Chronic Disease Prevention as an Adaptive Leadership Problem

Adaptive Leadership Framework for Chronic Illness

We propose the Adaptive Leadership Framework for Chronic Illness as a novel framework for conceptualizing, studying, and providing care. This framework is an application of the Adaptive Leadership Framework developed by Heifetz and colleagues for business. Our framework views health care as a complex adaptive system and addresses the intersection at which people with chronic illness interface w...

Prevention of Signal Cancellation in an Adaptive Nulling Problem

Signal cancellation is a serious problem in adaptive nulling. The problem arises when the actual direction of arrival of the signal is slightly off the assumed direction of arrival. The adaptive algorithms consider the actual signal a jammer as the direction of arrival is not exactly specified. In this paper, it is shown how to prevent signal cancellation when the direction of arrival is not kn...

AN ADAPTIVE WAVELET SOLUTION TO GENERALIZED STOKES PROBLEM

In this paper we will present an adaptive wavelet scheme to solvethe generalized Stokes problem. Using divergence free wavelets, theproblem is transformed into an equivalent matrix vector system, thatleads to a positive definite system of reduced size for thevelocity. This system is solved iteratively, where the applicationof the infinite stiffness matrix, that is sufficiently compressible,is r...

Asian Leadership in Chronic Kidney Disease

Asian Pacific countries include those with the highest incidence of renal failure in the world, the richest and poorest economies and unparalleled diversity of economy, culture and geography. From this come many challenges, but also a strong basis for the introduction of strategies to combat renal diseases. With a rapidly developing scientific community, Asia needs to accept the challenge of be...
