Geospatial data-sets are becoming commonplace in many application domains, especially in the area of decision-making. Current state-of-the-art in geospatial systems either lack the ease-of-use and efficiency or sophisticated querying and analysis features needed by these applications. To address these shortcomings, we have been working on a generic and scalable geospatial decision making system...

We describe similarity metrics, which are a generalisa-tion of similarity measures having any partial order as their result type. We then present the main result of this paper by describing generalised prioritisation, a new way of combining similarity metrics. Generalised priori-tisation uses an indiierence relation on the degrees of similarity. We show that the use of the indiierence relation ...

The aim of this paper is to prove a common fixed point theorem for nonexpansive type single valued mappings which include both continuous and discontinuous mappings by relaxing the condition of continuity by weak reciprocally continuous mapping. Our result is generalize and extends the corresponding result of Jhade et al. [P.K. Jhade, A.S. Saluja and R. Kushwah, Coincidence and fixed points of ...

Hospitals and health systems, whether general acute care hospitals or specialty-driven hospitals, are attempting to prosper in a unique time. This year, hospitals throughout the country will see increased reimbursement for hospital inpatient services, rather than decreased reimbursement. Many hospitals are examining a multitude of options for debt financing and a number of the nation's hospital...
