BACKGROUND Use of atypical antipsychotics (AA) in combination with an antidepressant is recommended as an augmentation strategy for patients with depression. However, there is a paucity of data comparing aripiprazole and other AAs in terms of patient reported outcomes. Therefore, the objective of this study was to examine the levels of HRQoL and health utility scores in patients with depression...

The multi-scale modelling of process systems using hierarchical coloured Petri nets for diagnostics is investigated in this report. A case study is used to systematically show the modelling approach using an illustrative example of a tank reactor with cooling jacket. This form of representation shows how CPNs can provide a hierarchically structured framework for advanced fault diagnosis. Resear...
