Idiopathic first seizure in adult life

This thesis is based on a prospective investigation of 226 patients aged 15 years and older, who were referred to one of the participating hospitals due to a possible idiopathic first seizure. Only those patients were admitted to the study in whom an obvious cause on clinical grounds for the occurrence of the seizure was lacking. A standard EEG, an EEG after partial sleep deprivation and a computerised tomography scan (CT scan) were obtained in all patients. None of the patients were treated with antiepileptic drugs, unless a second seizure occurred. Follow-up in all patients was 1 - 2 years

Hedging and standard - MRP

In standard-MRP packages it is possible to use safety stocknorms. In none of the standard-MRP packages however, it is possible to use hedging as an alternative technique for safety stocknorras, although this technique has several advantages from a theoretical point of view. At Eindhoven University of Technology an attempt is made to incorporate hedging in an existing MRP-package.From the functional design it appeared, that what originally seemed to be a simple addition to the options available in an MRP-package, turned out to have a rather large impact on many of the MRP-modules.<br/
