Background In Italy, there is no framework of procedural skills that all medical students should be able to perform autonomously at graduation. The study aims at identifying (1) a set of essential procedural skills and (2) which abilities could be potentially taught with simulation. Desirability score was calculated for each procedure to determine the most effective manner to proceed with simul...

This paper highlights an integrated approach to solve the correlated multi-response optimization problem through a case study in submerged arc welding (SAW). The proposed approach has been presented to overcome different limitations and drawbacks of existing optimization techniques available in literature. Traditional Taguchi optimization technique is based under the assumption that quality res...

The authors developed the methods of managing agro-resource potential agrolandscapes based on risks resource-adapted technologies. They established limits applicability technologies according to critical dimensionless risk indicator. model resource state agrolandscape for quantitative indicators reclamation soil has been obtained. optimized using Harrington desirability function which allows ma...

Angelica essential oil (AO), a major pharmacologically active component of Angelica sinensis (Oliv.) Diels, possesses hemogenesis, analgesic activities and sedative effect. The application of AO in pharmaceutical systems had been limited because of its low oxidative stability. The AO-loaded gelatin-chitosan microcapsules with prevention from oxidation were developed and optimized using response...
