This paper examines the impact of a change of focus by a firm, as signified by stock market reclassification. It distinguishes between sector reclassifications that are motivated by information specific to a particular firm, and those that result from sector redefinitions and reorganisations. The direction of the price effects following reclassification depends significantly upon this distincti...

This paper deals with the analysis of the costs, applied, for example, when treating specific diseases - an important aid in prioritizing the process of resource allocation. In our review, the specific disease is dementia caused by Alzheimer's disease. This paper aims to provide more information on the partial costs per patient that are calculated according to the aggregated data from publicly ...

BACKGROUND In India, the process of decentralization of health services started taking shape in the mid-1990s. Systemic reforms envisaged delegation of administrative and financial responsibilities at district level for management of health-care institutions in 23 states of India in 1999. Subsequently, some of these reforms became part of the National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) launched in 200...

This paper addresses the utility-based radio resource allocation problem in DS-CDMA systems carrying multimedia traffic. The proposed scheme, aiming at achieving optimal resource allocation, considers the joint power and data rate allocation. To avoid high computational complexity of nonlinear optimization, we reformulate the radio resource allocation problem as a market model, where resource i...

Human error is a significant and ever-growing problem in the healthcare sector. In this study, resource allocation problem is considered along with human errors to optimize utilization of resources in an emergency department. The algorithm is composed of simulation, artificial neural network (ANN), design of experiment (DOE) and fuzzy data envelopment analysis (FDEA). It is a multi-response opt...

In this paper, we model the optimisation of the resource allocation in cloud computing as a constraint satisfaction problem considering three types of resources (CPU, RAM and bandwidth) and design a Choco-Based algorithm (CB) for VM resource allocation in virtualised cloud data centres. We also propose an Improved First-Fit Decreasing Algorithm (IFFD) and an Improved Best-Fit Decreasing Algorit...

In this paper, we study the connection between Radio Resource Management and economic parameters, whose application in multimedia communication system is a challenging task. In fact, a real network provider has to consider other parameters, besides the common goals of Radio Resource Management like throughput maximisation or meeting constraints connected with the Quality of Service. In particul...
