Background Fibrinogen replacement is critical in major obstetric haemorrhage (MOH).Purified, pasteurized fibrinogen concentrate appears to have benefitover cryoprecipitate in ease of administration and safety but is unlicensed in pregnancy. In July 2009 the Irish Blood Transfusion Service replaced cryoprecipitate with fibrinogen.

Service-Oriented Architectures provide integration of and interoptablity for independent and loosely coupled services. Web services and the WSRF standards are frequently used to realise such Service-Oriented Architectures. In such systems, autonomic principles of self-configuration, self-optimisation, self-healing and self-adapting are desirable to ease management and improve robustness. In thi...

Cloud computing has heralded many advantages including self-service, elasticity, pay as you go, improved accessibility to computation resources, and ease of deployment and deployment automation. However, to extend those advantages to a larger audience, higher-level abstractions such as Software as a Service (SaaS) or Platform as a Service (PaaS) are needed. This paper presents Stratos, which is...

Numerous studies examined the role of processing effort in judgments using the ‘‘ease-of-processing’’ paradigm in which participants generate or retrieve few or many issue-relevant thoughts. Because earlier studies only assessed the subjective effort, it is unclear if this paradigm also mobilizes objective effort, and how such effort relates to subjective effort. These questions were addressed ...

Routing in large-scale mobile ad hoc networks is challenging because all the nodes are potentially moving. Geographic routing can partially alleviate this problem, as nodes can make local routing decisions based solely on the destinations’ geographic coordinates. However, geographic routing still requires an efficient location service, i.e., a distributed database recording the location of ever...

The number of the companies accepting RFID in Korea has been increased continuously due to the domestic development of information technology. The acceptance of RFID by companies in Korea enabled them to do business with many global enterprises in a much more efficient and effective way. According to a survey[33, p76], many companies in Korea have used RFID for inventory or distribution manages...

As the complexity dramatically increases with technological development, the ease of use of technology has been regarded as a critical factor to adpot. This study extends existing Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) proposed by Moon and Kim (2001) by introducing simplicity and perceived control. Simplicity has recently been suggested as an important concept for a successful user interface design ...
