To ensure optimal and economical battery operation, it is necessary to consider its lifetime-limiting aspects, e.g., performance degradation costs. Battery commonly assessed by offline lifetime models. They are suitable for planning monitoring, but cannot be used in real-time operation. Therefore, this letter, an incremental cost estimation method operation proposed. It enables evaluation any t...

Understanding the interconnected relationships of large-scale information networks like social, scholar and Internet Things is vital for tasks recommendation fraud detection. The vast majority real-world are inherently heterogeneous dynamic, containing many different types nodes edges can change drastically over time. dynamicity heterogeneity make it extremely challenging to reason about networ...

We study sliding window multi-join processing in continuous queries over data streams. Several algorithms are reported for performing continuous, incremental joins, under the assumption that all the sliding windows fit in main memory. The algorithms include multiway incremental nested loop joins (NLJs) and multi-way incremental hash joins. We also propose join ordering heuristics to minimize th...

The aim of this study was to apply the findings of the European Stroke Prevention Study 2 (ESPS-2) to a paper that quantified and described the annual cost of ischaemic stroke in New Zealand, and to compare the cost of alternative drug regimens in the secondary prevention of ischaemic stroke. Comparisons were made between the costs of low-dosage aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) monotherapy and a ...

PURPOSE To estimate the cost-effectiveness of rufinamide relative to topiramate and lamotrigine as adjunctive treatment for children with Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS). METHODS A Markov decision analytic model was developed to estimate the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio over a three-year time horizon in patients with LGS uncontrolled by up to three antiepileptic drugs. Utilities were as...

BACKGROUND A low-cost bubble continuous positive airway pressure (bCPAP) device has been shown to be an excellent clinical alternative to nasal oxygen for the care of neonates with respiratory difficulty. However, the delivery of bCPAP requires more resources than the current routine care using nasal oxygen. We performed an economic evaluation to determine the cost-effectiveness of a low-cost b...
