Resumen. En este trabajo se presenta una estrategia para obtener de modo sistemático el modelo de casos de uso y el modelo conceptual, a partir del modelado del negocio basado en diagramas de actividades UML. Después de determinar los procesos del negocio de la organización bajo estudio, y de describir sus flujos de trabajo mediante diagramas de actividad, los casos de uso son identificados y e...

Clinical guidelines recommend early discharge of patients with low-risk pulmonary embolism (LRPE). This study measured the overall impact of early discharge of LRPE patients on clinical outcomes and costs in the Veterans Health Administration population. Adult patients with ≥1 inpatient diagnosis for pulmonary embolism (PE) (index date) between 10/2011-06/2015, continuous enrollment for ≥12 mon...

The main cause of nest mortality for most bird species is predation and nest survival rates often vary in relation to time-specific variables. Few investigators have examined time-specific patterns of nest survival in Neotropical birds, and most such studies have focused on tropical and subtropical species. To better understand agerelated patterns of nest survival, we studied nest survival of R...

In this paper channel assignment in ad hoc network using by channel impulse response is described. The distribution of channel impulse response is appropriate for the estimation of two propagation components (LOS – Line-of-Sight, NLOS – NonLine-of-Sight). The Rician factor K, represents the type of distribution, namely LOS component has Rician distribution and NLOS component has Rayleigh distri...

This work presents an alternative approach (Evolutionary Algorithms approach) to traditional treatment of Recommender Systems (RSs). The work examines genetic algorithms possibilities to offer adaptive characteristics to this systems trough learning. The main goal, in addition to give a general view about RSs capabilities and possibilities, it is to provide an example mechanism for to extend RS...

Determination of mobile localization with time of arrival (TOA) signal is a requirement in cellular mobile communication. In some of the previous methods, localization with non-line-of-sight (NLOS) paths can lead to large position error. Also for simplicity, in most simulations suppose non stationary actual environments as stationary. This paper proposes (residual test + recursive least square)...

The aim of this study was to assess the correlation of serum vitamin D with ICU length of stay, mortality rate, length of mechanical ventilation, and incidence of sepsis. We conducted a descriptive analytic study on 793 patients admitted to surgical ICU wards in northwest of Iran from March 2015 to March 2016. Patients were assessed during the ICU stay and the following data were collect...
