White Coat Uncontrolled hypertension (WCUH) menjadi salah satu pertimbangan yang dinilai pada pasien hipertensi tidak terkontrol. Penilaian lebih jauh dibutuhkan untuk menghindari terjadinya medikasi berlebihan. Pada penelitian ini, penulis meneliti sebuah kasus WCUH ekstrem, ditemukan saat melakukan pemeriksaan ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM). Subyek adalah perempuan berusia 66 tah...

one of the most important issues in the plant layout design especially in mass production organizations with high inter-plant logistics is‘material flow and inter-plant traffic analysis and its effects on the production capabilities or pauses in production lines. in this paper the inter-plant traffic analysis issue on the basis of single channel queue model (m/m/1) is analyzed in a carmaker c...

In this research report, an achievability region and a converse region for the two-user Gaussian interference channel with noisy channel-output feedback (G-IC-NOF) are presented. The achievability region is obtained using a random coding argument and three well-known techniques: rate splitting, superposition coding and backward decoding. The converse region is obtained using some of the existin...

Numerous economic studies have attempted to empirically document the profitability of investment in various collectibles including coins, violins, wine, antique furniture, and paintings. With profitability information, the collector will have some idea of the expected consumption cost of collecting (the residual between alternative financial returns and those of the collectible), and thus be in...

1 The Olfactory Research Fund has announced that it will become the SENSE OF SMELL INSTITUTE, effective January 1, 2001. In addition, the organization’s mission has been redefined to position the SENSE OF SMELL INSTITUTE as the leading global resource relating to the sense of smell and its importance to quality of life. The announcement was made at the Fund’s annual “Night of Honors” fund-raisi...

Numerous recent investigations on the development and morphology of atherosclerotic lesions have shown programmed cell death or apoptosis to be an important factor in atherogenesis. Enzymes known as caspases are essential for completion of the apoptotic program. With regard to the origin of signals inducing apoptosis, there are two ways of initiating caspase activation: (a) cellular death recep...

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common genetic inherited disease in the European Caucasian population, and by the number of patients the third orphan disease (at least in France). Based on the UK Cystic Fibrosis Survey, the incidence of this autosomal recessive disorder was evaluated in 1997 being one in 2415 live births (Dodge et al., 1997). The disease is due to mutations in the cystic fibro...

in this paper, a viscous flow simulation is presented using the lattice boltzmann equation (lbe). a finite volume approach is adapted to discretize the lbe on a cell-centered, arbitrary shaped, rectangular tessellation. the formulation includes upwind scheme and high order descretization schemes for the flux term and collision operator respectively. a consistent open and solid boundary treatmen...

abstract bottom rack intake is one of the most appropriate structures for diverting water in steep rivers. the problems of corrosion, deformity and clogging of the bottom racks in long term, inspires a new system of bottom intake in which a filled trench of porous media is replaced by the bottom racks. diversion of a specified amount of discharge through the porous media when void space in the ...
