Technical feasibility of forest management

The technical feasibility of cryonics.

Cryonic suspension is a method of stabilizing the condition of someone who is terminally ill so that they can be transported to the medical care facilities that will be available in the late 21st or 22nd century. There is little dispute that the condition of a person stored at the temperature of liquid nitrogen is stable, but the process of freezing inflicts a level of damage which cannot be re...

Technical Feasibility of Remote Assessments for Rehabilitation

Management of tricuspid regurgitation by caval valve implantation: from technical feasibility to evaluation of efficacy.

Framingham, Massachusetts), 6 (7%) Jarvik 2000 (Jarvik Heart, New York, New York), 5 (6%) VentrAssist (Ventracor Ltd, Chatswood, NSW, Australia), and 2 (3%) Levacor (WorldHeart, Salt Lake City, Utah) LVADs. There were no significant differences in the degree of LV unloading, specifically right atrial pressure (p 1⁄4 0.76), mean pulmonary artery pressure (p 1⁄4 0.20), pulmonary vascular resistan...

Testing Technical Feasibility in CPS Development Projects

Cyber-physical systems (CPSs) are service systems that connect a product’s physical and computational elements through telecommunication networks. Typically, the processes in CPSs are executed on this physical and computational infrastructure. As the developing of new CPS is costly, testing and validating a CPS’s design at an early stage of development is desirable in order to avoid potential b...

Decision making in forest management with consideration of stochastic prices

  The optimal harvesting policy is calculated as a function of the entering stock, the price state, the harvesting cost, and the rate of interest in the capital market. In order to determine the optimal harvest schedule, the growth function and stumpage price process are estimated for the Swedish mixed species forests. The stumpage price is assumed to follow a stochastic Markov process. A stoch...
