Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) represent an important component necessary to develop Intelligent Transportation Systems. Recent advances in communications systems have created significant opportunities for a wide variety of applications and services to be implement in vehicles. Most of these applications require a certain dissemination performance to work satisfactorily. Although a variety ...

Streptococcal adhesion, invasion, intracellular trafficking, dissemination and persistence in eukaryotic cells have a variety of implications in the infection pathogenesis. While cell adhesion establishes the initial host contact, adhering bacteria exploit the host cell for their own benefit. Internalisation into the host cell is an essential step for bacterial survival and subsequent dissemina...

A 20-year-old male patient was admitted to our clinic with a 1-year history of headache. The patient's systemic-neurological examination and laboratory findings were normal. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging were performed. Imaging findings showed calcified intraventricular mass and subependymal and gyral nodular lesions. There was a slight increase in ventricular volume. Surgi...

This paper presents the results of a heuristic-based user interface evaluation of the Gateway to Electronic Media Services (GEMS) system at Nanyang Technological University(NTU) in Singapore. GEMS provides access to multimedia resources, bibliographic information, electronic document management, selective dissemination of information (SDI), booking of facilities, and several other services. Res...

Automatic data dissemination systems are becoming increasingly relevant in internet-based information systems. In such systems, users subscribe to the dissemination service by providing interest profiles. These profiles are then used to determine which information should be delivered to which users, whenever new information is entered into the system. A main shortcoming of existing disseminatio...

The primary objective of document annotation in whatever form, manual or electronic is to allow those who may not have control to original document to provide personal view on information source. Beyond providing personal assessment to original information sources, we are looking at a situation where annotation made can be used as additional source of information for document tracking and recom...
