This paper proposes the PSS Business Case Map as a tool to support designers’ idea generation in PSS design. The map visualizes the similarities among PSS business cases in a two-dimensional diagram. To make the map, PSS business cases are first collected by conducting, for example, a literature survey. The collected business cases are then classified from multiple aspects that characterize each case such as its product type, service type, target customer, and so on. Based on the results of this classification, the similarities among the cases are calculated and visualized by using the Self-Organizing Map (SOM) technique. A SOM is a type of artificial neural network that is trained using unsupervised learning to produce a low-dimensional (typically two-dimensional) view from high-dimensional data. The visualization result is offered to designers in a form of a two-dimensional map, which is called the PSS Business Case Map. By using the map, designers can figure out the position of their current business and can acquire ideas for the servitization of their business.

A significant relationship between the oestrogen receptor gene (ESR) and litter size has been detected in USA populations of Large White and a synthetic comprising 50% Meishan (Rothschild et al., 1995). Animals carrying two copies of the favourable allele (B) had an extra pig born per litter than those that did not have the allele. This paper reports on results observed in a UK 50% Meishan synthetic and four UK Large White lines.Litter size data from 50% Meishan synthetic (L93) full-sib females where more than one ESR genotype was segregating. Data were analysed using a mixed model with full relationships and including the fixed effects of season of farrowing, parity, ESR genotype (AA, AB or BB) and service type (AI or natural service). Heritiability and permanent environmental effects for litter size were assumed as 0.09 and 0.11, repectively. A total of 27 full-sib families were represented and included 62 sows and 139 litter records. Hypothesis testing used the option in PEST under a mixed model (Groeneveld et al., 1991).

We consider a multiserver queueing system with two input flows. Type-1 customers have preemptive priority and are lost during arrival only if all servers are occupied by type-1 customers. If all servers are occupied, but some provide service to type-2 customers, service of type-2 customer is terminated and type-1 customer occupies the server. If the number of busy servers is less than the thresholdMduring type-2 customer arrival epoch, this customer is accepted. Otherwise, it is lost or becomes a retrial customer. It will retry to obtain service. Type-2 customer whose service is terminated is lost or moves to the pool of retrial customers. The service time is exponentially distributed with the rate dependent on the customer’s type. Such queueing system is suitable for modeling cognitive radio. Type-1 customers are interpreted as requests generated by primary users. Type-2 customers are generated by secondary or cognitive users. The problem of optimal choice of the thresholdMis the subject of this paper. Behavior of the system is described by the multidimensional Markov chain. Its generator, ergodicity condition, and stationary distribution are given. The system performance measures are obtained. The numerical results show the effectiveness of considered admission control.

Information security is very important in today's technology. Information storage and crossing is currently no longer using paper media, but has used a lot of computer and internet media. PT. Torini Jaya Abadi is one that uses computer and internet media for information storage and crossing. However, there are disturbances such as heavy server access, which cannot be accessed and sometimes it cannot enter into the database server from the indication that the server might be exposed to a virus or DDoS (Distributed Danial of Service) type attacks occur on the server. Based on these problems, the author uses a honeypot to detect an attack based on alerts that have been accommodated in the log and can also provide information about the attacks that occur, from the results obtained honeyd is able to resemble an original system that pretends to have services that are not real , also able to detect attacks in real time and provide information from attackker, honeyd can emulate virtual hosts that are similar to the original computer, by obtaining logs from the honeyd admin system to find out information that occurs on the server, with honeyd network systems can help detect attacks in real time.

<b>OBJECTIVE</b> <div><p>Diabetes is associated with poor oral health, but incremental expenditures for dental care associated with diabetes in the U.S. are unknown. We aimed to quantify these incremental expenditures per person and for the nation. </p> <p><b>RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS</b></p> <p>We analyzed data from 46,633 non-institutionalized adults aged ≥18 years old who participated in the 2016–2017 Medical Expenditures Panel Survey. We used two-part models to estimate dental expenditures per person in total, by payment source, and by dental service type, controlling for sociodemographic characteristics, health status, and geographic variables. Incremental expenditure was the difference in predicted expenditure for dental care between adults with and without diabetes. The total expenditure for the US was the expenditure per person multiplied by the estimated number of people with diabetes. Expenditures were adjusted to 2017 US dollars.</p> <p><b>RESULTS</b></p> <p>The mean adjusted annual diabetes-associated incremental dental expenditure was $77 per person and $1.9 billion for the nation. Fifty-one percent ($40) and 39% ($30) of this incremental expenditure were paid out-of-pocket and by private insurance; 69% ($53) of the incremental expenditure was for restorative/prosthetic/surgical services; and adults with diabetes had lower expenditure for preventive services than those without (incremental -$7). Incremental expenditures were higher in older adults, non-Hispanic whites, and people with higher levels of income and education. </p> <p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b></p> <p>Diabetes is associated with higher dental expenditures. These results fill a gap in the estimates of total medical expenditures associated with diabetes in the US and highlight the importance of preventive dental care among people with diabetes.</p></div>
