Optimization of the surgical arteriovenous fistula for end-stage renal disease

JVS-Vascular Insights
Objective: It is widely acknowledged that an arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the optimal vascular access for dialysis; however, the reported outcomes following AVF creation vary widely, with primary patency rates that range from 50% to 65% at 1 year. Many

Separating physical impacts from natural variability using piggybacking technique [PDF]

Advances in Geosciences, 2019
Abstract. In a chaotic system, like moist convection, it is difficult to separate the impact of a physical process from effects of natural variability. This is because modifying even a small element of the system physics typically leads to a different system evolution and it is difficult to tell whether the difference comes from the physical impact or ...
