Furthermore, the implementation of volume-based policies aimed at improving surgical outcomes implies that policy makers have embraced the dominance of the practice makes perfect explanation.
Following implementation of volume-based policies, and within the new configuration, the next challenge is to identify characteristics of both centres and surgeons associated with good outcomes so that these practices might be used in both selection and training and also emulated by others to improve outcomes even further (Begg and Scardino, 2003; Shahian and Normand, 2003).
This in turn facilitates parallel and hardware implementations of volume rendering.
The connotation, design optimization and implementation of the Volume Fracturing technique are discussed.
Owing to its inherent computational complexity, practical implementation of digital volume correlation (DVC) for internal displacement and strain mapping faces important challenges in improving its computational efficiency.
In this paper, we present the implementation of a volume-of-fluid- VOF -based algorithm for the simulation of free-surface flow problems on general purpose graphical processing units (GPGPUs).
The nationwide implementation of a hospital volume minimum policy for cardiovascular procedures based on volume thresholds promoted by the Leapfrog Group [ 7] would have required the annual redistribution of more than 231,000 patients who underwent CABG or PCI at low volume hospitals between 1998 and 2001.
Processing implementation of the conservative Volume Of Fluid (cVOF) method for two fluids with a density ratio of 0.9 such as oil and water.
This work is related with the implementation of a finite volume method to solve the 2D Shallow Water Equations on Graphic Processing Units (GPU).
The implementation of the finite volume methods in unstructured triangular meshes provides the best results even without low Mach number corrections provided that a higher-order advective discretization for the advective fluxes is employed.
In more recent studies done in clinical trial patient populations after the widespread implementation of low tidal volume ventilation, severity of illness as measured by APACHE II or APACHE III has remained a robust clinical predictor of mortality as have age, and the presence of non-pulmonary organ failures [12, 13].
