Maximizing the Time Value of Cryptocurrency in Smart Contracts with Decentralized Money Markets

Die Digitalisierung ist mehr als ein technologischer Trend – sie verändert auch die Organisation im Krankenhaus. Daher ist dieses Thema zur Chefsache geworden. Schließlich geht es um die grundsätzlichen Geschäftsmodelle und daher um die Zukunftsfähigkeit der Einrichtung. Speziell die Blockchaintechnologie wirft grundsätzliche Fragen auf.

Plasma Lactate Level

Changes in myocardial metabolism can be detected externally by registration of time-activity curves after administration of radioiodinated fatty acids. In this scintigraphic study the influence of lactate on fatty acid metabolism was investigated in the normal human myocardium, traced with 123l-17-iodoheptadecanoic acid (123l-17-HDA). In patients (paired, n = 7) lactate loading decreased the uptake of 123l-17-HDA significantly from 27 (control: 22-36) to 20 counts/min/pixel (16-31; p <0.05 Wilcoxon). The half-time value increased to more than 60 rriin (n = 5), oxidation decreased from 61 to 42%. Coronary vasodilatation, a well-known side effect of lactate loading, was studied separately in a dipyridamole study (paired, n = 6). Coronary vasodilatation did not influence the parameters of the time-activity curve. These results suggest that changes in plasma lactate level as occurring, among other effects, during exercise will influence the parameters of dynamic 123l-17-HDA scintigraphy of the heart.

Parameter Values

Optimal fitting of a myocardial time-activity curve is accomplished with a monoexponential plus a constant, resulting in three parameters: amplitude and half-time of the monoexponential and the constant. The aim of this study was to estimate the precision of the calculated parameters. The variability of the parameter values as a function of the acquisition time was studied in 11 patients with cardiac complaints. Of the three parameters the half-time value varied most strongly with the acquisition time. An acquisition time of 80 min was needed to keep the standard deviation of the half-time value within ±10%. To estimate the standard deviation of the half-time value as a function of the parameter values, of the noise content of the time-activity curve and of the acquisition time, a model experiment was used. In most cases the SD decreased by 50% if the acquisition time was increased from 60 to 90 min. A low amplitude/constant ratio and a high half-time value result in a high SD of the half-time value. Tables are presented to estimate the SD in a particular case.

Asking Questions

This series of videos, Chief Resource Management Officer, decontextualizes and amplifies mundane tasks and actions, exposing an inherent absurdity and dry humor. Conceptually and visually, I engage themes of corporate management structures, cult dynamics, and Sisyphean tasks. Within this work, I am primarily interested in developing situations that disrupt familiar social and political hierarchies. Utilizing recognizable apparel and gestures, I playfully occupy the threshold of absurdity while asking questions about time, value, routines, and the monetization of work and/or presence.

The current process of Know Your Customer (KYC) used by banks is time-consuming, expensive, and redundant in practice. A Thomson Reuters Research states that while banks globally spend around 60 million USD on an average, this number may go up to 500 million USD for some banks [1]. Hence, to improve the efficiency of this process, the use of a blockchain-based mechanism is suggested. The use of smart contracts also provides scope for adding features that cannot be achieved by the current process. The paper majorly discusses the advantages and disadvantages of using blockchain for performing KYC processes.
