This paper presents the application of Fuzzy ARTMAP neural network for evaluating on-line load forecasting in short term case. A new approach using artificial neural networks (ANNs) is proposed for short term load forecasting. To forecast loads of a day, the hourly load pattern and the maximum and minimum and average of temprature must be determined. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the prop...

■ EVIDENCE-BASED ANSWER Subacromial steroid injection may provide a small, short-term benefit compared with placebo. The short-term effectiveness of steroid injection compared with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents (NSAIDs) remains unclear. Steroid injections are better than physiotherapy alone in the short term. However, injection does not appear to provide any meaningful longterm benefit ...

We investigate the behavior of a new response strategy to TCP Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN). The new strategy is more aggressive in the short term, but preserves TCP long term behavior– without modifying the router ECN marking rate. A more aggressive short term behavior gives incentives for hosts to become ECN-compliant. ECN serves as an early warning sign in this case. Our analysis de...

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES The CURE study showed that adding clopidogrel to standard therapy with acetylsalicylic acid reduces the risk of cardiovascular events (i.e., stroke, myocardial infarction, and cardiovascular death) in patients with acute coronary syndrome but without ST-segment elevation. The objective of this study was to carry out short- and long-term cost-effectiveness analyses of...
