Literacy practitioners, educators, and researchers have eagerly adopted social media technology, particularly what is referred to as New Literacies (Coiro, Knobel, Lankshear, & Leu, 2007a), as a way to support peertopeer learning, build community, and expand opportunities for expression (Kimmons, 2014). Social media technologies have evolved to the point that they have become common ways of com...

nowadays diabetes disease is one of the main problems of health domain and it’s known as the fourth factor of death in the world. the main problem with this dangerous disease is the late or weak diagnosis. the reason of weak diagnosis is because sometimes doctors aren’t able to select the right patterns or they can’t use the standard patterns very well, so the outcome is that the disease will b...

Impressive progress has been made in global surgery in the past 10 years, and now serious and evidence-based national strategies are being developed for scaling-up surgical services in sub-Saharan Africa. Key to achieving this goal requires developing a realistic country-based estimate of burden of surgical disease, developing an accurate estimate of existing need, deve...

The design of ships is an inherently complex process. This complexity is significantly increased when the particular ship being designed is a naval surface combatant. Naval combatant designers, or more appropriately, design teams, must not only address the factors common to all seagoing vessels such as hull form, propulsion, and maneuverability, but additionally must consider the selection, pla...

Diverse types of structured domain models are nowadays in use in various contexts. On the one hand there are generic models, especially domain ontologies, which are typically used in applications with artificial intelligence (reasoning) flavor; on the other hand there are more specific models that only come to use in areas like software engineering or business analysis. Furthermore, the discipl...

We investigate the problem of reordering agents starting from an existing queue. First, we introduce four important axioms of the problem, budget balance (BB), outcome efficiency (OE), strategyproofness (SP), and individual rationality (IR). Unfortunately, it is easy to show that these four axioms are incompatible in the current setup. Given this negative result, we examine the consequences of ...

A t the University of South Australia, we’ve been developing and evaluating technologies to support through-walls collaboration, in which users in an intelligent meeting room can work in real time with field operatives to view and manipulate data. The users in the field have first-hand knowledge of the current problem, whereas the indoor users have access to reference materials, a global pictur...
