Introduction: Increasing pressure on available funds in health care section especially hospitals, enhances the need of analyzing different strategies in economic terms. One of the solutions for the optimal use of financial resources and potentials in hospitals and health care centers is using elements of the marketing mix. In this way we could make the best use of the resources...

Web-based information systems provide to their users the ability to interleave querying and browsing during their information discovery efforts. The MIX system provides an API called QDOM (Querible Document Object Model) that supports the interleaved querying and browsing of virtual XML views, specified in an XQuery-like language. QDOM is based on the DOM standard. It allows the client applicat...

In this paper, we propose a novel and efficient protocol for proving the correctness of a shuffle, without leaking how the shuffle was performed. Using this protocol, we can prove the correctness of a shuffle of n data with roughly 18n exponentiations, where as the protocol of Sako-Kilian[SK95] required 642n and that of Abe[Ab99] required 22n logn. The length of proof will be only 2n bits in ou...

A nonlinear programming optimization model was developed to maximize margin over feed cost in broiler feed formulation and is described in this paper. The model identifies the optimal feed mix that maximizes profit margin. Optimum metabolizable energy level and performance were found by using Excel Solver nonlinear programming. Data from an energy density study with broilers were fitted to quad...

Modem competitive scenario necessitates the achievement of strategic fit between competitive and supply chain strategies, for effective and economic response in filling customer's orders, by a manufacturing enterprise. Towards this end, all the decisions (strategic, planning and operational) with regard to supply chain ought to be in conformity with strategic fit zone along cost efficiency and ...

When the decisions are analytically supported they cannot be challenged and at same time, quality of decision increases. This paper is about proposing such a model which provides analytical support to for selection footwear articles produced. aimed suggest decision-making deciding number pairs different produced in way that cost profit could minimized maximized respectively. research was conduc...

In this paper, we propose a new primitive called non interactive deniable ring authentication: it is possible to convince a verifier that a member of an ad hoc collection of participants is authenticating a message m without revealing which one and the verifier V cannot convince any third party that the message m was indeed authenticated in a non-interactive way. Unlike the deniable ring authen...

Two primary goals of a research field are (i) communicate and preserve knowledge, and (ii) build and maintain a professional community. A range of tools are at its disposal: books, journals, newsletters, lectures, exhibitions, person-to-person communication, magazine and newspaper articles, workshops, and conferences. Each field is marked by a distinct mix and weighting of these venues. To show...
