Although fragmentation in the provision of services is considered an obstacle to effective health care, there is scant evidence on the impact of interventions to improve care coordination between primary care and secondary ...

We present a novel network-based continuous-time formulation for process scheduling that addresses multiple limitations of existing approaches. Specifically, it handles non-simultaneous transfers of input/output materials ...

We give a construction of a real number that is normal to all integer bases and continued fraction normal. The computation of the firstn digits of its continued fraction expansion performs in the order ofn^4 mathematical ...

In the first part of this series of paperswe presented a newnetwork-based continuous-time representation for the short-term scheduling of batch processes, which overcomes numerous shortcomings of existing approaches. In ...

An algorithm for deriving a continued fraction that corresponds to two series expansions simultaneously, when there are zero coefficients in one or both series, is given. It is based on using the Q-D algorithm to derive ...

This article has as its theme the representation of teachers on two proposals for continuing education in Brazil and Portugal: the Letter and Life Program and the National Portuguese Teaching Program, in which it deals ...

We describe the design of a mobile collaborative tool that helps teams managing critical computing infrastructures in organizations, a task that is usually designated Business Continuity Management. The design process ...

Purpose: The article analyses the impact of continuous improvement (system and teams) on business sustainability dimensions (social, environmental, operational, and financial) as a competitive strategy to create value for ...
