The critical period for intervention is estimated to be five-years and many specialised programs target early psychosis. Aim/question: This prospective cohort...

[Measure Twice, Cut Once—Metrics For Online Retailers, 2006, (http://www.techexchange.com/ thelibrary/online_retail_metrics.html)] that once a client made an initial purchase, the buy-to-visit ratio of the client escalates from less than 1% to nearly 21%, the proposed mechanism keeps track of the purchase records of clients and utilizes them to make admission control decisions. We build two has...

Distributed virtual environments (DVEs) are distributed systems that allow multiple geographically distributed clients (users) to interact simultaneously in a computer-generated, shared virtual world. Applications of DVEs can be seen in many areas nowadays, such as online games, military simulations, collaborative designs, etc. To support large-scale DVEs with real-time interactions among thous...

Proportional-share resource management is becoming increasingly important in today’s computing environments. In particular, the growing use of the computational resources of central service providers argues for a proportional-share approach that allows clients to obtain resource shares that reflect their relative importance. In such environments, clients must be isolated from one another to pre...

AIM This paper is a report of a study of psychiatric nurses' responses to clients who were sexualizing the nurse-client encounter. BACKGROUND Studies involving general nurses have reported incidents of 'unwanted sexual attention/behaviour' from clients. These behaviours have been identified, in the literature, as a form of sexual aggression and sexual harassment. Reported responses have inclu...

Using outcome data on a continual basis to monitor treatment progress has been identified as a way to enhance psychotherapy outcome. The purpose of this study was to investigate the use of a continuous feedback assessment system, the Partners for Change Outcome Management System (PCOMS; Miller & Duncan, 2004). Findings from 2 client samples that attended individual therapy at a university couns...

With the increasing use of multiple electronic devices including tablets, PCs, and mobile devices, Personal Cloud Storage (PCS) services, such as Dropbox and Box, have gained huge popularity. Recent research has used the PC clients of a few PCS services to study the network architectures and performance of these services. The mobile clients deserve a further study because the study of PC client...

Reproductive medical tourism is by some accounts a multibillion dollar industry globally. The seeking by clients in high income nations of surrogate mothers in low income nations, particularly India, presents a set of largely unexamined ethical challenges. In this paper, eight such challenges are elucidated to spur discussion and eventual policy development towards protecting the rights and hea...

It is generally said that disabled persons do not have proper access to justice and are treated equally before the law. In Indonesia, human rights approach has been incorporated into developing laws policies for persons. However, people still face legal difficulties. This article aims discuss capacity of a deaf person perform action making deed notary in Indonesia from perspectives rights, cont...

We propose new authentication protocols to support fast handover in IEEE 802.11-based wireless mesh networks. The authentication server does not need to be involved in the handover authentication process. Instead, mesh access points directly authenticate mobile clients using tickets, avoiding multi-hop wireless communications in order to minimize the authentication delay. Numerical analysis and...
