چکیده

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to propose a novel approach to integrate PDF interface into Java-based digital library application. It bridges the gap between conducting content operation and viewing on PDF document asynchronously. Design/methodology/approach – In this paper, we firstly review some related research and discuss PDF and its drawbacks. Next, we propose the design steps and implementation of three modes of displaying PDF document: PDF display, image display and XML display. A comparison of these three modes has been carried out. Findings –We find that the PDF display is able to completely present the original PDF document contents and thus obviously superior to the other two displays. In addition, the format specification of PDF-based e-book does not perform well; lack of standardization and complex structure is exposed to the publication. Practical implications – The proposed approach makes viewing the PDF documents more convenient and effective, and can be used to retrieve and visualize the PDF documents and to support the personalized function customization of PDF in the digital library applications. Originality/value – This paper proposes a novel approach to solve the problem between content operation and the view of PDF synchronously, providing users a new tool to retrieve and reuse the PDF documents. It contributes to improve the service specification and policy of viewing the PDF for digital library. Besides, the personalized interface and public index make further development and application more feasible.

A Java-Interface to Digital Cameras

In this article, lessons learned from the design of a Java interface to digital cameras are described. The interface allows programmers to interact with a FireWire digital camera directly from within their Java programs. Two types of applications were developed. The first uses the Java 2D API directly to display the information on screen. Java networking is used to transmit the images over a ne...

HALO - a Java framework for precise transcript half-life determination

UNLABELLED Recent improvements in experimental technologies now allow measurements of de novo transcription and/or RNA decay at whole transcriptome level and determination of precise transcript half-lives. Such transcript half-lives provide important insights into the regulation of biological processes and the relative contributions of RNA decay and de novo transcription to differential gene ex...
