Background: Due to the low knowledge and practice of parents in the therapeutic care of sick children and the importance of blended instruction in families, we aimed to determine the effect of blended instruction on improving knowledge and practice of parents of children with chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the therapeutic care of children.<br...

The current study presents a low-fidelity, quasi-3D aerodynamic analysis method for Blended-Wing-Body (BWB) Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) configurations. A tactical BWB UAV experimental prototype is used as reference platform. utilizes 2D panel analyses and theoretical calculations to rapidly compute lift pitching moment coefficients. philosophy the underlying semi-empirical equations of propos...

In this paper we introduce b− open, b− closed, quasi b− open, quasi b − closed, strongly b − open and strongly b − closed functions and investigate properties and characterizations of these new types of functions.

In this paper we define and study a family of codes which come close to be MRD codes, so we call them AMRD codes (almost MRD). An AMRD code is a code with rank defect equal to 1. AMRD codes whose duals are AMRD are called dually AMRD. Dually AMRD codes are the closest to the MRD codes given that both they and their dual codes are almost optimal. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the codes...

Administrative data were used to compare lengths of stay, Medicare payment, total and average daily costs, discharge destinations, rehospitalizations, and emergency room (ER) use of dually eligible and non-dually eligible Medicare inpatients admitted for a psychiatric diagnosis. Regressions controlled for State buy-in coverage as a proxy for dual eligibility, hospital type, and beneficiary soci...
