TL;DR: Research Article * Michael Barrett was the accepting senior editor and went through three revisions of this article before publication.

TL;DR: This paper demonstrates that the computational effort required to develop numerical solutions to continuous-state dynamic programs can be reduced significantly when cubic piecewise polynomial functions, rather than tensor product linear interpolants, are used to approximate the value function.

TL;DR: In this article, the Shasta-Trinity reservoir operating policies were derived using stochastic dynamic programming (SDP) with different hydrologic state variables, and the authors compared how well SDP models predict their policies and how well these policies performed when simulated.

TL;DR: The results exclude all but a very modest increase in the risk of recurrent intracranial haemorrhage with antiplatelet therapy for patients on antithrombotic therapy for the prevention of occlusive vascular disease when they developed intracerebral haem orrhage.

TL;DR: Prehospital treatment with transdermal GTN does not seem to improve functional outcome in patients with presumed stroke, and it is feasible for UK paramedics to obtain consent and treat patients with stroke in the ultra-acute prehospital setting.
