Today, many teachware management and e-learning systems are still based on the ordinary file-system. This stands in conflict with typical requirements found in teachware applications: multiple views on and adaptivity of the course material, support of reuse, low redundancy. In this paper, we present a fragmentation-based generic approach to the loss-less storage of XML teachware documents which...

This paper presents a comprehensive solution to build a distributed system of medical devices in high acuity environments. It is based on the concept of a Service Oriented Medical Device Architecture. It uses the Devices Profile for Web Services as a transport layer protocol and enhances it to the Medical Devices Profile for Web Service (MDPWS) to meet medical requirements. By applying the ISO/...

Recommendation of scientific papers is a task aimed to support researchers in accessing relevant articles from a large pool of unseen articles. When writing a paper, a researcher focuses on the topics related to her/his scientific domain, by using a technical language. The core idea of this paper is to exploit the topics related to the researchers scientific production (authored articles) to fo...

The effect of a targeted agent on a cancer patient's clinical outcome putatively is mediated through the agent's effect on one or more early biological events. This is motivated by pre-clinical experiments with cells or animals that identify such events, represented by binary or quantitative biomarkers. When evaluating targeted agents in humans, central questions are whether the distribution of...

this paper has revised the combined model of chan & qi with supply chain operations reference (scor) .this combined model with hierarchical structure, has three levels and seven criteria that some criteria are quantitative (cost, use of source) and others of them are qualitative (quality, flexibility, tangible, validity and innovation). in order to improvement of this model, this paper has comb...

In this article, the impact of input pump profile on the gain spectrum as well as the saturation behavior of one-pump fiber optical parametric amplifiers (FOPAs) is investigated. Since in practical circumstances, pump sources used for FOPAs have Lorentz-Gaussian profile instead of Gaussian, a more realistic case is considered for simulating FOPAs in this article. The results of simulations for ...

abstract background: a computer aided diagnosis system was established using the wavelet transform and neural network to differentiate malignant from benign in a   group of patients with histo-pathologically proved breast lesions based on the data derived independ­ently from time-intensity profile.   materials and methods: the per­formance of the artificial neural network (ann) was evaluated us...

Short term load forecasting (STLF) plays an important role in the economic and reliable operation ofpower systems. Electric load demand has a complex profile with many multivariable and nonlineardependencies. In this study, recurrent neural network (RNN) architecture is presented for STLF. Theproposed model is capable of forecasting next 24-hour load profile. The main feature in this networkis ...

In this paper, we present the Ravenscar-Java profile from the perspective of memory utilization. This restricted programming model removes language features with high overheads and complex semantics, on which it is hard to perform various static analyses. Several classes in the RTSJ are refined, and a few new classes are added, which all result in a compact, yet powerful and predictable computa...

Cell size distribution is highly reproducible, whereas the size of individual cells often varies greatly within a tissue. This is obvious in a population of Arabidopsis thaliana leaf epidermal cells, which ranged from 1,000 to 10,000 μm2 in size. Endoreduplication is a specialized cell cycle in which nuclear genome size (ploidy) is doubled in the absence of cell division. Although epidermal cel...
