Wireless transmission of a patient’s electrocardiogram (ECG) signals can be used to reduce cardiac healthcare cost. However, wireless transmissions have high error rates due to radio interference. The ECG signal, where every second of data could mean abnormal patterns, cannot tolerate such losses. Due to this healthcare crisis, the ability for a device to remotely monitor a patient’s medication...

A new procedure for learning cost-sensitive SVM(CS-SVM) classifiers is proposed. The SVM hinge loss is extended to the cost sensitive setting, and the CS-SVM is derived as the minimizer of the associated risk. The extension of the hinge loss draws on recent connections between risk minimization and probability elicitation. These connections are generalized to cost-sensitive classification, in a...

BACKGROUND In unstable coronary artery disease short term treatment with low molecular weight heparin in addition to aspirin has been shown to be effective. OBJECTIVE To assess the cost effectiveness of extended treatment with dalteparin in patients managed with a non-invasive treatment strategy. DESIGN Prospective, randomised, multicentre study. SETTING 58 centres in Sweden, Denmark, and...

This article shows an extended work of [Kleinberg and Oren 2014]. It gives more properties of the graph time-inconsistency model raised in [Kleinberg and Oren 2014] by solving three open problems proposed in [Kleinberg and Oren 2014]. Generally speaking, it gives a tight upper bound for the ratio of actual cost due to time-inconsistency to minimum theoretic cost, and shows the hardness of motiv...

Extended common-image-point (CIP) gathers can be constructed using wave-equation migration by preserving into the output image the non-zero spaceand timelags of the cross-correlation between the source and receiver wavefields. Correct wavefield reconstruction leads to focused events in the extended CIPs, while incorrect reconstruction leads to de-focused events that can be used for velocity mod...

This paper estimates the incremental cost-effectiveness of providing antenatal anti-D prophylaxis in varying dose sizes to either primigravidae or all Rh D negative women. It presents a model for calculating the net cost per 1000 'at risk' women based on the costs of anti-D prophylaxis and the future NHS costs avoided. Incremental cost-effectiveness is measured in terms of the net cost per Rh D...

Background: In unstable coronary artery disease short term treatment with low molecular weight heparin in addition to aspirin has been shown to be effective. Objective: To assess the cost effectiveness of extended treatment with dalteparin in patients managed with a non-invasive treatment strategy. Design: Prospective, randomised, multicentre study. Setting: 58 centres in Sweden, Denmark, and N...

The minimum cost homomorphism problem has arisen as a natural and useful optimization problem in the study of graph (and digraph) coloring and homomorphisms: it unifies a number of other well studied optimization problems. It was shown by Gutin, Rafiey, and Yeo that the minimum cost problem for homomorphisms to a digraph H that admits a so-called extended MinMax ordering is polynomial time solv...
