The Genoa Active Message Machine (GAMMA) is a high-performance Active Messages-like communication layer implemented at kernel level as an extension of the Linux Operating System, and made available to user applications through a programming library. On low-cost clusters of Personal Computers (PCs) connected by Fast Ethernet, GAMMA achieves much better communication performance compared to publi...

Occupational Capabilities. The occupational capabilities of the MHSS offer the greatest potential benefit to a handicapped individual. There are many blueand white-collar jobs that can be adapted for MHSSbased performance. However, this area also poses the greatest software challenges because efficient software subroutines will be needed to interface the MHSS with the occupational equipment. Th...

Telemedicine scenarios include today in-hospital care management, remote teleconsulting, collaborative diagnosis and emergency situations handling. Different types of information need to be accessed by means of etherogeneous client devices in different communication environments in order to enable high quality continuous sanitary assistance delivery wherever and whenever needed. In this paper, ...

This paper focuses on the growing trends in the processor speed of mobile devices, which has already touched 2GHz and the huge internal and external memory available in the form of Micro SD cards, with supportable communication technology like 3 Generation Mobile Telephony. The mobile devices shall be out casting the Personal Computers in the coming decade as they are becoming sophisticated gen...

this article is concerned with eugene fontinell’s idea about personal immortality. fontinell has offered a specific view about the possibility of afterlife, through employing the experimental method, william james’s pragmatic method, and also developing william james’s field theory and his psychological ideas about the “self”.  fontinell believes that it is possible to imagine immortality in a ...

Previous studies have shown some key factors that influence the success of visualization quality for 3D objects of 3D map on Personal computers (PCs) and Laptops’, crucial to that is the 3D computational processing capabilities of PCs and Laptops. Unfortunately 3D applications on mobile devices are hindered by the lack of efficient mobile rendering interfaces, low computational resources and di...

This paper proposes to study IT acceptance in the social sector with Decomposed Theory of Planned Behavior. To address our unique research context, we expand the construct of perceived usefulness, arguing that not only personal usefulness but also organizational and customer usefulness can affect IT acceptance.

Competence is difficult to define. Continuous assessment of practice, which involves reviewing the literature, is complex. The study involved developing a suitable tool for assessing competent practice of student nurses. The problem was investigated using Personal Construct Theory and Repertory Grid Technique. The findings suggest that trained staff assess the socialisation process of becoming ...
