Introduction In Portugal, there is no formal casemix inpatient rehabilitation classification system. The budget for inpatient rehabilitation facilities within the Portuguese NHS is calculated on a per diem basis, with no relation to the diagnosis and the complexity of the patients treated. However, there is an ongoing pilot project where inpatient episodes are classified according to pathology ...

The aim of the paper is to set priority Fast Connection sections ("Rychlá spojení" in Czech, abbreviation "RS") building mentioned above by using STEM method. method used select projects with maximum benefit if budget limited. There has not been a limit for individual RS as limitation financial costs. decisive factor order which should be built on basis evaluation criteria.

The standard intertemporal model of open economy with a dynamic budget constraint predicts that investment and saving should be cointegrated as long as the economy does not violate its budget constraint. Recent empirical studies of the long run investment-saving comovement for the 1947:1–1987:3 period US data, however, report conflicting findings: some studies find that the time series of inves...

This study considers a multi-class network resource in a competitive market where each user endowed with an initial budget will purchase bandwidth from each class of the network resource to maximise its utility function. The authors use revenue as the utility function for the service provider, and enhance Kelly’s utility function by including delay as the quality of service (QoS) parameter for ...

Data privacy issues frequently and increasingly arise for data sharing and data analysis tasks. In this paper, we study the problem of online query answering under the rigorous differential privacy model. The existing interactive mechanisms for differential privacy can only support a limited number of queries before the accumulated cost of privacy reaches a certain bound. This limitation has gr...

BACKGROUND The article explores the implications of personal budgets within English social care services, which position the individual as market actor. Rooting the research in the broader personalization agenda, the study looks at the limitations of the market in relation to individual purchase of private goods (e.g. home care), in the pooling of funds to purchase group services and in the pro...

Light scattering is the main limitation for optical imaging. However, light can be focused through or inside turbid media by spatially shaping incident wavefront. Wavefront ultimately limited available photon budget. We developed a new ‘dual reference’ wavefront algorithm that optimally uses light. Our method allows multi-target shaping, making it suitable transmission matrix measurements trans...
