This article presents the findings from classroom based research into the use of SMART Boards (interactive whiteboards) with kindergarten children. SMART Boards have been used successfully over the past 8years at Abbotsleigh Junior School innovative ways to enhance teaching and learning and facilitate assessment in primary Science. Key research findings are discussed along with some practical e...

Smart Grid has been evolved as the innovative idea globally as a solution for the power demand problems. Countries worldwide are looking for an efficient implementation of the same. A lot of research is now going on the various issues and challenges on the implementation and real time operation of the various components of Smart Grid. This paper presents a review on different challenges of elec...

Introduction: Radioisotope scanning is the best method for objective assessment of salivary gland function. Thus, it was used in a randomized trial of concomitant pilocarpine for assessment of radiation-induced xerostomia, in addition to subjective evaluation by an approved questionnaire and objective standard xerostomia grading. Methods: Patients randomized in placebo-controlled trial of...

Unfortunately, last winter, we lost one of the leaders of Radiotherpy-Oncology in Iran, Professor Mohammad Hossein Salehi. He was an excellent teacher, a supportive friend and an experienced physician.Professor Salehi was born on April 21, 1941 in Shirvan. After graduating from high school, he continued his education in Mashhad Medical School. In 1968 he completed Medical School and began the R...

We present an architecture for electronic catalogs, called Smart Catalogs and Virtual Catalogs. Smart catalogs are searchable, annotated combinations of machine-readable (i.e., minimally processable) and machine-sensible (i.e., actually understood by the computer) product data. Virtual catalogs dynamically retrieve information from multiple smart catalogs and present this product data in a unif...

Smart cities are not merely the infusion of technology into a city’s infrastructure, but also require citizens interacting with their urban environment in a smart and informed manner. Transportation is key aspect of smart cities. In this paper, we present a smart route planning open-source system; SMART-GH utilizes open data and participatory sensing, where citizens actively participate in coll...

Smart meter gateways are the core component of the advanced metering infrastructure in Germany, and provide a unified interface for metering data retrieval to third parties. Different standards and communication protocols exist for smart metering, ranging from transmission protocols to architectural recommendations. This work briefly presents the concept of the German BSI TR-03109 smart meterin...

The Internet of Things (IoT) is the widely accepted technology that connect everyday objects to the internet for providing ease and various functionalities and the Smart Grid (SG) is defined as the power grid integrated with a large network of ICT. The SG is the combination of billions of smart objects: smart appliances, smart meters, actuators and sensors etc. This paper analyse the various ac...

The smart counter can detect countertop cooking actions. We assume that all food ingredients are stored in RFID-tagged containers. Using the weight change of each container, we can inference how a user mixes food ingredients and the nutrition information of the resulting mixtures. SMART STOVE The smart stove embedded with a load cell and a RFID reader to detect the weight of containers placed o...

Smart grids are promoted to resolve challenges of electricity production and consumption. Social studies of smart grids have been undertaken that utilise practice theory to explore and gain insight on the development of smart grids with a particular focus on households. This perspective usefully describes practices in which electricity is used in households. However, reducing smart grid ecologi...
