A multithreaded convolution implementation based on block algorithms is considered. Convolution essentially the basis of many methods that solve problem determining degree similarity or independence two processes, in other words, when it necessary to determine correlation. The algorithm itself executed with a significant delay, because for its execution accumulate entire signal and then process...

Reports of how different countries are responding to the need to develop more integrated health and social care services for older adults can provide useful lessons for other health systems. However an understanding of how the wider structural, political, economic and cultural context affects implementation of these models of care is essential when considering the potential for models to be sca...

There are great expectations regarding the potential contribution of integrated care interventions to improved outcomes, but so far the evidence is mixed. In this dissertation, we focussed on why, when and how some integrated care interventions contribute to improved outcomes, while others do not. To this purpose, we developed the COMIC Model for studying the Context, Outcomes and Mechanisms of...

Implicit integrators are very useful in e ciently solving sti systems of ODEs arising from atmospheric chemistry kinetics, provided that they are modi ed to take full advantage of the structure of the problem. A systematic way of treating sparsity for reducing the linear algebra cost is presented. 3 E cient implementation of fully implicit methods 4
