Objective: The development of the ship hull assembly pro-cess is possible by changing method basic parts at building site, which would shorten duration process and lead to cost reduction. One pos-sibilities increase dimensions mass units, as well crane capacity site. Methods: Ship methods involving sections, blocks modules are used in phase. In world’s best shipyards, ships built from or module...

Because of both the various effects clouds exert on the earth-atmospheric system and the cloud feedback, correct representations of clouds in numerical models are critical for accurate climate modeling and weather forecast. Unfortunately, determination of clouds and their radiative feedback processes is still the weakest component of current general circulation models (e.g., Senior and Mitchell...

OBJECTIVE The goal of this study was to determine whether wall stress at rest and during stress could explain the influence of left ventricular (LV) morphology on the accuracy of dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE). BACKGROUND The sensitivity of DSE appears to be reduced in patients with concentric remodeling, but the cause of this finding is unclear. METHODS We studied 161 patients wi...

Objective The relationship between excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) and cognitive performance of older adults remains unclear, especially when a healthy lifestyle is considered. study aimed to explore the association EDS in passive active situations general function among community-dwelling adults. Methods Two hundred seventy-one aged 60 above were recruited from community cohort Shangrao. Al...

Animation tools have proven to be effective as a means of visualising formal specijcations. Specijcations that might otherwise be impenetrable can be communicated to a wide range of people involved in the s o w a r e development p m cess. Here we argue that animation can also aid understanding of formal program development, or rejnement. We examine two case studies that demonstrate the effectiv...

Simulated ann ealing is applied to the problem of teachin g feed-forward neural networks with discret e-valued weights . Network performance is optimized by repea ted present ation of tr aining data at lower and lower temperatures. Several examples, including the parity and "clump-recognition " problem s are treated, scaling with network complexity is discussed , and the viabilit y of mean -fie...
