Electronic data interchange (EDI) is one of the main requirements in a cooperative environment, more so in an environment that is predestined to the cooperation of various companies and enterprises. The challenge to unify the heterogeneous distributed data sources of the aforementioned companies and enterprises for consistent, easy extensible and versatile data access is met with the Grid Seaml...

PURPOSE We report choroidal findings by means of enhanced depth imaging spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT) in a patient with idiopathic uveal effusion syndrome (IUES). CASE REPORT A 41-year-old man was referred to us with ciliochoroidal and non-rhegmatogenous retinal detachments. Sclerectomies and sclerostomies were performed at the equator in the lower quadrants, resultin...

Inter-organisational systems (IOS) link two or more organisations and enable them to exchange transactions electronically. They have been introduced by different organisations using different adoption processes. Existing literature on IOS adoption however does not explain the variations in the IOS adoption processes initiated by organisations. To overcome this limitation, we have recently devel...

This paper explores the use of information technology to support business innovation with particular attention to human and organisational issues. A theoretical framework is developed for examining IT adoption which is guided at the meta-level by the principles of structuration theory, but explicitly utilises the more familiar perspectives of culture, learning, and leadership in analysing an in...

This paper describes a programme of research-action, conducted in Tech-CICO Laboratory. The goal of this programme is the conception of a IT service which can support cooperation between firms belonging to the branch of textile in Champagne Ardennes. At first, this paper describes the modelling of exchange of numerical documents between partners in textile field. Secondly, it presents the contr...

Ammonium nitrate (AN) is produced by the reaction of ammonia and nitric acid, and a waste condensate is obtained. The condensate contains pure AN in concentration up to 10g/L. The salt content in the condensate is too high to discharge immediately into the river thus it must be treated. This study is concerned with the treatment of condensates from an industrial AN production by combination of ...

Recently, new standards for business-to-business (B2B) e-commerce transactions, to reduce extended record locking, relaxed standard database transaction properties. In this paper, we provide a parallel methodology employing a mobile/intelligent agent framework to alleviate extended record locking, while adhering to standard database transaction properties. Our methodology provides a minimum 30%...

Because of the disconnection between the Logistics services trading platform and the EDI customs clearance system, the logistics clearance data needed to be gathered manually, and the efficiency of customs clearance was rather low. In view of this problem, a logistics data exchange method based on the XML technology was proposed, which firstly achieved the batch extraction and conversion of the...

Abstract Reaching decarbonization goals has become a top focus for several industrialized and emerging economies globally. The greatest effect of human behavior is global warming. Utilizing fiscal decentralization (FDST), export diversification (EDI), environment‐related technological innovation (ERTI) may be necessary to address pollution accomplish environmental sustainability goals. Addition...

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) plays an instrumental role in the diagnosis and follow-up of several retinal and choroidal diseases such as macular degeneration, vascular occlusion, and inflammation. Recently, OCT studies of intraocular tumors evaluated the intrinsic optical characteristics of choroidal tumors imaged using enhanced depth imaging OCT (EDI-OCT). Among body structures, the chor...
