Intervention Technologies for Ensuring Microbiological Safety of Meat: Current and Future Trends

Metabolomics: current technologies and future trends.

The ability to sequence whole genomes has taught us that our knowledge with respect to gene function is rather limited with typically 30-40% of open reading frames having no known function. Thus, within the life sciences there is a need for determination of the biological function of these so-called orphan genes, some of which may be molecular targets for therapeutic intervention. The search fo...

E-Collaboration Technologies and Organizational Performance: Current and Future Trends

AulaNet Technologies: Future Trends

 In this paper we present AulaNet, an environment for the creation and maintenance of Web-based courses. It differs from other Web-based instruction environments because it lacks the physical elements of the traditional schools, lying over the trivet communication – coordination – cooperation. We also present some future trends in the development of this learning environment, focusing the crea...

Trends in Health Information Technology Safety: From Technology-Induced Errors to Current Approaches for Ensuring Technology Safety

OBJECTIVES Health information technology (HIT) research findings suggested that new healthcare technologies could reduce some types of medical errors while at the same time introducing classes of medical errors (i.e., technology-induced errors). Technology-induced errors have their origins in HIT, and/or HIT contribute to their occurrence. The objective of this paper is to review current trends...

Outsourcing: Current and future trends

Highlighted are two reasons for outsourcing: cost and focus on the core competencies of the enterprise. Surveying U.S., U.K., and Continental Europe companies concerning current and future outsourcing trends positions outsourcing as a prominent strategic lever. Achieving “best-of-breed” practice is predicted to occur through new technology. Also, human resources and IT outsourcing will become m...
