The Role of mTOR Inhibitors in Liver Transplantation: Reviewing the Evidence by Goran B. Klintmalm, Björn Nashan

“…Clearly there is a need for better immunosuppressive agents that maintain similar rates of efficacy and renal function whilst minimizing adverse effects. The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitors with a mechanism of action that is different from other immunosuppressive agents has the potential to address some of these issues. …”

VCG with Communities on Random Ad Hoc Networks by Gunes Ercal, Rafit Izhak-Ratzin, Rupak Majumdar, Adam Meyerson

“…While some recent truthful protocols for the traditional (individual) agent model have improved upon the frugality of VCG by selecting paths to minimize not only the cost but the overpayment, we show that extending such protocols to the community model requires solving NP-complete problems which are provably hard to approximate.…”

The polysemy of the colour term white in English, Russian, Tajik and Uzbek by Zayniev Daler

“…The conceptual space of the colour term white in lexicographic work tends to be kept compact rather than articulated in great detail, just like in the case of other types of colours, i.e. in an attempt to minimize polysemy, its senses are typically lumped, rather than split. …”

Rivaroxaban and Hemostasis in Emergency Care by Jürgen Koscielny, Edita Rutkauskaite

“…In patients receiving long-term rivaroxaban therapy who require elective surgery, discontinuation of rivaroxaban 20–30 hours beforehand is normally sufficient to minimize bleeding risk. For emergency surgery, we advise against prophylactic use of hemostatic blood products, even with high rivaroxaban concentrations. …”

A Multiuser Detector Based on Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm for DS-UWB Systems by Zhendong Yin, Xiaohui Liu, Zhilu Wu

“…In ABC, a colony of artificial bees search for rich artificial food sources; the optimizing numerical problems are converted to the problem of finding the best parameter which minimizes an objective function. Then, the artificial bees randomly discover a population of initial solutions and then iteratively improve them by employing the behavior: moving towards better solutions by means of a neighbor search mechanism while abandoning poor solutions. …”

Waveform Characteristics of Tunnel Blast Waves and a Wave-Blocking Method by Xianshun Zhou, Xuemin Zhang, Tianhe Ren, Xuefeng Ou, Wenchao Xiong, Liming Zhang, Lei Zhang

“…The impact of blast wave air overpressure (AOp) may cause damage to nearby structures and significant noise pollution. In order to minimize the impact of the blast wave on the buildings around the tunnel, a new wave-blocking trolley (NWBT) was proposed to control the AOp during the construction of the Baitacun tunnel, as the nearby villages were located less than 100 m from the tunnel portal. …”
