This study aims to contribute to the dissemination of the theoretical foundations for cost-effectiveness and cost-utility analysis. It also provides backing for reflections on the implementation of studies leading to real benefits for both the population and health system management. Taking a historical perspective, and drawing on the work of renowned authors, the study provides an extensive li...

sider only the second of the two partial correlations for either theoretical discussion or social action. On the other hand, when the two partial correlations are compared, there are possible outcomes that allow one to reject the null hypothesis of no discrimination in salary based on sex for a given definition of merit. It is inaccurate for McLaughlin to characterize Birnbaum's approach as ath...

Theoretical and experimental investigation of wear during coupling in internal gears coated with various polymeric coating materials was performed in this study. In the theoretical part of the study, Archards’ wear formulation was adapted to internal gears and wear behavior in various conditions was determined. Moreover, a fatigue and wear testing apparatus having similar working principle with...

We present a formulation of the Boolean Satisfiability Problem in spinor language that allows to give a necessary and sufficient condition for unsatisfiability. With this result we outline an algorithm to test for unsatisfiability with possibly interesting theoretical properties.

Nowdays image processing is facing many challengig questions. Often these problems have natural formulation and nd theoretical and numerical solutions in the framework of modern calculus of variations. Some recent models and theorems related to image segmentation are discussed.
