As portable devices have become a part of our everyday life, more people are unknowingly participating in a pervasive computing environment. People might engage in many computational devices simultaneously without even the awareness of their existence. The idea of pervasive computing is that almost every device we see today will be capable of communication and function in collaboration with one...

Pervasive, or genome-wide, transcription has been reported in all domains of life. In bacteria, most pervasive transcription occurs antisense to protein-coding transcripts, although recently a new class of pervasive RNAs was identified that originates from within annotated genes. Initially considered to be non-functional transcriptional noise, pervasive transcription is increasingly being recog...

objective: the aim of this report was to study the gender role on autismsymptoms distribution and severity in a clinical sample from iran. then, the results were compared with the published study from the same community population sample, iran. method: the subjects of this retrospective study were a convenient clinical sample of the referrals of children with pervasive developmental disorders. ...

background symptoms of autism spectrum disorders (asd) are commonly observed in children diagnosed with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (adhd). these symptoms might underlie social and functional impairment in such children. the existing classification systems do not allow for diagnosing both conditions in children. objectives this study aimed to assess the presence of asd in a hospita...

This paper explores a macroeconomic model of the business cycle in which stickiness of information is a pervasive feature of the environment. Prices, wages, and consumption are all assumed to be set, to some degree, based on outdated information sets. We show that a model with such pervasive stickiness is better at matching some key facts that describe economic fluctuations than is either a ben...

As pervasive computing technologies leave the labs, they are starting to be used for the purpose of advertising. Pervasive Advertising has the potential to affect everyone’s life, but it seems that a knowledge gap is preventing us from shaping this development in a meaningful way. In particular, many marketing and advertising professionals have an expert understanding of their trade, but are un...

One of the areas with greatest needs having available information at the right moment and with high accuracy is healthcare. Right information at right time saves lives. Healthcare is a vital domain which needs high processing power for high amounts of data. Due to the critical and the special characteristics of these systems, formal methods are used for specification, description and verificati...

Pervasive computing can be defined as access to information and software applications anytime and anywhere. This form of computing is highly dynamic and disaggregated. Users are mobile and services are provided by collections of distributed components collaborating together. Recent advances in mobile computing, service discovery, and distributed computing are key technologies to support pervasi...

T oday, mobile devices and gadgets come with more than just a cool and cutting-edge design; they come equipped with small brains and a common language, making them smarter and more powerful than ever before. Perhaps they're a little too smart—after all, they can adapt and morph into each other and become many-in-one super devices. Mobile phones with PDA capabilities and PDAs packaged as mobile ...

The introduction of pervasive computing environments enforce new ways of human-machineinteraction. The welldefined interaction interfaces will make place for other, more intuitive ways of interaction. In a pervasive service environment, the system middleware should take care of capturing the user’s expression of an action intention, solving ambiguousness in this expression, and executing the fi...
