Portfolio management system by Hemang, Hitesh Shah

“…Although they were successful at getting reasonable returns in the range of about 20%, the risk associated with the same was nearly 10%-20%. There were also certain other limitations in that approach, and therefore, there is a need to design a new model that can generate higher returns at the same risk levels. …”

How ready is general practice to improve quality in chronic kidney disease? A diagnostic analysis by Crinson, I, Gallagher, H, Thomas, N, de Lusignan, S

“…Some sought to implement the full guidance, others only the pay-for-performance targets. Nearly all practitioners had reservations as to whether CKD was really a disease; problematised the diagnosis of CKD purely on an estimate of glomerular filtration rate; questioned whether CKD in older people was part of natural ageing; and had experienced difficulty in explaining the condition to patients without frightening them. …”

Magnetic field amplification in laser-produced plasmas by Meinecke, J

“…In the early universe, matter was nearly homogeneously distributed; today, as a result of gravitational instabilities, it forms a web-like structure of clusters, filaments, and voids. …”

System dynamics of human body thermal regulation in outdoor environments by Melnikov, Valentin, Krzhizhanovskaya, Valeria V., Lees, Michael H., Sloot, Peter M. A.

“…We propose a modification of the skin blood flow model which, while keeping realistic values and responsiveness, improves skin temperature prediction nearly fourfold. We further analyze the sensitivity of the model with respect to climatic and personal parameters. …”
