Artificial Intelligence supplies a vast set of tools to be applied to the design of intelligent user interfaces. While our previous research (Gorniak, 1998) as well as countless other projects sample indulgently from this set and often produce quite impressive results in their own environments (for example, see (Horvitz et al., 98) and (Albrecht et al., 1997),) there emerge some new challenges ...

Finding ways to strengthen health care systems is a matter of great concern all around the world. Health care operations struggle with limited resources and diminishing workforce capabilities, making it imperative for effective and efficient operations. Hospital information systems (HIS) can help achieve this mission, providing reliable, timely, and relevant information about patient characteri...

We study by Quantum Monte Carlo simulations the local superfluid response of small (up to 27 molecules) parahydrogen clusters, down to temperatures as low as 0.05 K. We show that at low temperature superfluidity is not confined at the surface of the clusters, as recently claimed by Khairallah et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 98, 183401 (2007)]. Rather, even clusters with a pronounced shell structure ar...

CURRENT SCIENCE, VOL. 99, NO. 1, 10 JULY 2010 46 This is the fourth article on the theme ‘Photosynthesis and the Global Issues’ being guest-edited by Govindjee, George C. Papageorgiou and Baishnab C. Tripathy. The first article by Lars Olof Björn and Govindjee discussed the evolution of photosynthesis and the chloroplasts and was published in 2009 (vol. 96, pp. 1466–1474); the second article, b...

Most published research on system behavior and workload characterization has been based on either Unix systems or large, usually IBM, mainframe systems. It is reasonable to believe that user behaviors and workloads are di erent for PC systems. Further, the aspects of system design and most needing study have changed from the mainframes dominant in the 1960s and 1970s, and the Unix systems that ...
