Financial cost implications of an expanded free Antiretroviral therapy programme in Uganda and its financial sustainability
… treatment centre in Uganda were analysed. The key results from this centre were used to estimate the incremental costs associated with the scaling up of ART services in Uganda from the provider's perspective. A key concern was that the financial costs involved might not be financially sustainable …

Passivity based control in software systems: example and case studies
… systems in a general way. We first cover key results from passivity theory. Then, using an example, simulated system, we demonstrate how to design a controller which guarantees asymptotic BIBO stability for a system using a passivity based control, or PBC, approach. Finally, we examine …

Determinants of facility level environmental inspections
… in Illinois. Our analysis has several key results. First, at the facility level, a majority of inspections are memoryless, though they are targeted according to local jurisdiction parameters. Second, although some facilities are targeted for more frequent non-memoryless inspections, …
