INTRODUCTION In Denmark, a flex job scheme was introduced in 1998 in the expectation that more people could remain in the workforce despite a reduced working capacity. The aim of this study was to characterise the group that did not obtain a flex job after having been included in the flex job scheme. MATERIAL AND METHODS Persons included in the flex job scheme from 1 January 2001 to 30 March ...

This article proposes a new approach for distributed computing. The main novelty consists in the exploitation of Web browsers as clients, thanks to the availability of Javascript, AJAX and Flex. The described solution has two main advantages: it is client-free, so no additional programs have to be installed to perform the computation, and it requires low CPU usage, so client-side computation is...

Ten right-handed patients with Parkinson's disease and 9 normal subjects performed five different types of movements as rapidly as possible in their own time: isotonic elbow flexion through an angle of 15 deg ('flex'); isometric squeezing of a force transducer between thumb and fingers ('squeeze'); isotonic finger flexion ('cut'); simultaneous performance of both 'flex' and 'squeeze'; simultane...

Renewable energy sources are becoming more important as the world’s supply of fossil fuels decrease and also due to environmental concerns. Since 2003, when the ethanol-gasoline flex fuel car became commercially available in Brazil, the growth of this market has been significant, to the point where currently 40% of the fuel consumption in Brazil is from renewable biofuels. This has been made po...

The development of an expert system for sewage treatment works management SewEx is described. This was built with the flex expert system toolkit. The system allows the diagnosis of problems in sewage sites which are managed by Welsh Water and accesses the surface assets database over a company network. Other uses of SewEx, such as what–if scenarios, maintenance and refurbishment are also outlin...

Database cracking has been an area of active research in recent years. The core idea of database cracking is to create indexes adaptively and incrementally as a side-product of query processing. Several works have proposed different cracking techniques for different aspects including updates, tuple-reconstruction, convergence, concurrency-control, and robustness. However, there is a lack of any...

OBJECTIVE This study investigated the efficacy and safety of insulin degludec (IDeg) once daily (OD), varying injection timing day to day in subjects with type 1 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This 26-week, open-label, treat-to-target, noninferiority trial compared IDeg forced flexible (Forced-Flex) OD (given in a fixed schedule with a minimum 8 and maximum 40 hours between doses) with...
