today the usage of some compounds as indicator, can be checked changes of the food quality without opening the package. the most important indicators are indicates that show the level of product quality and freshness. freshness and temperature - time reagents reflect on extension of the product quality. indicators show the quality of the product, by physical and chemical changes which will be l...

BACKGROUND Early identification of frailty is important for proactive primary care. Currently, however, there is no consensus on which measure to use. Therefore, we examined whether a Frailty Index (FI), based on ICPC-coded primary care data, and the Groningen Frailty Indicator (GFI) questionnaire identify the same older people as frail. METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional, observational s...

Errors in navigational instruments can significantly affect flight safety. Airspeed is a key piece of navigational data that depends on accurately measured air pressure, which in turn depends on accurately measured air temperature. Instead of measuring the outside air temperature in real time, cockpit instruments are preprogramed with standard air temperature values for different flight altitud...

The GERRI project materializes the Grenelle Environnement’s goals, of which the energy management of a territory is a facet. The aim is to forecast future energy production and consumption, bearing in mind economic and ecological indicators, and using a large number of interactions schemes between the involved parties. The originality of this paper is to present a new approach using the multi-a...

Predictable behaviour is a critical factor when developing a sensor for potential deployment within a wireless sensor network (WSN). The work presented here details the fabrication and performance of an optical chemical sensor for gaseous acetic acid analysis, which was constructed using inkjet printed deposition of a colorimetric chemical sensor. The chemical sensor comprised a pH indicator dy...

Most traditional approaches to anaphora resolution rely heavily on linguistic and domain knowledge. One of the disadvantages of developing a knowledgebased system, however, is that it is a very labourintensive and time-consuming task. This paper presents a robust, knowledge-poor approach to resolving pronouns in technical manuals. This approach is a modification of the practical approach (Mitko...

In this paper, we present a knowledge discovery process applied to hydrological data. To achieve this objective, we combine successive methods to extract knowledge on data collected at stations located along several rivers. Firstly, data is pre processed in order to obtain different spatial proximities. Later, we apply two algorithms to extract spatiotemporal patterns and compare them. Such ele...

Process Improvement has been used for decades as a means to become better and more efficient. Whilst many organizations have used considerable resources for process improvement, investments in process improvement have not always led to changes and improvements expected. One most important aspects of management is to motivate the work force. However, management often fails to deliver. In fact, b...

The Zarivar Lake a freshwater lake in west of Kurdistan Province is home for large number of native plant and animal species therefore water quality and health of the lake are vital for conservation of these species. The present study aimed at evaluation of the Zarivar Lake using NSF- WQI as an indicator of water quality. WQI is a suitable tool to examine and classify spatial and temporal varia...
