the prevalence of asthma remains difficult to determine with precision with no absolute or gold standard for diagnosis. international study of asthma and allergies in childhood (isaac) developed video questionnaire for epidemiological studies with less reliance on understanding written asthma questionnaire. the aim of this research was to determine the agreement between the isaac written and vi...

this study sought to investigate the impact of teaching speech acts and role relations through authentic audio-taped and video-taped materials on the level of iranian efl learners’ pragmatic competence. to this end, 55 intermediate learners were ed and randomly assigned to two experimental groups: the audio-taped group and the video-taped group. during the treatment, the audio-taped group recei...

conclusions the study results are indicative of the impact of electromagnetic fields on computer users’ health, and it is thus advisable to avoid leaving computers switched on unnecessarily in addition to observing the minimum distance of 60 cm from computer monitors to control the adverse effects of electromagnetic fields. materials and methods electric and magnetic field intensities were meas...

This article presents an overview and analysis of modern methods tools for assessing the parameters effectiveness traffic management in cities. The possibilities using satellite navigation equipment to assess quality are considered, as well geoinformation systems, transport detectors, software "streaming" video content processing presented

Whether due to amalgamation or export education strategies, many universities now face a problem of delivering subjects, programs and courses across more than one campus. There are significant costs to students, staff and faculty of this teaching and administrative duplication. Information and communication technologies offer potential to achieve economies of scale but the effects on other thin...

Objective measures of canine gait quality via force plates, pressure mats or kinematic analysis are considered superior to subjective gait assessment (SGA). Despite research demonstrating that SGA does not accurately detect subtle lameness, it remains the most commonly performed diagnostic test for detecting lameness in dogs. This is largely because the financial, temporal and spatial requireme...

in this paper, we propose a new full-fuzzy video ratecontrol algorithm (rca) for variable bit rate (vbr) videoapplications. the proposed rca provides high qualitycompressed video with a low degree computational complexity.by controlling the quantization parameter (qp) on a picturebasis, it produces vbr video bit streams. the proposed rcahas been implemented on the jm h.264/avc video codec andth...
