BACKGROUND We assessed whether medication safety improved when a medication profiling program was added to a computerized provider order entry system. DESIGN Between June 2001 and January 2002 we profiled outpatients with potential prescribing errors using computerized retrospective drug utilization software. We focused primarily on drug interactions. Patients were randomly assigned either to...

We show that the Higgs branch of a four-dimensional Yang-Mills theory, with gauge and matter content summarised by an ADE quiver diagram, is identical to the generalised Coulomb branch of a four-dimensional superconformal strongly coupled gauge theory with ADE global symmetry. This equivalence suggests the existence of a mirror symmetry between the quiver theories and the strongly coupled theor...

This paper presents a new method for simulation of power bipolar devices. The method is based on the solution of the Ambipolar Diffusion Equation (ADE) with a finite element (FE) [ 1 ] approach. This one allows analog solutions for ADE through an equivalent electrical network. So the method could constitute the core for power bipolar devices simulation into any electrical circuit simulator.

This paper contains a brief discussion of the Application Development Environment (ADE) that is used to build database applications involving the graphical user interface (GUI). ADE computing separates the database access and the user interface. The variety of applications may be generated that communicate with different and distinct desktop databases. The advanced techniques allows to involve ...

PURPOSE To assess the relative impact of antibodies specific for HSV-1 glycoproteins on eye disease in response to HSV-1 infection, the composition of antibodies specific for 10 of the viral glycoproteins, and the effect of anti-glycoprotein (g)D and anti-gK antibodies on antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE). METHODS In a prospective case-control study, sera from patients with a history of he...

BACKGROUND Vitamin K antagonists have been the treatment of choice in preventing thromboembolic events, but problems such as frequent dose adjustment and monitoring of coagulation status, including multiple drug and food interactions, make their use difficult. Dabigatran etexilate is a new oral direct thrombin inhibitor not requiring routine monitoring and since its approval in the United State...

The objective is estimated the concentration of air pollution, by solving the atmospheric diffusion equation (ADE) using Adomain decomposition method. The solution depends on eddy diffusivity profile (K) and wind speed at the released point (u). We solve the ADE numerically in two dimensions using Adomain decomposition method, then, compared our results with observed data.

OBJECTIVE Benzodiazepines and "Z-drug" GABA-receptor modulators (BDZ) are among the most frequently used drugs in hospitals. Adverse drug events (ADE) associated with BDZ can be the result of preventable medication errors (ME) related to dosing, drug interactions and comorbidities. The present study evaluated inpatient use of BDZ and related ME and ADE. METHODS We conducted an observational s...

This paper presents key aspects of the development of a Dutch 3D standard IMGeo as a CityGML ADE. The new ADE is modeled using UML class diagrams. However the OGC CityGML specification does not provide clear rules on modeling an ADE in UML. This paper describes how the extension was built, which provides general insight how CityGML can be extended for a specific applications starting from the U...

We carried out a comparison of cross-language retrieval methods on the NTCIR-1 data based on dimension reduction (latent semantic indexing). These methods all use a collection parallel documents (translations or approximate translations) and very little, if any, linguistic knowledge. In NTCIR-1, we compared latent semantic indexing, local LSI, and approximate dimensional equalization (ADE). We ...
