Envisioning the National Health Care Quality Report

The quality of health care received by the people of the United States falls far short of what it should be (Advisory Commission on Consumer Protection and Quality in the Health Care Industry, 1998; Chassin and Galvin, 1998). A large body of literature documents serious quality problems. There is a gap (some say a “chasm”) between the health care services that should be provided based on cu…

Gaining Control of Cellular Traffic Accounting by Spurious TCP Retransmission

Packet retransmission is a fundamental TCP mechanism that ensures reliable data transfer between two end nodes. Interestingly, when it comes to cellular data accounting, TCP retransmissins create an important policy issue giving rise to a tension between ISPs accounting for network resource consumption, and users only being aware of the application layer data.

A Review of Technology-Based Approaches for Reading Instruction: Tools for R…

When children do not learn to read, their general knowledge and writing abilities suffe…
