In this paper we discuss the shortcomings of existing approaches to the administration of physical access control in complex environments. At the heart of the problem is the current dependency o...

High performance computing requires fast networks to move large amounts of data between compute nodes and disk storage. For a variety of reasons, however, the fast speeds achieved by bleeding edge network technology tend to come along with a higher risk of system failure. When designing and building high end computing systems using the fastest available network equipment, a good relationship wi...

This study examines the effects of professional certifications such as JCAHO on healthcare information technology (HIT) usage in healthcare organizations and user satisfaction with such usage. Using survey data collected from healthcare administrators in a nation-wide sample of 347 hospitals and long-term care facilities, we provide evidence that professional certifications do indeed enhance HI...

Existing studies have demonstrated that women access emergency contraception from commercial pharmacies rather than from public health facilities at no charge. Research has also demonstrated that awareness of emergency contraception is a key barrier to improving uptake, especially in ...
