A systematic methodology for an accurate evaluation of various existing linearization procedures sustaining mean fields theories for nonlinear composites is proposed and applied to recent homogenization methods.
For justification of PD-SAR procedure, sustained blood supply to the remnant pancreas is mandatory.
Another patient, in whom a scoliotic deformity and a renal hematoma had complicated the procedure, sustained a thermal injury to the duodenum that required laparotomy and repair.
A health care cost utilization study in the United States [ 28] attempted to assess the cost per day of patency after vascular reconstruction, and to determine if the initial cost savings of endovascular procedures were sustained over time.
There may well be considerable room for improvement in provider skills and medical understanding, adherence to standard protocols and interventions, prevention measures, maintenance of adequate supplies of basic medications and materials, procedures for sustained monitoring and follow-up, coordination and referral mechanisms, and management and information systems.
The effect was evident at 6 months after the procedure and sustained over the entire observational period of 5 years.
Similarly, infants in neonatal care units (NCUs) have a higher risk of HAIs because of their immature immune systems, their skin does not provide a strong barrier against organisms in the environment and a large number of these infants are premature and often require invasive procedures to sustain their life such as mechanical ventilation and total parenteral nutrition [ 3].
A standard dataset was extracted from the CHOA trauma registry including demographic variables (age, gender, race, ethnicity, payer, street address, and zip code) and non-demographic variables (medical record number [MRN], height of fall, MOI, injuries sustained, procedures performed, Injury Severity Score [ISS], and ED disposition).
The define-measure-analyze-improve-control (DMAIC) constitutes a systematic procedure for achieving sustained improvements in the manufacturing process and ultimately in the end product.
Although theoretic advantages of both procedures are strongly debated in the literature, the advantages of either procedure cannot be sustained by good quality studies comparing both approaches directly.
