Background The current distribution of and access to health services along with the future health needs of the population have prompted wide application of Geographic Information Systems (GISs). During recent years, GIS has been used in public health management for planning and organization of healthcare services. This study investigates geographical accessibility of residential areas in Bandar...

The use of electronic health information to support clinical and public health services has increased in recent years. One of the leaders in advancing this field is immunization information systems (IISs). Immunization information systems are confidential, populationbased, computerized databases that record all immunization doses administered by participating providers to persons residing withi...

This paper reports on the on-going Fair Integrated Data Exchange Services (FIDES) project aimed at developing a security middleware solution to support e-commerce transactions and the provision of the important fair exchange and nonrepudiation security services. Fair exchange ensures that either both business parties participating in a transaction receive the exchanged valuable items or neither...

mediatheque is an inclusive adaptation of library in which public could exchange information in practical way by applying contemporary technology. it is exerting a new method of bilateral exchange information between clients and sources through various media, which not only serve a faster data transmission than books and libraries but also are more efficient than the other services. this compre...

due to the importance of the import management, this study applies generalized ardl approach to estimate midas regression for wheat import value and to compare the accuracy of forecasts with those competed by the regression with adjusted data model. mixed frequency sampling models aim to extract information with high frequency indicators so that independent variables with lower frequencies are ...

Let k = k be a quadratic number field with discriminant ∆. For n ≥ 0, we define fields k inductively by taking k as the compositum of all unramified quadratic extensions of k that are central over k. Then k(∞) = ⋃∞ n=0 k (n,2) is the 2-class field tower of k. In the following, we call k the n central 2-step. The structure of the Galois group Gal (k/k) of the first central 2-step is determined b...

Prior studies investigating business-to-business (B2B) e-commerce adoption have predominantly focused on institutional and transaction-cost theories while neglecting the influence of IT-based design characteristics on B2B e-commerce adoption. This study probes the design features of B2B exchanges, and their effects on perceived benefits, perceived costs, and intentions to adopt such exchanges. ...

We determine the correlation energy of BN, ${\mathrm{SiO}}_{2}$, and ice polymorphs employing a recently developed random phase approximation with exchange (RPAx) approach. The RPAx provides larger more accurate polarizabilities as compared to (RPA), captures effects anisotropy. In turn, energy, defined an integral over density-density response function, gives improved binding energies without ...
