This volume is a collection of papers on the application of operational research approaches and methods to problems in the health services.
This book outlines the core theory and practice of data mining and knowledge discovery (DM & KD) examining theoretical foundations for various methods, and presenting an array of examples, many drawn from real-life applications. Most theoretical developments are accompanied by extensive empirical analysis, offering a deep insight into both theoretical and practical aspects of the subject. The book presents the combined research experiences of 40 expert contributors of world renown.

Dicembre 2012. Bergamo è sconvolta dalle gesta di un serial killer che uccide barbaramente giovani ragazze per poi violentarne con brutalità il cadavere. L'assassino sembra invisibile per la facilità con cui riesce, di notte, ad avvicinare e sorprendere le vittime senza che oppongano la minima resistenza. Sui corpi lascia un biglietto delirante, in cui paragona la propria virilità a quella del condottiero bergamasco Bartolomeo Colleoni, famoso per esser nato con tre testicoli. Per questo motivo il maniaco, in un paragone pienamente giustificato con Jack lo squartatore, viene soprannominato "Bart lo stupratore". Il commissario capo Elio Colani, navigato dirigente di Polizia, si trova ad affrontare un caso senza precedenti nella storia criminale non solo bergamasca, ma anche italiana. Mentre il ripetersi di nuovi delitti a breve distanza di tempo fa crescere sempre di più il panico nella cittadinanza, le indagini procedono tra tentativi promettenti e svolte inaspettate. Ma solo attraverso una discesa dentro lo spaventoso cuore di tenebra dell'assassino sarà possibile scoprirne il volto. Un thriller che lascia senza fiato fino all'ultima pagina.
ORAHS, the Working Group on Operational Research Applied to Health Services, is a special-interest group of EURO (the European Association of OR Societies). ORAHS meets every year in a different host country. The objectives of the group include communication of ideas, knowledge and experience concerning the application of Operational Research approaches and methods to problems in the health services area; mutual support between members; and collaboration on joint projects. The 31st meeting of ORAHS was held in 2005 at the University of Southampton, UK. A total of forty-one scientific papers were presented, nineteen of which are contained in this volume. The application areas covered include resource allocation, performance measurement and disease modelling, from within Europe and beyond. The approaches used range from mathematical optimization, simulation and statistical modelling through to «soft» OR. These proceedings provide a broad perspective on current research in this area across Europe and beyond.
"During World War II a powerful system for prisoners of war to communicate with their loved ones, and for their loved ones to learn about their imprisonment, was developed through the Vatican Information Office, which was set up by Pope Pius XII immediately after the war began in 1939. Young and old appealed to Pius XII for help in locating missing sons, husbands, relatives, and friends. In turn, the office he set up to deal with such requests sought night and day to provide information and comfort. To help the effort, Vatican Radio broadcast 1.2 million shortwave messages asking for news about missing individuals." "Not only are there hundreds of thousands of documents regarding this clearinghouse activity in the Vatican Secret Archives, but there are also 20 million letters with additional information on file cards for each of these individuals. Crusade of Charity reveals this untold story of grief and heroism, comfort and support, through documents, letters, telegrams, and reports of the apostolic delegates who visited war prisoners in camps around the world, as well as through the words of family and friends."--BOOK JACKET.
