Information and communications Corporations usually work in an environment in which business requirements are subject to continuous inevitable change. Therefore, in order to sustain competitive advantage, the corporations are required to continuously configure their business processes and operations with respect to these changes.This paper provides a model interconnecting ICT adoption,ICT-enabl...

OBJECTIVES Previously, we showed that pre-treatment tumour plasma perfusion (Fp) predicts RECIST response to induction chemotherapy (ICT) in locoregionally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). The aim here was to determine whether the pre-treatment tumour Fp estimate, changes in tumour Fp or RECIST response post 2 cycles of ICT were prognostic for long-term survival outcomes....

The current healthcare delivery model will not meet future healthcare demands. The only sustainable healthcare future is one that best leverages advances in technology to improve productivity and efficiency. Information communication technology (ICT) has, therefore, been touted as the panacea of future healthcare challenges. Many ICT projects in healthcare, however, fail to deliver on their pro...

Climate change is one of today's most pressing global issues. Policies to guide mitigation and adaptation are needed to avoid the devastating impacts of climate change.

This paper reviews and discusses the literature regarding hea...

This paper studies the impact of the information and communication technologies (ICT) on U.S. economic growth using a dynamic general equilibrium approach. We use a production function with six di¤erent capital inputs, three of them corresponding to ICT assets and other three to non-ICT assets. We …nd that the technological change embedded in hardware equipment is the main leading nonneutral fo...

With increasing concern regarding global climate change and volatility of energy markets, computing has begun to embrace the notion of Green information and communication technologies (ICT), in which the environmental impact is taken as a consideration in the design of new technologies and systems. A broad concept, Green ICT of course has varied meanings. Some consider recycling of components w...
