This work combines and extends previous work on breast cancer screening models by explicitly incorporating, for the time, the dynamics of health care states, program outreach, and the screening volume-quality relationship in a service system model to examine the effect of public health policy and service capacity decisions on public health outcomes. We consider the impact of increasing standard...

The IEEE 802.15.4 standard allows devices to access the medium not only in contention mode but also in a contention-free way, in order to support Quality of Service. In contention-free mode, devices access the medium according to the Guaranteed Time Slot (GTS) mechanism, which is vulnerable to the selective jamming attack. This is a particularly insidious form of Denial of Service (DoS) that al...

This paper focuses on the provision of a nonrepudiation service for CORBA. The current OMG specification of a CORBA non-repudiation service forces the programmer to augment the application with calls to functions for generating or validating evidence. Furthermore, the application itself has to manage the exchange of this evidence between parties and its storage. The paper describes our design f...

The IEEE 802.15.4 standard allows devices to access the medium not only in contention mode but also in a contention-free way, in order to support quality of service (QoS). In contention-free mode, devices access the medium according to the guaranteed time slot (GTS) mechanism, which is vulnerable to the selective jamming attack. This is a particularly insidious form of denial of service that al...

The application of sharia principles in business activities and services adds to standard compliance some them are trapped the legalistic formality aspect rather than improving ethics.

The directive of the Postal Reorganization Act is to maintain compensation similar to that awarded for comparable levels of work in the private sector. This paper examines a wide array of recent evidence to assess the comparability of postal and private sector compensation. The evidence points to a substantial postal premium. Cross-sectional analysis controlling for worker characteristics indic...

At the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the U.S. representation of the ohm is based on the quantum Hall effect, and it is maintained and disseminated at various resistance levels by working reference groups of standards. This document describes the measurement systems and procedures used to calibrate standard resistors and current shunts of nominal decade values in the res...
