An Ounce of Prevention: Tobacco Control Saves Lives, Saves Money

Test compression saves bits, cycles, and money

&AS DESIGN SIZES have grown larger and semiconductor manufacturing processes have scaled down to extremely small feature sizes, the number of test vectors needed to thoroughly test a chip has exploded. To alleviate this potentially road-blocking issue to further technology scaling, test data compression became an active research topic in the late 1990s, and has now become a standard offering wi...

Routine biochemical screening on admission saves neither money nor time: a randomised trial

Background Evidence justifying the use of routine laboratory screening on admission is weak. The principle, however, has been widely used for decades, the arguments being convenience, a more rapid and thorough screening, and thus reduced admission time. This study investigated the differences in cost of tests and admission time if doctors at admission prescribed single biochemical tests rather ...

A Thread in Time Saves Tabling Time

The use of tabling in logic programming has been recognized as a powerful evaluation technique. Currently available tabling systems are mostly based on variant checks and hence are limited in their ability to recognize reusable subcomputations. Tabling systems based on call subsumption can yield superior performance by recognizing a larger set of reusable computations. However, a straightforwar...

Saving time saves lives.

C onsider the following 3 patient stories: Reluctantly, A.B. heaved his bulk out of the air-conditioned car and into the hot, bright afternoon sun. The walk across the steaming macadam parking lot left him breathless, and his hand shook as he buried the cigarette butt into the sand on top of the shining brass receptacle guarding the entrance to the casino. His head pounded with the exertion, an...
