Snap Rounding (SR for short) is a method for converting arbitrary-precision arrangements of line segments into a fixed-precision representation. In the previous years two variants of SR were presented: Iterated Snap Rounding (ISR) and Iterated Snap Rounding with Bounded Drift (ISRBD). Their goal was to eliminate an undesirable property that SR possesses. Prior to their appearances, the capabili...

The objective of this research is to determine the impact of EMR and CPOE implementation on physician efficiency. A time series observational study was conducted within a hospital setting at six weeks pre-implementation, six weeks post-implementation and five months post-implementation. All 19 subjects were observed twice with one patient per observation. Physician follow-up rounding times per ...

Given N real numbers whose sum is an integer, we study the problem of finding N integers which match these real numbers as closely as possible, in the sense of Lp norm, while preserving the sum. We describe the structure of solutions for this integer optimization problem and propose an algorithm with complexity O(N logN) for solving it. In contrast to fractional rounding and randomized rounding...

This paper describes computational experiments with an algorithm for control-rounding any series of linked tables such as typically occur in official statistics, for the purpose of confidentiality protection of the individual contributors to the tables. The resulting tables consist only of multiples of the specified rounding base, are additive, and have specified levels of confidentiality prote...

Mitotic rounding during cell division is critical for preventing daughter cells from inheriting an abnormal number of chromosomes, a condition that occurs frequently in cancer cells. Cells must significantly expand their apical area and transition from a polygonal to circular apical shape to achieve robust mitotic rounding in epithelial tissues, which is where most cancers initiate. However, ho...

The correct rounding of the function pow : (x, y) 7→ x is currently based on Ziv’s iterative approximation process. In order to ensure its termination, cases when x falls on a rounding boundary must be filtered out. Such rounding boundaries are floating-point numbers and midpoints between two consecutive floating-point numbers. Detecting rounding boundaries for pow is a difficult problem. Previ...

BACKGROUND Previous studies found that medication errors result from lack of sufficient information during the prescribing step. Therefore, it is proposed that having a pharmacist available when patients are evaluated during the rounding process may reduce the likelihood of preventable adverse drug events (ADEs). The objectives of this study were to evaluate the impact of having a pharmacist pa...

pillow basalts, belonging to late cretaceous yüksekova complex are extensivelly exposed around elazıg in eastern turkey. this unit is a part of southeastern anatolian ophiolite belt and the southern branch of the neotethys. it represents the products of intra- oceanic subduction volcanism and mainly comprises pillow lavas, dykes and associated with sedimentary rocks. pillow lavas and feeder dyk...
