objective: to evaluate the current scientific evidence for the applicability, safety and effectiveness of pathways of enhanced recovery after emergency surgery (eras). methods: we undertook a search using pubmed and cochrane databases for eras protocols in emergency cases. the search generated 65 titles; after eliminating the papers not meeting search criteria, we selected 4 cohort studies and ...

In this paper, we address the issue of privacy in 5th generation (5G) driven Internet Things (IoT) and related technologies while presenting a comparison with previous for communication unaddressed issues 5G. Initially, an overview 5G IoT is presented details about both eventually leading to problems that will face. Details are also comparing them technologies. The architecture hence explaining...

We present a method of enhanced convergence for the approximation of analytic functions. This method introduces conformal transformations in the approximation problems in order to help extract the values of a given analytic function from its Taylor expansion. We show that conformal transformations can extend the radius of convergence of a power series far into infinity, enhance substantially it...

This paper examines the convergence process of industrial productivity between Chinese regions. Both σ and β convergences are investigated using a panel data set of 30 provinces and autonomous regions over the period 1985-1999. Unconditional σ and β convergence methods fail to detect productivity convergence over the whole sample period, although they suggest convergence during a sub-period 198...

We demonstrate the advantages of randomization in coherent quantum dynamical control. For systems which are either time-varying or require decoupling cycles involving a large number of operations, we find that simple randomized protocols offer superior convergence and stability as compared to deterministic counterparts. In addition, we show how randomization may allow us to outperform purely de...
