Mobile networks are under more pressure than ever before because of the increasing number of smartphone users and the number of people relying on mobile data networks. With larger numbers of users, the issue of service quality has become more important for network operators. Identifying faults in mobile networks that reduce the quality of service must be found within minutes so that problems ca...

Low birthweight Low birthweight (less than 2,500 grams) has been identified as an important factor impacting on child survival and can affect perinatal mortality, infant mortality, and development of chronic diseases in later life. Preterm birth (<37 weeks) or restricted foetal growth can result in a low birthweight birth. Accordingly, a key performance indicator measuring the incidence of low ...

In this contribution, a hardware platform for cooperative sensing networks is presented with the use of Roy ́s Largest Root Test, also known as a blindly combined energy detection scheme, such that the system is configured with three ETTUS USRPs N210 and one computer for processing. The hardware experiments were validated with simulations, and the results show that the cooperative scheme outperf...

introduction: balanced scorecard (bsc) is regarded as one of the successful tools in performance measurement. however, it neither absolutely nor comparatively provides the weight of each perspective and indicators related to each perspective. in this study, we applied a fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (fahp) to weight the perspectives and bsc indicators in hospital. methods: this applied, de...

Software-as-a-Service providers have been growing fast while the contemporary research literature has neglected analysis of their business-critical marketing and sales processes. In this paper we collect the key factors characterizing how to market and sell SaaS to business customers into an eight dimensional model. We also use an explorative multi-case study to observe six SaaS providers and v...

As with any measure of care quality, ICU readmissions have distinct limitations. The aim of this paper is to highlight the conceptual problems inherent in examining ICU readmissions and using them as a key performance indicator. This paper serves to inform clinicians, researchers and policy-makers of issues to consider when using ICU readmission rates as a measure of care quality, and proposes ...

Reliability is a fundamental factor in the operation of bus transportation systems for the reason that it signifies a straight indicator of the quality of service and operator’s costs. Todays, the application of GPS technology in bus systems provides big data availability, though it brings the difficulties of data preprocessing in a methodical approach. In this study, the principal component an...
