Knowledge brokers in a knowledge network: the case of Seniors Health Research Transfer Network knowledge brokers

BACKGROUND The purpose of this paper is to describe and reflect on the role of knowledge brokers (KBs) in the Seniors Health Research Transfer Network (SHRTN). The paper reviews the relevant literature on knowledge brokering, and then describes the evolving role of knowledge brokering in this knowledge network. METHODS The description of knowledge brokering provided here is based on a develop...

Technology Transfer and the Tech Broker

Forma za Telfor

In the paper we apply progressive waveletcorrelation using Fourier methods to locate objects in aJPEG image. The image is searched step by step. Thesearching consists of three incremental steps, each ofwhich quadruples the number of correlation points. Theprocess can be halted at any stage if the intermediateresults indicate that the correlation will not result in am...

Exploiting Skips In Periodic Tasks For Enhancing

In certain real-time applications, ranging from multimedia to telecommunication systems , timing constraints can be more exible than scheduling theory usually permits. For example, in video reception, missing a deadline is acceptable, provided that most deadlines are met. In this paper, we deal with the problem of scheduling hybrid sets of tasks, consisting of rm periodic tasks (i.e., tasks wit...

Top-k Query Processing with Conditional Skips

This work improves the efficiency of dynamic pruning algorithms by introducing a new posting iterator that can skip large parts of the matching documents during top-k query processing. Namely, the conditional-skip iterator jumps to a target document while skipping all matching documents preceding the target that cannot belong to the final result list. We experiment with two implementations of t...
