Modeling response times in the Google ROADEF/EURO Challenge [PDF]

, 2012
In this paper, we extend the machine reassignment model proposed by Google for the ROADEF/EURO Challenge. The aim of the challenge is to develop algorithms for the efficient solutions of data-center consolidation problems.

Preferences of Pediatric Patients and Their Caregivers for Chemotherapy‐Induced Nausea and Vomiting Control Endpoints: A Mixed Methods Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Although not always achieved, complete chemotherapy‐induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) control is the conventional goal of CINV prophylaxis. In this two‐center, mixed‐methods study, we sought to understand the preferences of adolescent patients and family caregivers for CINV control endpoints.

‘They Need to Hear You Say It’: Healthcare Professionals’ Perspectives on Barriers and Enablers to End‐of‐Life Discussions With Adolescents and Young Adults With Cancer

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT End‐of‐life conversations with adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with cancer rarely occur without the guidance of healthcare professionals. As a part of the ‘Difficult Discussions’ study, focused on palliative care and advance care planning discussions with AYAs with cancer, we investigated the factors that healthcare professionals identify ...

Center conditions for a cubic differential system with one invariant straight line and one invariant conic

Acta et Commentationes: Ştiinţe Exacte şi ale Naturii
In this work we find the center conditions for a cubic system of differential equations with a critical point of a center or a focus type having one invariant straight line and one invariant conic. The center-focus problem is studied by using the Darboux
