Small scale digital device forensics is particularly critical as a result of the mobility of these devices, leading to closer proximity to crimes as they occur when compared to computers. The Windows Surface tablet is one such device, combining tablet mobility with familiar Microsoft Windows productivity tools. This research considers the acquisition and forensic analysis of the Windows Surface...

ly, and then bound to a concrete network protocol and message format. A client (program) connecting to a web service can read the WSDL to determine what functions are available on the server. Any special datatypes used are embedded Figure 1. SOAP message structure.

Engineering educators teaching digital signal processing (DSP) have found that using hands-on exercises for students can smooth the transition from theory to practical real-time DSP. However, before significant learning can begin using such exercises, students must build their confidence in the hardware and software platforms. When using audio signals, a “talk-through” project accomplishes this...

With model-driven development being on the verge of becoming an industrial standard, the need for systematic development strategies based on safe model transformations is a demand. Transformations must take into account changes in both behavioural and structural diagrams. In this paper, we present a set of transformation laws that aims to systematise the evolution of semantically well-defined U...

BACKGROUND SNOMED RT represents a fundamental change from prior versions of SNOMED. The logic-based structure of SNOMED RT enables concepts to be defined more explicitly, providing an opportunity to address inconsistencies and ambiguities present in prior SNOMED concept definitions. OBJECTIVES Create a unifying organizational strategy for all SNOMED RT procedures, and remove ambiguities in pr...

Something I notice often in supervising new graduate students is their frustration with the irreproducibility of their biological data. For example, I am asked frequently ‘‘how many biological replicates do I need for qRT-PCR’’? The answer, of course, lies first with the students themselves. They need as many replicates as will persuade them of the validity of their observations. However, for m...
