BACKGROUND This paper contributes to research on the education-health association by extending the scope of inquiry to adult inmates. Not only are inmates excluded from most nationally representative studies of health but they also represent a highly select group in terms of both education and health. As such, our study provides new information about the health of incarcerated populations and i...

Continuing Dental Education (CDE) is the fundamental ethical and professional obligation of every practicing dentist. It is the responsibility of each practitioner to improve his/her professional knowledge and clinical skills by participating in an appropriate and officially recognised Continuing Education Programme (CEP). There is a trend in most European countries that understand the importan...

BACKGROUND Medical decision making must often be performed despite incomplete evidence. An example is the choice of a glycoprotein IIb/IIIa (GP2b3a) inhibitor, a class of potent antiplatelet medications, as adjunctive therapy during percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs). GP2b3a inhibitor efficacy in reducing adverse outcomes has been well documented with multiple placebo-controlled randomi...

Abstract –In our empirical works, we find that there exists the equivalency of the cumulative degree distribution and edge-cumulative distribution. Furthermore, we employ three network models of the recursive graphs, Sierpinksi networks and Apollonian networks to verify our conjecture: Both the cumulative degree distribution and the edge-cumulative distribution are equivalent to each other in d...

In this paper, we define a new projective invariant and call it W̃ -curvature. We prove that a Finsler manifold with dimension n ≥ 3 is of constant flag curvature if and only if its W̃ -curvature vanishes. Various kinds of projectively flatness of Finsler metrics and their equivalency on Riemannian metrics are also studied. M.S.C. 2010: 53B40, 53C60.

We study some equivalency relations between Hilbert frames and closed subspaces of l2(I). We define also a distance between frames and we establish the geometric meaning of this metric. Finally we find the closest and respectively the nearest tight frame to a given frame.

DDC Online is a web-based catalog of product lines of the leading manufacturers of building direct digital control (DDC) systems presented using a generic architecture and common terminology, thereby simplifying the task of comparing products of different manufacturers. DDC Online is a very useful tool for specifying engineers and commissioning providers tasked with assessing the equivalency of...
