Since 2005, many oral chemotherapy agents have been released. Nurses often are not directly involved with patients who receive oral agents. Difficulties with adherence, safety, patient teaching, and access to oral agents can hinder treatment. Nurses can increase adherence and keep patients safe by developing standardized written prescriptions, encouraging the use of patient diaries, offering do...

A common event in the consumer packaged goods industry is the negotiation between a manufacturer and a retailer of the sales promotion calendar. Determining the promotion calendar involves a large number of decisions regarding levels of temporary price reductions, feature ads, and in-store displays, each executed at the level of individual retail accounts and brand SKUs over several months or a...

This paper promotes the automated creation of hybrid personal plans, comprising web services and real human activities, to be supported by the next generation of intelligent calendar applications. A prototype work is present-ed, utilizing both atomic web services and composite ones, the latter having been previously generated from a contingent web service composition module, aiming at in-creasi...

INTRODUCTION Hormonal fluctuation is responsible for worsening of epileptic seizures during the menstrual cycle. OBJECTIVE To identify irregularities in the menstrual cycles of women with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) and extratemporal focal epilepsy (ETFE) and correlate the frequency of seizures during the menstrual cycles. METHOD We evaluated prospectively women in the menacme with...

This paper describes work in progress developing a context-aware meeting alert. This application integrates semantic web technology in RDF (for representing calendars), semantic web rules (for making a context-dependent decision about the precise timing of the alert), and mobile technology for location sensing and message delivery. The outlined work is an early experiment seeking to demonstrate...

Motivated by the need to access internet content on mobile devices with expensive or non-existent network access, this paper discusses the possibility for contextual information extracted from electronic calendars to be used as sources for Internet content predictive retrieval (pre-caching). Our results show that calendar based contextual information is useful for this purpose and that calendar...

We propose a new security architecture, the Object Security Architecture, enabling users to securely store data on (distributed) servers, not completely trustworthy, while at the same time allowing users to share the data according to their own trust models. Moreover, it provides a corporation with means to completely outsource storage of sensitive information. The architecture seems highly sui...

The potential yields of Jenguma soybean (110 calendars days) a medium maturity variety recommended for northern Ghana were simulated using the AquaCrop model with daily climatic data taken from the Wa Meteorological Station. The climate was delineated to be the only constraint limiting the potential yields with the soil serving only as a reservoir to store the rainfall while other factors affec...

The Ancient Egyptians wrote Calendars of Lucky and Unlucky Days that assigned astronomically influenced prognoses for each day of the year. The best preserved of these calendars is the Cairo Calendar (hereafter CC) dated to 1244-1163 B.C. We have presented evidence that the 2.85 days period in the lucky prognoses of CC is equal to that of the eclipsing binary Algol during this historical era. W...
