Multiple sclerosis (MS) and migraine are two common neurological disorders affecting women more than men. Sleep quality impairment has been reported in both diseases. The goal of this study was to compare sleep quality and depression between women with MS and migraine. Seventy women with migraine and 75 women with MS were enrolled in this study. Participants were asked to fill-out valid and rel...

Large grocery stores are nowadays used by millions of people for the acquisition of an enlarging number of products. Product acquisition represents a complex process that comprises time spent in corridors, product location and checkout queues. On the other hand, it is becoming increasingly difficult for retailers to keep their clients loyal and to predict their needs due to the influence of com...

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) facilitates automatic identification of items using radio-waves. This technology albeit initially introduced in the 1940s and 1950s, has seen a drastic increase in the number of applications and implementations in the recent years. This work aims to review some of the current developments in this field and to develop a taxonomic framework to classify litera...

childhood hepatitis b virus (hbv) infection causes both medical and public health challenges. infants who acquire hbv parentally have up to 90% risk of developing chronic hbv infection. it is now estimated that approximately 10% of worldwide cancers are attributable to viral infection, with the vast majority (>85 %) occurring in the developing world. in this distribution, elevated rate and prev...

Data capture technologies such as RFID promise customer centric global service supply chains, but simultaneously threaten data overload. We argue that novel approaches to information management are required to successfully manage the data from sensor-based data capture technologies and to integrate them into successful inter-organizational service supply networks. We question the degree to whic...

This paper presents a Scenario-Based Adaptive Service Framework, where we can provide more adaptive service scenarios among highly correlated business applications. Individual services are seamlessly integrated into a framework by registering scripts, written in XML infrastructure language, called the XLogic, to the middleware platform, the XCREAM (XLogic Collaborative RFID/USN-enabled Adaptive...

The impact of the use of RFID on supply chain operations has been explored in several investigations. One of the main benefits of RFID that is identified by these studies is its ability to improve visibility in supply chains by enabling a better synchronization between the physical flow of goods and the information flow representing it. In this work, our focus is steered on data record inaccura...
