Developing intergenerational connections in Manchester Looking back Looking forward 0 Although we may not use the term, all of us enter into intergenerational relationships. As parents, grandparents, children, politicians even, our lives revolve around mutual support and care. The sharing of knowledge and expertise between the generations is the hallmark of healthy, sustainable communities, cre...

I take the reins of IEEE Internet Computing after 10 years of the magazine's existence, and a crazy 10 years it has been — if not for the magazine itself, then for the Internet. With my first column as editor in chief, I'd like to look back at the past decade and how the magazine has evolved along with the Internet. I picked the column heading, All Systems Go, to highlight one of these evolutio...

Abstract Multi-stakeholder partnerships (MSPs) have become a major driver to attain the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). However, managing MSPs is difficult because of multiple complexities they involve. We seek contribute better understanding how cope with these by exploring MSP scope. In our study four global health MSPs, we find that function-oriented scope in terms focus...

havioral approaches; specifically, they concern topics such as the mobile environment, u-Health, organizational and individual barriers to information systems, user preference to monitors, and human factors in engineering. The collection of topics here is only one example of the gradual rise in interest in social factors, policy, and behavioral informatics. This trend is not only a consequence ...

Trade openness plays a vital role in boosting the production of manufacturing sector. Two opposing perspectives identify trade-growth nexus. One posits that trade will stifle industrial productivity while view believes can be enhanced by liberalization regime. This study investigates instantaneous and jointly dynamic effect along with macroeconomic variables (i.e., Malaysian exchange rate avera...

Editorial I n the mid-1700s, the medical establishment believed that scurvy was a disease of putrefaction that was treatable with an elixir of vitriol and wort. The benefit of citrus was dismissed as unproven despite the fact that its regular consumption to prevent scurvy had been used by some cultures since antiquity and the English military had recommended citrus for scurvy for more than 50 y...

Hypothalamic proopiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons are critical for controlling homeostatic functions in mammals. We used a transgenic mouse model in which the POMC neurons were labeled with enhanced-green fluorescent protein (EGFP) to perform visualized, whole-cell patch recordings from pre-pubertal female hypothalamic slices. The mouse POMC-EGFP neurons expressed the same endogenous conductance ...

A wearable low-power hybrid vision-inertial tracker has been demonstrated based on a flexible sensor fusion core architecture, which allows easy reconfiguration by plugging-in different kinds of sensors. A particular prototype implementation consists of one inertial measurement unit and one outward-looking wide-angle Smart Camera, with a built-in DSP to run all required image-processing tasks. ...
