representation and modeling of economic uncertainty is addressed by different modeling methods, namely stochastic variables and probabilities, interval analysis, and fuzzy numbers, in particular triple estimates. fo-cusing on discounted cash flow analysis numerical results are presented, comparisons are made between alter-native modeling methods, and characteristics of the methods are discussed.

BACKGROUND Past clinical trials of antimicrobial treatment in soft tissue infections have focused on non-standardized clinical and physiological outcome variables, and have not considered the subjective experience of patients. The objective of this study was to develop a health-related quality of life questionnaire (HRQL) for patients with extremity soft tissue infections (ESTI) for future use ...

BACKGROUND Partial replantation (i.e. replacement of the extraperitoneal portion of the catheter with creation of a new subcutaneous tunnel) has been suggested to avoid catheter removal in patients with persistent exit-site/tunnel infection (ESTI). However, published experience with this technique is limited. METHODS Partial replantation was performed on an outpatient basis under local anesth...

sustainable ecotourism is a nature oriented tourism that maintains a sound relationship with the natu-ral environment, and contributes to its conservation. ecological understanding is a prerequisite of sus-tainable ecotourism. nature conservation and ecotourism are interdependent. there should be a sym-biotic relationship between the two, in which, both derive sustainable benefits in a lengthy ...

In a recent paper in this journal, Gong, Mao and Zhang, using the theory of Dirichlet forms, extendedKarlin andMcGregor’s classical results on first-hitting times of a birth–death process on the nonnegative integers by establishing a representation for the Laplace transform E[esTi j ] of the first-hitting time Ti j for any pair of states i and j , as well as asymptotics for E[esTi j ] when eith...
