We present an efficient method for the computation of homogenized coefficients divergence-form operators with random coefficients. The approach is based on a multiscale representation then implement numerically using finite-element hierarchical hybrid grids, which semi-implicit allowing significant gains in memory usage and execution time. Finally, we demonstrate efficiency our two- three-dimen...

This paper reports on one segment of a research project which investigates what faculty members perceive to be acting as barriers in their attempts to integrate [information and communication] technology into their teaching at a laptop university. A web-based questionnaire was used to collect information from 69/288 (24%) faculty members from a small U.A.E. university. From the data gathered, p...

This paper evaluates the acceptability, communication mode and use of audio computer-assisted self-interview (A-CASI) among minority pregnant women receiving prenatal care in six Washington, DC sites. A total of 2,913 women were screened for demographic eligibility (18+ years old, <29 weeks gestation, Black/African-American or Hispanic) and risk (smoking, environmental tobacco smoke exposure, d...

In the Current Century, permeant storage devices and methods of storing data changed from traditional HDD to SDD. this document, we discuss merge SSD. The Abbreviation SSHD is called solid-state hybrid disk. A mixture both secondary enhance performance system. Inside SSD, movement events occur without any user input. Recent research has suggested that SSD only Replacement storage. also good in ...

In the 1960s, using computers was synonymous with writing programs. The first generation of micro computers started to appear in the 1970s, computer users shared their source code and programs. During the 1980s, desktop personal computers were becoming common, and software packages became commercial products. During the 1990s, the power of personal computers increased remarkably, and hard disk ...

In this paper the elements of the CAPTCHA usability are analyzed. CAPTCHA, as a time progressive element in computer science, has been under constant interest of ordinary, professional as well as the scientific users of the Internet. The analysis is given based on the usability elements of CAPTCHA which are abbreviated as user-centric approach to the CAPTCHA. To demonstrate it, the specific typ...

The importance of location based service has been recently addressed in many literatures and thus various positioning schemes for outdoors as well as indoors have been introduced. However, there has been a practical issue of implementation over various positioning schemes, although accurate positioning performance can be achieved. In this paper, a practical indoor positioning scheme that effect...

OBJECTIVE Cognitive deficits that characterize schizophrenia are present in the prodrome, worsen with illness onset, and predict functional outcome. Cognitive dysfunction is thus a critical target for early intervention in young individuals with recent onset schizophrenia. METHOD This 2-site double-blind randomized controlled trial investigated cognitive training of auditory processing/verbal...
