Abstract:
Objective: A model of intermittent psychiatric service provision to rural and remote New South Wales communities by metropolitan psychiatrists and mental health professionals has been evaluated. The services provided included peer support to lone mental health and generic health workers, direct psychiatric care to clients in their own environment and skills development education sessions to general health staff and other professionals affiliated with health care (e.g. police and ambulance officers). Method: There were 10 visits of teams made up of a psychiatrist and another mental health professional to six rural and remote locations. Outcomes of the services delivered were examined including clinical services and teaching skills training sessions. Indirect outcome measures included changes to Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme prescription patterns in areas serviced and data regarding transfer of clients for psychiatric care in regional centres. Difficulties in evaluation are discussed. Results: The feasibility of intermittent service provision was demonstrated. Education packages were well received and a positive change in workers' attitudes toward mental health practice was found. Conclusion: Intermittent psychiatric services in remote settings add value to health care delivery particularly when dovetailed with skills-based education sessions.

Abstract:
This document proposes a methodology for assessing the quality of water distribution service in the context of intermittent supply, based on a comparison of joint results from literature reviews and feedback from drinking water operators who had managed these networks, with standards for defining the quality of drinking water service. The paper begins by reviewing and proposing an analysis of the definition and characterization of intermittent water supply (IWS), highlighting some important findings. The diversity of approaches used to address the issue and the difficulty of defining a precise and detailed history of water supply in the affected systems broadens the spectrum of intermittency characterization and the problems it raises. The underlined results are then used to structure an evaluation framework for the water service and to develop improvement paths defined in the intermittent networks. The resulting framework highlights the means available to water stakeholders to assess their operational and management performance in achieving the improvement objectives defined by the environmental and socio-economic contexts in which the network operates. Practical examples of intermittent system management are collected from water system operators and presented for illustration purposes (Jeddah, Algiers, Port-au-Prince, Amman, Cartagena, Barranquilla, Mexico, Cancun, Saltillo, Mumbai, Delhi, Coimbatore …).

Abstract:
We examine a model of Cournot competition with congestion motivated by recent policy to allow commercial sharing of wireless spectrum that is assigned to other users such as government agencies. A key feature of such spectrum is that it is intermittently available because of the incumbent user’s activity. In our model, wireless service providers (SPs) compete for a common pool of customers using their own proprietary (exclusively licensed) bands of spectrum along with access to an additional intermittent band. When the intermittent band is unavailable, any traffic carried on that band must be shifted to the proprietary bands. Customers are sensitive to both the price they pay and the average congestion they experience across the bands of spectrum from which they receive service. We compare two different access policies for this intermittent band: one in which it is open to all SPs and one in which it is licensed to a single SP. We also allow the band to be divided into multiple subbands where each subband is either open or licensed. We characterize trade-offs between social welfare and consumer welfare that depend on the choice of different access policies and assignments of subbands to SPs. These can involve subtle issues related to the ability of a larger SP to make more efficient use of intermittent spectrum and the increase in competition by assigning more spectrum to smaller SPs.

Abstract:
Introduction Clinical facilitation is an established strategy for introducing innovation into clinical practice. The Queensland Centre for Perinatal and Infant Mental Health has used clinical facilitation to establish a telehealth service to support perinatal and infant mental health in regional, rural and remote areas of the Australian state of Queensland. The aim of this study is to explore the role of clinical facilitation in implementing and sustaining the telehealth service. Methods Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 14 remote-site users of the telehealth service. Interviews were analysed using thematic analysis. Results Two dominant themes emerged: unmet need and service visibility. The study confirms the usefulness of telehealth as a way to address unmet need for specialist mental health services in regional, rural and remote areas. The study also provides evidence that a telehealth service with intermittent demand requires a consistent clinical facilitator, to keep the service visible to remote-site clinicians and maintain awareness of the service as a referral option. Conclusion Previous research has identified the importance of clinical facilitation in initial service implementation. This study demonstrates the necessity of clinical facilitation for ongoing service provision. Facilitation is likely to be more important where the telehealth service responds to intermittent or infrequent clinical need, compared with high-volume services where clinics are conducted routinely.

Abstract:
This paper proposes a slow-moving management method for a system using of intermittent demand per unit time and lead time demand of items in service enterprise inventory models. Our method uses zero-inflated truncated normal statistical distribution, which makes it possible to model intermittent demand per unit time using mixed statistical distribution. We conducted numerical experiments based on an algorithm used to forecast intermittent demand over fixed lead time to show that our proposed distributions improved the performance of the continuous review inventory model with shortages. We evaluated multi-criteria elements (total cost, fill-rate, shortage of quantity per cycle, and the adequacy of the statistical distribution of the lead time demand) for decision analysis using the Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS). We confirmed that our method improved the performance of the inventory model in comparison to other commonly used approaches such as simple exponential smoothing and Croston’s method. We found an interesting association between the intermittency of demand per unit of time, the square root of this same parameter and reorder point decisions, that could be explained using classical multiple linear regression model. We confirmed that the parameter of variability of the zero-inflated truncated normal statistical distribution used to model intermittent demand was positively related to the decision of reorder points. Our study examined a decision analysis using illustrative example. Our suggested approach is original, valuable, and, in the case of slow-moving item management for service companies, allows for the verification of decision-making using multiple criteria.

Abstract:
Two or three times each year children are seen by the Urology Service at Children's Hospital, Washington, DC, who have a history of intermittent, severe midabdominal pain associated with vomiting due to intermittent ureteropelvic junction obstruction. These symptoms may have been on-going for years. The following case history serves as a typical example. CASE REPORT A 6-years-old boy was referred to the Urology Service from the Gastrointestinal Service where he had been sent by his primary physician. He had a 1-year history of episodic abdominal pain occurring one to two times per month initially, but becoming more frequent during the past few months.

Abstract:
In this paper, we design a service robot which not only can plan road to a destination by itself, but also can take an elevator to every floor. For planning road, in order to solve the Hagisonic Stargazer Robot localization system problem which in large environment will need to set a lot of landmark and this way will increase the lead time and memory capacity. So we use the concept of road nodes to combine with Stargazer landmark and Dijkstra’s algorithm. Robot can localize by itself and can plan the shortest road to a destination. In dead region of Stargazer, we integrate with a laser range finder and e-compass to assist robot in navigation, and use the laser range finder simultaneously to avoid front obstacle. For taking elevator, we design a wireless control of independent mechanism. Robot can use Xbee transmit command to control servo motor to push elevator button and use RFID to determine whether the arrival task Floor. Last, we use Borland C++ Builder to design a Human–Computer interaction. People can operate monitor to choice receiver, and we add the functions of remote call and setting code which can increase the practicability of this service robots.
