This paper presents the design of a procedural framework for an electronic market mediation service based on the adjusted-winner procedure for fair division. The main benefit of applying this procedure is that mutually beneficial agreements can be reached with minimal effort by the

This paper builds on the previous paper by the author, where a relationship between Zhedanov’s algebra AW (3) and the double affine Hecke algebra (DAHA) corresponding to the Askey–Wilson polynomials was established. It is shown here that the spherical subalgebra of this DAHA is isomorphic to AW (3) with an additional relation that the Casimir operator equals an explicit constant. A similar resu...

CONTEXT Guidelines on the use of prophylaxis in venous thromboembolism (VTE) are poorly implemented in clinical practice. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the extent to which the American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP) 2001 guidelines on VTE prophylaxis are adhered to in clinical practice by determining whether patients admitted to a medical center with an objective diagnosis of VTE had received ade...

While grading the strength of recommendations and the quality of underlying evidence enhances the usefulness of clinical guidelines, the profusion of guideline grading systems undermines the value of the grading exercise. An American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP) task force formulated the criteria for a grading system to be utilized in all ACCP guidelines that included simplicity and trans...

The modern approach to cervical cancer prevention, characterized by use of cytology and multiple visits for diagnosis and treatment, has frequently proven challenging and unworkable in low-resource settings. Because of this, the Alliance for Cervical Cancer Prevention (ACCP) has made it a priority to investigate and assess alternative approaches, particularly the use of visual screening methods...

The American College of Clinical Pharmacy (ACCP) Ambulatory Care Practice Research Network (PRN) considers the role of clinical pharmacists to be fundamental to the success of the Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) model. Within the PCMH, pharmacists can improve the health of populations by participating in activities that optimize medication management. Multiple published articles support cl...
