Caring for the vulnerable elderly: are available quality indicators appropriate?

In October 2007, an update of the quality measures for “The Assessing Care of Vulnerable Elders-3 (ACOVE-3)” was published. Clearly patients receiving long-term care represent a vulnerable group and so it is reasonable to inquire whether these indicators are appropriate for our populations. It should be noted that of the 392 quality indicators, 36% were excluded from patients with advanced deme...

How to apply a discrete vessel model in thermal simulations when only incomplete vessel data are available.

For accurate predictions of the temperature distribution during hyperthermia treatment a thermal model should incorporate the individual impact of discrete vessels. In clinical practice not all vessels can be reconstructed individually. This paper investigates five possible strategies to model the thermal impact of these missing vessels. A tissue volume with a detailed, realistic, counter-curre...

An Intelligent System’s Approach for Revitalization of Brown Fields using only Production Rate Data

State-of-the-art data analysis in production allows engineers to characterize reservoirs using production data. This saves companies large sums that should otherwise be spend on well testing and reservoir simulation and modeling. There are two shortcomings with today’s production data analysis: It needs bottom-hole or well-head pressure data in addition to data for rating reservoirs’ characteri...
