development of a suitable method for color sorting of agricultural products such as: tomato, apple and orange, based on surface reflection and image formation was the goal of this research. a suitable scheme of color differentiation using an optic head and electrical processing circuitry for separating red from green and other colors is presented. a photo-conductive transducer, electrical resis...

Medical errors are unintentional acts that take place due to the negligence or lead to undesirable consequences in medical practice. The purpose of this study was to design a conceptual model for medical error reporting system. This applied descriptive cross-sectional research employed Delphi method carried out from 2012 to 2013. The study population was medical and paramedical personnel of ...

recording nursing reports is considered as a quality assurance tool for patients and nurses. nowadays, the presence of electronic health record systems is an indicator of development. studies on advantages and disadvantages of the electronic and manual recording methods have shown different results. in this study, electronic and manual recording of nursing reports were compared from the perspec...

Introduction Risk Assessment is a vital component in determining the appropriate validation and data integrity for automated systems used in supporting pharmaceutical and healthcare processes. Risk is considered in this article in terms of the impact an automated system can have on public health. The underlying assumption is that validation and data integrity controls should be established to c...

This paper designs an intelligent guidance system, based on wireless sensor networks, for efficient parking in parking lots. The proposed system consists of a parking space allocation subsystem, a parking space monitoring subsystem, a driving guidance subsystem, and a vehicle detection subsystem. In the system, we propose a novel and effective virtual coordinate system for sensing and displayin...

An new object oriented development suite for data fusion is presented. It is shown how the various issues in the data fusion development like design, implementation, simulation and testing may be supported. This allows the realisation of high sophisticated data fusion systems as applied in numerous civil and defence areas: e.g. air traffic control, coastal surveillance, vehicle guidance systems...

Organizations define business processes specifying how employees should conduct their daily work. They require their employees to conform to defined process standards in order to avoid expensive mistakes and ensure the intended process outcomes. From a research perspective, process compliance has been primarily addressed by processcentric information systems supporting the execution of business...

Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANET) is the subclass of Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs). It is the most advanced technology that provides Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) in wireless communication among vehicles to vehicles and road side equipment (RSUs) to vehicles according to IEEE 802.11p standard. VANET provides broad range of safety and non safety applications. Safety application provi...
