introduction: applying information technology in healthcare system is one of the most important criteria of the world health organization for evaluating the quality of healthcare systems of different countries. moreover, applying this technology in different parts of health care system can create great potentials for improving the quality of healthcare services. in this regard, radio frequency ...

The paper summarizes the current status of the reporter gene technology and their basics. Reporter gene technology is widely used to monitor cellular events associated with gene expression and signal transduction. Based upon the splicing of transcriptional control elements to a variety of reporter genes, it “reports” the effects of a cascade of signaling events on gene expression inside cells. ...

The question of whether architectural creativity is more of an artistic or engineering nature is one with a long history but also one with no conclusive answer. The art camp would argue that technology should be treated as a means towards and end, and that technology alone cannot give meaning to our lives. The engineering camp on the other hand would argue that good problem-solving result...

Mobile phone use and wireless communication technology have grown explosively over the past decades. This rapid growth has caused widespread global concern about the potential detrimental effects of this technology on human health. Stem cells generate specialized cell types of the tissue in which they reside through normal differentiation pathways. Considering the undeniable importance of stem ...

production planning is performed through diverse methods according to the type of the system it is structured upon. one of the most important steps before production planning is to determine which system best fits the firm, and how the facilities should be designed. both job-shop and group-technology systems have their own pros and cons, each of which is suitable to a specific kind of factory. ...

In this paper an application of the cluster analysis technique in educational planning is demonstrated by means of a developed computer software with some characteristics of an expert system. The main idea is based on the knowledge-based systems which have been applied in group technology. The software is applied to weekly schedules of the courses and professors of the Industrial Engineering De...

Banks, in order to extend the development of information technology and electronic banking services and its using by customers, in first place, should examine barriers and problems in using information technology. Therefore, in this study we deal with identifying and prioritizing these barriers in Iranian banks. Our method in this research is descriptive-survey. In this way, after the library s...

application of quantum-dot is a promising technology for implementing digital systems at nano-scale.  quantum-dot cellular automata (qca) is a system with low power consumption and a potentially high density and regularity. also, qca supports the new devices with nanotechnology architecture. this technique works based on electron interactions inside quantum-dots leading to emergence of quantum ...

abstract purpose of this paper: the objectives of this paper are two folds: (1) utilizing hierarchical fuzzy technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (topsis) approach to evaluate the most suitable rfid-based systems decision, and (2) to highlight key risks and benefits of radio frequency identification technology in healthcare industry. design/methodology/approach: resear...
