The widespread availability of relatively cheap, reliable and easy to use digital camera traps has led to their extensive use for wildlife research, monitoring and public outreach. Users of these units are, however, often frustrated by the limited options for controlling camera functions, the generation of large numbers of images, and the lack of flexibility to suit different research environme...

Background: The nursing process is often considered as core of the nursing care delivery and guides the care documentation. Currently, with rapid advance in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) this process can be supported electronically. Applying information systems improves care health processes. Nursing Information Systems (NISs) deal with nursing process. Materials and Methods: E...

New DNA sequencing technologies can sequence up to one billion bases in a single day at low cost, putting large-scale sequencing within the reach of many scientists. Many researchers are forging ahead with projects to sequence a range of species using the new technologies. However, these new technologies produce read lengths as short as 35-40 nucleotides, posing challenges for genome assembly a...

The extraordinary story of the three-dimensional radiofrequency quadrupole ion trap, accompanied by a seemingly unintelligible theoretical treatment, is told in some detail because of the quite considerable degree of commercial success that quadrupole technology has achieved. The quadrupole ion trap, often used in conjunction with a quadrupole mass filter, remained a laboratory curiosity until ...

In this talk I’ll briefly review the design challenges of a high energy, high luminosity e+elinear collider and discuss the layout and performance of various technical options. I’ll then present the status of the R&D effort and review the performance of the integrated system tests now underway at several laboratories.
