background and objectives: active presence of hospitals on the internet is becoming a hallmark of hospitals’ commitment to quality healthcare services delivery. for insightful planning towards a strong internet-based information delivery and communication, there is a need for continuous monitoring of hospital website’s status. built on this need, this paper provides, for the first time, a ranki...

1. Changed the STC classification rules to use a default of STCLO instead of SYSSTC by using the SPM rules. 2. Added a new service class, NEWWORKV, for new work that requires a velocity goal instead of a response goal. Changed some new workloads to use NEWWORKV instead of NEWWORK. 3. Updated the description of CICS and IMS subsystems to recommend using response time goals initially. 4. Assigned...

An effective way to teach facts to students is to test them as they study (Roediger & Karpicke, 2006). The answers students provide, as well as their response latencies, constitute feedback that an intelligent tutoring system (ITS) can use to determine how well they have learned study material. This capability enables an ITS to appropriately allocate a student’s future study time to facts whose...

Order management might incur substantially challenging tasks for Engineer to Order (ETO) type manufacturing companies. A significant number of engineering changes and variations during the order management process constantly occur. These changes lead to modifications in product, design and engineering, and material management phases and ETO companies must react on these changes appropriately. E...

Models of spatial reasoning often assume distinct visual and spatial representations. In particular, the visual impedance effect – slower response time when more visual details are represented in three-term series spatial reasoning tasks – has been taken as evidence for the distinctive roles of visual and spatial representations. In this paper, we show that a memory model of spreading activatio...

Highly immersive environments for sports simulation can help elucidate if and how athletes perform under high pressure situations. We used a rowing simulator with a CAVE setup to test the influence of virtual competitors on 10 experienced rowers. All participants were using the simulator for the first time. The objective was to assess the degree of presence by quantifying how the actions of the...

Intermediation in Innovation1 by Heidrun C. Hoppe2 and Emre Ozdenoren3 The paper offers a new theoretical framework to examine the role of intermediaries between creators and potential users of new inventions. Using a model of universityindustry technology transfer, we demonstrate that technology transfer offices can provide an opportunity to economize on a critical component of efficient innov...
