Pressure-volume catheterisation techniques can be employed to investigate cardiology workflow during the cardiac cycle in continuous real time. However, cost of a pressure-volume catheter is quite expensive when compared to medical fee for animal care in Thailand. This paper presents how to design and construct a pressure-volume catheter using a microelectronic pressure sensor and conductance techniques...
Multi-pattern matching algorithms are broadly used in many fields of computer science. However, the performance of the existing algorithms seriously degrades with the increasing of the number of patterns. In this paper, an improved multi-pattern matching algorithm based on the framework of the Wu-Manber (WM) algorithm is proposed to effectively deal with the large pattern sets. The WM algorithm is...
Technology has become an integral element in the life of communities. One of the major fields that Technology is playing a major role is the citizens participation through what is called E-participation. E-participation is the use of Technology to enhance participation between different stakeholders and governments. It increases transparency, enhances the communication between the government and stakeholders...
We will define two models of error-detecting codes based on quasigroups of arbitrary order. For some special cases of these two models we provide experimental results for the probability of undetected errors if a given quasigroup of order 4 is used for coding. At the end, we will compare the considered special cases.
In order to study multiple attribute decision making problem, this paper presents a new method based on Variable weight synthesis and Mahalanobis distance. The detailed procedure of the proposed algorithm and numerical experiment are given. The proposed algorithm is also compared with an existed algorithm. Compared results show that the proposed algorithm are effective and rational.
As the consistency prediction of data view in information systems and actual data, data quality is of vital importance to decision making and the development of banking industry. In this paper, we firstly analyze the influence of data quality on the banking industry, and make researches on the current situation of banking industry data quality automated management. Then five evaluation dimensions...
The nascent field of entrepreneurship is growing rapidly and attracting increased attention from many sectors, which developed ten evaluation indicators continuously. In spite of the lack of a comprehensive comparison, rankings from those measurement indices were extensively used for investigating, evaluating, and adjusting entrepreneurial policies in different countries. Based on the criteria of...
With changes in economic development and market environment, people are paying more attention to service quality. Professional and medical conflicts are also increasing, and the quality of medical services has also come under increasing spotlight. Using the Kano two-dimensional quality model, this study proposed a priority list for constructing a gender-friendly environment. Combining the service...
Innovation is an essential condition for enterprises to maintain their competitive advantage. Therefore, many enterprises attempt to find the factors which could achieve innovation. Prior studies have found that team diversity, which include relation-oriented diversity, task-oriented diversity, and deep-level diversity, plays an important role in team innovation, but the results are inconsistent....
Innovation is one of the most important sources of competitive advantage. It helps a company to fuel the growth of new products and services, sustain incumbents, create new markets, transform industries, and promote the global competitiveness of nations. Because of its importance, companies need to manage innovation. It is very important for a company to be able to measure its innovativeness because...
In an earlier paper, we introduced the distinction between a `model-structure' (consisting of the system components and lines connecting components) and a `model-ontology' (consisting of the measurement methodology in the model and the translation of information to another model). Here we apply this distinction to the methodological challenge of measurement and integration of economic models. The...
In the past decade, Satisfiability Modulo Theories (SMT) solvers have been used successfully in a variety of applications including verification, automated theorem proving, and synthesis. While such solvers are highly adept at handling ground constraints in several decidable background theories, they primarily rely on heuristic quantifier instantiation methods such as E-matching to process quantified...
This paper examines the impact of DG units on the voltage stability of a radial distribution system. A selected portion of the Korean distribution system has been analyzed with simulation. The voltage stability index for the radial systems with different positions and capacities of DG units has been calculated.
In order to answer questions arising from the deeper application of flipped classroom, our study proposed an instructional design framework of "flipped classroom on the basis of understanding". In pursuit of facilitating students' understanding, teachers could combine the theory of teaching for understanding with the flipped classroom pattern, reform their teaching beyond flipping classroom...
We propose a novel approach, called random traders, to benchmark equity funds' performance. A random trader adopts an all-in-all-out strategy to buy and sell the market index at random timing with capital being negligible as compared with the market size. With the empirical distribution of a random trader's return, each equity fund is scored by the proportion of random traders with poorer performance...
The aim of this paper is to propose a two-stage method of clustering in which the first stage uses one-pass k-median++ and the second stage uses an agglomerative hierarchical clustering. To handle medians in the second stage, we proposed two calculation methods. One method uses L1 distance as similarity. Another uses error of L1 distance like the Ward method. In this paper, we compared proposed method...
E-learning implemented in distance education has been developing rapidly in China since 1999. Along with the rapid development, China modern distance education encountered many difficulties. How to provide personalized learning support for massive distance learners is one of the difficulties. Researchers have suggested that learning style as habitual ways of perceiving and processing information has...
In this paper, we propose a novel multi-hop transmission scheme for minimization of the end-to-end delay between source and destination. The simulation results show that proposed protocol can enhance the end-to-end delay performance and improve energy efficiency by minimizing the idle period of DRP reservation block.
This study examined the fingertip force variability on the left and right hand during low-level sustained precision pinch with the thumb and index finger. Ten healthy, right-handed subjects were required to pinch a device with a stable force output at 5 N for 1 min. The pinch force was recorded for the right and left hand, separately. Visual feedback was provided for the first 30 s and removed for...
Based on the 2002-2011 statistic data, carry out quantitative analysis on the industrial structure evolution of China Yunan central region in recently 10 years with GIS spatial analysis technology and method, industrial structure entropy, industrial structure conversion speed coefficient, industrial structure conversion direction coefficient and shift-share method. The results show that the total...
