There are many opportunities to make the Healthcare system more sustainable. We want to reduce the money we send to utility companies and have more health care dollars available for healthcare. The LEED process [Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design] provides additional opportunities. Building LEED Silver hospitals is not only in keeping with some government jurisdictional guidelines [A...

Power and energy efficiency are major concerns in future supercomputing systems. We expect that applications will be constrained to operate under a power budget and achieving the expected levels of performance will be challenging. Understanding how power is consumed by an application throughout its different phases will be necessary to shift power to those resources on the critical path. In thi...

In this paper, we theoretically analyze and demonstrate that spectral efficiency of a conventional direct detection based optical OFDM system (DDO-OFDM) can be improved significantly using frequency interleaving of adjacent DDO-OFDM channels where OFDM signal band of one channel occupies the spectral gap of other channel and vice versa. We show that, at optimum operating condition, the proposed...

The collection of research works in this Special Issue focuses on Ultra-Low-Power (ULP) Integrated Circuits (ICs) operating under a tight budget power as criterion to build electronic devices relying less and batteries [...]

The work to develop a model curriculum and guidelines for undergraduate degree programs in Information Systems has evolved over a number of years. The current version of this effort is called the Information Systems 2002 (IS 2002) model curriculum. Many Business schools have used these guidelines as a basis for improving their IS curriculum. However, we have found, in a previous study, that, IS...

BACKGROUND We wanted to evaluate the most recent, complete data related to the specific effects of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 relative to the overall financial health of teaching hospitals. We also define cost report variables and calculations necessary for continued impact monitoring. METHODS We undertook a descriptive analysis of hospital cost report variables for 1996, 1998, and 1999,...

Large-scale chip multiprocessors will likely be heterogeneous. It has been suggested by several groups that it may be worthwhile to implement some cores that are specially tuned to execute common code patterns. One such common application that will execute on all future processors is of course the operating system. Many future workloads will spend a large fraction of their execution time within...

Beginning in the late 1990’s, Northern States Power (Electric) began exploring formal tools for improving the allocation of its annual operating budget of over $250 million. The goal was to establish a fair, efficient, and effective process for allocating funds across territories and departmental functions. After trying several approaches, NSP created a resource allocation system based on multi...
