This paper describes an investigation into the potential for remote controlled operation of home automation systems. It considers problems with their implementation, discusses possible solutions through various network technologies and indicates how to optimize the use of such systems. The home is an eternal, heterogeneous, distributed computing environment (Greaves, 2002) which certainly requi...

Providing universal access to innovative, high-cost technologies leads to tensions in today's health care systems. The tension becomes particularly evident in the context of scarce resources, where the risk of taking contentious coverage decisions increases rapidly. To ensure economic sustainability, the payers of health care think that the benefits from the use of the new technologies need to ...

At the present flash in time, renewable energy sources have achieved great worth for modern day society. The main reason for this boom is the need to use substitute sources of energy to fossil fuels which are free of CO2 emissions and contamination. Among the current renewable energy sources, the growth of solar PV has been spectacular. The PV Module itself accounts for around half of total PV ...

In the idea of improving the performances of both full and removable partial dentures, new materials and technologies are coming on the market, promising a better quality. Thermoplastic materials are used more and more widely in the technology of complete or removable partial dentures due to their superior qualities. Thermoplastic resins are suitable for manufacturing a wide range of removable ...

Rethinking the foundations of Heckscher–Ohlin theory when countries have different technologies, this paper shows how to make the proper adjustments for international productivity differences. The central tool is a factor conversion matrix that computes the local factor content of foreign Rybczynski effects. Factor-specific productivities are a special case of these more general linear relation...

In order to harvest higher yield of wheat, selection of suitable sowing technologies are of great importance. The objective of the present study included evaluation of profitability of innovative sowing technologies for wheat cultivation with limited water application by partial budgeting. Different sowing technologies i.e. Bed planting, Conventional tillage and Zero tillage were evaluated with...

This chapter focuses on digital technologies and geometry education, a combination of topics that provides a suitable avenue for analysing closely the issues and challenges involved in designing and utilizing digital technologies for learning mathematics. In revealing these issues and challenges, the chapter examines the design of digital technologies and related forms of learning activities fo...

Overall structure of electrical power system is in the process of changing. For incremental growth, it is moving away from fossil fuels major source of energy in the world today to renewable energy resources that are more environmentally friendly and sustainable [1]. Factors forcing these considerations are (a) the increasing demand for electric power by both developed and developing countries,...

The aim of this paper is to underline the importance of modern technologies and experience of surgeon in using them in ethmoid tumors approaches. The method consists of a general and synthesized presentation of modern technologies and identifying patterns of their utilization according to our experience. differentiated utilization of all technologies combined with all types of techniques accord...

Education has been slow to capitalize on the significant potential benefits to learning of the increased use of information technologies because teachers have, by and large, used them to automate existing classroom practices. A recent innovative Australian project sought to scale up the use of e-learning by giving students and teachers more equity in the development of projects. Students determ...
