In many industrialised countries, the climate impact from long-distance travel is greater than that short-distance travel. this paper, we present five scenarios for in 2060, which are consistent with a 67% probability of limiting global warming to 1.8 degrees. The concern by Swedish population, but per capita volume and fuel use could be generalised globally. A key result all require reductions...

BACKGROUND Statins have proven efficacy in the reduction of cardiovascular events, but the financial impact of its widespread use can be substantial. OBJECTIVE To conduct a cost-effectiveness analysis of three statin dosing schemes in the Brazilian Unified National Health System (SUS) perspective. METHODS We developed a Markov model to evaluate the incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICE...

Complexity is one of the most important issues of any production planning. The increase in complexity of production planning can cause inconsistency between a production plan and an actual outcome. The complexity generally can be divided in two categories, the static complexity and the dynamic complexity, which can be computed using the ant ropy formula. The formula considers the probability of...

We analyze greedy algorithms for broadcasting messages throughout a multi-hop wireless network, using a slot-based model that includes message collisions without collision detection. Our algorithms are split formally into two pieces: a high-level piece for broadcast and a low-level piece for contention management. We accomplish the split using abstract versions of the MAC layer to encapsulate t...

The expectations and variances of partial period cross-correlations for certain geometric sequences are estimated. The expectation of the partial period cross-correlations are shown to be proportional to the periodic cross-correlations. Bounds are found for the variance that show that with high probability the partial period cross-correlations are small if the sequences are balanced.

These data form a part of a longitudinal study of vowel system formation for Russian language. The goal of this investigation is to examine the process of vowels spectral characteristics dynamics from child speech to the corresponding values in normal Russian adult speech. The vowels from vocalizations and words of 5 Russian children from 3 to 60 months of age were analyzed. The spectral featur...
