In this paper, we consider timeliness and energy optimization in battery-powered, dynamic embedded real-time systems, which must remain functional during an operation/mission with a bounded energy budget. We consider application activities that are subject to time/utility function time constraints, statistical assurance requirements on timeliness behavior, and an energy budget, which cannot be ...

Multiple sociodemographic factors affect cancer care patterns, including age, sex, race or ethnicity, insurance status, household income, level of education, and usual source of health care1–9. Timeliness of care (that is, rapid initiation of treatment after definitive diagnosis) is a key component of high-quality cancer treatment. For many types of cancer, timely treatment after diagnosis can ...

To assess the value of ICD-9 coded chief complaints for early detection of epidemics, we measured sensitivity, positive predictive value, and timeliness of Influenza detection using a respiratory set (RS) of ICD-9 codes and an Influenza set (IS). We also measured inherent timeliness of these data using the cross-correlation function. We found that, for a one-year period, the detectors had sensi...

This position paper makes the case for incorporating time/utility functions (TUFs) and the paradigm of utility accrual real-time scheduling in the planned, updated version of the UML Profile for Schedulability, Performance, and Time. The case is made by arguing that the key underpinning of the current state-of-the real-time practice — the priority artifact — and that of the current state-of-the...

BACKGROUND This study aims to evaluate the length of time elapsed between reports of the same incidents related to avian flu and H1N1 outbreaks published by the WHO and ProMED-mail, the two major global health surveillance systems, before and after the amendment of the International Health Regulations in 2005 (IHR 2005) and to explore the association between country transparency and this timeli...

As an important part of market information, accounting information reveals the timeliness, which plays an extremely important role to the market supervisors and investors. This research took 852 annual financial reports, published by Chinese Growth Enterprise Market(GEM) listing corporations from 2012-2014, as the samples to do empirical research on the board structure’s influences on the accou...
