Tackling Extended Hospital Stays in Patients with Acute Bacterial Skin and Skin Structure Infections by Gavin Barlow, Michael Wilke, Guillaume Béraud

“…It has shown that in some, though not all, clinical settings a reduction in the overall treatment cost is evident as, despite a higher medication cost, the lower hospitalisation time can lead to greater cost savings. In conclusion, while the burden of ABSSSI is rising, new treatment options provide additional therapeutic choice, although pharmacoeconomic considerations might limit use in some cases.…”

The Impact of Road Types on the Energy Consumption of Electric Vehicles by Tim Jonas, Taris Wilde, Christopher D. Hunter, Gretchen A. Macht

“…Thus, adapting eco-driving strategies, including the alteration of route choice to avoid “local roads” and “interstates,” can offer BEV drivers the potential for energy savings and range extensions. We propose a consideration of these findings to mitigate the effects of BEV range limitations and ease BEV adoption and ownership.…”

Max-Min Fair Link Quality in WSN Based on SINR by Ada Gogu, Dritan Nace, Supriyo Chatterjea, Arta Dilo

“…By guaranteeing a “fair” transmission medium (in terms of SINR), other network requirements may be directly affected, such as the schedule length, the throughput (number of concurrent links in a time slot), and energy savings. Hence, the whole problem seeks to find a feasible schedule and a power assignment scheme such that the schedule length is minimized and the concurrent transmissions have a fair quality in terms of SINR. …”
