–2008 for improving the care of older people across the acute–aged care continuum, and is informed by earlier initiatives within the Aged Care Innovative Pool scheme. 3 T Given the significant investment in the program and the undeniable importance of the program’s objectives, it is imperative that future decisions

demands for careful analysis, specification, implementation, and testing. Rapid prototyping is an approach which allows crucial design decisions as early as possible. A rapid prototyping system should support maximal re-use and innovative combinations of existing methods, as well as simple and quick

Abstract—This paper explores the recent research developments in high-heat-flux thermal management. Cooling schemes such as pool boiling, detachable heat sinks, channel flow boiling, micro-channel and mini-channel heat sinks, jet-impingement, and sprays, are discussed and compared relative to heat

This paper provides an overview of innovations and initiatives in health care quality measurement and management in Austria between 1997 and 2011. It firstly offers a comprehensive description of the regulatory framework of the Austrian quality assurance system in health care and provides some

Global aging is one of the 20th century’s greatest success stories. Rapid economic development, advances in health care and triumphs in science and medicine have given us the gift of longevity. Yet as we celebrate our victories over the limitations of human life

and The ENBREC study group14 Bipolar disorders rank as one of the most disabling illnesses in working age adults worldwide. Despite this, the quality of care offered to patients with this disorder is suboptimal, largely due to limitations in our understanding of the pathology. Improving

. The challenges for designing group pooled schemes include the decreasing average payments when mortality improves significantly, the decreasing numbers in the pool at the older ages and the dependence of systematic mortality improvements across different ages of members in the pool. This paper assesses

people aged between 18 and 21 with type 1 diabetes feel about their use of mobile and web-based technology and whether it might enable them to engage in an improved way with the NHS and their own health to enhance health-related quality of life. It is intended to identify from their views and experiences

of CNN activations without degrading their discriminative power, this paper presents a simple but effective scheme called multi-scale orderless pooling (MOP-CNN). This scheme extracts CNN activa-tions for local patches at multiple scale levels, performs orderless VLAD pooling of these activations at each

, how financial market innovation might help to resolve concerns flowing from global ageing trends. We first provide context by reviewing the economics, finance, and insurance-related literature on how global ageing patterns may influence capital markets. We then turn to insurance markets, and discuss a
