This study aims at developing an Activity Based Costing (ABC) for the Emergency Department (ED) in a Jordanian hospital to determine associated costs and clarifies the financial practices inside ED rooms. For this purpose, simulation model is built for patients at the current ED activities and determine the costs for each room in ED. The total costs (JD), number of served patients, and profits ...

The Italian physicist Ettore Majorana, who disappeared in 1938, is now widely recognized for inventing the notion of a fermionic particle, the Majorana fermion, which has the strange property of being its own antiparticle [1]. What is perhaps less well known is that he also developed a natural and exact representation of a quantum spin [2], which inspired Julian Schwinger to create the bosonic ...

JANUARY 2003 AMERICAN METEOROLOGICAL SOCIETY | S ince its discovery by Madden and Julian (1971, 1972) over two decades ago, the Madden–Julian oscillation (MJO) has continued to be a topic of significant interest due to its complex nature (Madden and Julian 1994) and the wide range of phenomena with which it interacts. The onset and break activity of the Asian–Australian monsoon system is strong...
