Background As assisted reproductive technology is advancing, it should arrange all principles and indexes to improve its quality of functions to provide optimal services to infertile patients. There are few infertility care-specific quality indicators. The indicators were developed by the existing quality dimensions. Safety, effectiveness, and patient centeredness are the most important quality...

This paper presents how to detect MP3 files that have been downloaded from peer-to-peer networks to a user hard disk. The technology can be used for forensics of copyright infringements related to peer-to-peer file sharing, and for copyright payment services. We selected 23 indicators, which show peer-to-peer history for a MP3 file. We developed software to record the indicator values. A group ...

Background: Monitoring and empirical evaluation are essential components of evidence based public health policies and programmes. Consequently, there is a growing interest in monitoring of, and indicators for, major environmental health risks, particularly in the developing world. Current large scale data collection efforts are generally disconnected from micro-scale studies in health sciences,...

Successful implementation of Information Technology can be judged or predicted from the user acceptance. Technology acceptance model (TAM) is a model that is built to analyze and understand the factors that influence the acceptance of the use of technologies based on the user's perspective. In other words, TAM offers a powerful explanation related to acceptance of the technology and its behavio...

Empirical technology forecasting (TF) is not well utilized in technology management. Three factors could enhance managerial utilization: capability to exploit huge volumes of available information, ways to do so very quickly, and informative representations that help manage emerging technologies. This paper reports on efforts to address these three factors via partially automated processes to g...
