Introduction: The aim of this project is to investigate the concepts of patient relationship management (PRM), patient satisfaction and their relationship. As healthcare industry has its own complexity, the so well defined idea in marketing which is CRM could not be implemented directly in health industry. Consequently the concept of PRM has been introduced. Metho...

Adaptive systems based on field programmable gate array (FPGA) architectures can greatly benefit from the high degree of flexibility offered by dynamic partial reconfiguration (DPR). By using this technique, hardware tasks can be loaded and reloaded on demand depending on the system requirements. In this paper, we propose to use the DPR for dynamic and adaptive implementation of a video cut det...

We contrast in this article the system demands imposed by brute force, complete replanning and a new, goal-directed approach called dynamic plan revision (DPR). One of the two processes must be invoked when some aspects of the environment change and currently existing plans are likely to fail. Complete replanning is conceptually simpler but requires significantly more computation because it rep...

Temporal performance parameters vary across the visual field. Their topographical distributions relative to each other and relative to basic visual performance measures and their relative change over the life span are unknown. Our goal was to characterize the topography and age-related change of temporal performance. We acquired visual field maps in 95 healthy participants (age: 10-90 years): p...

AbstractPressure relief valve is one of the most important devices used on the security of pipelines, since it is responsible to guarantee the integrity of the installations. Generally, the response and behaviour of a relief valve during its transient is unknown by users, who employ simplified and static analysis to design the pipeline, further, the information provided by manufactures is limit...

Thanks to their flexibility, FPGAs are nowadays widely used to implement digital systems’ prototypes and, more frequently, their final releases. Reconfiguration traditionally required an external controller to upload contents in the FPGA. Dynamic Partial Reconfiguration (DPR) opens new horizons in FPGAs’ applications, providing many new utilization paradigms, as it enables an FPGA to reconfigur...

Penggunaan metode prototyping di penelitian ini bertujuan agar peneliti mendapatkan gambaran aplikasi akan dibangun melal...

Textures often show multiscale properties and hence multiscale techniques are considered useful for texture analysis. Scale-space theory as a biologically motivated approach may be used to construct multiscale textures. In this paper various ways are studied to combine features on different scales for texture classification of small image patches. We use the N-jet of derivatives up to the secon...
