BACKGROUND Oncology providers frequently underestimate the incidence of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV), and patients often are reluctant to report symptoms. Inadequate patient-provider communication is a significant barrier to optimal management of this debilitating toxicity. METHODS The author reviews relevant published data and methods to optimize the clinical care of patie...

The importance of computer applications and telecommunication services relying on eecient multi-destination communication is growing rapidly. It is now likely that a signiicant portion of the overall traac in future communication environments will be of the multi-destination type. At the same time, lightwave technology is emerging as a promising candidate for implementing the next generation of...

Transmission energy management is a key issue to optimize the life-time operation of the overall wireless network. However, designing a communication protocol for wireless networked control system brings the additional challenge of guaranteed stability as compared to traditional wireless sensor network. The motivation of this paper is to minimize the energy consumption of the communication syst...

Received (received date) Revised (revised date) Communicated by (Name of Editor) ABSTRACT Implementations of various fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithms are presented for distributed-memory multiprocessors. These algorithms use data redistribution to localize the computation. The goal is...

In this paper, we present a distributed algorithm for dynamic data replication of an object in a distributed system. The algorithm changes the replication scheme, i.e., number of replicas and their location in the distributed system, to optimize the amount of communication. In other words, the algorithm dynamically adapts the replication scheme of an object to the pattern of read-write requests...

This paper presents a preliminary study aimed to optimize the signal characteristics of an optical indoor wireless communication system for telemedicine and mobile user applications. Specifically, detected signals associated with experimental geometries based on line-of-sight (LOS)-pointto-point-optical link and line-of-sight (LOS)-point-to-pointparallel to a surface-optical links are shown. In...

Distributed systems have several challenges related to large datasets and numerous communication channels, and it is desirable to design systems that optimize the quality of services within the system and improve throughput to come up with the optimal result. In this paper, we present a model for multiagent system for distributed processing of tasks, where the processes continue to operate desp...

In this report we focus on Jacobi like resolution of the eigen-problem for a real symmetric matrix from a parallel performance point of view: we try to optimize the algorithm working on the communication intensive part of the code. We discuss several parallel implementations and propose an implementation which overlaps the communications by the computations to reach a better eeciency. We show t...

This paper presents our HPF compiler using our modified inspector-executor method for implementing accesses to a distributed array. In our modified method, a compiler runs an inspector during compile time to obtain the information of data dependency among node processors, and it uses that information to optimize communication code included in the executor. This paper presents our idea, performa...

OBJECTIVE Active surveillance (AS) represents a fundamental shift in managing select cancer patients that initiates treatment only upon disease progression to avoid overtreatment. Given uncertain outcomes, patient engagement could support decision-making about AS. Little is known about how to optimize patient engagement for AS decision-making. This scoping review aimed to characterize research ...
