Governments envisioning large-scale national egovernment policies increasingly draw on collaboration with private actors, yet the relationship between dynamics and outcomes of public-private partnership (PPP) is still unclear. The involvement of the banking sector in the emergence of a national electronic identification (e-ID) in Denmark is a case in point. Drawing on an analysis of primary and...

Visitors to physical museums are often overwhelmed by the vast amount of information available in the space they are exploring, making it difficult to select personally interesting content. Personalization solutions can provide the required user-centered interactivity between the visitors and the museum websites or museum guide systems. Recommender systems are among the most successful personal...

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to analyse empirical studies regarding the use of digital talking books (DAISY books) as well as the possibilities and limitations that users with print disabilities encounter when using these books. Upon fulfilment of this purpose, it is also possible to identify research needs in the area of talking books. Design/methodology/approach: An analysis of 12 em...

The PsyGrid project was established to design, build and operate a multi-centre, secure, clinical data capture system that could support clinical trials and cohort studies from any clinical domain. After two years of development and one year of operational experience we present an evaluation of the technological, operational and organisational choices we made and assess the consequences of thes...

In this study marine sponges of inter tidal zone from Hengam Island Persian Gulf were collected by wading at low tides in Eskeleh station at  locations 55˚ 53ʹ 40ʺ E & 26˚ 40ʹ 53ʺ N.For identifying identification of sponge samples, acid digestion method as a method of early detection and microtome section to identify the skeletal structure were used.All the identified sponges were from class De...

introduction many studies have shown epidemiological links between strains isolated in tap water, and those isolated from patients. molecular methods linked to pcr are more reliable and faster for identification of             non- tuberculous mycobacteria(ntm). in this study molecular methods were used for identification and typing of ntm. materials and methods five hundred ml of 85 water samp...

In recent years RFID emerged as powerful and disrupting technologies (Krotov and Junglas, 2008), which can have a major impact on enterprise business practices, changing the way business processes are designed (Lefebvre et al., 2005). It is perhaps the biggest thing to hit the IT world since the Internet (Heinrich, 2005). In fact, it has been coined as “the next big thing for management” (Wyld,...
