On any plausible account of the basis for health care resource prioritization, the benefits and costs of different alternative resource uses are relevant considerations in the prioritization process. Consequentialists hold that the maximization of benefits with available resources is the only relevant consideration. Non-consequentialists do not reject the relevance of consequences of benefits a...

i t c k w t s c i t m The functional neuroanatomy of time estimation has ot been well-documented. This research investigated he fMRI measured brain response to an explicit, rospective time interval production (TIP) task. The tudy tested for the presence of brain activity reflectng a primary time keeper function, distinct from the rain systems involved either in conscious strategies o monitor ti...

The use of executable assertions is widely recognised as a useful programming technique for complex systems. In many cases static analysis of programs allows such assertions to be removed at compile time, thus removing the overhead of the test. The use of interprocedural analysis would often allow a larger number of such tests to be statically removed; intermodular analysis could even improve o...

one of the most important stages in sugar industry that making wastewater and contamination is the water obtained to washing of co2 in mazoot furnace and related pumps. amount of water consumption in this stage is about 30 to 35 percent of weight of sugar beet, so amount of this stream is considerable. mixing of carbon black and water compose the colloid in liquid phase. these colloids do not s...

in this study, the recovery of casing soil consumed in the white button mushroom was investigated. casing soil is used as a layer on compost (culture medium) to a diameter of 3-5to stimulate fruiting on the white button mushroom(agaricus bisporus) . the expense od casing soil is about 30 percent of production costs. in the first step of this experiment, in order to separate casing soil from com...
