Inversion of confluent Vandermonde matrices

This paper is concerned with the inversion of confluent Vandermonde matrices. A novel and simple recursive algorithm for inverting confluent Vandermonde matrices is presented. The algorithm is suitable for classroom use in both numerical as well as symbolic computation. Examples are included to illustrate the proposed algorithm.

贵港航运枢纽电站二期工程快速施工技术措施

贵港航运枢纽二期工程通过优化设计，重新调整施工进度计划，压缩施—工期，采用了许多先进的施工技术措施，诸如，在截流施工技术上，采用上游戗堤单向立堵，下游紧跟推进技术措施；在围堰堰体基岩防渗帷幕钻孔灌浆施工中，采用了右岸提前预进占，提前钻孔灌浆施工措施；水上部分钻孔灌浆采用在浮桶上投设钻孔灌浆平台的新措施等．通过以上措施，实现了两个枯水期的工程一个枯水期完成，使二期工程提前一年完工，早日实现了枢纽经济效益和社会效益的发挥．     

IPA模型对Hopfield模型神经网络的改进

考虑Ｈｏｐｆｉｅｌｄ模型中假态之间的布尔逻辑关系，提出利用ＩＰＡ模型对神经网络中的假态进行抑制，并和原网络的性能进行了比较，结果表明：改进后的网络性能比Ｈｏｐｆｉｅｌｄ模型和ＩＰＡ模型均有较大提高。

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy in pancreas transplant recipients

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the treatment of choice for symptomatic cholelithiasis. Since its introduction in 1987, this procedure has been employed with increasing frequency as its safety has been documented in numerous studies. Absolute contraindications to laparoscopic cholecystectomy have become relative contraindications, and patients previously felt to be at excessive risk for laparoscopic cholecystectomy are viewed as patients who may benefit from laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The use of this procedure in patients with comorbid medical conditions has the potential to decrease patient morbidity. Patients who have previously undergone solid organ transplantation and require immunosuppressive therapy are a group of patients who may benefit from laparoscopic cholecystectomy. We report four patients who have previously undergone combined renal and pancreas transplantation who underwent successful laparoscopic cholecystectomy.     

Do We Stand on Common Ground? A Threat Appraisal Model for Terror Alerts Issued by the Department of Homeland Security

The fabric and faces of threat, and the expediency and efficiency in the communication of threat, are examined with a threat appraisal model. This model is empirically tested on an ongoing communication challenge, the issuance of terror alerts by the United States' Department of Homeland Security (DHS), focusing on how threat is appraised by both the conservative and liberal audiences. Findings showed a shared view by the DHS and conservative audiences on the levels and nature of threats; liberal audiences thought otherwise. Though there appeared to be a consensus between the conservative and liberal audiences on the efficacy of threat communication, more internal consistency within DHS is needed to optimise its effectiveness.
