The Physiology, Pharmacology and Therapeutic Manipulation of the Internal Anal Sphincter by Oliver M Jones, Alison F Brading, Neil J McC Mortensen

“…However, drugs to increase sphincter tone, and augment intermittent and appropriate relaxation are also being evaluated. The initial results with this medical approach to anorectal disease have often been disappointing, failing to match the results achievable with surgery, and many of these drugs have a high rate of side effects in the short term. …”

Les stratégies spatiales de la population haïtienne à Miami by Cédric Audebert

“…The effects of the federal immigration policy has been contrasted, bringing about the withdrawal of immigrants into themselves in Little Haiti when the policy was unpropitious or allowing a residential mobility in times of relaxed legislation. Subsequently, the growing complexity of the Haitian immigration space, characterized by a rapid extension and change in its forms, is apparent through a dichotomy between the traditional enclave and the new suburban settlements. …”

Rotating antibiotics selects optimally against antibiotic resistance, in theory by Robert E. Beardmore, Rafael Peña-Miller

“…   Using mathematical models that do not explicitly incorporate the spatial dynamics of pathogen transmission within the ICU or hospital and assuming the antibiotics are from distinct functional groups, we use a control theoretic-approach to prove that one can relax the medical notion of what constitutes an antibiotic rotation and so obtain protocols that are arbitrarily close to the optimum.Finally, we show that theoretical feedback control measures that rotate between different antibiotics motivated directly by the outcome of clinical studies can be deployed to good effect to reduce the prevalence of antibiotic resistance below what can be achieved with random antibiotic use.…”

The Role of Initial Credit Distribution Scheme in Managing Network Mobility and Maximizing Reserve Capacity: Considering Traveler’s Cognitive Illusion by Fei Han, Lin Cheng

“…Furthermore, the mathematical program with equilibrium constraint (MPEC) for the optimal ICDS design problem is established, with the optimization objective being maximizing network reserve capacity. A modified relaxation algorithm is adopted to solve the MPEC. The numerical example shows that a properly designed ICDS can not only improve the network reserve capacity, but also decrease the travel cost of all the travelers in the network simultaneously.…”

Service function chain embedding algorithm with wireless multicast in mobile edge computing network by Kan WANG, Nan ZHAO, Junhuai LI, Huaijun WANG

“…To resolve the excessive system overhead and serious traffic congestion in user-oriented service function chain (SFC) embedding in mobile edge computing (MEC) networks,a content-oriented joint wireless multicast and SFC embedding algorithm was proposed for the multi-base station and multi-user edge networks with MEC servers.By involving four kinds of system overhead,including service flow,server function sustaining power,server function service power and wireless transmission power,an optimization model was proposed to jointly design SFC embedding with multicast beamforming.Firstly,with Lagrangian dual decomposition,the problem was decoupled into two independent subproblems,namely,SFC embedding and multicast beamforming.Secondly,with the L<sub>p</sub> norm penalty term-based successive convex approximation algorithm,the integer programming-based SFC embedding problem was relaxed to an equivalent linear programming one.Finally,the non-convex beamforming optimization problem was transformed into a series of convex ones via the path following technique.Simulation results revealed that the proposed algorithm has good convergence,and is superior to both the optimal SFC embedding with unicasting and random SFC embedding with multicasting in terms of system overhead.…”
