The present study uses a continuous approach and provides such a new perspective to the negative effects of night work load as a possible risk factor for undesirable health effects.
The design sensitivities are derived based on the adjoint lattice Boltzmann method (ALBM), whose basic idea is that the adjoint problem is first formulated using a continuous adjoint approach, and the adjoint problem is then solved using the LBM.
The required mathematical modelling is carried on using a continuous mixtures approach, which lead to an integro-differential population balance equation, solved with an approximant built with block-pulse functions.
The swelling properties of model filled elastomers consisting of crosslinked polyethylacrylate chains mixed with grafted silica nanoparticles are analysed using a continuous media mechanics approach.
Using a Continuous Quality Improvement approach, routine antenatal, intrapartum and postnatal care systems and processes were revised to support implementation of evidence based postnatal practice.
Chen et al. tackled this question long before conclusive experimental evidence was available, using a continuous deterministic modelling approach based on ordinary differential equations.
The raw data were analyzed using the Sedfit data analysis package, using a continuous c(s) approach, and the weight-average sedimentation coefficients, ⟨ s*⟩, were calculated by integration of the c(s) distribution.
Monthly support to all facilities took place including an orientation to the PMTCT protocol, review of local data and identification of bottlenecks to optimal coverage using a continuous quality improvement approach.
The models were built following a statistical approach using a continuous Hidden Markov Model, a black-box state space modeling approach using Recursive Multi-Layer Perceptrons, and a histrogram-based approach.
