Performance Measures in Million Hearts

CDC Grand Rounds: the million hearts initiative.

Cardiovascular disease, including heart disease and stroke, is the leading cause of death and disability in the United States. Every year, approximately 2 million persons in the United States have a heart attack or stroke and, as a result of these conditions, approximately 800,000 die from cardiovascular disease. For those persons who do survive a heart attack or stroke, many are faced with ser...

Risk Measures on Orlicz Hearts

Coherent, convex and monetary risk measures were introduced in a setup where uncertain outcomes are modelled by bounded random variables. In this paper, we study such risk measures on Orlicz hearts. This includes coherent, convex and monetary risk measures on L-spaces for 1 ≤ p < ∞ and covers a wide range of interesting examples. Moreover, it allows for an elegant duality theory. We prove that ...

Optimization of performance measures in Doroodzan Irrigation Network

Abstract- In this research, the performance measures of water equity and productivity have been optimizedin the entire DoroodzanIrrigation Network by using genetic algorithms. Results indicated thatirrigation water management improvement at field scale[increasing irrigation application efficiency (Ea) and water reduction fraction (WRF)] has much more impressive impact on raising the performance...

Turbofan Engine Performance under Reliability Measures Approach

In this paper, the authors investigated the various factors, which can affect the performance of a turbofan engine. For this, the various subunits of a turbofan engine like inlet duct, compressor, combustion chamber, liner, turbine, exhaust nozzle etc. are investigated to find its various reliability characteristics through Markov process and supplementary variable technique (SVT). The main adv...
