Persistence definitions and their connections

Medication compliance and persistence: terminology and definitions.

OBJECTIVE The aim of the study is to provide guidance regarding the meaning and use of the terms "compliance" and "persistence" as they relate to the study of medication use. METHODS A literature review and debate on appropriate terminology and definitions were carried out. RESULTS Medication compliance and medication persistence are two different constructs. Medication compliance (synonym:...

Various Connections and Their Relations

We investigate the properties of Galois, dual Galois, residuated, and dual residuated connections on posets. In particular, we show that their connections are related to relations.

Gauges, Holes, and Their 'connections'

The purpose of this paper is to present a generalized hole argument for gauge field theories and their geometrical setting in terms of fiber bundles. The generalized hole argument is motivated and extended from the spacetime hole arguments which appear in spacetime theories based on differentiable manifolds such as general relativity. Analogously, the generalized hole argument rules out fiber b...

D - Width , Metric Embedding , and Their Connections

Embedding between metric spaces is a very powerful algorithmic tool and has been used for finding good approximation algorithms for several problems. In particular, embedding to an l1 norm has been used as the key step in an approximation algorithm for the sparsest cut problem. The sparsest cut problem, in turn, is the main ingredient of many algorithms that have a divide and conquer nature and...
