in this paper, a mechanized system for self-assessment based on process-oriented approach of iso 9004:2000 has been developed. to design of this mechanized system, the expert system has been used as in providing the assessment and scoring questions the experts’ knowledge, head auditors of quality management system, has been used and this knowledge has been saved in the access software database....

The number of telephone applications that use automatic speech recognition is increasing fast. At the same time the use of mobile telephones is rising at high speed. This causes a need for databases with speech recorded over the cellular network. When creating a mobile speech database a number of problems show up that are not an issue when creating a speech database of fixed network recordings....

We have developed a new computational framework for merging odor response data sets from heterogeneous studies, creating a consensus metadatabase, the database of odor responses (DoOR). As a result, we obtained a functional atlas of all available odor responses in Drosophila melanogaster. Both the program and the data set are freely accessible and downloadable on the Internet (http://neuro.uni-...

MOTIVATION Bioinformatics requires reusable software tools for creating model-organism databases (MODs). RESULTS The Pathway Tools is a reusable, production-quality software environment for creating a type of MOD called a Pathway/Genome Database (PGDB). A PGDB such as EcoCyc (see http://ecocyc.org) integrates our evolving understanding of the genes, proteins, metabolic network, and genetic ne...

Despite the challenges of geographic isolation, a small population and limited financial resources, the Republic of Palau has been able to significantly improve its ability to address disasters through establishing an emergency health program funded by US Federal Grants. The ability to prevent and respond to ordinary emergencies and disasters has been bolstered by creating electronic Public Hea...

Web and an Object-Relational Database Management System Alistair Dunlop, Mark Papiani and Tony Hey July 12, 1996 Abstract Reformatting information currently held in databases into Web pages requires signi cant e ort in both creating the pages initially and their subsequent maintenance. We avoid these costs by coupling a Web server indirectly to a multimedia database using additional software we...

Database outsourcing is an idea to eliminate the burden of database management from organizations. Since data is a critical asset of organizations, preserving its privacy from outside adversary and untrusted server should be warranted. In this paper, we present a distributed scheme based on storing shares of data on different servers and separating indexes from data on a distinct server. Shamir...

In shared-nothing multipocessor database machines, the storage organization for a relation is independent of the strategy used to decluster the relation. A database administrator for such a system has a wide range of alternatives when creating a relation. In this paper, we analyze the impact of three alternative declustering strategies on the performance of the selection queries using different...

This paper describes a database of affective (emotional) utterances for the Russian language. The database contains recordings of 61 speakers (12 male and 49 female) who pronounce ten sentences neutrally (unemotionally) and expressing the following five emotional states: surprise, happiness, anger, sadness and fear. The database is constructed as a material source for linguistic and speech proc...
