to monitor the patient behavior, data are collected from patient’s body by a medical monitoring device so as to calculate the output using embedded software. incorrect calculations may endanger the patient’s life if the software fails to meet the patient’s requirements. accordingly, the veracity of the software behavior is a matter of concern in the medicine; moreover, the data collected from t...

A general notion of completely monotone functionals on an ordered Banach algebra B into a proper H*-algebra A with an integral representation for such functionals is given. As an application of this result we have obtained a characterization for the generalized completely continuous monotone functions on weighted foundation semigroups. A generalized version of Bochner’s theorem on foundation se...

This article investigates the value of perfect monitoring information for optimal replacement of deteriorating systems in the Proportional Hazards Model (PHM). A continuous-time Markov chain describes the condition of the system. Although the form of an optimal replacement policy for system under periodic monitoring in the PHM was developed previously, an approximation of the Markov process as ...

Noninvasive intermittent blood pressure monitoring was first developed 30 years ago.' It is now evolving from its former role as a somewhat esoteric research tool to becoming a clinically useful procedure for the evaluation ofhypertensive patients. In this review we outline its historical development, compare noninvasive 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring with the other available meth...
