To determine the relation between basic clinical characteristics and resource utilisation in paediatric intensive care, an open prospective study was performed. Resource utilisation was expressed using the therapeutic intervention score system (TISS) and length of stay (LOS), from which total resource utilisation per admission (TISSTOT) and average daily resource utilisation (TISSMEAN = TISSTOT...

The thesis examines the factors that impact on access and utilisation of health services in Ghana. The utilisation behaviour of residents of a typical urban and a typical rural district are used as representing the entire Ghanaian experience. Literature has demonstrated the dichotomy in utilisation between rural and urban areas, with urban residents having advantage over rural. It also shows th...

This work explores the potential of sharing different arithmetic hardware operators tightly coupled to the integer pipeline of the open-source LEON3 processor. The idea is to map these modules to the same silicon area saving power consumption and area utilisation. The same strategy can be used to extend the architecture of processors optimized for applications with specific energy constraints. ...

Espoo has set a goal to abandon the use of coal in its district heating system by year 2025. The local operator is producing major share Espoo's heat demand with combined and power units, but large that thermal capacity will be closed plan replace down renewable fuels, pumps waste utilisation. this paper simulate impacts these emission reductive acts on production costs CO 2 emissions system. p...

Extensive research has been conducted in the existing literature to examine impact of health outcomes on macroeconomic indicators. The micro-level investigation public healthcare services, particularly utilisation, is unexplored Pakistan. This study aims investigate factors that influence utilisation care services was determined this by incorporating socioeconomic, demographic, and regional cov...

The power of information technology to support strategic management at the executive level may currently be underutilised. A recently developed strategic management system incorporating extensive domain knowledge can be integrated with advanced data utilisation technology to form a comprehensive strategic management architecture. Specifically, we propose an information architecture that exploit...

A programmable vector processor and its implementation on a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) board are presented. This processor is composed of a vector core and a tightly coupled five-stage pipelined RISC scalar unit. It supports the IEEE 754 single-precision floating-point standard and also the efficient implementation of some sparse matrix operations. The processor runs at 70 MHz on the ...

BACKGROUND A see on cardiovascular diseases and bladder cancer. The changes to the patterns of rosiglitazone and pioglitazone utilisation in Australia following the timing of these various health authority warnings such as the Australian Therapeutic Good Administration (TGA), European Medicines Agency (EMA) press releases or U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is unknown. This study investi...

To meet the well-known energy transition challenge, a rapid shift from fossil fuels to broader exploitation of renewable sources is needed; solar represents most abundant and readily available resource amongst sources. This vision paper aims at shedding light on current knowledge emerging pathways for utilisation. Specifically, after general introduction brief overview knowledge, open issues ar...

Industrial ecology (IE) promotes the development of industrial systems based on recycling of matter and cascading of energy through cooperation. In this paper, the local/regional industrial ecosystem approach is reflected in two examples from Finland. The local forest industry system is based on renewable resources, waste materials and energy utilisation between forestry companies, a saw-mill, ...
