The first part of the workflow is about automatic fragmentation of media assets to facilitate their reuse and repurposing, using the Media Fragments URI specification. These fragments are then semantically annotated during the second step of the workflow (using automatic, semiautomatic and manual approaches). Annotations are based on semantic data and existing vocabularies and ontologies. Final...

Internet is widely known for lacking any kind of mechanism for the provisioning of Quality of Service guarantees. An overlay Resource Control Management Layer on top of a Differentiated Services core network is introduced for managing and adjusting the resources among network elements. This layer realises an algorithm which provides a dynamic approach for resource distribution. Our experimental...

This research investigates the usage distribution of instructional resources shared among educators in an online learning community. The usage of a resource is defined by the number of unique educators who use (click on) it. We explored what the usage distribution of these resources looks like and we investigated what underlying mechanisms may have generated the observed distribution. Our resul...

Distribution and allocation of resources is affected by factors such as values, norms, social stratifications, ideology, information, coercion, political challenges, and even external factors. This finding means that there is always a fundamental tendency to redirect resources toward political goals instead of public interests and development. Because the resource structure is strongly influenc...

Water resources are a key factor for regional sustainable development. However, the published water resource data in China is based on a large geographical scale, such as watershed units, and the data cannot reflect subtle differences in water resource distribution. The paper aimed to distribute water resources of the third-order basin of China into grid-cells of 1 km × 1 km. First, we used Mor...

Natural disasters can cause huge loss of life and enormous property damage to local communities. Although it is impossible to avoid the natural disasters, human suffering can be reduced by adopting information technologies to the disaster response missions. In this paper, a Web-based 3-D visualization and cluster computing system was developed to facilitate and expedite the resource distributio...

In order to this survey, lee  & Gough & Moses & Sinelane theories and for survey of effective factors on HR, Stainer and Christopher theories have been used with ten phrases as theorical framework.Statistical ...

the importance of health indicators in the recent years has created challenges in resource allocation. balanced and fair distribution of health resources is one of the main principles in achieving equity. the goal of this cross-sectional descriptive study, conducted in 2010, was to classify health structural indicators in the fars province using the scalogram technique. health structural indica...

Techniques such as mobility and distribution are often used to overcome limitations of resources such as the amount of memory or the necessity for specialised devices. Indeed, questions related to such limitations are crucial in matters of security, compilation and quality of service. However, few attempts have been made at formalising this notion of resource limitation in presence of mobility,...
