This list is based upon a reading list produced from its holdings by the Library and Information Service at the Stirling Dementia Services Development Centre. The Christian Council on Ageing Dementia Group has now added further material to the list which includes material on spirituality, on dementia and on the links between the two. Items are listed under types of material in chronological ord...

We describe the cursive script recognition module of a cheque processing system currently under development at the Centre for Pattern Recognition and Machine Intelligence (CENPARMI). Common systems perform recognition either on a character by character basis, or on a word level. The present study investigates the recognition at a higher level of abstraction, at the sentence level. Our computati...

On appelle segment toute partie d'un texte ~crit d~limit~e par deux espaces en blanc voisins. Admettons que nous savons ddterminer si une suite donn~e de segments forme une phrase grarmmaticalement correcte. Admettons que nous avons relev~ de quelque mani~re tousles segments appartenant aux substantifs ( = "segments substantivaux"). Admettons enfin que nous savons d~terminer si les deux segment...

Mobile crowdsensing systems employ crowd smartphones to collect data using these device-embedded sensors. The increase in the number of users and volume has limited possibility cellular networks. In this regard, collector need be able send their publishers with less delay device-to-device (D2D) communication. This paper proposes an incentive mechanism for improving transmission rate multiple mo...

Databank Systems was set up in 1967 by a consortium of New Zealand banks to share computing services. This the first instance computers being used integrate ledger accounts all trading within country, an innovation facilitated relatively small size rising use cheque facilities, and realization that joint effort would provide more efficient service enabling pooling resources achieve scale from e...

The study investigated the effect of cashless policy on economic growth in Nigeria using quarterly time series data spanning through period 2012 to 2021 while research design adopted for was ex-post facto design. Diagnostic test such as serial correlation, heteroskedasticity and Cusum were conducted. Phillip-Peron Kwiatkowski-Phillips-Schmidt-Shin (KPSS) used carry out unit root variables Auto-...

Mobile payment is defined as mobile money, which is considered as an attractive alternative for cash, cheque, or credit. In this paper we propose a new secure mobile paymentmethod. This method is summarized in three processes: firstly, the authentication process, which involves the authentication phases for the applied customers. Secondly, the member recognition process which tests and ensures ...

This paper presents an efficient method of separating words in handwritten legal amounts on bank cheques based on the spatial gaps between connected components. Currently all typical existing gap measures suffer from poor performance due to the inherent problem of underestimation and overestimation. In order to decrease such burden, a modified version for each of those existing measures is expl...

Binarization of document images with poor contrast, strong noise complex patterns and variable modalities in the gray-scale histograms is a challenging problem. In this paper we present a binarization algorithm based on image dependen t model to address this problem for the c heque processing application. The proposed algorithm seeks an optimal threshold that w ould eliminate the background noi...
