Comparison Of The Results

SummaryA pair of printing scalers was used to record the information obtained by external monitoring of the isotope dilution curve following the intravenous injection of radioiodinated human serum albumin. The first scaler gives the differential count rate of the curve at increments of one second, whereas the second integrates continuously the isotope dilution curve. This recording device enabled cardiac output determinations to be calculated rapidly at the bedside without any loss in accuracy.Using this method in 15 normal individuals, the cardiac output was found to be 6.13 ± 0.73 liters/minute (Mean ± 1 S.D.), with a cardiac index of 3.36 ± 0.35 liters/minute/m2. In the same group of normals, the stroke index (stroke volume/surface area) amounted to 50 ± 7.3 ml/beat/m2.Comparison of the results of this method with those obtained by integration of the entire isotope dilution curve by an IBM 1620 computer showed excellent agreement, proving the validity of the suggested technique.

SummaryThe effect of several tissue thromboplastins on the abnormal factor X (factor X Friuli) has been investigated.The prothrombin time varied between 33.6 and 69 sec. The prothrombin time percentile values (saline dilution curve and Quick’s formula for citrated plasma) varied between 6.6 and 22% and between 10.9 and 32.8%, respectively. The prothrombin time patient/normal ratio varied between 2.24 and 4.43.The factor X level varied between 3.5 and 20% of normal.Significant correlations were found to exist between the percentile factor X level and the prothrombin time in seconds, the percentile prothrombin time values and the prothrombin time patient/normal ratio. Thromboplastins of human origin yielded the lowest factor X values namely 5% thereby appearing to be practically “inert” with regard to the abnormal factor X. Thromboplastins obtained from rabbit lung on the contrary yielded the highest values, namely 15.3%. Thromboplastins obtained from simian or rabbit brain gave values intermediate between these two extremes.

Knowledge Based Economy

The existence of big data of Indonesian FDI (foreign direct investment)/ CDI (capital direct investment) has not been exploited somehow to give further ideas and decision making basis. Example of data exploitation by data mining techniques are for clustering/labeling using K-Mean and classification/prediction using Naïve Bayesian of such DCI categories. One of DCI form is the ‘Quick-Wins’, a.k.a. ‘Low-Hanging-Fruits’ Direct Capital Investment (DCI), or named shortly as QWDI. Despite its mentioned unfavorable factors, i.e. exploitation of natural resources, low added-value creation, low skill-low wages employment, environmental impacts, etc., QWDI , to have great contribution for quick and high job creation, export market penetration and advancement of technology potential. By using some basic data mining techniques as complements to usual statistical/query analysis, or analysis by similar studies or researches, this study has been intended to enable government planners, starting-up companies or financial institutions for further CDI development. The idea of business intelligence orientation and knowledge generation scenarios is also one of precious basis. At its turn, Information and Communication Technology (ICT)’s enablement will have strategic role for Indonesian enterprises growth and as a fundamental for ‘knowledge based economy’ in Indonesia.

The sustainably available wood use potential in Swiss forests Based on the most recent simulations created using the Massimo forest growth model, the sustainably available wood use potential in Swiss forests was calculated for five management scenarios for the next three decades as well as for two additional time periods in the future (to monitor the long-term effects). The term “sustainably available wood use potential” covers those wood quantities that could be put on the market, taking into account socio-ecological and economic restrictions on use. The sustainably available wood use potential is provided for production regions, priority functions as well as the assortment and qualities of timber. The previously used factors of the applied “onion” model were checked and modified, if necessary, in order to take new findings and current cost developments into consideration. The calculations for all scenarios come up with a sustainably available wood use potential that is much lower than in earlier investigations. Depending on the scenario and decade, sustainably available wood use potential accounts for less than 50% of the total use potential. The biggest decrease in total use potential was due to economic framework conditions. Turning to Switzerland as a whole, towards the end of the investigation period (2106) those scenarios including a sharp increase in use in the first three decades result in a sustainably available wood use potential that is clearly lower than the reference value used at the beginning of the simulation. In the basic scenario (constant stock) and in the scenario in which the form of management used to date (increasing stock) was simulated, the sustainably available wood use potential at national level remained more or less the same throughout the simulation period, ranging from 5 to 6 million m3 per year.
