Vascular Endograft Infection with Listeria monocytogenes reated with Surgical Debridement but without Graft Removal by Beate Tanner-Steinmann, Katia Boggian

“…We report a case of vascular graft infection due to Listeria monocytogenes as an example of a less well-known manifestation of listeriosis and focus on the possible treatment procedures emphasizing a management with surgical debridement but preservation of the endograft, in contrast to the gold standard treatment of vascular graft infections which consists of a removal of the graft.…”

A relationship between the modified Euler method and e by Richard B. Darst, Thomas P. Dence

“…Bounds on the rapidity of convergence are determined, with the fastest convergence occuring when the parameter value is 12, so the generalized method reduces to the standard modified Euler method. The situation is similarly examined when f is altered.…”

Further Result on Passivity for Discrete-Time Stochastic T-S Fuzzy Systems with Time-Varying Delays by Ting Lei, Qiankun Song, Zhenjiang Zhao

“…By constructing appropriate Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals and employing stochastic analysis method and matrix inequality technique, a delay-dependent criterion to ensure the passivity for the considered T-S fuzzy systems is established in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) that can be easily checked by using the standard numerical software. An example is given to show the effectiveness of the obtained result.…”
