Analysis of Pico cells with Randomly Walking Users
In this paper, we develop a framework to analyze pico cells with randomly walking users. We model the user movements by a random walk with exponential wandering times. We partition each pico cell into disjoint regions based on the transmission rates allocated and model each rate region as an equivalent step in the random walk model. We further use queuing theoretic tools to obtain explicit expr...

US Federal sentencing guidelines punish possession of crack cocaine very differently from powder cocaine, based partially upon the assumption that crack users engage more frequently in criminal behavior to pay for their habit.

متن کاملCase management and self-management support for frequent users with chronic disease in primary care: a pragmatic randomized controlled trial
BACKGROUND Chronic diseases represent a major challenge for health care and social services. A number of people with chronic diseases require more services due to characteristics that increase their vulnerability. Given the burden of increasingly vulnerable patients on primary care, a pragmatic intervention in four Family Medicine Groups (primary care practices in Quebec, Canada) has been propo...
متن کاملKnowledge about COPD among users of primary health care services
BACKGROUND Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is often underdiagnosed, which might be attributable to a lack of knowledge about the disease among the general population. The objective of this study was to evaluate COPD-related knowledge among primary care users in an urban area in Brazil. METHODS This study was carried out at primary care clinics (PCCs), including 12 general PCCs an...
