Background: Personal Information Management (PIM) refers to the tools and activities to save and retrieve personal information for future uses. This study examined the PIM activities of faculty members of Iran University of Medical Sciences (IUMS) regarding their preferred PIM tools and four aspects of acquiring, organizing, storing and retrieving personal information.   Methods : The qualita...

An approach for organizing the information in the data warehouses is presented in the paper. The possibilities of the numbered information spaces for building data warehouses are discussed. An application is outlined in the paper.

Bioinformatics has recently drawn a lot of attention to efficiently analyze biological genomic information with information technology, especially pattern recognition. In this paper, we attempt to explore extensive features and classifiers through a comparative study of the most promising feature selection methods and machine learning classifiers. The gene information from a patient’s marrow ex...

Organizing Lobar Pneumonia is a rare form of Bronchiolitis Obliterans Organizing Pneumonia.  Herein, we report a rare case of organizing pneumonia involving lung, mediastinum and esophagus.  A 16-year-old girl was referred to our center with clinical signs and symptoms of dysphagia and weight loss.  The main abnormal radiologic and endoscopic findings were stricture of the lower third of esopha...

Bodies of information available through the Internet, such as digital libraries and distributed file-sharing systems, often form a self-organizing networked information space, i.e. a collection of interconnected information entities generated incrementally over time by a large number of agents. The collection of electronically available research papers in Computer Science, linked by their citat...

We demonstrate an information credibility analysis system called WISDOM. The purpose of WISDOM is to evaluate the credibility of information available on the Web from multiple viewpoints. WISDOM considers the following to be the source of information credibility: information contents, information senders, and information appearances. We aim at analyzing and organizing these measures on the basi...

In this paper, we discuss clustering and authoring of video shots based on a hybrid self-organizing system which uses both of video-content information and meta-data (description data) as input for Kohonen's Self-Organizing Map. Conventional contents-based methods for video shots have limitations when considering the accuracy of classi cation. We propose to improve its accuracy by generating ch...

In this chapter we discuss the role of context in organizing episodic memories. We define context as slowly drifting information (i.e. information that persists over a relatively long time scale in the person's brain; for example, a representation of the person's location). First, we use the Temporal Context Model of memory search (Howard & Kahana, 2002) to illustrate how binding slowly-driftin...
