Background: In Japan and elsewhere, there is major concern over individuals who are uninterested in health and reluctant to change their health behaviors.While previous studies have investigated cognitive and behavioral characteristics in this population, there is limited evidence on whether they recognize the significance of health, nor is it clea
Decision Criteria for Large Vessel Occlusion Using Transcranial Doppler Waveform Morphology
Background: The current lack of effective tools for prehospital identification of Large Vessel Occlusion (LVO) represents a significant barrier to efficient triage of stroke patients and detriment to treatment Dabbing Kit efficacy.The validation of objective Transcranial Doppler (TCD) metrics for LVO detection could provide first responders with re

Abstract 1964-1973 Doors Background Countries have long been making efforts by reducing greenhouse-gas emissions to mitigate climate change.In the agreements of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, involved countries have committed to reduction targets.However, carbon (C) sink and its involving processes by natural ecosystems
An Efficient Reliability Guaranteed Deployment Scheme for Service Function Chains
This paper encloses an in-depth investigation of a novel cost-efficient reliability-guaranteed deployment scheme for service function chains (SFCs) to tackle the drawbacks of the existing studies for the virtual network function (VNF) redundancy allocation.We model the VNF redundancy allocation as a cost minimization problem using the integer linea
