Maximizing Health Impact through Resource Allocation

Self-archiving dermatology articles.

M anuscripts, like embryos and tumors, develop in stages (Table I), and dermatology authors increasingly expose this development to examination by self-archiving—that is, by posting manuscripts or published papers on personal Web sites and in public repositories (Table II) before, simultaneous with, or after publication in academic journals. When authors publish in closed-access traditional jou...

Beyond "utilitarianism": maximizing the clinical impact of moral judgment research.

The use of hypothetical moral dilemmas--which pit utilitarian considerations of welfare maximization against emotionally aversive "personal" harms--has become a widespread approach for studying the neuropsychological correlates of moral judgment in healthy subjects, as well as in clinical populations with social, cognitive, and affective deficits. In this article, we propose that a refinement o...

Open Archiving for Open Research

It is a foregone conclusion that all refereed journals will soon be available online; most of them already are. This means that one can access them from any networked desk-top. The literature will all be interconnected by citation, author, and keyword/subject links, allowing for unheard-of power and ease of access and navigability. Successive drafts of pre-refereeing preprints will be linked to...

Maximizing Speedup through Self-Tuning of Processor Allocation

We address the problem of maximizing the speedup of an individual parallel job through the selection of an appropriate number of processors on which to run it. If a parallel job exhibits speedup that increases monotonically in the number of processors, the solution is clearly to make use of all available processors. However, many applications do not have this characteristic: they reach a point ...
