Living with ageing and dying: international perspectives on palliative and end of life care for older people
No full textAgeing populations mean that palliative and end of life care for older people must assume greater priority. Indeed, there is an urgent need to improve the experiences of older people at the end of life, given that they have been identified as the 'disadvantaged dying'. To date, models of care are underpinned by the ideals of specialist palliative care which were developed to meet the needs of predominantly middle-aged and 'young old' people, and evidence suggests these may not be adequate for the older population group. This book identifies ways forward for improving the end of life experiences of older people by taking an interdisciplinary and international approach. Providing a synergy between the currently disparate literature of gerontology and palliative care, a wide range of leading international experts contribute to discussions regarding priority areas in relation to ageing and end of life care. Some authors take a theoretical focus, others a very practical approach rooted in their clinical and research experience. The issues covered are diverse, as are the countries in which discussions are contextualised. Those working in both palliative care and gerontology will find the issues and advice discussed in this book hugely topical and of real practical value.http://librarysearch.auckland.ac.nz/primo_library/libweb/action/display.do?fn=search&doc=uoa_voyager2150395&vid=UOA2_

Violations of the Ingleton inequality and revising the four-atom conjecture
No full textsummary:The entropy region is a fundamental object of study in mathematics, statistics, and information theory. On the one hand, it involves pure group theory, governing inequalities satisfied by subgroup indices, whereas on the other hand, computing network coding capacities amounts to a convex optimization over this region. In the case of four random variables, the points in the region that satisfy the Ingleton inequality (corresponding to abelian groups and to linear network codes) form a well-understood polyhedron, and so attention has turned to Ingleton-violating points in the region. How far these points extend is measured by their Ingleton score, where points with positive score are Ingleton-violating. The Four-Atom Conjecture stated that the Ingleton score cannot exceed 0.089373, but this was disproved by Matúš and Csirmaz. In this paper we employ two methods to investigate Ingleton-violating points and thereby produce the currently largest known Ingleton scores. First, we obtain many Ingleton-violating examples from non-abelian groups. Factorizability appears in many of those and is used to propose a systematic way to produce more. Second, we rephrase the problem of maximizing Ingleton score as an optimization question and introduce a new Ingleton score function, which is a limit of Ingleton scores with maximum unchanged. We use group theory to exploit symmetry in these new Ingleton score functions and the relations between them. Our approach yields some large Ingleton scores and, using this methodology, we find that there are entropic points with score 0.0925000777, currently the largest known score
