Intermittent demand is characterized by demand data that has many time periods with zero demands. It is hard to model intermittent demand by conventional distributions. In previous research, an algorithm to generate intermittent demand was developed. The algorithm generates demand based on two stages: probabilistically generating whether or not a demand will occur and then generating non-zero d...

Case management has evolved from a grassroots method to assist patients and facilities to navigate changes in the healthcare system, to a fully fledged profession with core competencies, Standards of Practice, and an evidence-based peer review journal. With the latest healthcare reform, it is clear that case management leads to many initiatives: it is our time to lead.

Coupled Majorana zero modes with nonzero energies are generally detrimental to the non-Abelian statistics due additional dynamic phase. Nevertheless, we show that a well-connected lead can introduce local non-Hermitian dissipation term shift of both coupled zero, and surprisingly turn mode far from into dark exponentially small dissipation. This conquer drawback partially overlapped possess pro...

In this issue of the Journal, Etzioni et al. (1) suggest a novel approach to estimating overdiagnosis in breast cancer. However, there is a key assumption in their method regarding the nature of overdiagnosis that is unlikely to hold and leads to an underestimate of the overdiagnosis rate. To understand this assumption, we need to go back to basic definitions. Lead time is the time from detecti...

Square Complex Orthogonal Space Time Block Codes (COSTBC) with no zero entries are known for 2,4 and 8 transmit antennas. But, for 16 transmit antennas COSTBCs with no zero entries have not been reported. Zero entries in the design lead to the problem of switching off of transmit antenna, imposing severe constraints on hardware implementation. The zeros also result in the increase of the Peak t...

In this paper the spectral density of the additive jitter noise in continuous time (CT) Delta-Sigma modulators (DSM) is derived analytically. Making use of the analytic results, extracted in this paper, a novel method for elimination of the damaging effects of the clock jitter in continuous time Delta-Sigma modulators is proposed. In this method instead of the conventional waveforms used in the...

Abstract We study the non-inertial effects of a rotating frame on spin-zero, Duffin–Kemmer–Petiau-like oscillator in cosmic string space-time with non-commutative geometry momentum space. The spin-zero DKP-like is obtained from Klein–Gordon Lagrangian non-standard prescription for coupling. find that solutions time-independent radial equation non-zero non-commutativity parameter parallel to are...

We initiate a study of super-perfect zero-knowledge proof systems. Loosely speaking, these are proof systems for which the interaction can be perfectly simulated in strict probabilistic polynomial-time. In contrast, the standard definition of perfect zero-knowledge only requires that the interaction can be perfectly simulated by a strict probabilistic polynomial-time that is allowed to fail wit...
