The classes Delay-FPT and Total-FPT recently have been introduced into parameterized complexity in order to capture the notion of efficiently solvable parameterized enumeration problems. In this paper we focus on ordered enumeration and will show how to obtain Delay-FPT and Total-FPT enumeration algorithms for several important problems. We propose a generic algorithmic strategy, combining well...

BACKGROUND Tuberculosis (TB) is a major public health problem in the Horn of Africa with Ethiopia being the most affected where TB cases increase at the rate of 2.6% each year. One of the main contributing factors for this rise is increasing transmission due to large number of untreated patients, serving as reservoirs of the infection within the communities. Reduction of the time between onset ...

OBJECTIVES Delayed discharges are a significant problem for the National Health Service. The objectives of this study were to determine the prevalence and impact of delayed discharge at a single specialist vascular surgery ward. DESIGN A cross-sectional observational study. SETTING A single specialist vascular unit in the UK during a 4-month study period (01/09/2014-31/12/2014). PARTICIPA...

time-delay identification is one of the most important parameters in designing controllers. in the cases where the number of inputs and outputs in a system are more than one, this identification is of great concern. in this paper, a novel autocorrelation-based scheme for the state variable time-delay identification for multi-input multi-output (mimo) system has been presented. this method is ba...

emergency departments (eds) are the most challenging ward with respect to patient delay. the goal of this study is to present strategies that have proven to reduce delay and overcrowding in eds. in this review article, initial electronic database search resulted in a total of 1006 articles. thirty articles were included after reviewing full texts. inclusion criteria were assessments of real pat...

background treatment of patients with acute myocardial infarction (ami) is time related, so delay in treatment could affect prognosis. recognizing pre-hospital or in-hospital delays in initiating treatment and reducing these factors is very efficacious in treatment of these patients. results 35.7% patients arrived during one hour of symptom onset, and 7.9% arrived after 24 hours. patients havin...

in this paper, behavior of teleoperation systems with modeling error and delay time error in smith predictor is discussed. in teleoperation systems, modeling error is inevitable. this paper discusses stability of teleoperation systems with modeling error. first, error of delay time in teleoperation systems by using of internet as communication channel is considered and the performance of smith ...

BACKGROUND In pulmonary thromboembolism (PE), delay to diagnosis is very common. In this study, we examined the role of patients and the socio-demographic characteristics in delayed diagnosis of PE. PATIENTS AND METHODS We evaluated 156 PE patients for the dates of symptom onset, the dates of first visit to a health institution and diagnosis, signs and symptoms, and the socio-demographic char...

WLAN has been widely deployed over public and private areas and has become one of popular access technologies for mobile Internet services in recent several years. Handoff between WLAN access points (APs) that introduce packet loss and delay is one of the critical issues for mobile Internet applications, especially for real-time communications. Previous studies indicated that channel scanning t...
