Web-based asynchronous store-and-forward telemedicine systems for diagnostic purposes, which enable the consultation of one (or more) distant health care professional(s) by a locally present health care professional concerning a patient‘s diagnosis and treatment can significantly improve healthcare services. Yet, developing high-quality asynchronous store-andforward telemedicine systems (ASFTSs...

Isorhamnetin (ISO) is a flavonoid from plants of the Polygonaceae family and is also an immediate metabolite of quercetin in mammals. To date, the anti‑tumor effects of ISO and the underlying mechanisms have not been elucidated in lung cancer cells. The present study investigated the inhibitory effects of ISO on the growth of human lung cancer A549 cells. Treatment of the lung cancer cells with...

ii Explanatory note This draft guidance document was prepared by a group of experts as a joint project with ISO. The same document has been circulated within the ISO as a Working Draft (ISO TC 147/SC 5 N 18, ISO/WD 1) of " Water Quality – Guidance document on the statistical analysis of ecotoxicity data " .

On 5 July 2001, SWIFT and FIX Protocol Limited (FPL) announced that the two organisations will seek convergence of their respective messaging protocols by centering on the development and adoption of ISO 15022 XML as a common industry standard. SWIFT and FPL will actively support the efforts of ISO Working Group 10, the group focused on the migration to XML of ISO 15022, which is the current st...

In this paper we attempt to find the reasons for low adoption of the international standard ISO/IEC 2700 on information security management. We benchmark ISO/IEC 27001 against the two other widely applied management system standards – ISO 9001 for quality management and ISO 14001 for environmental management We show that besides low adoption rates, ISO/IEC 27001 standard has received significan...

We hypothesized that the extent of frequency-dependent acceleration of relaxation (FDAR) would be less than that of isoproterenol-(ISO-)dependent acceleration of relaxation (IDAR) at the same increment of heart rates, and ISO may improve FDAR. Cardiac function and phosphorylation of PLB and cTnI were compared in pacing, ISO treatment, and combined pacing and ISO treatment in isolated working he...

The authors compared heart-rate and blood-pressure responses to typical isometric (ISO) and isokinetic (90 degrees /s) eccentric (ECC) resistance-training protocols in older adults. Twenty healthy older adults (74 +/- 5 years old) performed randomly ordered ISO and isokinetic ECC exercise (3 sets of 10 repetitions) at a target intensity of 100 % of their peak ISO torque value. Heart rate and sy...

While metrology has a long tradition of use in physics and chemistry, it is rarely referred to in the software engineering measurement, and in particular, in the design and documentation of software measures. Using the ISO 9126-4 Technical Report on the measurement of software quality in use as a case study, this paper reports on the extent to which this ISO series addresses the metrology crite...

ISO certification is widely implemented across the globe. Achieving ISO certification is time consuming, very cumbersome and expensive. The impetuses behind pursuing ISO certification are purportedly improved firm’s internal processes, reduced costs, increased market share etc. which ultimately result in overall improved firm performance. This study undertakes meta-analyses of the current ISO l...

The ISO/IEC 27799 standard for information security management in health was released in 2008. The standard contains a substantial section (Section 6) covering information security management systems in the healthcare context. This raises the question whether the ISO/IEC 27799 purports a difference between the generic standard for information security management systems (as embodied in the ISO/...
