<h3>Abstract</h3> <b>Objectives</b>: To identify doctors who are vocationally trained but not currently practising as principals in general practice; their reasons for principals; and whether the prospect of a re-entry course would appeal to this group. <b>Design</b>: Postal questionnaire survey based on semistructured interviews. <b>Subjects</b>: Doctors had been were principals: 351 possible subjects identified by process "networking." <b>Setting</b>: Trent Regional Health Authority....
Transfection of neurones with an adenoviral vector (Ad) expressing high levels hsp70i was shown to protect primary hippocampal cultures from heat stress. To investigate one the molecular mechanisms which may underlie hsp70i's neuroprotective effects we measured luciferase activity in presence and absence following or chemical inactivation. Luciferase recovered 80% control recombinant vitro. also maintained exposed a denaturing stress if transfected Ad-hsp70i. These results support hypothesis...
A liquid film flows on the inner surface of a rotating horizontal cylinder. The simplest lubrication model assumes force balance between viscosity and streamwise component gravity, equation for thickness admits continuous solution only when average is less than certain critical value. Above this value, discontinuous possible but details are not accessible by means simple theory. This behavior can be traced to gradual periodic variation gravity in direction. We consider also two related...
Summary Background: Federated medical search engines are health information systems that provide a single access point to different types of information. Their efficiency as clinical decision support tools has been demonstrated through numerous evaluations. Despite their rigor, very few these studies report holistic evaluations and even fewer base on existing evaluation frameworks. Objectives: To evaluate federated engine, MedSocket, for its potential net benefits in an established setting....
Motivated by applications in aero-engines, steady two-dimensional thin-film flow on the inside of a circular cylinder is studied when film surface subject to mass and momentum transfer from impacting droplets. Asymptotic analysis used systematically identify distinguished limits that incorporate these effects at leading order provide new mathematical model. Applying both analytical numerical approaches model, set stable steady, solutions fit within rational framework determined. A number...
It is easy to get caught up in the potential surrounding KM. Yes, it promising and, if companies can realize that promise, KM will become important. In point of fact, though, a difficult, time-consuming, and expensive undertaking even under best circumstances. Unfortunately, today's world doesn't present circumstances for most enterprises. Budgetary resource constraints combine put IT microscope definable metrics, such as return on investment. This mindset challenges deliver tangible...
Abstract This paper presents a model of the engineering design process as sequences transformations between states information models describing design, functional requirements on which it is based, and constraints in defined. The itself considered to be described by explicit attributes are definitive or descriptive properties affect manufacture object, implicit, judgements, performance-related assessments, emergent properties. first considers required characteristics reviews use...
The move toward early detection and treatment of cancer presents challenges for value assessment using traditional endpoints. Current management rarely considers the full economic societal benefits therapies. Our study used a modified Delphi process to develop principles defining assessing therapies that aligns with current trajectory oncology research reflects broader notions value. 24 experts participated in consensus-building activities across 5 months (16 took part structured...
Abstract In the early stages of a design project it is necessary to evaluate determine its feasibility and where concentrate further work. Thus knowledge collaborating designers must be made available whilst still both incomplete uncertain, at time when many decisions have not yet been taken parallel designs may under consideration. A toolset being developed which will allow team build shared object-oriented model that able evolve in level detail certainty as progresses, thus providing...
Abstract Engineering information management may be divided into formal management, which involves data modelling, exchange and transaction handling, informal is concerned with the organisation delivery of design advice parameter data. This paper describes a system, called Review, has been developed for from multiple sources. The system uses hybrid hypertext/database approach to provide indexing viewing sources using arbitrary attribute sets, establishment relationships between entities both...
Agents are an emerging technology that holds the promise to revolutionize work and social interaction. They provide solutions real business problems present a powerful method of integrating systems, both internal external. This seminar introduces basics agent technology, provides examples several different types agents shows you how get started with this technology. Tutorial outline:
