Knowledge plays an important role in health care. The production and diffusion of health-related knowledge are increasingly under the control of private commercial interests, which are characterized by conflicts of interests that result in abuses of power. Considerable research has been done on the medical-industrial complex and its role in the production of power imbalances and the consequent ...

In this work we describe an approach of using physical design and test failure knowledge to localize defects in random logic. We term this approach computer-aided fault to defect mapping (CAFDM). An integrated tool has been developed on top of an existing commercial ATPG tool. CAFDM was able to correctly identify the defect location and layer in all 9 of the chips that had bridging faults injec...

NoSQL databases are popular in agile software development, where a frequently changing database schema imposes challenges for the production database. In this demo, we present Darwin, a middleware for systematic, tool-based support specifically designed for NoSQL database systems. Darwin carries out schema evolution and data migration tasks. To the best of our knowledge, Darwin is the first too...

Abstract Although globalization processes have brought the world closer through exchange of knowledge, ideas and practices, advances in knowledge dissemination not been mirrored by expansion sites modes production. This article probes this disjuncture asks how deglobalization might chart different pathways delving into intellectual history making International Relations (IR). Focusing its gaze ...

This research involved designing a prototype expert system that helps patients in diagnosing their diseases and offering them the proper advice; furthermore, the knowledge management used in the expert system is discussed. One of the main objectives of this research was to find a proper language for representing patient’s medical history and current situation into a knowledge base for the exper...
