For most healthcare information systems, passwords are the first line of defense in keeping patient and administrative records private and secure. However, this defense is only as strong as the passwords employees chose to use. A weak or easily guessed password is like an open door to the medical records room, allowing unauthorized access to sensitive information. In this paper, we present the ...

We present here a method for providing a mobile robot with learning capabi l i t ies. The method is based on a model of the environment with several hierarchical levels organized by degree of abstract i on . The mathematical structuring tool used is the decomposition of a graph into i t s k-connected components (k=2 and k=3). This structure allows the robot to improve navigation procedures and ...

The smart mobile terminal operator platform Android is getting popular all over the world with its wide variety of applications and enormous use in numerous spheres of our daily life. Considering the fact of increasing demand of home security and automation, an Android based control system is presented in this paper where the proposed system can maintain the security of home main entrance and a...

1. A back-to-back cargo movement is generally understood as the transfer of loose goods from one truck to another---in its literal form, positioning two trucks with their backs to one another. Primitive variants involve laborintensive handling and placement of cargo on the ground during the transfer. This process inflicts serious time delays and damage to cargo and is widely avoided in modern t...

background:the door-to-needle-time (dnt) is considered a standard time for scheduling thrombolysis for acute st-segment elevation of myocardial infarction and this time can be reduced by minimizing the delay in starting thrombolytic treatment once the patient has reached to the hospital. this study was carried out on a sample of iranian patients with acute myocardial infarction to determine the...

When I was street homeless, the challenge was getting to see a general practitioner. So many obstacles were in the way—no address, out of area, no proof of who I was. It was as if I needed three forms of identification and a letter from God just to get past the receptionist. Surgery doors closed in my face, and excuse after excuse was given as to why I couldn’t see the doctor. I was sent to oth...

Smoke management system is proposed for life safety in karaoke establishments. Arguments are supported by simulating different scenarios with a two-layer zone model. A typical room-corridor structure of a karaoke establishment is selected. Different ventilation arrangements are considered. With careful design such as adequate extraction rates, smoke layer in the corridor can be kept at high lev...

This paper describes a system used in acoustic event detection task of the CLEAR2007 evaluation. The objective of the task is to detect acoustic events (door slam, steps, paper wrapping etc.) using acoustic data from a multiple microphone set up in the meeting room environment. A system based on hidden Markov models and multichannel audio data was implemented. Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coe cients ...

PURPOSE This study was undertaken to explore the effects of the jaws and the MLC openings on the neutron dose equivalent (DE) at the maze door and neutron flux at the patient plane. METHODS The neutron dose equivalent was measured at the maze entrance door of a 15 MV therapy linear accelerator room. All measurements were performed using various field sizes up to 40 cm × 40 cm. Activation dete...
