The complete hospital information system supports the electronic patient record, which, with the history registration, its laboratory and depiction examinations through the use of expert systems, leads to the immediate and effective diagnosis and treatment of the illness. In this present study with the use of a data flow diagram, which consists of a small indication of the way an expert system ...

Spider diagrams are a visual logic capable of makeing statements about relationships between sets and their cardinalities. Various meta-level results for spider diagrams have been established, including their soundness, completeness and expressiveness. Recent work has established various relationships between spider diagrams and regular languages, which highlighted various classes of languages ...

Spreadsheets are used extensively in industry, often for business critical purposes. In previous work we have analyzed the information needs of spreadsheet professionals and addressed their need for support with the transition of a spreadsheet to a colleague with the generation of data flow diagrams. In this paper we describe the application of these data flow diagrams for the purpose of unders...

We consider the nature of non-linear flow of a two-layer fluid with a rigid lid over a long obstacle, such that the flow may be assumed to be hydrostatic. Such flows can generate hydraulic jumps upstream, and the model uses a new model of internal hydraulic jumps, which results in corrections to flows that have been computed using earlier models of jumps that are now known to be incorrect. The ...

The effect of magnetic shear and shear flow on local gravitationally induced instabilities is investigated. A simple model is constructed allowing for an arbitrary entropy gradient and a shear plasma flow in the Boussinesq approximation. A transformation to shearing magnetic coordinates achieves a model with plasma flow along the magnetic field lines where the coordinate lines are coincident wi...

We present a context-sensitive compositional analysis of information flow for full (mono-threaded) Java bytecode. Our idea consists in transforming the Java bytecode into a control-flow graph of basic blocks of code such that the complex features of the Java bytecode made explicit. The analysis is based on modeling the information flow dependencies with Boolean functions which leads to an accur...

In this work we studied the two-dimensional ionization structure of the circumnuclear and extranuclear regions in a sample of six low−z Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies using Integral Field Spectroscopy. The ionization conditions in the extranuclear regions of these galaxies (∼ 5−15 kpc) are typical of LINERs as obtained from the Veilleux-Osterbrock line ratio diagnostic diagrams. The range of o...

In this paper exergy analysis is used to assess the performance of the three most common air conditioning plant schemes: all-air, dual-duct and fan-coil systems. The results are presented in terms of flow diagrams to provide a clear picture of the exergy flow across the systems. The most relevant outcomes are that the air cooling and dehumidification is the process most responsible for the exer...

Given a set P of n point sites in the plane, the city Voronoi diagram subdivides the plane into the Voronoi regions of the sites, with respect to the city metric. This metric is induced by quickest paths according to the Manhattan metric and an accelerating transportation network that consists of c non-intersecting axis-parallel line segments. We describe an algorithm that constructs the city V...

We consider the problem of a perfectly inelastic bouncing ball on a vibrating plate subjected to a superposition based input forcing function. Both, analytical and experimental studies are performed and the results from each are compared. The developed theoretical models also incorporate friction and provide a fair agreement with the actual experimental data. Interesting regions on bifurcations...
