Clinical decision supports for brain-dead kidney allocation: a review study of requirements, challenges, and solutions

Introduction: With the change in the epidemiology of diseases, chronic kidney disease has shown a significant increase worldwide. Kidney transplantation is the optimal treatment option to improve patient quality of life. The main challenge in benefiting from a brain-dead patient's kidney is the selection of a right recipient in limited time. The purpose of this study was to review the requireme...

Mill Optimisation Programs

A MOP has five key steps: team formation; baseline analysis; benchmarking; project definition; implementation, monitoring and feedback. In the MOP approach, technical and business intellect is substituted for capital and equipment. Baseline analysis provides the current performance, variation of key production and process elements, and provides the data for cause and effect analysis. A MOP look...

Linearisation: An Optimisation for Nonlinear Functional Programs

Functional programming languages have great appeal from the point of view of both software design and amenability to formal reasoning, but to date they have suffered from poor performance when run on conventional computers. A promising solution to this probIem may be provided by program transformation and several schemes have been proposed which can give quite impressive optimisations. However,...
