I/O automaton is a mathematical model used for synchronous distributed algorithms. I/O automaton is a state machine with very little structure, and with labeled transitions. IOA language was developed for this automata. This article presents the building of a simulator for I/O automata described in a dialect of this language. The use of the simulator is to generate traces of the automata, so th...

Aim: Accurate classification of diabetic foot ulcers is essential for inter-clinician communication, assessment of healing tendency, and determination of treatment options. Ulcer classification is performed by many different caregivers involved, but their agreement is unclear. The aim of this study was to assess the inter-observer agreement (IOA) of the most commonly used classification systems...

This information note examines the revision to the ETSU-R-97 method of deriving noise conditions for wind farm planning permissions from background noise measurements, as proposed in an article in the Acoustics Bulletin of the Institute of Acoustics (IoA). 1 We have used actual wind speed data to model the impact of the revision on noise conditions and likelihood of noise complaints from neighb...

The present study compared the neuroendocrine response in patients undergoing conventional cystectomy with two postoperative pain management techniques: epidural analgesia (EA) and intermittent opioid (IOA) on adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), cortisol, glucose levels for 48 hours. We hypothesize that appropriate analgesic regime can attenuate stress reaction. Forty-four scheduled radical wer...

Background: Activation of PI3 K signaling, mainly mediated via PI3Kδ,is a fundamental signaling cascade in lymphomas (Tarantelli et al, 2021). IOA-244 (IOA) is highly selective and potent PI3Kδ inhibitor with atypical non-ATP competitive activity (Johnson 2019) compared to FDA-approved inhibitors idelalisib, copanlisib duvelisib. IOA phase 1 as an immunomodulatory agent for patients melanoma, m...

Internet of Things must rely on their agent counterparts (IoA) in order to achieve shared and competing objectives. We have considered the production of sets of arguments that support different objectives at the same time. This will lead to myriad forms of contradictions. We present an account of automated argumentation system that facilitate contradictions using a system of social voting. We h...

This study seeks to identify the strategic and operational factors necessary for effective operation of International Olympic Academy (IOA), National Academies (NOAs). It applies Resource Dependence Theory (RDP) Inter-organizational Relationships (IOR) institutional environment NOAs. A set exploratory semi-structured interviews were conducted with key stakeholders from Committee (IOC), IOA, NOA...

BACKGROUND The combined treatment modality of ionizing radiation (IR) with inhibitors of angiogenesis (IoA) is a promising treatment modality based on preclinical in vivo studies using heterotopic xeno- and allograft tumor models. Nevertheless reservations still exist to translate this combined treatment modality into clinical trials, and more advanced, spontaneous orthotopic tumor models are r...
