Up to date, tele-pathology in the three different forms of application, "dynamic", "static" and "virtual microscopy" has been mainly based on tele-hystology remote consulting. Today the diffusion of specialized WAN connections is guiding the research of new applications of tele-pathology. A specific analysis has been conducted, focused on digital cytology, in the biomedical laboratory of Sant'A...

A di culty in writing control software for research tele scopes is designing su cient exibility to handle continually changing requirements The primary goal of the control software architecture for NRAO s new meter radio telescope in Green Bank West Virginia is exibility through the construction of a radically modular software sys tem

ETS-VII (Engineering Test Satellite No.7) was launched on Nov.1997 to conduct automated rendezvous docking and space robot technology experiments. A 6dof robot arm which is mounted on the ETS-VII chaser satellite were tele-operated from ground and were used to in various experiments such as ORU exchange, equipment handling and satellite capture. These results came by overcoming various troubles...

In order to evaluate the energy distribution (due to matter and fields including gravitation) associated with a space-time model of Szekeres class I and II metrics, we consider the Einstein, Bergmann-Thomson and LandauLifshitz energy and/or momentum definitions in the tele-parallel gravity (the tetrad theory of gravitation). We find the same energy distribution using Einstein and Bergmann-Thoms...

The design and development of computational infrastructures supporting existing tele-laboratory experiences in the field of automation and robotics are described. The goal of the activity is to provide a proper e-learning environment in which remote laboratory experiences are integrated in a coherent way. The addition of e-learning features, as self-assessment and progress monitoring tools, asy...

The provision of mental health services via videoconferencing tele-mental health has become an increasingly routine component of mental health service delivery throughout the world. Emphasizing the research literature since 2003, we examine: 1) the extent to which the field of tele-mental health has advanced the research agenda previously suggested; and 2) implications for tele-mental health ca...

We developed a method for remote measurement of balance and leg force in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI). In a group of 21 patients, both telemedicine and conventional clinical assessments were conducted at baseline and six months later. Telemedicine assessments were successfully acquired and transmitted at first attempt. The time required to set up the telemedicine equipment, position t...

Computers are ever more thought of to support cooperative work over distances. Thus tele-cooperation tools and environments are needed which bring the meeting and joint-working onto everyone’s desktop. The following paper introduces such a joint viewing and tele-operation service allowing to bridge even heterogeneous workstation environments. The required cooperation-awareness is achieved by a ...

The real-time requirement means that the simulation should be able to follow the actions of the user that may be moving in the virtual environment. The computer system should also store in its memory a three-dimensional (3D) model of the virtual environment. In that case a real-time virtual reality system will update the 3D graphic visualization as the user moves, so that up-to-date visualizati...

Abstract In a statisti al analysis of more than a entury of data we nd a strong onne tion between strong warm El Ni~ no winter events and high spring pre ipitation in a band from Southern England eastwards into Asia. This relationship is an extension of the onne tion mentioned by Kiladis and Diaz (1989), and mu h stronger than the winter season tele onne tion that has been the subje t of other ...
