The primary focus of this article is the investigation of how current applied linguistic research into the nature of call centre communication breakdown in business processing outsourcing (BPO) sites such as India and the Philippines, can impact English communications training program content and design for this industry. It is argued that a researchbased approach to English for specific purpos...

ESP is an active safety system for road vehicles to control the dynamic vehicle motion in emergency, the composition and working principle of ESP were introduced in the paper, and the control technology of ESP was studied too. A virtual prototype model of a vehicle model was built in ADAMS/Car, and the yaw fuzzy control co-simulation model of vehicle was established in Matlab/Simulink, to study...

PREFACE Health Services Research & Development Service's (HSR&D) Evidence-based Synthesis Program (ESP) was established to provide timely and accurate syntheses of targeted healthcare topics of particular importance to Veterans Affairs (VA) managers and policymakers, as they work to improve the health and healthcare of Veterans. The ESP disseminates these reports throughout the VA. HSR&D provid...

BACKGROUND To provide evidence synthesis for faster-paced healthcare decision-making, rapid reviews have emerged as a streamlined alternative to standard systematic reviews. In 2012, the Veterans Affairs Evidence-based Synthesis Program (VA ESP) added rapid reviews to support Veterans Health Administration (VHA) operational partners' more urgent decision-making needs. VHA operational partners p...

one of the human-computation techniques is games with a purpose (GWAP) and microtask crowdsourcing. These techniques can help in making the image retrieval (IR) be more accurate and helpful. It provides the IR system’s database with a rich of information by adding more descriptions and annotations to images. One of the systems of human-computation is ESP Game. ESP Game is a type of games with a...

introduction: hospitals like other organizations need to be evaluated continuously. this is of vital importance due to the critical role of the hospitals in the society. this study aimed to determine and compare the evaluation scores of hospitals affliated with tums with their performance. methods and materials: it is a cross - sectional study which was performed in 27 public and private hospit...

ESP can help the road vehicle to improve driving dynamics and prevent accidents which result from loss of control. Based on the theory and account method of Multi-body System Dynamics, the Multi-body System Dynamics model of an A-class car is built by the ADAMS/Car software, which includes steering system, front and rear suspension, braking system, body, and so on. In order to study the handlin...

For debugging PowerPC-based hardware systems, there is a tool named the Engineering Support Processor (ESP) that accesses and controls the chip via the JTAG interface. With the ESP, a user can debug a target system by starting and stopping it, accessing registers and memory, and so on. However, with ESP alone, it is di cult to symbolically debug programs written in high-level languages such as ...

. This report summarizes results of a project to character& air toxic emissions of selected hazardous air pollutants (HAPS) from the AirPol Gas Suspension Absorption SO2 control technology. This project was sponsored by AirPol Inc., the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). The GSA process utilizes a semi-dry lime scrubber for SO2 and HCI removal. Most of th...
