Espace préhilbertienEn mathématiques, un espace préhilbertien est défini comme un espace vectoriel réel ou complexe muni d'un produit scalaire. Cette notion généralise celles d'espace euclidien ou hermitien dans le cas d'une dimension quelconque, tout en conservant certaines bonnes propriétés géométriques des espaces de dimension finie grâce aux propriétés du produit scalaire, mais en perdant un atout de taille : un espace préhilbertien de dimension infinie n'est pas nécessairement complet. On peut cependant le compléter, pour obtenir un espace de Hilbert.
Coronary circulationCoronary circulation is the circulation of blood in the arteries and veins that supply the heart muscle (myocardium). Coronary arteries supply oxygenated blood to the heart muscle. Cardiac veins then drain away the blood after it has been deoxygenated. Because the rest of the body, and most especially the brain, needs a steady supply of oxygenated blood that is free of all but the slightest interruptions, the heart is required to function continuously.
Clinical data acquisitionAcquisition or collection of clinical trial data can be achieved through various methods that may include, but are not limited to, any of the following: paper or electronic medical records, paper forms completed at a site, interactive voice response systems, local electronic data capture systems, or central web based systems. There is arguably no more important document than the instrument that is used to acquire the data from the clinical trial with the exception of the protocol, which specifies the conduct of that clinical trial.
