Defining line replaceable units

Defective capital assets may be quickly restored to their operational condition by replacing the item that has failed. The item that is replaced is called the Line Replaceable Unit (LRU), and the so-called LRU definition problem is the problem of deciding on which item to replace upon each type of failure: when a replacement action is required in the field, service engineers can either replace ...

Defining management units for European captive aardvarks.

The Aardvark (Orycteropus afer) is a very unique, but relatively widespread African mammal. Although some morphological variation has been observed between forest and savannah populations and among different African regions, they are all considered as a single species. However, no modern taxonomic revision is available. All captive aardvarks in Europe are believed to stem from wild born animals...

Defining Landscape Units Through Integrated Morphometric Characteristics

Landscape analysis and landscape planning need sophisticated spatio-temporal image analysis complemented with context-sensitive methodology. The latter means that raster processing has to evolve beyond per-cell analysis. We have integrated two approaches for the delineation of homogenous areas, or “mapping units”. First, a multiscale image analysis technique is used to extract objects from eart...

Defining the role of chest pain units.

Safe, cost-effective management of patients presenting to the emergency department (ED) because of chest pain compatible with myocardial ischemia continues to present a major clinical challenge. Current standards mandate rapid institution of proven therapy for reduction of mortality and morbidity in patients with acute coronary syndromes. However, in most patients presenting to the ED with ches...
