In this paper, we first develop a fragmentation method that reduces the storage overhead of replicated objects. We then present a data management protocol for these fragmented objects, and show that this protocol is a generalisation of quorum consensus algorithms for replicated data in which objects are not fragmented. Although this protocol reduces storage requirements, it does not achieve the...

CONTEXT Pediatric concussions are common, and emphasis on correct diagnosis and management is stressed in consensus guidelines. Medications may have a role in management of concussion, but no consensus exists regarding appropriate pharmacologic therapy. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION Nonsystematic review. STUDY DESIGN Clinical review. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level 4. RESULTS There is limited evidence f...

OBJECTIVE The importance of the acquisition of practical medical skills during medical school is increasing. With the consensus statement "Practical Skills," developed by the GMA as part of the National Competency-Based Learning Objective Catalogue for Medicine (NKLM), a reference frame was created for the procurement of such skills. This frame consists of 290 learning objectives divided by "or...

In the last few years, several statistically consistent consensus methods for species tree inference have been devised that are robust to the gene tree discordance caused by incomplete lineage sorting in unstructured ancestral populations. One source of gene tree discordance that has only recently been identified as a potential obstacle for phylogenetic inference is ancestral population structu...

In smart factories, several mobile and autonomous robots are being utilized in warehouses to reduce overhead operating costs. this context, paper presents a consensus-based fault-resilient intelligent mechanism called Consensual Fault-Resilient Behavior (CFRB). The proposed approach is based on three hierarchical plans: imposition, negotiation, consensus. Fault resilience achieved using the col...

In this study, quantitative structure-retention relationship (QSRR) methodology employed for modeling of the retention times of 16 banned pesticides in nano-liquid chromatography (nano-LC) column. Genetic algorithm-multiple linear regression (GA-MLR) method employed for developing global and consensus QSRR models. The best global GA-MLR model was established by adjusting GA parameters. Three de...
