The application of Microsoft Excel Solver routines to analyze data from a thermal probe placed in a number of samples is described. The successful application of the Solver routine to the thermal probe temperature time data requires the selection of an appropriate time interval. The various critical times are discussed and a method is proposed for selecting the appropriate Solver routine and th...

Forty years ago Dijkstra introduced the current conventional execution of routines. It places activation frames onto a stack. Each frame is the internal state of an executing routine. The resulting application execution is not easily helped by an external system. This presentation proposes an alternative execution of routines. It places task frames onto the stack. A task frame is the call of a ...

Fifty-three physiotherapists working at professional soccer clubs responded to a postal questionnaire on the treatment of sprained ankles. Elevation, the application of ice and compression bandaging were commonly recommended for the first 24-48 hours followed by early mobilisation. A variety of other physiotherapy techniques were used and non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs commonly dispensed...

A technique for determining the characteristics of impulses from implanted cardiac pacemakers with external methods is reviewed, and its value in detecting pacemaker failures is discussed. The resultsfrom a 2-year application with 6ii controls in clinical routine are presented. Sixteen out of b*42 defective pacemakers could be detected before symptoms or electrocardiographic signs of pacing fai...

The application of immunohistology to the spectrum of plasma cell disorders has yet to be incorporated widely into routine haematology practice. This technique enables the direct visualisation of specific surface and cytoplasmic antigens in the context of the individual cell and the surrounding anatomical neighbourhood. This review outlines the role of bone marrow immunohistology in the laborat...

Technological development and various information services becoming common has had the effect that data from everyday situations is available. Utilizing this technology and the data it produces in an efficient manner is called context-aware or ubiquitous computing. The research includes the specifications of each application, the requirements of the communication systems, issues of privacy, and...
