introduction: applying information technology in healthcare system is one of the most important criteria of the world health organization for evaluating the quality of healthcare systems of different countries. moreover, applying this technology in different parts of health care system can create great potentials for improving the quality of healthcare services. in this regard, radio frequency ...

Moveable asset management is still not appropriately supported by existing IT systems. Items are not managed individually, information about location, status and usage is not accurate or lacking. This can cause delays in industrial operations, inefficient use or excess inventory of costly assets. We propose RFID technology as the key to link the necessary data directly with the physical assets....

Food safety is a widely concerned problem in current world. Traceability technology is an effective measure to solve the problem. This paper describes the study of the traceability of grain and oil products. Include the study contents, and a system we developed for traceability of grain and oil products, and the demonstration of the study. The system we developed was used in Luhua group and som...

The Albayzin 2010 Language Recognition Evaluation (LRE), carried out from June to October 2010, was the second effort made by the Spanish/Portuguese community for benchmarking language recognition technology. As the Albayzin 2008 LRE, it was coordinated by the Software Technology Working Group of the University of the Basque Country, with the support of the Spanish Thematic Network on Speech Te...

The Albayzin 2012 Language Recognition Evaluation (Albayzin 2012 LRE) is supported by the Spanish Thematic Network on Speech Technology (RTTH) and organized by the Software Technologies Working Group (GTTS) of the University of the Basque Country, with the key collaboration of Niko Brümmer, from Agnitio Research, South Africa, for defining the evaluation criterion and coding the script used to ...

Behavioral studies have shown that observers with absolute pitch tend to perform very proficiently in a range of tone identification tasks. However, most studies focus only on response accuracy, leaving the question whether the strategies used by these observers are absolute (i.e., not based on a comparison with an internal or external reference point different from the judged note) or relative...

Linking RxNorm drugs to classes For MeSH, we extracted the PA relations from the MeSH data set and integrated them with RxNorm, in which the MeSH ingredients are already contained. There are 2,533 RxNorm ingredients with a PA relation. For ATC, we created a mapping at the ingredient level between ATC 5-level drugs and RxNorm. There are 2,441 RxNorm (salt or non-salt) ingredients (IN/PIN) with a...

Proximity to Metal Metal presents a particular challenge to RFID. Most RFID tags show reduced performance when used near metal. Generic tags placed directly on a metal surface will likely not read at all. However, advanced RFID tags are specifically designed for use on or near metal. These tags typically have a special housing incorporating a gap of controlled width between the tag’s antenna an...
