The Centre for evidence-based Veterinary Medicine (CeVM) at Nottingham university defines evidence-based veterinary medicine (eVM) as: ‘The use of the best relevant evidence, in conjunction with clinical expertise, to make the best possible decision about a veterinary patient. The circumstances of each patient, and the circumstances and values of the owner/carer must also be considered when mak...

Glycidylmethacrylate/methacrylonitrile (G/M) copolymers of different compositions were prepared and a copolymer composition was obtained from quantitative C NMR spectroscopy. Reactivity ratios for comonomers were calculated using the Kelen-Tudos (KT) and non linear error in variable (EVM) methods. The reactivity ratios obtained from KT and EVM are TQ = 1.14 ± 0.1, rM = 0.76 ± 0.06 and rG = 1.12...

This work investigates the effects of magnitude and/or phase distortions, in 8-Phase Shift Keying (8-PSK) systems, due to Gaussian bandpass noise. Analytical expressions are derived to compute the performance of the distorted 8-PSK signals in terms of error vector magnitude (EVM), symbol error rate (SER) and Es/No. The results show that the same value of EVM may result in different SER values d...

Discerning subtle abnormal movements is often critical in making the correct neurologic diagnosis. However, many telltale movements are hardly visible to the nonspecialist’s eye. Using Eulerian video magnification (EVM), which applies a spatial and temporal filtering algorithm to amplify movements digitally on (real-time) video, we present 3 neurologic patients in whom the diagnosis became obvi...

This paper presents a new approach to achieve elementary neighborhood operations on both 2D and 3D binary images by using the Extreme Vertices Model (EVM), a recent orthogonal polyhedra representation applied to digital images. The operations developed here are erosion and dilation. In contrast with previous techniques, this method do not use a voxel-based approach but deal with the inner secti...

Earned value management (EVM) is widely used when monitoring and estimating operations related to construction projects. As the scope complexity of projects expand, traditional EVM sometimes ineffective even results in conclusions that are contrary actual situation. Additionally, estimate produced by a deterministic does not account for uncertainty activities involved project. This study propos...

Earned Value Management (EVM) is a method used to monitor and predict project completion time. This uses linear approach in predicting time completion. Unfortunately, most of the projects run dynamic environments with complex characteristics, causing progress require non-linear approach. That why use EVM monitoring less effective. study proposes more realistic alternative using non-Linear based...

Agile project management (APM) can be defined as an iterative approach that promotes satisfying customer requirements, adjusts to change, and develops a working product in rapidly changing environments. Managers usually apply agile the projects requiring extraordinary speed flexibility their processes. Earned value (EVM) is fundamental part of establish practical measures. Often, managers use t...
