Demands for embedded real-time software in large telecommunication systems are becoming higher and higher now. Therefore, it is crucial in such systems that the software must be designed with good architectures. In order to build such architectures, it is necessary to apply appropriate real-time analysis and design methods as well as specify the system's special requirements. In this paper, we ...

As part of a large cross sectional epidemiological study of respiratory disease in coalminers, the respiratory health of miners in one colliery in south Wales has been compared with the health of nearby telecommunication (telecom) workers. The studies were carried out in 1981 and 1982. The answers to questionnaires on respiratory symptoms and results of lung spirometry indicate a much greater f...

Intention of the study was to quantitatively analyze the factors based on which telecom service providers can formulate strategy to satisfy customers to get an edge over the competitors. And we will see how Business. Process Management and Re-engineering might play the role of a weapon to Indian Telco service providers. The elements of the business processes of the Telecom domain, which affect ...

We present a fully automated process to scan the Australian Telecom Yellow Pages and produce a text document consisting only of the business entries, while removing the advertisements, graphics, and notes about the Yellow Pages. The system contains four major components: digitisation and thresholding, skew detection, segmentation (removal of unwanted parts of the image), and finally the recogni...

A fully analytical toolbox for supercontinuum generation relying on scenarios without pulse splitting is presented. Furthermore, starting from the new insights provided by this formalism about the physical nature of direct and cascaded dispersive wave emission, a unified description of this radiation in both normal and anomalous dispersion regimes is derived. Previously unidentified physics of ...

Glycoscience—the study of the complex carbohydrates on the surface of proteins and lipids—has long been the neglected stepchild of molecular biology. Although genomics, proteomics and now systems biology have become hot topics of biomedical research, attracting both researchers and funding, glycoscience has played a rather minor role. Once of little interest to understanding biology on a larger...
