Broadcast disk technology has become a popular method for data dissemination in wireless information systems. However, factors such as intentional periodic disconnection by the mobile hosts result in further needs for managing access modes to let the mobile hosts procure highest benefit through the disconnections. In this paper, we propose a new broadcast indexing structure, Data Receiver Indic...

BACKGROUND There is scant evidence on the association between diagnosis delays and the receipt of test results in HIV Early Infant Diagnosis (EID) programs. We determine the association between diagnosis delays and other health care system and patient factors on result receipt. METHODS We reviewed 703 infant HIV test records for tests performed between January 2008 and February 2009 at a regi...

CONTEXT Voice recognition technology (VRT) has been in use for medical transcription outside of laboratories for many years, and in recent years it has evolved to a level where it merits consideration by surgical pathologists. OBJECTIVE To determine the feasibility and impact of making a transition from a transcriptionist-based service to VRT in surgical pathology. DESIGN We have evaluated ...

In Round Robin CPU scheduling algorithm the main concern is with the size of time quantum and the increased waiting and turnaround time. Decision for these is usually based on parameters which are assumed to be precise. However, in many cases the values of these parameters are vague and imprecise. The performance of fuzzy logic depends upon the ability to deal with Linguistic variables. With th...

We present the architecture and design of a new transponder to support deepspace and near-Earth missions in the post-2010 time frame. This transponder is designed to provide direct-to-Earth command and telemetry service; spacecraftto-spacecraft command and telemetry service; direct-to-Earth navigation in the form of coherent Doppler turnaround, sequential turn-around ranging, pseudo-noise regen...
