Facility delivery also provides an opportunity to employ obstetrical interventions to minimize duration of rupture of membranes and to prevent prolonged labor, both identified as risk factors for intrapartum HIV transmission [ 8, 9].
Other techniques for designing the pulse shaping filters that have been reported are based on optimization techniques with a specific objective function such as maximizing the robustness against timing jitter [2, 3, 8 10] minimizing the duration of the impulse response [11 13] or minimizing the peak to average power ratio (PAPR) at the transmitter filter output [14].
The values of β and γ for which the mean duration was minimized were similar to those found in our experiment, and furthermore they maintained this property of minimizing the duration of split events whatever the group size considered.
This finding confirms the saccadic flight style and gaze strategy that aims at minimizing the duration of rotational head movements, while the intersaccadic interval has a duration of some tens of milliseconds [2], [27].
It also corresponds to a basal control condition that we, and others (e.g. [57] [59]) have used to demonstrate the regulated expression of activity-dependent genes in the contexts of hearing and singing, while minimizing the duration of social separation.
Achieving rapid cure (78%) and minimizing the duration of MV (76%) were cited as the most important aims of treatment.
Third, excessive antibiotic use should be avoided by accurately diagnosing the infection, using culture results to de-escalate initial therapy, and minimizing the duration of therapy.
The two main optimization criteria for migrating birds are to minimize the duration of the migration and to minimize the energy spent on the migration [14].
A number of methods should be used to minimize the duration of the mouth opening limitation and, accordingly, to minimize the severity of the adhesion and to obtain satisfactory therapeutic effect.
