Abstract This is a methodological study for the development and validation of Multidimensional Instrument Evaluating Implementation Psychosocial Care Network (IMAI-RAPS) in Minas Gerais (MG)/Brazil. The was carried out three stages: evaluability study, IMAIRAPS, application Delphi Technique content appearance questions. analysis official documents, literature review structured engagement with p...

Redundancy allocation problems (RAPs) have attracted much attention for the past thirty years due to its wide applications in improving the reliability of various engineering systems. Since RAP is an NP-hard problem and exact methods are only applicable to small instances, various heuristic and meta-heuristic methods have been proposed to solve it. In the literature, most studies on RAPs have b...

In ultra-dense networks (UDNs), distributed radio access points (RAPs) are configured into small virtual cells around mobile users for fair and high-throughput services. In this correspondence, we evaluate the performance of user-centric joint transmission (JT) in a UDN with a number of virtual cells. In contrast to existing cooperation schemes, which assume constant RAP transmit power, we cons...

The standard approach to the evaluation of funds assumes a normal return distribution and uses the variance as a measure of the funds risk. A few characteristics of hedge funds, such as the remuneration mechanism of the portfolio manager, make this assumption unacceptable and the traditional approach of Risk Adjusted Performance (RAP) must be revised before applying it to hedge funds. Some auth...

OBJECTIVES The aims of this study were to examine and compare the predictive validity of 4 risk assessment scales used for the prediction of pressure ulcer (PrU) development and to identify risk factors. DESIGN Cross-sectional descriptive study. SETTING A general hospital in Sweden. PARTICIPANTS Patients (all aged ≥18 years) admitted to medical, surgical, orthopedic, oncology, and rehabil...

Receptor-associated prorenin system (RAPS) refers to the pathogenic mechanisms whereby prorenin binding to (pro)renin receptor [(P)RR] dually activates tissue renin-angiotensin system (RAS) and RAS-independent intracellular signaling through the receptor. Although we found significant involvement of angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1-R) in intraocular inflammation and neovascularization, centr...

In greening maize mesophyll, circular dichroism (c.d.) revealed the early formation of protein-chlorophyll complexes, followed by unorganized chlorophyll. The intense c.d. [Gregory & Raps (1974) Biochem. J. 142, 193-201] appeared later still, whereas membrane-membrane contact (stacking), measured from electron micrographs, appeared much earlier. Isolated grana, which still showed stacking, lost...

The problem addressed in this paper is the non-preemptive unrelated parallel machine scheduling problem with the objective of minimizing the makespan. Machine-dependent and job sequence-dependent setup times are considered, all jobs are available at time zero, and all times are deterministic. This is a NP-hard problem and in this paper, optimal solutions are found for small problems only. For l...

Objective: Amyloidosis is disorder of various etiologies in which abnormally folded fibrillary protein deposits with more than thirty forms infiltrate into extracellular spaces affected organs. Renal involvement clinically characterized by decreased estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and proteinuria. The aim present study was to classify grade renal amyloidosis cases using amyloid prog...
