A comparison of different treatment strategies does not always result in determining the best one for all patients, one needs to study subgroups of patients with significant difference in efficiency between treatment strategies. To solve this problem an approach to subgroups generation is proposed, where data are described in terms of a pattern structure and pattern concepts stay for patient su...

This study presents shape optimization of a gravity dam imposing stability and principal stress constraints. A gravity dam is a large scale hydraulic structure consisting of huge amount of concrete material. Hence, an optimum design gives a cost-benefit structure due to the fact that small changes in shape of dam cross-section leads to large saving of concrete volume. T...

Saure Carhoxypeptidase, welche Phenylalanin von CbO-Leu-Phe-OH bei pH 5,3 abspaltet, ist ein in höheren Angiospermen weit verbreitetes Enzym. Es scheint dagegen in primitiven Angiospermen (Fagus und Magnolia) sowie in Gymnospermen und Kryptogamen (Ausnahme: Equisetum) zu fehlen. Bei Zitrone ist die Aktivität saurer Carboxypeptidase von Natur und Alter der extrahierten Gewebe abhängig (Exocarp u...

Glutamic Semialdehyde, Synthesis, Reactivity, Glutamic Acid, Derivatives Glutamic-1-semialdehyde which is discussed to be involved in the early steps of chlorophyll biosynthesis, has been synthesized from glutamic acid by reduction of several N-protected carboxylic acid derivatives like the N-CBO-glutamic acid-1-dimethyl amide or methylanilide, the pyroglutamic acid imidazolide and the acid chl...

In response to your request, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has conducted a long-term analysis of your proposal to substantially change federal payments under the Medicare and Medicaid programs, eliminate the subsidies to be provided through new insurance exchanges under last year’s major health care legislation, leave Social Security as it would be under current law, and set paths for a...

In this document, the Congressional Budget Office highlights some of the key aspects of the methodology it used to estimate the budgetary effects of replacing the Department of Defense’s TRICARE health benefit with private insurance—Option 2 in the report titled Approaches to Changing Military Health Care.1 Because of the complexity of Option 2, estimates of its budgetary effects are subject to...

Software maintainability is one important aspect in the evolution of a software product. Several coupling measures have been introduced to identify and measure the design complexity of an object oriented (OO) systems. The coupling metrics proposed in this paper recognizes the complexity between inheritance and interface programming. This paper presents measurements of Coupling between Object (C...

A type-I (“spike”) conduction-band offset (CBO) greater than a few tenths of an eV at the n/p interface of a solar cell can lead to significant distortion of the current-voltage (J-V) curve. Such distortion has been observed in CdS/CIS cells, low-gallium CdS/CIGS cells, and CIGS cells with alternative windows that increase the CBO. The basic feature is reduced current collection in forward bias...
