Over time much has been written on how to organize a course on software engineering, with arguments flowing for and against additional complexity. It is highly believe that SWE is an umbrella course in computing and most dangerously in any course proclaimed to be specialist in generating Software Engineers. Unfortunately, this may still not be widely recognized, both in the industry and in academia...
Summary form only given.The chair of Methodology and Techniques of the Archaeological Research at the faculty of Scienze Umanistiche of Sapienza Universitd di Roma is working since 1986 at the valley of the Coliseum, in the centre of the ancient Rome. Here with the excavations of the Metas Sudans and the North East slopes of the Palatine hill, a huge number of data and of different kind has been collected...
Summary form only given. Telemedicine commenced in Tunisia in 1996 by some local and international experiences .The same year, the ministry of public health (MoPH) took the decision to include telemedicine in its strategic informatics project and to create the National Telemedicine Committee where are represented all concerned departments. Presently, the national network consists of 21 public telemedicine...
Goldschmidt (2005) defined the hospital information system as "The application of information processing involving both computer hardware and software that deals with the storage, retrieval, sharing, and use of health care information, data, and knowledge for communication and decision making". This definition includes such applications as: electronic health record, electronic billing, electronic...
Web service technology is playing a major role in today's distributed system computing, service discovery, i.e., the identification of existing WSs that can be used by new Web applications, is one of the most critical problems deterring Web service (WS) technology, current solution is based on UDDI catalogue browsing support only primitive matching mechanisms and provide no control over the quality...
This communication presents an analysis of the design and fabrication of power-efficient, low cost VCSEL-based optical transceiver proposed for emerging fiber data distributed interface (FDDI) and fiber channel local-area network (FCLAN's). This transceiver has been designed to meet the increasing amount of information transmitted through communication networks. VCSEL devices operating at low temperature...
It is well known that speech production and perception process is inherently bimodal consisting of audio and visual components. Recently there has been increased interest in using the visual modality in combination with the acoustic modality for improved speech processing. This field of study has gained the title of audio-visual speech processing. Lip movement recognition, also known as lip reading,...
The bioimpedance method used in this study consists of application of rectangular electrical current (30 Khz, 1 mA), which is harmless to the patient, by means of two electrodes placed respectively in the front and above the leading edge of the heart. Two electrodes, placed on the chest of the patient at the level of aorta 2 or 3 cm apart, permit perception of bioimpedance signal (BS) representing...
This paper describes the research to reduce high false positive discovery rates when discovering possible molecular diagnostic patterns. This effort combines information from the gene ontology with multiple sets of discriminating patterns discovered in a publicly available gene expression dataset on breast cancer. Using a second validation dataset, we identify candidate patterns with good and poor...
The Arab Telemedicine Society (ATS) has been founded under the umbrella of the Arab Medical Union in October 1999 after the recommendations of the First International Telemedicine Symposium for the Arab World Africa and Europe held in Tunis,Tunisia one year earlier.. Founding members were representatives of 6 arab countries (Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Morocco and Tunisia. Its goal is to promote...
In this paper, a new method is introduced to frequency domain analyze arbitrary nonuniform transmission lines (NTLs). The NTLs are subdivided into several short linear sections instead of uniform ones. The chain parameter matrix of linear sections is obtained by expressing the voltages and currents by power series expansion. This method is applicable to all arbitrary NTLs. The accuracy of the proposed...
The sonar is a technique used to observe the underwater scene over large distances. The active sonar is mainly used for imaging or for bathymetry. With the modern sonar both uses are now possible. To form a high resolution three dimensional image, an active side-scan sonar is used. To develop algorithms in order to obtain an image, we need experimental data. One of the difficulties in the analysis...
We calculate the deposition rate of TiO2 for MOCVD. Using an equation and multi-layer perceptron neural network, we present a model to simulation of deposition rate. Susceptor and source temperature, flow rate of the carrier gas for the precursor and chamber pressure are important factors to our simulation. Our results have good agreement with experimental data.
Tourists and new comers arriving to Doha city, the capital of Qatar, need always to know about specific locations (i.e., tourist sites, hotels, schools, universities, shopping centers, hospitals, health centres, mosques, sporting clubs, etc.) and the possible routes leading to them. They are generally using static sources (i.e., Doha maps, brochures, diverse websites, etc) to get information about...
One of important issues in e-learning world is content integrity. The ability to detect changes in learning contents has been very important for many applications. Content authentication has therefore been one of the most important issues in the e-learning world.
This article presents a novel iterative technique for joint detection and decoding of direct sequence-code division multiple access (DS-CDMA) systems. A turbo-CDMA successive interference cancellation structure is proposed with complexity in O(K), where K is the number of users. The structure can be implemented easily and converges rapidly to the single user bound.
In this paper, the strong stabilization problem of proper and non-minimum phase linear time-invariant multivariable systems is considered. The formulation of the problem resulted in a sufficient condition in a form of linear matrix inequality (LMI) which will be solved using MATLAB LMI Toolbox. A necessary and sufficient condition is given in a form of quadratic matrix inequality, (QMI).
The paper proposes an approach to transform an information based portal into a knowledge-based hub. The study is made on the Agribazaar, which is an information-based portal provided by the Department of Agriculture, Ministry of Agriculture and Agri-based Industry, Malaysia. Basically, the portal has been developed to offer an internet-based commerce infrastructure for buyers and sellers of agriculture...
