ELECTRO-OCULOGRAPHY has been established as a valuable clinical procedure for measuring indirectly the standing corneo-fundal potential, of importance in the investigation of retinal and choroidal function. Although the technique of clinical recording is not very complicated, the load of a great many records is a burden for the technical staff of an electro-diagnostic clinic. Semiautomatic reco...

Der Entwurf von Steuerungen und die Trajektorienplanung für lineare Systeme mit örtlich verteilten Parametern und konzentrierten Stelleingriffen können in gewissen Fällen auf der Basis von Potenzreihendarstellungen erfolgen. Es wird eine Methode vorgestellt, mit der diese Reihendarstellungen systematisch auch für solche partiellen Differentialgleichungen hergeleitet werden können, deren Koeffiz...

In Bangladesh, the BBC Janala project is using multimedia to give adults opportunities to learn English for economic purposes. English lessons are available on mobile phones, the web, a newspaper and a TV show. Despite the large numbers of people accessing the BBC Janala media products, there is a gendered digital divide, with much fewer women accessing the web and mobile lessons in particular....

Embedded micro processors are becoming increasingly important in medical treatments These devices are embedded in CAT scanners radiation therapy devices MRIs and are used in the control of drug production Embedded systems are becoming more sophisticated and the programs that control these system have increasing demands for precision and reliability Recently the FDA has been under increased pres...

in this research, the influence of adding micro- and nano- sized calcium carbonate powders to nylon-66 was investigated. mechanical properties of micro and nano- composites, including tensile strength, elongation, and young’s modulus, before and after ageing, were determined and analyzed. for this purpose, micro- and nano-sized caco3 particles were used as fillers to prepare micro-composites (c...

In this paper the thermal transport phenomena in MEMS are investigated. The thermal Klein-Gordon transport equation for nanoscale structures is formulated and solved.

Ground based high-contrast imaging (e.g. extrasolar giant planet detection) has demanding wavefront control requirements two orders of magnitude more precise than standard adaptive optics systems. We demonstrate that these requirements can be achieved with a 1024-Micro-Electrical-Mechanical-Systems (MEMS) deformable mirror having an actuator spacing of 340 microm and a stroke of approximately 1...

This study examines how technology-mediated work-related interruptions affect people’s personal life in terms of the level of work-life conflict they experience and their ability to fulfill the responsibilities of their personal life. Based on interruption source, we differentiate between two types of interruptions that occur in one’s personal life: other-initiated and self-initiated. Drawing o...
