چکیده
The country will mark Canada Health Day on May 12, so CMAJ asked Dr. Michael Gordon to reflect on Canada's health care system and the changes it has seen and will see. The special day, cosponsored by the Canadian Public Health Association, is designed to highlight "the need for better communication between health professionals and the communities they serve." In this article, Gordon reflects on the dangers facing Canada's medicare system and the need to protect it from the inroads threatened by privatization.

The objective of the study was to assess UC Davis Health System's transition to digital radiology. The study involved pre- and post-PACS analyses of workflow and costs, physician satisfaction surveys, and self-recorded radiology interactions by on-call residents. The study revealed significant results. Before the PACS implementation, physicians spent one to three hours searching for films daily...
متن کاملDynamic modeling to determine production strategies in order to maximize net present worth in small and medium size companies
Determining production rate considering costs and revenues in order to maximize profit is one of the applied problems in small and medium size factories. Mostly existing models in production planning consider production system statically and specify production rate, although the factors determining production rate include many different changes in practice. In fact, by increasing the production...

Abstract: This paper proposes a modified energy saving glass (MESG) for energy management of air conditioning system and transmission improvement of in-service and applicable frequency bands. For a typical float glass, the transmission of IR signals is about 98.2% which diminishes to 43% by the deployment of an ESG. Utilization of ESGs although yields energy consumption reduction, but simultane...
متن کاملSaving Energy by Exergetic Analysis of MTP Process Refrigeration System
The exergetic analysis is a tool that has been used successfully in many studies aiming a more rational energy consumption to reduce the cost of processes. With this analysis, it is possible to perform an evaluation of the overall process, locating and quantifying the degradation of exergy. This paper applies exergy approach for analyzing the heat exchanger network design and refrigeration of M...
