The Electronic Patient Record (EPR) or "computer-based medical record" is defined by the Patient Record Institute as "a repository for patient information with one health-care enterprise that is supported by digital computer input and integrated with other information sources." The information technology revolution coupled with everyday use of computers in clinical dentistry has created new dem...

This article presents a study that compares detected structural communities in a coauthorship network to the socioacademic characteristics of the scholars that compose the network. The coauthorship network was created from the bibliographic record of an overt interdisciplinary research group focused on sensor networks and wireless communication. The popular leading eigenvector community detecti...

This article presents a study that compares detected structural communities in a coauthorship network to the socioacademic characteristics of the scholars that compose the network. The coauthorship network was created from the bibliographic record of a multi-institution, interdisciplinary research group focused on the study of sensor networks and wireless communication. Four different community...

Cloud computing refers to computing with a focus of virtualized computer networks or resources and application services by improving the utilization of data centre and data resources. In the existing system, it has been analyzed that the risks and availability of student’s academic records and information are very likely to be centralized, static in nature and one time use only. The proposed sy...

The Academic Computer Systems Department of the Autonomous University of Baja California Sur has been implemented as one of the strategies to reduce dropout and failure rates, measure and analyze the academic performance of each of the students during the courses, to identify factors that may influence academic performance. This requires having a tool that facilitates the teaching record each s...

The healthcare system has an inconsistent record of ensuring patient safety. One of the main factors contributing to this poor record is inadequate interdisciplinary team behavior. This article describes in situ simulation and its 4 components--briefing, simulation, debriefing, and follow-up-as an effective interdisciplinary team training strategy to improve perinatal safety. The purpose of thi...

The ‘blockchain’ is the core mechanism for the Bitcoin digital payment system. It embraces a set of inter-related technologies: the blockchain itself as a distributed record of digital events, the distributed consensus method to agree whether a new block is legitimate, automated smart contracts, and the data structure associated with each block. We propose a permanent distributed record of inte...

Bianca Schroeder (University of Toronto) opened this year’s USENIX Conference on File and Storage Technologies (FAST ’14) by telling us that we represented a record number of attendees for FAST. Additionally, 133 papers were submitted, with 24 accepted. That’s also near the record number of submissions, 137, which was set in 2012. The acceptance rate was 18%, with 12 academic, three industry, a...
