Third degree waiting time discrimination: optimal allocation of a public sector health care treatment under rationing by waiting [PDF]

open access: yes
In many public health care systems treatment is rationed by waiting time. We examine the optimal allocation of a .xed supply of a treatment between di¤erent groups of patients.

Extended Kinetic Models with Waiting-Time Distributions: Exact Results

open access: yes, 2000
Inspired by the need for effective stochastic models to describe the complex behavior of biological motor proteins that move on linear tracks exact results are derived for the velocity and dispersion of simple linear sequential models (or one-dimensional

Ferroelectric Quantum Dots for Retinomorphic In‐Sensor Computing

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
This work has provided a protocol for fabricating retinomorphic phototransistors by integrating ferroelectric ligands with quantum dots. The resulting device combines ferroelectricity, optical responsiveness, and low‐power operation to enable adaptive signal amplification and high recognition accuracy under low‐light conditions, while supporting ...

Waiting time distribution for trains of quantized electron pulses

open access: yes, 2014
We consider a sequence of quantized Lorentzian pulses of non-interacting electrons impinging on a quantum point contact (QPC) and study the waiting time distribution (WTD), for any transmission and any number of pulses.

Rapid Fabrication of Self‐Propelled and Steerable Magnetic Microcatheters for Precision Medicine

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
A rapid Joule heating fabrication method for the production of self‐propelling, adaptive microcatheters, with tunable stiffness and integrated microfluidic channels is presented. Demonstrated through three microrobotic designs, including a steerable guiding catheter, an untethered wave‐crawling TubeBot, and a distal‐end propelled microcatheter, it was ...

Grinding Kinetic Equation with an Arbitrary Law of Waiting Time Distribution

open access: yesМоделирование и анализ информационных систем, 2015
A generalized kinetic equation of a grinding process is obtained. The equation is valid for arbitrary distribution of particle destruction waiting time. In terms of the equation a grinding process model with the power law of waiting time distribution is ...

Is Waiting-time Prioritisation Welfare Improving? [PDF]

open access: yes
Rationing by waiting time is commonly used in health care systems with zero or low money prices. Some systems prioritise particular types of patient and offer them lower waiting times.

Tuning Amorphous‐Crystalline Catalytic Interfaces by Mechanochemistry: Cu‐Based Metallic Glasses Coupled with Ceria for CO Oxidation

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Ball‐milling Cu‐based metallic glasses with ceria creates a unique nanostructure where metallic glass particles are wrapped by CeO2 nanoparticles. The intimate integration triggers copper state reorganization during reaction and aging, boosting CO oxidation and COPrOx activity.

Estimation Vehicular Waiting Time at Traffic Build-Up Queues

open access: yesInternational Journal of Distributed Sensor Networks, 2013
Due to the high growth of social economic activities and the increased need for mobility in recent days, transportation problems like congestion, accidents, and pollution have been increased. However, improving the reliability of delay estimates and real-
