BACKGROUND Clinical decision support systems (CDSS) can modify clinician behaviour, yet the factors influencing their effect remain poorly understood. This study assesses the feasibility and acceptability of a CDSS supporting diagnostic and treatment decisions for patients with suspected stable angina. METHODS Intervention The Optimising Management of Angina (OMA) programme includes a CDSS gu...

The Ohio Manufacturers’ Association Energy Group (OMAEG) is pleased to provide comments on the proposal. The OMA represents over 1,400 manufacturing businesses in the state of Ohio on matters of public policy, including energy policy. The OMAEG is a non-profit entity created by the OMA for the purpose of educating and providing information to energy consumers, regulatory boards and suppliers of...

It is known that the orthogonal multiple access (OMA) guarantees for homogeneous networks, where all users have almost the same received power, a higher degree of fairness (in rate) than that provided by successive interference cancellation (SIC). The situation changes in heterogeneous networks, where the received powers are very disparate, and SIC becomes superior to OMA. In this paper, we pro...

INTRODUCTION 1993 saw the inaugural International Symposium on Logistics (ISL). 1993 also saw the establishment of the European Operations Management Association (EurOMA) the European wide extension of the then United Kingdom Operations Management Association (OMA). OMA had already began the path to creating the inaugural EurOMA conference but, seeing the need for a distinct yet related activit...

UNLABELLED The efficacy of olfactory mucosa autograft (OMA) for chronic spinal cord injury has been reported. New activity in response to voluntary effort has been documented by electromyography (EMG), but the emergence of motor evoked potential (MEP) reflecting electrophysiological conductivity in the central nervous system, including the corticospinal pathway after OMA has not been clarified....

The Object Management Architecture (OMA) has been recognized as a de facto standard in the development of object services in distributed computing environment. In a distributed system, the provision for failure-recovery is always a vital design issue. However, the fault-tolerant service has not been extensively considered in the current OMA framework, despite the fact that a increasing number o...

This work introduces downlink non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) into short-packet communications. NOMA has great potential to improve fairness and spectral efficiency with respect to orthogonal multiple access (OMA) for lowlatency downlink transmission, thus making it attractive for the emerging Internet of Things. We consider a two-user downlink NOMA system with finite blocklength constrai...

We claim that the Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) Order of Rights Object Evaluation algorithm causes the loss of execution permissions under certain circumstances. By introducing an algebraic characterization as well as an ordering on licenses, we redesign this algorithm to minimize possible errors, in a way suitable for the limited computational powers of mobile devices. Our algorithm does not sugg...

The lack of control inherent to digital content has been put on the spotlight by copyright infringement coupled with massive content distribution online (e.g., Peer-to-Peer). Digital Rights Management seems to be the solution to counter this problem advocating the use of cryptography and other related security mechanisms to protect digital content and to associate rights with it which determine...
