Zaidat, MD, MS The approval of IV tissue plasminogen activator (IV tPA),1 the first stroke revascularization therapy, limiting ischemia in progress, led to the establishment of criteria to define primary stroke centers (PSCs),2 capable of delivering this treatment. Corollary to PSC designation...

Distribution channel management not only consists of choosing distribution channels. In fact, probably the most difficult phase of the distribution management starts after this choice. Determining an appropriate organization strategy for distribution channel management is like a problem of concern to marketing practitioners and academics as well in this phase. In this study, the organization st...

Web development is currently driven by model-view-controller (MVC) frameworks. How has content management adapted to this scenario? This paper reviews content management features in Ruby on Rails framework and its most popular plug-ins. These features are distributed among the different layers of the MVC architecture.

Photovoltaic (PV) energy, together with other renewable energy sources, has been undergoing a rapid development in recent years. Integration of intermittent energy sources as PV or wind power is challenging in terms of power system management in large scale systems as well as in small grids. Indeed, PV energy is a variable resource that is difficult to predict due to meteorological uncertainty....

The large volume of web content needs to be annotated by ontologies (called Semantic Annotation), and our empirical study shows that strong dependencies exist across different types of information (it means that identification of one kind of information can be used for identifying the other kind of information). Conditional Random Fields (CRFs) are the state-of-the-art approaches for modeling t...

From the computational point of view, Content-based Image Retrieval systems are potentially expensive and have user response times growing with the ever-increasing sizes of the databases associated to them. This paper presents a grid implementation of a Content-based Image Retrieval system that offers a good cost/performance ratio to solve this problem due to their excellent flexibility, scalab...
