All nurses must ensure deteriorating patients are identified early, and a timely and effective response is implemented. This article discusses a new early warning system and training programme, which are intended to prevent avoidable cardiac arrests.

We prove global existence for a nonlinear Smoluchowski equation (a nonlinear Fokker-Planck equation) coupled with Navier-Stokes equations in 2d. The proof uses a deteriorating regularity estimate in the spirit of [5] (see also [1])

In this paper the combinations of maximum entropy method and Bayesian inference for reliability assessment of deteriorating system is proposed. Due to various uncertainties, less data and incomplete information, system parameters usually cannot be determined precisely. These uncertainty parameters can be modeled by fuzzy sets theory and the Bayesian inference which have been proved to be useful...

In this paper we develop and analyse an inventory model for deteriorating items with mixture of Weibull rate of decay and demand as function of both selling price and time without shortages. Using the differential equations, the instantaneous state of inventory at time„t‟, the amount of deterioration etc. are derived. With suitable cost considerations the total cost function and profit rate fun...

Patient safety within hospitals is a growing concern in the medical community, since adverse events in hospitals often lead to prolonged stays due to complications, or patient death. Unfortunately, registered nurses fail to recognize the subtle changes and trends of deteriorating patients, possibly due to lack of repetitive and interactive continuing education opportunities for nursing surveill...

The conditional phrase translation probabilities constitute the principal components of phrase-based machine translation systems. These probabilities are estimated using a heuristic method that does not seem to optimize any reasonable objective function of the word-aligned, parallel training corpus. Earlier efforts on devising a better understood estimator either do not scale to reasonably size...

In this study a deterministic inventory model for deteriorating items with stock dependent demand is developed. In this model the shortages are allowed and partially backlogged and the effect of inflation rate and delay in payments are discussed. This paper establishes an inventory model for the deteriorating items and stock dependent demand rate under inflation when the supplier offers a permi...

Introduction Designing an ITS to support teaching and learning in emergency medicine requires special consideration of the high-pressure nature of the live clinical environment. Here we present the design of an online version of a simulation-based activity for medical education called the Deteriorating Patient Activity (DPA) [1]. The objective of the DPA is to help medical students learn how to...
