In recent decades, dominant discourses in health promotion have emphasized empowerment, client participation and the notion of people identifying and being facilitated to meet their own health needs. However, there has been little analysis of the concept of 'need' and the possibility, at least, that the fulfillment of some such self-defined needs are not in the interest of social justice and eq...

Federated learning (FL) is a powerful distributed machine framework where server aggregates models trained by different clients without accessing their private data. Hierarchical FL, with client-edge-cloud aggregation hierarchy, can effectively leverage both the cloud server’s access to many clients’ data and edge servers’ closeness achieve high communication efficiency. Neural network quantiza...

Customer Relationship Management is not any longer thought of a business trend, however associate business common place that's needed to secure and maintain competitive advantage. CRM, once properly and effectively utilized, ends up in enhanced gain and larger client loyalty, 2 key wants for any organization. Now-a-days, client Relationship Management (CRM) has become the necessary and crucial ...

The creation and management of buildings over their lifecycle involves the cooperation of many organizations, which broadly fall into a client domain and AEC (architecture, engineering, construction) domain. While this mix of expertise is essential, the ineffective management of the boundaries between these organizations can undermine building lifecycle performance. This paper explores client–A...

With the rapid adoption of cloud storage services, a great deal of data is being stored at remote servers, so a new technology, client-side deduplication, which stores only a single copy of repeating data, is proposed to identify the client’s deduplication and save the bandwidth of uploading copies of existing files to the server. It was recently found, however, that this promising technology i...

In this paper, we proposed a distributed speech recognition system using PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) as a client and personal computer as a server through wireless network. General mobile clients such as PDA’s are primarily motivated by the needs for providing more convenient user-interface. Speech or character recognition is provided for this purpose. However, the conventional mobile clie...

Due to the high bandwidth requirement and rate variability of compressed video, delivering video across wide area networks (WANs) is a challenging issue. Proxy servers have been used to reduce network congestion and improve client access time on the Internet by caching passing data. In this paper, we investigate ways to store or stage partial video in proxy servers to reduce the network bandwid...

The performance of client/server systems is complex and highly dependent on a number of interacting issues such as workloads, processor interconnection, mapping issues, processor type and communications medium making the realisation of a fast, efficient implementation difficult and time consuming. This can be further complicated if computer systems are not exclusively dedicated to one processin...

Many organizations in recent years have adopted an offshore model to deliver most or part of their information technology needs. While offshoring can be associated with significant cost savings and implementation benefits, it can also be a challenge to effectively manage the international client-vendor relationship. Thus, it is argued that the effective management, coordination and structuring ...

The applicability of biological market theory with its emphasis on partner choice is explored using the interactions between the cleaner wrasse Labroides dimidiatus and its “client” reef fish as a model system of mutualism. Cleaners have small territories, which the majority of reef fish species actively visit to invite inspection of their surface, gills, and mouth. Clients benefit from the rem...
