, and population-orientated approach is needed: the chronic care model (CCM) provides such a framework. AIM To assess organisational conditions for providing structured chronic care according to the CCM across different healthcare systems. DESIGN ...

Study Design: the authors report on a clear cell meningioma (CCM) of the sacrum revealed 17 years after a removal of a spinal lesion. A review of 29 spinal CCM previously reported was done. Objective: To focus on clinical and biological behaviour of CCM. Summary of Background Data: CCM is a rare subtype characterrized by its inordinately aggressive clinical course despite its benign appearance....

Modeling cellular metabolism is fundamental for many biotechnological applications, including drug discovery and rational cell factory design. Central carbon metabolism (CCM) is particularly important as it provides the energy and precursors for other biological processes. However, the complex regulation of CCM pathways has still not been fully unraveled and recent studies have shown that CCM i...

Plane waves and Confined Localized Orbitals have been used to construct a new mixed basis for electronic structure calculations. Confinement is a mathematical transformation which smoothly suppresses the tails of the atomic orbitals. This eliminates multicentre integrals in the expressions for the matrix elements. Using self-consistent potentials supplied by the linear muffin tin orbital method...

Determining the fault location using conventional impedance based distance relay in the presence of FACTS controllers is a challenging task in a transmission line. A new distance protection method is developed to locate the fault in a transmission line compensated with STATCOM with simple calculations. The proposed protection method considers the STATCOM injected/absorbed current to correct the...

In infants and children, anomalous origin of the left coronary artery (ALCA) from the pulmonary artery may be difficult to distinguish from congestive cardiomyopathy (CCM) of other causes. We performed thallium-201 myocardial perfusion imaging in seven children with ALCA and in nine with CCM to study the usefulness of this technique in distinguishing between these lesions. Localized abnormaliti...

Hemoglobin is a promising drug carrier but lacks extensive investigation. The chemical conjugation of hemoglobin and drugs is costly and complex, so we have developed curcumin-loaded hemoglobin nanoparticles (CCM-Hb-NPs) via self-assembly for the first time. Using the acid-denaturing method, we avoid introducing denaturants and organic solvents. The nanoparticles are stable with uniform size. W...

Convergent Cross-Mapping (CCM) has shown high potential to perform causal inference in the absence of models. We assess the strengths and weaknesses of the method by varying coupling strength and noise levels in coupled logistic maps. We find that CCM fails to infer accurate coupling strength and even causality direction in synchronized time-series and in the presence of intermediate coupling. ...

BACKGROUND A novel descriptor (Complex Correlation Measure (CCM)) for measuring the variability in the temporal structure of Poincaré plot has been developed to characterize or distinguish between Poincaré plots with similar shapes. METHODS This study was designed to assess the changes in temporal structure of the Poincaré plot using CCM during atropine infusion, 70° head-up tilt and scopolam...
