There have been many attempts to create longitudinally-integrated, nation-wide electronic patient record systems ever since information technology has infiltrated the medical profession. This paper compares two recent attempts – a legislative attempt in the Universal Health Identifier (UHID) mandated by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and a technical attempt unde...

Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) silence transposons and maintain genome integrity during germline development. In Drosophila, transposon-rich heterochromatic clusters encode piRNAs either on both genomic strands (dual-strand clusters) or predominantly one genomic strand (uni-strand clusters). Primary piRNAs derived from these clusters are proposed to drive a ping-pong amplification cycle catalyz...

This technical report describes the construction of an inexpensive Ethernet Bridge built from an obsolete Pentium PC (IBM PC 300GL Pentium 166MMX ) and Ethernet cards. The report outlines a simple procedure for estimating the latency of the bridge. Results are presented for the timestamping accuracy of the bridge, the average latency and FreeBSD ping characteristics. The bridge can be used as a...

This paper addresses forest height estimation for boreal forests at the test site of Edson in Alberta, Canada, using dual-baseline PolInSAR dataset measured by Intermap’s single-pass system. particular is acquired both ping-pong and non-ping-pong modes, which permit forming a TomoSAR configuration, i.e., an extreme configuration tomographic processing. A approach, based on polarimetric Capon MU...

The purpose of this paper design makes use of integration of PLC controller and speech via a touch screen for personalized balls adjustment of sports equipments. The athletes may adjust their requirement according to their physical condition. The system applies speech recognition Onto Ping-Pong pitching machine and controls the users’ command of speedy, slow, left or right. The athletes can pra...
