ED overcrowding is a nationally recognized problem negatively impacting patient care and safety. At 1 academic medical center, there was neither a method to measure ED overcrowding nor any hospital-wide response to appropriately allocate resources to address the needs of the staff and patients. The Condition Yellow Project was undertaken to develop processes that would address ED overcrowding.

Scheinerman and Wilf [SW94] assert that “an important open problem in the study of graph embeddings is to determine the rectilinear crossing number of the complete graph Kn.” A rectilinear drawing of Kn is an arrangement of n vertices in the plane, every pair of which is connected by an edge that is a line segment. We assume that no three vertices are collinear, and that no three edges intersec...

A t-box representation of a graph encodes each vertex as a box in t-space determined by the (integer) coordinates of its lower and upper corner, such that vertices are adjacent if and only if the corresponding boxes intersect. The boxicity of a graph G is the minimum t for which this can be done; equivalently, it is the minimum t such that G can be expressed as the intersection graph of interva...

It is hard to believe that factor endowments theory could offer an adequate explanation of international trade patterns. While the theory adequately predicts Saudi Arabian oil exports, it hardly seems appropriate for explaining the revolutionary impact of new technologies on world trade. Yet to take this position is to misunderstand the thrust of recent empirical research in international trade...

Given a partially ordered set P = (X; P), a function F which assigns to each x 2 X a set F (x) so that x y in P if and only if F (x) F (y) is called an inclusion representation. Every poset has such a representation, so it is natural to consider restrictions on the nature of the images of the function F. In this paper, we consider inclusion representations assigning to each x 2 X a sphere in R ...

Posner`s (2010) analysis offers many exciting insights into the principal-agent problem, particularly with respect to the secret service. I argue that it would be useful to consider a broader model of human behaviour, which includes awards as extrinsic incentives beyond pay, as well as intrinsic motivation. A more comparative stance that goes beyond the United States would be a useful check of ...
