We present a microfluidic device, which enables single cells to be reliably trapped and cultivated while simultaneously being monitored by means of multifrequency electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in the frequency range of 10 kHz-10 MHz. Polystyrene beads were employed to characterize the EIS performance inside the microfluidic device. The results demonstrate that EIS yields a low coeffic...

This study investigates factors underlying the exchange rhythm in Singapore English using six cross-dialectal interviews from the NIECSSE corpus. Exchange intervals (EIs), defined as the latency interval between the onsets of an exchange pair, were measured and two exchange types, question-answer and confirmation, were identified and labeled using Praat. Results showed that EIs in Singapore Eng...

Executive Information Systems (EIS) grew out of the information needs of executives and are designed to serve the needs of users in strategic planning and decision-making. EIS are high risk information technology (IT) implementation projects. With the emergence of global information technologies, existing paradigms are being altered which are spawning new considerations for IT implementation. W...

In this paper we study Business rules management system (BRMS) approach in Enterprise information systems (EIS) development. The approach is closely connected with Enterprise decision management (EDM) concept and usage of EIS in business and world economy. The paper has survey nature and gives retrospective analysis of today’s marketing situation in EIS and BRMS industry. Highlight examples of ...

This paper reviews the conventional studies of Executive Information Systems (EIS) and related research areas. It is found that conventional EIS studies contribute little insights to the success development and adoption on EIS. Notably, there is a need for revitalising EIS design and development. A focus group study is conducted to explore and identify challenges faced by current managers’ info...

In executive information systems (EIS) design, where idiosyncratic users must often be considered, understanding users and their preferences is important. Since user interfaces are a highly visible EIS component, they are an important lever for their acceptance. To accommodate executives' growing range of user preferences, this article develops building blocks for the user-interface to make "up...

Amongst adults, low emotion identification skill (EIS) relates to poor emotion regulation strategies, higher rates of anxiety and depression, and higher rates of somatic illness and disease [Taylor, G. J., & Bagby, R. M. (2004). New trends in alexithymia research. Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics, 73, 68-77]. Little research has examined EIS in adolescence and, in particular, the longitudinal i...

A 68-year-old man with hemophilia A and liver cirrhosis caused by hepatitis C virus was referred to our hospital to receive prophylactic endoscopic treatment for gastroesophageal varices (GOV). He had large, tense, and winding esophageal varices (EV) with cherry red spots extending down to lesser curve, predicting the likelihood of bleeding. Esophageal endoscopic injection sclerotherapy (EIS) w...

This paper examines EIS development in Thailand. Thailand is a newly industrialised country, typical of other developing countries. First, the paper discusses the nature of the Thai economic and political systems. Four case studies are explored to examine how EIS are developed and to explore the influence of the economic and political environment on EIS development. Only one of the four systems...

The excitation-induced stability (EIS) phenomenon in a harmonically excited bistable Duffing oscillator is studied in this paper. Criteria to predict system and excitation conditions necessary to maintain EIS are derived through a combination of the method of harmonic balance, perturbation theory, and stability theory for Mathieu’s equation. Accuracy of the criteria is verified by analytical an...
