the aim of this study is to assess cost-effectiveness of infliximab, compared with conventional treatments in patients with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis (uc) in iran. we developed an analytical decision model with a 5-year-time horizon to follow up 1000 hypothetical patients, in order to estimate treatment costs and outcomes. hypothetical patients, were individuals with moderate to sev...

Based on M-estimate, the problem of robust estimation fusion in decentralized architecture when the sensor noises are contaminated by outliers is considered. A simple robust Kalman filtering (RKF) scheme with weighted matrices of innovation sequences is introduced for local state estimation. Then, to avoid both the inconsistency of the Kalman filter and the performance conservation of the covar...

Hyperspectral image compression is an important task in remotely sensed Earth Observation as the dimensionality of this kind of image data is ever increasing. This requires on-board compression in order to optimize the donwlink connection when sending the data to Earth. A successful algorithm to perform lossy compression of remotely sensed hyperspectral data is the iterative error analysis (IEA...

Subtask 1 of the IEA ECBCS Annex 41 (IEA 2007) project had the purpose to advance development in modelling of integral Heat, Air and Moisture (HAM) transfer processes that take place in “whole buildings”. Such modelling considers all relevant elements of buildings: The indoor air, building envelope, inside constructions, furnishing, systems and users. The building elements interact with each ot...

When the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA) was established in 1959 the basic idea was to use comparative analysis of country differences in achievement to take advantage of the world as an educational laboratory. A large number of comparative studies involving substantial numbers of countries has since then been conducted and much has indeed been lear...

An important goal of Integrated Ecosystem Assessment (IEA) is to be an inclusive, evidence-based process engage stakeholders, in support ecosystem-based management. IEA resource intensive, requiring the engagement personnel, experts from many disciplines, public and private institutions, including issues technology, infrastructure, capacity building, etc. Stakeholders such as policy-makers scie...
