Many embedded real-time applications have strict time constraints to perform computations and access I/O devices. However, aspects related to real-time scheduling algorithms may interfere with the execution of jobs reducing the benefit of a task. We assume that the execution of a job has a positive benefit if performed inside an ideal time-interval. Operations performed before or after this ide...

L e principali artriti croniche ad eziopatogene-si immunoflogistica, nelle quali trovano ap-plicazione i farmaci " biologici " (v. oltre) sono la reumatoide e le sieronegative: artrite psoriasica, spondilite anchilosante, artriti reattive ed artriti " enteropatiche " (1-7). L'artrite reumatoide (AR) è una malattia cronica progressiva delle articolazioni associata a signifi-cativa morbilità, def...

In the current issue of the Archives of Medical Science two studies from the same group, an academic community cardiology practice [1, 2], address the issue of the impact of the implementation of secondary cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention guidelines on the long-term clinical outcome in patients with established coronary artery disease (CAD). In the 1st study [1] the differences in medica...

The combination of a real-time executive and an off-theshelf time-sharing operating system has the potential of providing both predictability and the comfort of a large application base. To isolate the real-time section from a significant class of faults in the (ever-growing) time-sharing operating system, address spaces can be used to encapsulate the time-sharing subsystem. However, in practic...

Using a real-life data set, we investigate the benefit of sharing market sales information in a setting where a theoretical model argues there is no benefit from such a collaboration scheme. The set of real Electronic Point Of Sales (EPOS) data and the orders that were placed by a retailer to a suppler was used. We have focused on products that operate under an every day low price strategy. To ...

The implementation of BIM in FM has been steadily growing interest for academic research. Yet the benefits CREM have, to present day, explored a limited extent. As research on remains narrowly investigated, this study follows an exploratory approach formulate implications further directions. Therefore, four-stage procedure was adopted: (1) identification and definition uses CREM; (2) validation...
