introduction: nowadays different countries benefit from health system based on health cards and projects related to smart cards. lack of facilities which cover this technology is obvious in our society. this paper aims to design minimum data sets of health smart card system for iran. methods: this research was an applied descriptive study. at first, we reviewed the same projects and guidelines ...

extended abstract 1. introduction today the irregular growth of the population and its illogical distribution across natural and cultural environments of different communities has necessitated sustainable development in response to the unstable conditions of cities. mashhad is a city with fast growth and development but with no clear plan, especially after land reform program. in this sense, th...

in this research, the buckling and bending behaviour of smart nanocomposite plate reinforced by single- walled carbon nanotubes (swcnts) under electro-magneto-mechanical loadings is studied. the extended mixture rule approach is used to determine the elastic properties of nanocomposite plate. equilibrium equations of smart nanocomposite plate are derived using the hamilton’s principle based on ...

It seems that virtually every technical paper which describes a new technology to "make the world a better place", includes the term "smart" to refer to some aspect of this new technology. The technical literature is filled with smart capacitors, smart resistors, smart rectifiers, smart op-amps, smart memory, smart circuits, smart cards, smart systems, smart networks, smart partners, smart opin...

in this paper, load and buckling mode of a smart column are presented. the theoretical model is a three-layer piezoelectric composite beam that behaves as an axial actuating mechanism. this actuator consists of an elastic core sandwiched between two piezoelectric active outer layers. the piezoelectric layers are polarized transversely, i.e., the polarization vector is parallel to the applied el...

this paper argues for a broader emphasis on sustainable security and smart power, for examining both opportunities as well as threats to security. sustainable security is a new concept in the security studies. deep attention to all possible threats against human life is necessary for continuation of security in a sustainable and dynamic base. this aim can be achieved in a highest level by mergi...

The Smart Grid, regarded as the next generation power grid, uses two-way flows of electricity and information to create a widely distributed automated energy delivery network. In this article, we survey the literature till 2011 on the enabling technologies for the Smart Grid. We explore three major systems, namely the smart infrastructure system, the smart management system, and the smart prote...

Smart spaces are open complex computing systems, consisting of a large variety of cooperative smart things. Central to building smart spaces is the support for sophisticated coordination among diverse smart things collaborating to accomplish specified tasks. Multi-agent systems are often used as the software infrastructures to address the coordination in smart spaces. However, since agents in s...

throughout life cycle of oil production wells, it is imperative to have production optimization and real response time to rapid changes of well conditions and more understanding of subsurface otherwise it is the matter of expenditure losing. smart well capabilities meet aforementioned issues. however there is a key concern in managers' mind that they have limited budget and several fields' docu...
