While many studies have reported that providing parenteral nutrition (PN) can change nutritional outcomes, there are limited data that demonstrate that PN influences clinically-important end points in critically-ill patients. The purpose of the present paper is to systematically review and critically appraise the literature to examine the relationship between PN and morbidity and mortality in t...

It is a classical result in complex dynamics of one variable that the Fatou set for a critically finite map on P consists of only basins of attraction for superattracting periodic points. In this paper we deal with critically finite maps on P. We show that the Fatou set for a critically finite map on P consists of only basins of attraction for superattracting periodic points. We also show that ...

The goal of theory of constraints (TOC) is to maximize output, which is achieved byidentifying and managing the critically constrained resources. To manage the constraints, Goldrattproposed five focusing steps (5FS). If we increase constrained output, the output of system will beincreased. In this paper, we focus on step four of the 5FS and use the remained capacity of nonconstraintto elevate t...
