To test the feasibility of a nonrandomized stepped wedge design, we developed simulated data on patient care experiences and on QII implementation that had the structures and features of the expected data from a planned QII. We then applied the design in anticipation of performing an actual QII ...
In the work presented here, we explore application of a nonrandomized stepped wedge design using simulated data, in preparation for evaluation of an actual multisite QII in the Veterans Health Administration (VA), the largest integrated health care system in the United States. We document the ...
Non-standard wedge is one of the most complex structures in the design and manufacture of stamping dies for automotive panel.However,the traditional design of non-standard wedge is very complicated,which leads to a long design period and the design quality cannot be guaranteed. Therefore,a new ...
This paper focuses on designing a structure using a laser ultrasound technique, wherein wedge waves can propagate without dispersion. First, the impact of curvature radius and truncations on the wedge waves are investigated using finite element method, and the dispersion curves are obtained using a...

The main purpose of this blind four-arm randomized controlled trial was to study the effectiveness of a 6-month intervention of combined neuromuscular exercise and back care counseling or either intervention alone against a non-treatment control-arm for reducing pain and fear of pain in female heal...
. , . . needs to act on a specific plane, which in this case is defined by the wedge product of two vectors U , V ∈ T p M . How is it possible to obtain the plane U ∧ V with only the information of the finite loop γ and the finite holonomy H γ , O on M , g ?
The cement properties were optimized through a 2k factorial experimental design. Their model suggested an optimized composition for possible application as bone cement with an average Tmax of 40.34 °C, a compressive strength of 7.75 MPa, and radiopacity of 3.76 mmAl, all above the standard ...
