Efficiency of the operating room suite
The American Journal of Surgery, 2003The need to control high costs of running operating rooms while providing for timely patient care led us to assess the time wasted in the operating room (OR).OR use by two general surgery and two orthopedic departments in a metropolitan public hospital were analyzed, and the time elapsed when a scheduled OR remained unused or the patient was still ...

An Efficient Data Structure for Lattice Operations
SIAM Journal on Computing, 1999Summary: In this paper, we consider the representation and management of an element set on which a lattice partial order relation is defined. In particular, let \(n\) be the element set size. We present an \(O(n\sqrt n)\)-space implicit data structure for performing the following set of basic operations: 1.

IS Strategic Planning for Operational Efficiency
Information Systems Management, 2007The purpose of this article is to argue that, despite the constant economic upheaval and incessant technological changes, strategic planning for information systems is still a useful and critically important exercise for all organizations. Eight tenets for successful IS planning are identified from prior literature and then "tested" with two case ...

2015 IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems (ISCAS), 2015
A linearity efficiency factor (LEF) is proposed in this paper to quantify the trade-off among linearity, bandwidth, and power consumption in designing differential pair or operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) circuits. The unitless LEF can be used to evaluate the trade-off efficiency of a circuit topology without considering the effects of ...

Efficiency evaluation of data warehouse operations
Decision Support Systems, 2007We present an efficiency model for data warehouse operations and analyze a data set to evaluate the model. The model contains salient variables to evaluate the efficiency of an organization's data warehouse operations for refresh processing and query production. The variables in the model include resource consumption (labor usage and computing budgets),

Efficient pointwise and blockwise encrypted operations
Proceedings of the 10th ACM workshop on Multimedia and security, 2008Signal processing tools working directly on encrypted data could provide an efficient solution to application scenarios where sensitive signals must be protected from an untrusted processing device. In this paper, we investigate an issue usually neglected in the proposed solutions for secure processing in the encrypted domain, that is the data ...
