The regional evaluation of monitoring stations for water resources can be of great importance due to its role in finding appropriate locations for stations, the maximum gathering of useful information and preventing the accumulation of unnecessary information and ultimately reducing the cost of data collection. Based on the theory of discrete entropy, this study analyzes the density of rain gag...

BACKGROUND For patients treated with citalopram, it was recently shown that serum concentrations above 50 ng/mL on day 7 of treatment are associated with an improved therapeutic outcome. The aim of this post hoc analysis was to calculate a potential cost-effectiveness of therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) considering costs for hospitalization, medication, and drug analysis. METHODS The study i...

Electronic fetal monitoring (EFM) systems integrate many previously separate clinical activities related to fetal monitoring. Promoting the use of ubiquitous fetal monitoring services with real time status assessments requires a robust information platform equipped with an automatic diagnosis engine. This paper presents the design and development of a mobile multi-agent platform-based open info...

in this paper, first the available single charting methods, which have been proposed to detect simultaneous shifts in a single process mean and variance, are reviewed. then, by designing proper simulation studies these methods are evaluated in terms of in-control and out-ofcontrol average run length criteria (arl). the results of these simulation experiments show that the ewma and ewms methods ...
