At a time when there was great attention and intense public controversy surrounding clinical (especially multinational) research, the 52nd general assembly of the World Medical Association (WMA) adopted the 5th revision of the Declaration of Helsinki (in October, 2000)-available at www.wma.net. These revisions are the most substantial adaptations since those adopted by the 29th WMA assembly in ...

Based on the two-level supply chain composed of suppliers and retailers, we assume that market demand is subject to an ARIMA(1, 1, 1). The supplier uses minimum mean square error method (MMSE), simple moving average (SMA) weighted (WMA) respectively forecast demand. According statistical properties stationary time series, calculate between Through simulation, compare forecasting effects three m...

Newer technologies such as warm mix asphalt (WMA) and reclaimed pavement (RAP) have gained international approval been considered appropriate solutions that support the sustainability goals of highway sector. However, both present some shortcomings. The lower mixing compaction temperatures WMA reduce binder aging bond between aggregates coating binder, thus resulting in less rutting resistance ...

A heuristic memetic algorithm for the minimum energy broadcasting problem in wireless ad hoc networks is discussed in this chapter. Broadcasting in wireless networks is different from broadcasting in wired networks because every node in wireless networks is equipped with omnidirectional antennas and several nodes are covered in a single transmission. Each node within the transmission range of t...

In this study, weighted model averaging (WMA) was applied to calibrating ensemble forecasts generated using Limited-area ENsemble prediction System (LENS). WMA is an easy-to-implement post-processing technique that assigns a greater weight the member forecast exhibits better performance; it used provide probabilistic visibility forecasting in form of predictive probability density function for ...
