The present review of fluid therapy studies using balanced solutions versus isotonic saline fluids (both crystalloids and colloids) aims to address recent controversy in this topic. The change to the acid-base equilibrium based on fluid selection is described. Key terms such as dilutional-hyperchloraemic acidosis (correctly used instead of dilutional acidosis or hyperchloraemic metabolic acidos...

In this paper we prove that any distance-balanced graph $G$ with $Delta(G)geq |V(G)|-3$ is regular. Also we define notion of distance-balanced closure of a graph and we find distance-balanced closures of trees $T$ with $Delta(T)geq |V(T)|-3$.

this paper focus on the impact on the performance of health workers at village and township levels in the provision of a government stipulated package of basic public health service, which adopted the performance-related contracts mode.the concept of balanced scorecard was adopted and developed to gather the 11 evaluation indicators distributed in four quadrants. these were implemented using on...

In evolutionary learning of tasks containing easy and hard instances, the evolved populations tend to be swamped by solutions to the easy instances. This paper proposes infused evolutionary learning as an attempt to prevent the unbalanced treatment of easy and hard instances. In the proposed evolutionary technique initial populations are infused with a good solution to a single hard instance. T...

This paper discusses the mediumto long-term perspectives for the Irish banking system. Consistent with the finance-growth literature, financial deepening had a limited impact on growth in Ireland before the crisis and cannot be expected to contribute significantly over the shortto medium-term. The paper documents that, compared to its benchmark, the Irish banking system is still very unbalanced...

This paper evaluates the suitability of sequence classification techniques for analyzing deviant business process executions based on event logs. Deviant process executions are those that deviate in a negative or positive way with respect to normative or desirable outcomes, such as non-compliant executions or executions that undershoot or exceed performance targets. We evaluate a range of featu...

In transition-band steady-state free precession (SSFP) functional MRI (fMRI), functional contrast originates from a bulk frequency shift induced by a deoxygenated hemoglobin concentration change in the activated brain regions. This frequency shift causes a magnitude and/or phase-signal change depending on the off-resonance distribution of a voxel in the balanced-SSFP (bSSFP) profile. However, i...
