Background: The MODEM project (A comprehensive approach to MODelling outcome and costs impacts of interventions for DEMentia) explores how changes in arrangements for the future treatment and care of people living with dementia, and support for family and other unpaid carers, could result in better outcomes and more efficient use of resources. Methods: MODEM starts with a systematic mapping of ...

Network simulators are useful for researching protocol performance, appraising new hardware capabilities and evaluating real application scenarios. However, these tasks can only be achieved when using accurate models and real parameters that enable the extraction of trustworthy results and conclusions. This paper presents an underwater wireless sensor network ecosystem for the ns-3 simulator. T...

a pre-nineteenth-century or fabulous age, a Victorian heroic era and a modern age of triumph. Unlike Conrad who saw "geography triumphant" as cause for melancholy, the doctors perceived modem medicine as a source of celebration. Like geography too, nineteenth-century medicine was riven by arguments about where medical knowledge was to be made: was it in the ward, the museum or the laboratory? S...

ALTHOUGH the gap between socio-scientific developments and the law may not be altogether undesirable,' the recent case of Gursky v. Gurshy2 is a graphic illustration of the bizarre result which may be reached by the application of traditional legal concepts to modem developments in medicine and sociology. In Gursky a New York supreme court applied the words "out of wedlock" in a narrow sense an...

The first part of the paper introduces the varieties of modem con-structive mathematics, concentrating on Bishop's constructive mathematics(BISH). It gives a sketch of both Myhill's axiomatic system for BISH and aconstructive axiomatic development of the real line R. The second part of the pa-per focusses on the relation between constructive mathematics and programming,with ...

Digital signal processing and LSI are steadily being introduced in the field of data transmission. Still there is a noticeable discrepancy between existing design possibilities and actual practical application. The backgrounds of this contrast are briefly considered in this paper. A short survey on data modems is presented showing the wide diversification that has to be coped with. The main par...

Games consoles are becoming more versatile with the addition of hardware such as hard discs, modems and USB ports. With all these additions, they are beginning to encroach on the home computer (PC) market. The boundaries between the two groups are becoming blurred, and in the case of the Playstation2 shipping with Linux, almost inseparable. In the future, will we be programming on our Playstati...

Tax administrators face greater difficulties in enforcing tax laws and maintaining their community's legitimate revenue base when dealing with international rather than domestic transactions, particularly when dealing with a jurisdiction that combines tax haven status with bank secrecy. Increasingly, tax haven regimes with bank secrecy laws in place are accessible to almost anyone with a modem ...

The purpose of this project is to remote monitoring and control of the Domestic Energy meter. This system enables the Electricity Department to read the meter readings regularly without the person visiting each house. This can be achieved by the use of microcontroller unit that continuously monitors and records the Energy Meter readings in its permanent (non-volatile) memory location. This syst...
