a bstra ct   background: vascular access complications are a major cause of excessive morbidity and mortality in the dialysis population. moreover, there is not sufficient research regarding the factors correlated with vascular access complications among hemodialysis patients. this study aimed to evaluate the vascular access complications and their related factors such as nursing techniques and...

The aim of this paper is to analyse the effect introduced in the dynamics of a financial market when agents anticipate the occurrence of a correlation breakdown.What emerges is that correlation breakdowns can act both as a consequence and as a triggering factor in the emergence of financial crises rational bubbles. We propose a market with two kinds of agents: speculators and rational investors...

The study analyzed factors that motivate agricultural extension agents in Agricultural Development Programme of Abia State. Primary data were collected from 96 extension agents in Abia State, Nigeria who were selected using multi-stage random sampling technique. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, mean score, ordered logit and Spearman rank correlation. It was revealed that 58.3% o...

Short-term correlations in activity have been widely used as evidence to connect brainstem units with postganglionic sympathetic nerves. These may be detected by spike-triggered averaging, cross correlation or coherence analysis. The specificity of this type of evidence has been investigated by cross-correlating the activity of identified cutaneous vasoconstrictor postganglionic fibres with tha...

Recent results and interpretations are presented for the thermal minority game, concentrating on deriving and justifying the fundamental stochastic differential equation for the microdynamics. Market economics poses several problems of potential interest and challenge to statistical physics, involving the co-operative behaviour of many agents whose actions involve mutual frustration and disorde...

Hierarchical event correlation is very important for distributed monitoring network and distributed system operations. In many largescale distritbuted monitoring environments such as monitions senor networks for data aggregation, battlefield compact operations, and security events, an efficient hierarchical monitoring agent architecture must be constructed to facilitate event reporting and corr...

IMAIDS project (Intelligent Mobile Agent for Intrusion Detection System) is carried out by five 5th year students, Réginald Lips, Nicolas Carlier, Damien Molot, Jean-Marie Peschoux and Alexandre Luciani, from Epitech (European Institute of Technology; http: // www. epitech. net/ ), within the framework of their end of studies project. The purpose of this document is to present a part of our res...
