CardioPulse: developments in the treatment of aortic aneurysms in 2014
No full textSince the introduction of EndoVascular Aortic Repair (EVAR) for the
treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) more than 20 years
ago, the technique has evolved rapidly, from tubular grafts for
fairly simple abdominal aortic anatomy, to bifurcated, fenestrated,
branched, or parallel grafts for complex aortic aneurysms, no
longer confined to the infrarenal abdominal aorta

Interactive Multiple Objective Programming Using Tchebycheff Programs and Artificial Neural Networks
No full textA new interactive multiple objective programming procedure is developed that combines the strengths of the Interactive Weighted Tchebycheff Procedure (Steuer and Choo 1983) and the Interactive FFANN Procedure (Sun, Stam and Steuer 1993). In this new procedure, nondominated trial solutions are generated by solving Augmented Weighted Tchebycheff Programs (Steuer 1986), based on which the decision maker articulates his/her preference information by assigning "values" to these solutions or by making pairwise comparisons. The elicited preference information is used to train a feed-forward artificial neural network, which in turn is used to screen new trial solutions for presentation to decision maker in the next iteration. Computational results are reported, comparing the current procedure with the Interactive Weighted Tchebycheff Procedure and the Interactive FFANN Procedure. The results show that this new procedure yields good quality solutions
Interactive multiple objective programming using Tchebycheff programs and artificial neural networks
No full textA new interactive multiple objective programming procedure is developed that combines the strengths of the interactive weighted Tchebycheff procedure (Steuer and Choo. Mathematical Programming 1983;26(1):326–44.) and the interactive FFANN procedure (Sun, Stam and Steuer. Management Science 1996;42(6):835–49.). In this new procedure, nondominated solutions are generated by solving augmented weighted Tchebycheff programs (Steuer. Multiple criteria optimization: theory, computation and application. New York: Wiley, 1986.). The decision maker indicates preference information by assigning “values” to or by making pairwise comparisons among these solutions. The revealed preference information is then used to train a feed-forward artificial neural network. The trained feed-forward artificial neural network is used to screen new solutions for presentation to the decision maker on the next iteration. The computational experiments, comparing the current procedure with the interactive weighted Tchebycheff procedure and the interactive FFANN procedure, produced encouraging results

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
Ausmaß und Stärke der automatischen Stabilisatoren in Deutschland vor dem Hintergrund der jüngsten Steuer- und Sozialreformen
No full textIn dieser Arbeit werden die Auswirkungen der in den Jahren 1999 bis 2005 durchgeführten Steuer- und Sozialreformen auf die automatische Stabilisierungswirkung der Einnahmen und Ausgaben des staatlichen Gesamthaushalts in Deutschland untersucht. Gegenstand der Untersuchung sind dabei sowohl die Auswirkungen der Steuer- und Sozialreformen auf die Stabilisierungswirkung einzelner Einnahmen und Ausgaben als auch die Auswirkungen auf die Stabilisierungswirkung des staatlichen Haushalts insgesamt. Zudem wird untersucht, wie sich die Intensität der automatischen Stabilisatoren Deutschlands im internationalen Vergleich darstellt. Abschließend wird vor dem Hintergrund der gefundenen Ergebnisse die Rolle der automatischen Stabilisatoren in der deutschen Fiskalpolitik diskutiert
