FLUCTUATING DEMAND-ORIENTED OPTIMIZATION OF TRAIN LINE PLANNING CONSIDERING CARRIAGE RESOURCES TRANSFER UNDER FLEXIBLE COMPOSITIONS

Fluctuating Demand-Oriented Optimization of Train Line Planning Considering Carriage Resources Transfer under Flexible Compositions

The intercity railway is subject to variation and fluctuation in demand both in time and space over a day to a large extent.In that case, more advanced line planning techniques are practically needed to match the non-equilibrium passenger demand.We propose an integer linear programming model for adapting to the fluctuating demand and improving rail

Core outcome sets for trials of interventions to prevent and to treat multimorbidity in adults in low and middle-income countries: the COSMOS study

Introduction The burden of multimorbidity is recognised increasingly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), creating a strong emphasis on the need for effective Training Tables evidence-based interventions.Core outcome sets (COS) appropriate for the study of multimorbidity in LMICs do not presently exist.These are required to standardise repo

Learning from Wildfire Disaster Experience in California NICUs

Wildfires have been affecting California greatly, and vulnerable patients in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) are not exempt.Our aim acoustic grommet was to learn how personnel working in NICUs of California hospitals handled issues of neonatal transfer during wildfire disasters in recent years, with an ultimate goal to share lessons learned w
