On this, our 20th anniversary, we pay tribute to the women and men who made the ECC's foundation possible. They included the Hon. E.G. Whitlam QC, then Prime Minister of Australia; the Hon. J.M. Fraser, then Leader of the Opposition; the Hon. S.G. Mauger, then State Minister for Youth, Ethnic and Community Affairs, representing the Premier of NSW; the Hon. N. Wran QC, then Leader of the Opposit...

There is extensive health and public health literature on the 'evidence-policy gap', exploring the frustrating experiences of scientists trying to secure a response to the problems and solutions they raise and identifying the need for better evidence to reduce policymaker uncertainty. We offer a new perspective by using policy theory to propose research with greater impact, identifying the need...

Wireless Sensor Networks plays important role in our life so they need to be secured. In this paper we will first give introduction of basics of wireless sensor network and code dissemination technique. We will discuss the impact of reprogramming on WSN in parallel. we will introduce technique called Enhanced ECC to make WSN energy efficient.

OBJECTIVES To identify the factors associated with medical students' clinical reasoning (CR) use and evidence-based medicine (EBM) use in the clinical setting. METHODS Our cross-sectional study surveyed 44 final-year medical students at an emerging academic medical center in Singapore. We queried the students' EBM and CR value and experiences in the classroom and clinical settings. We compare...

Contractor renormalization (CORE) is a real-space renormalization-group method to derive effective Hamiltionians for microscopic models. The original CORE method is based on a real-space decomposition of the lattice into small blocks and the effective degrees of freedom on the lattice are tensor products of those on the small blocks. We present an extension of the CORE method that overcomes thi...

and epidemiologists at McMaster University in Ontario, Canada, officially coined the term “evidence-based medicine.” From the get-go, the concept faced mixed reviews: excitement from those in the academic and research worlds and suspicion from those in the “real world,” who found EBM impractical in a busy medical office. However, a lot can change in a decade. Today, with the advent of large dat...
