In this work, the Interfacial interfacial polymerization (IP) technique was employed using terephthaloyl chloride (TPC) and p-phenylenediamine (PPD), as reactant monomers, to prepare poly(paraphenylene terephthalamide) thin film composite (TFC) nanofiltration on polyethersulphone (PES) support layer. The effects of six different anionic and non-ionic surfactants, in the aqueous phase on the mor...

. to investigate the effect of anisometropic and strabismic amblyopia on the nerve fiber layer thickness. this cross-sectional study was done on 54 amblyopic subjects, equally in both strabismic and anisometropic groups. the thickness otonerve fiber layer measured in superior, inferior, nasal, temporal quadrants and as a whole in both eyes of both groups. the means of thickness were compared in...

This paper proposes “MobileSocket” which realizes session layer communication continuity support for Java Applications towards the continuous operations for mobile applications. In the mobile computing environment where mobile hosts moves around the network even during applications are communicating with the remote, maintenance of the communication continuity between the applications is signifi...

Support of end-to-end Quality-of-Service (QoS) and appropriate high-level programming abstractions are two crucial factors for the development of future telecommunication services and distributed multimedia systems. Todays middleware systems, like the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA), support high-level programming abstractions, but they do not appropriately support the demands...

This paper presents an approach to authoring support for Web courseware based on a layered ontological paradigm. The ontology-based layers in the courseware authoring architecture serve as a basis for formal semantics and reasoning support in performing generic authoring tasks. This approach represents an extension of our knowledge classification and indexing mechanism from a previously develop...

The characteristics of multi associations business coordination among the enterprises in industry chain is firstly analyzed, and the demand of customizable business of SaaS(Software as a service) based platform supporting the industry chain coordination (in brief, PLATFORM) is intensively analyzed. Based on these, customizable business-oriented PLATFORM architecture based on SOA is designed in ...

© 2013 ETRI Journal, Volume 35, Number 6, December 2013 http://dx.doi.org/10.4218/etrij.13.2013.0040 This paper describes the scalable extension of High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) to provide flexible highquality digital video content services. The proposed scalable codec is designed on multi-loop decoding architecture to support inter-layer sample prediction and inter-layer motion parameter...

Mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) are well known by their flexibility and usefulness, being an ideal technology to support ubiquitous computing environments. Such environments are expected to support a plethora of applications, including real-time video and voice communications. In terms of applications, this technology can be used whenever there is a lack of infrastructure for support, which typ...

The Extensible Security Adaptation Framework (ESAF) is designed to make configuration more flexible and avoid protocol-dependent application development. Among its features are the seamless integration of new protocols, exchangeability of corrupt protocols and utilization of the best protocol available for communication. This choice is based upon security policies specified by the administratio...

The messiahs project is investigating mechanisms that support task placement in heterogeneous, distributed, autonomous systems. messiahs provides a substrate on which scheduling algorithms can be implemented. These mechanisms were designed to support diverse task placement and load balancing algorithms. As part of this work, we have constructed an interface layer to the underlying mechanisms. T...
