Term rewriting systems are a formalism in widespread use, often implemented by means of term graph rewriting. In this work we present preliminary results towards an elegant embedding of term graph rewriting in Constraint Handling Rules with rule priorities (CHR). As term graph rewriting is well-known to be incomplete with respect to term rewriting, we aim for sound jungle evaluation in CHR. Hav...

Thus, managing embedded systems software quality is necessary to. Relevant quality attributes are going to be met in embedded systems.Software quality attributes QAs such as reliability and modifiability have been used to define nonfunctional requirements of software systems for many years.founded on analysis of the software quality attributes at the architecture level. Attribute priorities the...

Evaluation of scientists working in a specific area of science is necessary, as they may strive for same limited resources, grants and academic promotions. One of the most common and accepted methods of assessing the performance and impact of a scientist is calculating the number of citations for their publications. However, such method suffer from certain shortcomings. It has become more and m...

Critical care specialists should be familiar with the initial management of injured patients. Dividing the evaluation and treatment of the patient into the primary, secondary, and tertiary surveys ensures that the multiply injured patient will be managed expeditiously. The primary survey identifies the acute life-threatening problems that must be managed immediately. The secondary survey identi...

Background Paediatric triage is a process to evaluate the conditions of children on their arrival in the Emergency Department. The goal of triage is to rapidly identify patients who are compromised or at risk of deterioration, assigning priorities of intervention and providing immediate assistance. The “red code” is attributed to any patient with potential or imminent risk of death, for whom ev...

We present feedback control techniques to intelligently support priorities of soft handoff calls during call admission control (CAC) in power-controlled DS-CDMA multicellular networks. We design a classic proportional controller to dynamically solve resource management problems, which arise during run-time adaptation, via continuously monitoring real-time system performance to adjust system par...

OBJECTIVE To systematically review literature on priorities in nursing research on health systems and services in the Region of the Americas as a step toward developing a nursing research agenda that will advance the Regional Strategy for Universal Access to Health and Universal Health Coverage. METHOD This was a systematic review of the literature available from the following databases: Web ...

Introduction The evaluation of biosurveillance system components is a complex, multi-objective decision that requires consideration of a variety of factors. Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis provides a methodology to assist in the objective analysis of these types of evaluation by creating a mathematical model that can simulate decisions. This model can utilize many types of data, both quantitat...

In the broad field of evaluation, the importance of stakeholders is often acknowledged and different categories of stakeholders are identified. Far less frequent is careful attention to analysis of stakeholders' interests, needs, concerns, power, priorities, and perspectives and subsequent application of that knowledge to the design of evaluations. This article is meant to help readers understa...

In recent years, an abundant literature related to preoperative evaluation of lung cancer patients has been published. Therefore, the European Respiratory Society (ERS) and the European Society of Thoracic Surgeons (ESTS) agreed to form a task force with the aim of developing new guidelines and recommendations to evaluate the fitness of lung cancer patients undergoing radical treatment. One of ...
