This paper proposes two new crossover operators for searching over discrete probability spaces. The design of the operators is considered in the light of recent theoretical insights into genetic search provided by forma analysis. A nontrivial test problem in enforcing coherency of probability estimates in cross-impact analysis highlights the utility of the designed operators. The presented oper...

INTRODUCTION There is a lack of published evidence examining the quality of patient notes in African healthcare settings. We aim to examine the completeness of the orthopaedic inpatient notes and begin development of a formal audit framework in a large Tanzanian Hospital. METHODS A retrospective review of 155 orthopaedic inpatient notes at Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Centre (KCMC) was condu...

Background: Infection is now the most common cause of morbidity in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). There is lack of information regarding the specific antibody forma-tion in response to vaccines in young SLE patients. Objective: To determine the efficacy of anti-tetanus antibody response in young patients with SLE. Methods: Forty SLE pa-tients with mean age of 14.1 years (range: 7-21) and 6...

Abstract Background Falls are the most common adverse incident of inpatients in Irish hospitals. 6% inpatient falls cause serious injury. Older have highest risk falling and The post-fall medical review is critical to assess why a patient fell, did fall injury for introduction measures prevent future falls. We assessed quality post reviews large hospital. then introduced standardised pro forma ...

OBJECTIVES To highlight the initial management approach for Lung Cancer in a UK Hospital with the aim of translating the principles of such methodology to a developing country, such as Pakistan. METHODS A descriptive observational study was carried out at Stobhill Hospital, Glasgow, UK. The investigator (IMB) observed the Lung Cancer Service, attending the weekly 'New patients Clinic', 'Resul...

AIM This study aims to assess the association of sugary foods and drinks consumption with behavioral risk and oral health status of 12- and 15-year-old government school children in Udaipur. MATERIALS AND METHODS A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among of 12- and 15-year-old government schoolchildren of Udaipur. A survey pro forma designed based on HBSC (Health behaviour in Sc...

In aceasta lucrare este prezentată problema reglarii ieşirii dacă se consideră sisteme neliniare MIMO. In acest context formele normale pentru reprezentarea sistemelor neliniare sunt de mare interes. Două forme normale pentru sisteme neliniare MIMO sunt prezentate. Prima releva vectorul de grade relative si poate fi aplicată pentru sisteme pătrate inversabile (forma normală clasică), a doua poa...
