Mathematical model for energy savings in blood donations at the Cienfuegos Blood Bank by David Lorenzo Calles, Manuel E. Cortés Cortés

“…Javascript software was created to solve the problem. Different scenarios were generated to observe their behavior, the modeling was divided into different numbers of daily donations, during the period of 5 years, 25, 30, 35, and 40 donations per day and the results that minimize energy consumption are given.…”

CF-RIP: a convergence-free mechanism for RIP protocol by WANG Bin1, ZHANG Jian-hui2, GUO Yun-fei2, LAN Ju-long2

“…In order to solve the problem of distance vector routing protocol converge very slowly to the correct routes when link costs increase,a new convergence-free routing protocol CF-RIP using RIP（routing information protocol） was proposed,which is based on failure-carrying packets and multiple viable next hops per destination.The new protocol eliminated the convergence period altogether and could solve the problem of count to infinity.The CF-RIP provided better stability and availability;meanwhile it was proved that a loop-free path to a destination if one such path exists.Simulations performed show that CF-RIP can dealing with the simultaneous failures of multiple arbitrary links effectively.…”

Use of targeted mobile X-ray screening and computer-aided detection software to identify tuberculosis among high-risk groups in Romania: descriptive results of the E-DETECT TB acti... by Ibrahim Abubakar, Dee Menezes, Alistair Story, Rob van Hest, Beatrice Mahler, Gerard de Vries, Dan Gainaru, Gilda Popescu

“…Objective To implement and assess the mobile X-ray unit (MXU) equipped with digital radiography, computer-aided detection (CAD) software and molecular point of care tests to improve early tuberculosis (TB) diagnosis in vulnerable populations in a TB outreach screening programme in Romania.Design Descriptive study.Settings Prisons in Bucharest and other cities in the southern part of Romania, homeless shelters and services for problem drug users in Bucharest, and Roma populations in Bucharest and Craiova.Participants 5510 individuals attended the MXU service; 5003 persons were radiologically screened, 61% prisoners, 15% prison staff, 11% Roma population, 10% homeless persons and/or problem drug users and 3% other.Interventions Radiological digital chest X-ray (CXR) screening of people at risk for TB, followed by CAD and human reading of the CXRs, and further TB diagnostics when the pulmonologist classified the CXR as suggestive for TB.Primary and secondary outcome measures Ten bacteriologically confirmed TB cases were identified translating into an overall yield of 200 per 100 000 persons screened (95% CIs of 109 to 368 per 100 000). …”
