This paper presents an approach to handle with elements from GF(2), in hardware implementation with minimum costs of area. The method is described by exemplifying with minimum costs of area. The method is described by exemplifying the practical implementation of the BCH(n,k,t) scheme over GF(2), where n is large (n > 6), on reconfigurable FPGA hardware with minimum costs of area. There are many...

Introduction: Nowadays, organizations working in dynamic and competitive environments have to change their processes from both the inside and outside of the organization. One of the most effective strategies for monitoring and controlling these changes is re-engineering. This study aimed to refine the collection and classification process of data through re-engineering. <...

BACKGROUND In 1996, an integrated plan of care was implemented to improve quality of care for patients undergoing elective carotid endarterectomy. Goals were to reduce length of stay, costs, number of preoperative and intensive care unit admissions, and use of diagnostic procedures yet maintain good outcomes. OBJECTIVES To determine whether use of the integrated plan of care met the goals. ...

conclusions this study showed that preventive measures, including pe implementation, reduce ifi incidence in patients with cin, admitted in a hospital in a developing country. this suggests that those strategies may overcome their costs on the long-term, by saving costs associated with fungal infections. patients and methods we conducted a quasi-experimental study to evaluate an institutional i...
