BACKGROUND Both supervised exercise (SE) and stenting (ST) improve functional status, symptoms, and quality of life compared with optimal medical care (OMC) in patients with claudication. The relative cost-effectiveness of these strategies is not well defined. METHODS AND RESULTS The Claudication: Exercise Versus Endoluminal Revascularization (CLEVER) study randomized patients with claudicati...

We interpret the Open Method of Coordination (OMC), recently adopted by the EU as a mode of governance in the area of social policy and other fields, as an imitative learning dynamics of the type considered in evolutionary game theory. The best-practise feature and the iterative design of the OMC correspond to the behavioral rule “imitate the best.” In a redistribution game with utilitarian gov...

In this work an approach is presented that extends the OpenModelica Compiler (OMC) with an event handling module and controls events separately from the integrator. The aim of this extension is to improve the event handling controller of the OMC to handle all equations synchronously, resulting in an efficient simulation of hybrid dynamical systems. This improvements of the event handling allows...

We have revisited the stellar content of OMC 2 and OMC 3 by means of MIR imaging and NIR photometry; in addition, we have extended the existing (sub)mm maps by a huge 1200 μm map obtained with SIMBA showing new sources and filamentary features for the first time at that wavelength. The MIR data reveal 43 new sources at N and Q which are partly associated with dense condensations at millimetre w...

The electron density ($n_{e^{-}}$) plays an important role in setting the chemistry and physics of interstellar medium. However, measurements $n_{e^{-}}$ neutral clouds have been directly obtained only toward a few lines sight or they rely on indirect determinations. We use carbon radio recombination far-infrared C$^{+}$ to measure gas temperature envelope integral shaped filament (ISF) Orion A...

A reliable theoretical description of double-beta-decay processes needs a possibility to test the involved virtual transitions against experimental data. Unfortunately, only the lowest virtual transition can be probed by the traditional electron-capture or βdecay experiments. In this article we propose that calculated amplitudes for many virtual transitions can be probed by experiments measurin...
