An Introduction to DEVS Standardization

Since the early 70s, the M&S community has been trying to formulate approaches to modeling as system specification formalisms. As seen in the previous chapters of this book, the proliferation of DEVS-based M&S engines has brought the need to improve and standardize DEVS tools, facilitating the work of DEVS designers independently of the programming language implementations or algorithmic code e...

Targeting HbA1c: standardization and clinical laboratory measurement.

In this article, we have provided a review of the implications of diabetes and HbA1c, the standardization efforts of HbAlc as a long-term monitor of average glycemia, the pathobiology of HbA1c, as well as current measurement pitfalls associated with clinical-laboratory measurements. Long-term studies, including the DCCT and UKPDS, have established a correlation between average blood glucose (Hb...
