The goal of this study is to evaluate the efficiency of don’t-care computation in boolean networks using several algorithms. The algorithms are compared using the following three parameters: (1) the amount of don’t-cares generated for the nodes of the network; (2) the sum total of literal counts in the factored forms of all nodes after the generated don’t-cares have been used to simplify each n...

The Minnesota Resuscitation Consortium (MRC) is a statewide integrated resuscitation program, established in 2011, to provide standardized, evidence-based resuscitation and post-resuscitation care. The objective of this study is to assess the outcomes of a state-wide integrated res...
