Global evaluation of men – check-up and follow-up

Women, after childhood are rapidly attended by Gynecologists, even during puberty. They become their physicians and responsible for their follow-up. On the other hand, men routinely remain for a long period of time unattended until the 5th decade of life, when, in the best of scenarios, they visit a lot of professionals of several specialties. We could draw a long discussion about the need of m...

Working over 5,000 m: medical check-up.

Any work activity performed at elevations over 3,000 m above sea level is considered as work at high altitude. The changing environmental conditions result in an adaptation of the human organism, mainly due to a reduced partial pressure of oxygen in the air and a proportional decrease in barometric pressure. We carried out a systematic review of the scientific literature in this field so as to ...

Checking-Up on Branch-and-Check

Branch-and-Check, introduced ten years ago, is a generalization of logic-based Benders decomposition. The key extension is to solve the Benders sub-problems at each feasible solution of the master problem rather than only at an optimal solution. We perform the first systematic empirical comparison of logic-based Benders decomposition and branchand-check. On four problem types the results indica...
