Application of data mining techniques to the WWW (World Wide Web), referred to as Web mining, has been the focus of several recent research projects and papers. One of several possibilities can be its application to the &stance education. Taken as a whole, the emerging trends in distance education are facilitating its usability on the Internet. With the explosive growth of information sources a...

Information exchange is a crucial process in groups, but to date, no one has systematically examined how a group member's relationship with a group can undermine this process. The current research examined whether disidentified group members (i.e., members who have a negative relationship with their group) strategically undermine the group outcome in information exchange. Disidentification has ...

Multi-view editing is useful in many situations where users of a software application want to see and interact with different representations of the same information. This paper describes a new approach to keeping free-edited multiple textual and graphical views of information consistent. Descriptions of changes to information items are displayed in various ways in the multiple views of these i...

As we become increasingly dependent on electronic information-processing systems at home and work, it's easy to lose sight of the fact that our very survival depends on highly complex biological information-processing systems. Each of the trillions of cells that form the human body has the ability to detect and respond to a wide range of stimuli and inputs, using an extraordinary set of signali...

The paper presents an innovative solution in the field of RFID (Radio-Frequency IDentification) smartcard authentication. Currently the smartcards are used for many purposes e.g. employee identification, library cards, student cards or even identity credentials. Personal identity is revealed to untrustworthy entities every time we use these cards. Such information could later be used without ou...

background evaluation of the accuracy and performance of sonography units needs tissue-mimicking phantoms. these phantoms play an important role by simulating soft tissues, obviating the need to experiment on humans or animals. objectives to present a simple sonographic phantom for quality control and training purposes. materials and methods the presented phantom consists of a two-part plexigla...
