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...

Cet article porte sur le mCtabolisme de 1’Cnergie et l’utilisation des substrats dans la sous-alimentation. I1 s’intkresse particulikrement aux Ctudes sur l’homme, bien que des Ctudes sur l’animal soient Cgalement prises en compte, avec des distinctions entre le jeiine aigu (jusqu’h 4 jours), des pCriodes plus longues de sous-alimentation et la dCficience chronique en Cnergie (comme dans la sou...

A study was conducted to evaluate the extent and dynamics of whole body protein deposition and changes in chemical and physical body composition after a period of AA intake restriction in growing barrows with medium lean tissue growth potentials. Forty Yorkshire barrows (initial BW 14.4 +/- 1.6 kg) were scale-fed at 75% of estimated voluntary daily DE intake up to 35 kg of BW and assigned to 1 ...

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...
