There has been a steady decline in the number of applications to nephrology training programs. One solution is to decrease the number of available fellowship positions. Proponents believe that training programs have grown too big but the method for reduction has not been established. This investigation analyzes two models that decrease the number of available training positions and compares the...

Purpose: Enalapril maleate (EPM), was used for hypertension and congestive heart failure. In this way, an innovative delivery system with mPEG–PCL was synthesized and the release profile of the EPM from the drug-loaded polymersomes was evaluated. Methods: Di-block methoxy)-poly (ethylene glycol) - Poly (caprolactone) (mPEG-PCL) copolymers were synthesized and used to prepare of polymersom...

In this paper we present an alternative approach to model and execute business processes. The approach combines a compact model with an intelligent control flow mechanism. Instead of using a pre-designed process model that is executed during runtime by a workflow engine, we use a special model called executable product model (EPM) that is executed by a multi-agent system. The EPM provides a com...

evaluation of sediment yield in watershed scale is considered so important for implementation of soil conservation, watershed management, environment, dam construction and water resource management. using empirical model is one of the approaches of evaluating sediment yield. this research in kasilian watershed evaluates sediment yield by using geomorphology method and epm model with arc view gi...

In this paper we consider the dimensions of mobile Energy and Power Management (EPM), outline an EPM design, and elaborate holistic EPM opportunities for battery-operated mobile devices. We argue that a holistic EPM design can offer significant increases for battery lifetime. Our argumentation is based on a number of cases that illustrate how energy consumption can be reduced by opportunistical...
