Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermining the Optimal Software Rejuvenation Schedule via Semi-Markov Decision ProcessHiroyuki Eto, Tadashi DohiSoftware rejuvenation is a preventive and proactive maintenance policy that is particularly useful for counteracting the phenomenon of software aging. In this study we consider an operational software system with multiple degradations and derive the optimal software rejuvenation policy minimizing the expected operation cost per unit time in the steady state, via the dynamic programming approach. Especially, we show analytically … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,979 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRecreational Viagra Use and Sexual Risk among Drug Abusing MenDennis G. Fisher, Robert Malow, Rhonda Rosenberg et al.Until recently, the Viagra connection to HIV was anchored in older adults. However, CDC investigation showed stability in 50+ HIV diagnoses on the heels of upward trends in risk indicators among men who have sex with men (MSM) and substance abusing populations. Signs have increasingly pointed to recreational drug use among younger populations, to which Viagra is being added to … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 10,610 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntroduction of Three Complementary Technologies into Clinical Medicine: Development of New Diagnostic and Prognostic ParametersGernot P. Tilz, Marco Wiltgen, Ulrike Demel et al.Molecular medicine leads us to understand some diseases at the molecular level. Examples are the analysis of immune complexes and receptor - anti receptor compounds used in clinical medicine. Structural changes of some serum proteins occur in inflammation, neoplasie and autoimmunity.
