R esum e : Les applications r eelles utilisent des structures de donn ees classiques telles que des matrices, mais fournissent la plupart du temps une impl ementation sp eciique au probl eme, comme Compressed Sparse Column (CSC) { voir par exemple SPARSKITT17]. Ceci est en particulier vrai quand on travaille avec de grandes structures de donn ees creuses, comme des matrices provenant du domaine...

BACKGROUND Left-ventricular end-systolic elastance (Ees) is an index of cardiac contractility, but the invasive nature of its assessment has limited perioperative application. We explored the feasibility of a minimally invasive method of Ees estimation for perioperative assessment of cardiac function and evaluated the suitability of phenylephrine as a loading intervention. METHODS In 17 surgi...

BACKGROUND Acute thrombogenicity and re-endothelialization represent clinically relevant end points pertaining to the safety of coronary stents, which have not been compared among biodegradable polymer-based drug-eluting metallic stents and fully bioabsorbable scaffolds to date. METHODS AND RESULTS We investigated comparative outcomes with respect to acute thrombogenicity and re-endothelializ...

Clearly, something in the system has to be secret. The goal of EES is that government agencies will be able to tap telephone calls, but no-one else will. To achieve this, the government must have, or know, something that no-one else does. This something is the Unit Key (KU), a cryptographic key which is different for every telephone. The basic idea is that if you know a phone’s unit key you can...

OBJECTIVES There are limited head-to-head randomized data on patient-related versus stent-related outcomes for everolimus-eluting stents (EES) and sirolimus-eluting stents (SES). BACKGROUND In the SORT OUT IV (Scandinavian Organization for Randomized Trials With Clinical Outcome IV) trial, comparing the EES with the SES in patients with coronary artery disease, the EES was noninferior to the ...

OBJECTIVES This study sought to compare the unrestricted use of everolimus-eluting stents (EES) with sirolimus-eluting stents (SES) in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. BACKGROUND It is unclear whether there are differences in safety and efficacy between EES and SES during long-term follow-up. METHODS Using propensity score matching, clinical outcome was compared among...

Abstract As one of the candidate carriers future transportation, electric vehicles are widely considered an important choice to solve traffic derivative problems and environmental issues. In this paper, evaluation vehicle charging facilities is studied by employing MCDM method. The fuzzy BWM was utilized weight criteria, MARCOS method employed evaluate different facilities. Eight criteria for w...

Although these entities are histologically similar, recent advances in molecular genetics have allowed the distinction of central nervous system extraosseous Ewing sarcoma (CNS-EES) from central primitive neuroectodermal tumors (c-PNET) including medulloblastoma and supratentorial PNET. We present 2 cases of pathologically confirmed CNS-EES. Knowledge of CNS-EES as a distinct entity enables the...

The Emergency Evacuation Simulation (EES) has been increasingly becoming a hotspot in the field of transportation. PSO-based EES is a good choice as its low computation complexity compared with some other algorithms, especially in an emergency. The selection of fitness function of each particle in PSO is a key problem for EES. This paper will introduce some fitness functions for EES and present...

BACKGROUND The aim of the present study was to compare vascular healing response between everolimus-eluting stent (EES) and biolimus-eluting stent (BES) using optical coherence tomography (OCT). METHODS AND RESULTS In the NOBORI Biolimus-Eluting Versus XIENCE V/PROMUS Everolimus-Eluting Stent Trial (NEXT), a formal OCT substudy investigated 91 patients (55 EES-treated lesions in 48 patients a...
