Radio over Fiber is the future technology. It will take over all traditional fiber technology, as it offers quality and service up to the requirement of the users. The ROF is being implemented over traditional fiber widely as it offers replacing of optical fiber’s high range and also flexible in wireless mode. Along with the ease, optical fiber bandwidth utilization increase by this. Because fi...

an experiment was carried out to develop and evaluate a semi-purified diet suitable for fiber related studies without negative impacts on performance, serum biochemistry and intestinal morphology of growing japanese quails. total of 144 japanese quail chicks were used in a factorial arrangement using completely randomized design with 6 treatments, 4 replicates of 6 quails in each replicate. the...

In this issue featuring new technology in medicine, there should be one article reminding us of the importance of “high touch” to balance “high tech.” Marshall McLuhan offered a metaphor to describe the pace of change that disturbs our equilibrium. “The entire world, past and present, now reveals itself to us like a growing plant in an enormously accelerated movie.” We must attend to the way ne...

We present a new modelling framework for dialogue management based on the concept of probabilistic rules. Probabilistic rules are defined as structured mappings between logical conditions and probabilistic effects. They function as high-level templates for probabilistic graphical models and may include unknown parameters whose values are estimated from data using Bayesian inference. Thanks to t...

Third-order, high-Q, micromechanical bandpass filters comprised of three ratioed folded-beam resonators coupled by flexural mode springs are demonstrated using an integrated circuit compatible, doped polycrystalline silicon surfacemicromachining technology. A complete design procedure for multiresonator micromechanical filters is presented and solidified via an example design. The use of quarte...

The enrichment of the intergalactic medium (IGM) with heavy elements provides us with a record of past star formation and with an opportunity to study the interactions between galaxies and their environments. We summarize current data analysis methods and observational constraints on abundances in the diffuse, high-redshift (z > 2) IGM. This review is targeted at interested outsiders and attemp...

This paper presents a framework for building an ontology to provide semantic interpretations in image contents. The novelty of this framework comes from building a MPEG-7 ontology for semantic representations of multimedia contents, and from integrating such ontology into an image retrieval system to enable fast, efficient image query and retrieval. The prototype system demonstrated the feasibi...

This exploratory research compares how high technology firms use performance management strategies to gain a competitive advantage and, at the same time, investigates the role of human capital. The eight high technology firms selected for study are located in the Okanagan Valley region of British Columbia, Canada and each was pre-qualified as a small or medium-sized enterprise – two with 10 to ...
