transfer of patients from the cardiac intensive care unit to the general ward, is one of the main reasons for anxiety. given that the transfer anxiety may be due to receive at least, inconsistent or do not receive enough information before the patients leaving the intensive care unit, therefore, this study aimed to determine the effect of information provision on anxiety levels in patients tran...

In this demo we present LDP4ROs, a prototype implementation that allows creating, browsing and updating Research Objects (ROs) and their contents using typical HTTP operations. This is achieved by aligning the RO model with the W3C Linked Data Platform (LDP).

The Linked Data Platform (LDP) 1.0 is the W3C Recommendation for exposing linked data in a RESTful manner. Current solutions for LDP exist but provide no support for deploying data from external sources in LDPs. In this paper, we address this issue by providing a generic LDP resource generator which can automatize data deployment both from RDF and heterogeneous sources into LDP repositories. We...

the aim of this research was to understand the dynamisms relating to knowledge transfer processes and practices, which exist within a business community in edinburgh scotland. the methodology used within this study was a uniquedesign methodology to include 20 in-depth interviews with participants from four local organizations. the sample group consisted of males aged between 20 and 70. the samp...

Recently a number of application-layer multicast (ALM) protocols have been proposed as a promising alternative to deploying multicast services in the unicast-only Internet. Current ALM protocols work very well for low data-rate applications but can suffer from link-level load imbalance, and consequently link congestions, when applied to high data-rate applications. This work addresses this prob...

Creating effective transfer functions for high dynamic range scalar volume data is a challenging task. For data sets with limited information about their content, deriving transfer functions using mathematical properties (gradient, curvature, etc.) is a difficult trial and error process. Traditional methods use linear binning to map data to integer space for creating the transfer functions. In ...

Data hiding technique aims to embed a little secret information into a carrier signal by changing. The insignificant accessories for copyright protection or covert communication. Commonly circumstances, the data-hiding operation will influence in distortion signal. However, such distortion, unacceptable to a few purposes, e.G., army or scientific pix. On this case it's vital to embed the furthe...

basic understanding of the process of coolant heat transfer inside an engine is an indispensable prerequisite to devise an infallible cooling strategy. coolant flow and its heat transfer affect the cooling efficiency, thermal load of heated components, and thermal efficiency of a diesel engine. an efficient approach to studying cooling system for diesel engine is a 3d computational fluid dynami...
