Cloud hosted business-data driven BI platforms
No full textBusiness Intelligence in Platform as a Service (PaaS) for information analysis is increasingly being considered for its applications in the enterprises because of its advantages. It is widely used for Data Analysis, Customer Churn Prediction, etc. However, the challenges that the traditional BI platform faces includes the tremendous volume of data, high time and space complexity of algorithms and the incompatibility in the Integration to the BI tools. Thus instead of having traditional Data Warehouses for storage which require high maintenance and storages, companies are moving towards more efficient cloud based storages
Assessment and Prevention Of Falls In Elderly: Nurses’ Role
Get PDFFalls in elderlies has been a major concern in geriatric care. One out of three elderlies have
been falling every year and the many more elderlies are constantly at risk of falls. These falls
lead to serious injuries like hip fractures and build sense of fear in elderlies, which limit their
activities and degrade their quality of life.
There has been seen a huge need to enhance the skill and knowledge of the present and future
nurses to ensure that they are professionally and personally capable to identify the risk factors
and plan prevention strategies accordingly.
Literature review has been used in this thesis to find out the possible assessment methods to
assess the risk factors of falls in elderly, the vulnerable groups of elderlies who have higher
chances of falling. In addition, the possible falls prevention strategies have been studied and
laid out in this thesis.
A total of 11 relevant articles were obtained from a reliable database search.
The contents of the thesis have been categorized into distinct assessment and prevention
headings for ease of reading and finding required information. In the conclusion end, the author has presented his own ideas and discussed the additional need for safety of elderlies

Failure to refill essential prescription medications for asthma among pediatric Medicaid beneficiaries with persistent asthma
No full textVarun Vaidya,1 Renuka Gupte,2 Rajesh Balkrishnan31Pharmacy Health Care Administration, Department of Pharmacy Practice, University of Toledo College of Pharmacy, Toledo, OH, USA; 2Private Practice, Sylvania, OH, USA; 3Department of Clinical, Social and Administrative Sciences, Pharmacy, The University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, USAAbstract: The problem of patients not taking medications as prescribed, also known as &quot;lack of medication adherence,&quot; is widely discussed as an issue related to suboptimal outcomes and excess health care expenditure. Although medication adherence is defined as patients not taking medications as prescribed, there are two elements to it: first, those who fail to follow the medication regimen by skipping a dose or not following the instructions, resulting in poor adherence with prescribed medicines; and, second, the patient who does not take the medication at all or stops after the initial fill. The existing literature contains a lot of studies on the first element, but very little is known about those who stop taking their medication after the initial fill or do not take it at all. In this study, our focus is on identifying patients who fail to refill a prescription for essential medicines, such as asthma-controlling drugs. Using Medicaid claims datasets, this study analyzed a pediatric population diagnosed with persistent asthma that discontinued an essential controlling medication after the initial fill. We found that more than half of this population did not continue their medication after the first fill. While there might be many reasons behind the failure to refill such medications, our data indicate that race/ethnicity, comorbid illness, and type of Medicaid plan are potentially associated with such behavior. Future research is warranted to understand this issue further and identify specific factors causing such behavior, such that strategies may be formulated by which poor adherence can be minimized.Keywords: medication adherence, asthma, Medicaid, controller medication, prescription refil
Heterogeneous networking testbeds integration and wireless network virtualization
No full textNetworking research has grown immensely over the past few years. This has urged the need for a heterogeneous networking research infrastructure, to experiment with the interaction and integration of different types of networks. This requirement led to the Global Environment for Network Innovations (GENI) effort, supported by NSF, which aims at creating a global infrastructure for conducting networking experiments across diverse substrates such as
wired, wireless, sensor and cellular networks. In this work, we discuss challenges involved in federating two diverse testbeds - PlanetLab and ORBIT and present a model for building a united
infrastructure for the models. PlanetLab is a global research wired network that supports the development of new network services. ORBIT
is a laboratory-based wireless network emulator for 802.11 testing.
An integrated wired-wireless testbed will increase the scalability of experimentation. Proof-of-concept experiments are also presented reinforcing the usefulness of the model in terms of facilitating experiments over the integrated infrastructure.
Such an integrated infrastructure poses a requirement of support for wireless network virtualization - supporting multiple concurrent
wireless experiments. Unlike wired networks, wireless networks present unique challenges making the task of wireless virtualization
a difficult problem. The critical problem of simultaneous experimentation in networks involving the wireless medium are identified and approaches towards it are discussed. We evaluate and compare two approaches towards wireless virtualization - SDMA (Space Division Channel Multiplexing) and VAP (Virtual AP Channel Multiplexing) suitable for supporting long running experiments. In this study conducted on ORBIT we quantify the difference in
performance and interference when using wireless virtualization and suggest measures to mitigate the same. The feasibilty study will serve as the first step towards ORBIT virtualization.M.S.Includes bibliographical references (p. 63-65)
A Systematic Review on Author Identification Methods
No full textAuthor Identification is a technique for identifying author of anonymous text. It has near about 130 year's long history, started with the work by Mendenhall 1987. Applications of Author identification include plagiarism detection, detecting anonymous author, in forensics and so on. In this paper the authors outline features used for Author identification like vocabulary, syntactic and others. Researchers worked on various methods for Author identification they also outline this paper on types of Author Identification methods that include 1. Profile-based Approaches which includes Probabilistic Models, Compression Models, Common n-Grams (CNG) approach, 2. Instance-based Approaches which includes Vector Space Models, Similarity-based Models, Meta-learning Models and 3. Hybrid Approaches. At the end the authors conclude this paper with observations and future scope.</p

Black holes in nonflat backgrounds: the Schwarzschild black hole in the Einstein Universe
Get PDFAs an example of a black hole in a non-flat background a composite static spacetime is constructed. It comprises a vacuum Schwarzschild spacetime for the interior of the black hole across whose horizon it is matched onto the spacetime of Vaidya representing a black hole in the background of the Einstein universe. The scale length of the exterior sets a maximum to the black hole mass. To obtain a non-singular exterior, the Vaidya metric is matched to an Einstein universe. The behavior of scalar waves is studied in this composite model
