25. Bases para uma metodologia de apoio à decisão para serviços de educação e saúde sob a ótica dos transportes / Bases for a decision support methodology for education and health services from a transportation perspective
One of the main problems faced by brazilian cities is the lack of adequate methodologies for the implementation and rational use of public service facilities (such as schools and health care centers). That was the starting point in the definition of the main objective of the present work, which is the development of a spatial analysis tool for seeking an opt

26. Schistosomiasis mansoni in Bananal (State of São Paulo, Brazil): II. Intermediate hosts
We conducted monthly snail captures in Bananal, State of São Paulo, Brazil, between March 1998 and February 2001, to identify Schistosoma mansoni vectors, estimate seasonal population changes, and delimit foci. We also evaluated the impact of improvements in city water supply and basic sanitation facilities. We identified 28,651 vector specimens, 28,438 as

27. Heuristic location-allocation for facilities location problems / Heurística de localizacão-alocacão para problemas de localizacão de facilidades
New location-allocation heuristic (LAH) algorithms applied in facility location problems are presented in this thesis. Such algorithms approach is based on clustering and its main objective is to find out a facility (object) in a space by minimizing a function. The LAH developed throughout this work was employed in two problems: the first problem is the Maxi

28. Serviços baseados na localização do usuário em um ambiente móvel
In the recent development stage of wireless devices, infra-structure and related technologies, demand for availability of useful services and applications is growing quickly. The cellular communication network, one of the most propelling impulses of the market, is already enabling the development of data access technologies. However, either with facilities o

29. Some Ecological Differentials in the Use of Medical Services
Patterns of travel to medical care facilities are investigated to determine the extent to which a sample of urban residents used the facilities nearest their homes, and to explore some social and location variables associated with their deviation from minimal travel. Distance and direction of travel to various medical facilities by selected residents in the

30. Locating ambulatory medical care facilities for the elderly.
The importance of effective planning strategies for the location of primary medical services for the independently living elderly increases as their absolute number and proportion in the general population increases. Current spatial planning strategies focus on providing services in centralized locations or decentralized at the level of the somewhat problema

31. Location and cost of ambulances serving a rural area.
A location model is used to determine the most efficient (i.e., least-cost) number and location of ambulance facilities in a rural area. The model incorporates response time and service time standards into the analysis and indicates the trade-off between costs and various time standards. The financial feasibility of individual facility locations is then anal

32. Facility location: a review of context-free and EMS models.
EMS location models are those formulated to address specific problems of emergency medical services systems; context-free location models are those developed without reference to particular applications. The literature on these two types of public facility location models is reviewed, and the development of the maximal covering model from several earlier con

33. Delivery Practices of Traditional Birth Attendants in Dhaka Slums, Bangladesh
This paper describes associations among delivery-location, training of birth attendants, birthing practices, and early postpartum morbidity in women in slum areas of Dhaka, Bangladesh. During November 1993–May 1995, data on delivery-location, training of birth attendants, birthing practices, delivery-related complications, and postpartum morbidity were col

34. Location of Ambulatory Care Centers in a Metropolitan Area
A mathematical model is developed for determining the best locations for prepaid group practice or HMO ambulatory care clinics within a metropolitan area. Several possible forms of a function for estimating enrollment are investigated on the basis of available data, and the model is applied to metropolitan Allegheny County in Pennsylvania to determine clinic

35. Sanitation in self-service automatic washers.
The potential for microbial transfer in self-service laundry washing machines was investigated by obtaining swab samples from the interior surfaces of commercial machines and wash water samples before and after disinfectant treatment. Three disinfectants (chlorine, a quaternary ammonium product, and a phenolic disinfectant) were used. Four self-service laund

36. The geographical accessibility of hospitals to the aged: a geographic information systems analysis within Illinois.
OBJECTIVE. This article uses geographic information systems and their related tools to empirically measure and display the geographic accessibility of the aged population to hospital facilities within Illinois. DATA SOURCES AND STUDY SETTING. Geographic accessibility of Illinois' aged population is measured from each of the state's 10,796 census block groups
