Metal coating, metal materials are of two or more layers. The coating metals are widely used in industry. These sheets or saving performance and cost effective solution or both the user. Performance coating metals according to usage in structural applications, settings thermal expansion of the thermo-mechanical control (thermostat), electrical, magnetic, corrosion resistant, flowering and decor...

BACKGROUND Folic acid intake before and during pregnancy reduces neural tube defects (NTD). Therefore, several countries have enriched bulk food with folic acid resulting in a 26-48% decrease in the prevalence of NTDs. In 2000, the Dutch Health Council advised against folic acid enrichment based on literature research; yet formal cost-effectiveness information was absent. We designed our study ...

We demonstrate that almost all nonparametric dimensionality reduction methods can be expressed by a simple procedure: regularized loss minimization plus singular value truncation. By distinguishing the role of the loss and regularizer in such a process, we recover a factored perspective that reveals some gaps in the current literature. Beyond identifying a useful new loss for manifold unfolding...

In 2015, space heating and domestic hot water production accounted for around 40% of the Swiss final energy consumption. Reaching the goals of the 2050 energy strategy will require significantly reducing this share despite the growing building stock. Renewables are numerous but subject to spatial–temporal constraints. Territorial planning of energy distribution systems enabling the integration ...

To develop an optimal irrigation and fertilization system for Korla fragrant pear in the Xinjiang region, effects of water fertilizer coupling on quality, yield, use efficiency (IWUE), partial productivity (PFP), net profits under condition limited drip were studied through field experiments by combining multiple regression analysis spatial analysis. A comprehensive quality evaluation model was...

This paper presents a new class of model in the field of topical algebra whose time evolution belongs to intervals. The lower and upper bounds depend on the maximization, minimization and addition operations, simultaneously. A motivation for the current study is the modelling of Time Petri nets like Time Stream Petri Nets and P-time Petri nets which extend Timed Petri Nets and generalize the se...

The data-based fault detection and isolation (DBFDI) process becomes more potentially challenging if the faulty component of the system causes partial loss of data. In this paper, we present an iterative approach to DBFDI that is capable of recovering the model and detecting the fault pertaining to that particular cause of the model loss. The developedmethod is an expectation-maximization (EM) ...

A common approach to the over-the-cell channel routing problem is to divide the problem into three steps: (1) routing over the cells, (2) choosing net segments, (3) routing within the channel. In this paper, we show that the first step can be reduced to the problem of finding a maximum independent set of a circle graph, and thus, can be solved optimally in quadratic time. Also, we show that to ...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate potential return on investment of the National Health Service Diabetes Prevention Programme (NHS DPP) in England and estimate which population subgroups are likely to benefit most in terms of cost-effectiveness, cost-savings and health benefits. DESIGN Economic analysis using the School for Public Health Research Diabetes Prevention Model. SETTING England 2015-2016. ...

BACKGROUND This study aimed to assess the costs and clinical benefits of the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) administered annually to the 65-year-old cohort in Spain versus the alternative of not vaccinating patients and treating them only when infected. METHODS Cases of pneumococcal disease avoided were calculated through a dynamic model based on the work of Anderson and May...
