Abstract The Optimised Spacing Delivery (further referred to as OSD) tool has the objective of calculating necessary time spacing between two consecutive departing aircraft in order fulfil all required and separation constraints. OSD, developed SESAR 2020 Wave 1 [1] is based on analytical models [2] predict trajectory speed profiles. use this by Air Traffic Controller supports safe, consistent ...

The ordered statistics-based list decoding techniques for linear binary block codes of small to medium block length are investigated. The construction of a list of the test error patterns is considered. The original ordered-statistics decoding (OSD) is generalized by assuming segmentation of the most reliable independent positions (MRIPs) of the received bits. The segmentation is shown to overc...

UNLABELLED Obstructive Sleep Disorders (OSD) affect mostly the pediatric population. Within this group, its main etiology is adenotonsillar hyperplasia, being adenoidectomy or adenotonsillectomy the best treatment option for quality of life improvement. AIM To asses quality of life of children with OSD after adenoidectomy/adenotonsillectomy. METHOD A prospective study was carried out with 4...

OBJECTIVES To verify the diagnostic value of lumbosacral midline cutaneous lesions in asymptomatic children to detect occult spinal dysraphism (OSD) and to propose a practical approach for clinical investigations with respect to the type of cutaneous lesions observed. DESIGN Retrospective study of 54 children referred to the Department of Pediatric Dermatology between 1990 and 1999 for congen...

Osgood-Schlatter disease (OSD) is a condition affecting human adolescents in which there is partial separation of bone fragments from the tibial tuberosity at the site of insertion of the patellar ligament to the tibial tuberosity. Tensile trauma seems to be the most likely aetiology. Clinical signs in people consist of swelling and pain at the proximal part of the tibial tuberosity and around ...

Robustness is the ability of a multiagent system to recover from failures and exceptions. In particular, the system should be able to recover from task and agent failures and the failure of any single agent or group of agents should allow the graceful, predictable degradation of performance. Hence, designing robust systems is a critical challenge facing many multiagent designers. Organizational...

OBJECT The authors performed spinal ultrasonography and/or magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in 20 consecutive newborns with spinal strawberry nevi. METHODS In 15 patients the strawberry nevi were isolated and in five they were associated with other cutaneous markers of occult spinal dysraphism (OSD). In four of five patients with additional cutaneous markers, but in none of those without, MR i...

Abstmct4rganiz&ion has emerged as a key concept for structuring the activities of collections of problem-solvers. Orgunization self-design (OSD) has been studied as an adaptive approach to long term, strategic work-allocation and load-balancing. In this paper, we introduce two new reorganization primitives, conposition and decomposition. They change the population of agents and the distribution...

BACKGROUND Reduced cardiovascular mortality and morbidity have been shown in persons adhering to Mediterranean-inspired diets (MIDs). Although the underlying mechanisms of this association are poorly understood, the importance of increasing dietary amounts of polyunsaturated fatty acids of the n-3 series has been emphasized. OBJECTIVE We investigated whether a MID provided to healthy subjects...
