In this paper we present a method for defining a dynamic risk measure from a static risk measure, by backwards iteration. We apply the method to the CTE risk measure to construct a new, dynamic risk measure, the iterated CTE or ICTE. We show that the ICTE is coherent, consistent and relevant according to the definitions of Riedel (2003), and we derive formulae for the ICTE for the case where th...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS We compared the effectiveness and morbidity of microdebrider-assisted total intracapsular tonsillectomy (ICTE) with conventional extracapsular tonsillectomy (ECTE) in adults with chronic or recurrent tonsillitis. STUDY DESIGN Prospective randomized surgical trial. METHODS Adult patients with recurrent or chronic tonsillitis who underwent tonsillectomy between July 2010...

Modern cancer therapies have resulted in prolonged survival and decreased mortality for many types of cancer. Consequently, patients with concomitant cardiovascular disease (CVD) present prior to diagnosis cancer, resulting from various forms therapy, or developing after remission are at higher risk development cardiovascular-associated morbidity mortality. Management CVD, particularly structur...

Vapour recompression system has been used to enhance reduction in energy consumption and improvement in energy effectiveness of distillation columns. However, the effects of certain parameters have not been taken into consideration. One of such parameters is the column heat loss which has either been assumed to be a certain percent of reboiler heat transfer or negligible. The purpose of this st...

This article describes an ICT-based and capability-driven model for assessing ICT in education capabilities and maturity of schools. The proposed model, called ICTE-MM (ICT in School Education Maturity Model), has three elements supporting educational processes: information criteria, ICT resources, and leverage domains. Changing the traditional and exclusive focus on ICT, five Leverage Domains ...
