More for Less - Getting More Clients by Broadcasting Less Data

Broadcasting is scalable in terms of served users but not in terms of served data volume. Additionally, waiting time deadlines may be difficult to uphold due to the data clutter, forcing the clients to flee the system. This work proposes a way of selecting subsets of the original data that ensure near-optimal service ratio. The proposed technique relies on the novel data compatibility distance,...

Bronchiolitis: doing less and still getting better.

Infection with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is among the universal experiences of childhood. Worldwide, by 1 year of life, half of all children have been infected with RSV and by 2 years of age, virtually all children have been infected with RSV. Unlike many viral infections, it is the prevalence, as opposed to the severity, of infection that motivates our collective focus on the optimal t...

Selective Voting - Getting More for Less in Sensor Fusion

Many real life problems are characterized by the structure of data derived from multiple sensors. The sensors may be independent, yet their information considers the same entities. Thus, there is a need to efficiently use the information rendered by numerous datasets emanating from different sensors. A novel methodology to deal with such problems is suggested in this work. Measures for evaluati...

Thanks to body exercise, getting mobile and being less dependent.

The study was aimed at determining the influence of aerobic endurance exercise and the intake of a multivitamin beverage (MV) on institutionalized people in their 8th and 9th decades of life. The study comprised 4 groups: exercise + MV (n = 16 completer, age: 83 +/- 8 years), exercise (n = 8, age: 82 +/- 8 years), MV (n = 8, age: 83 +/- 5 years), control (n = 7, age: 83 +/- 5 years). The period...
