Windows CE 3.0, also known as Pocket PC for palm-sized devices, is becoming increasingly popular among professionals and corporate enterprises. It is estimated that by 2004 Windows CE will have a share of 40% of the marketplace for palm-sized devices. The documented vulnerabilities against a major competitor of WinCE, Palm, and the proliferation of palm-sized devices highlight the need for secu...

Digital libraries have great potential to improve the educational experience. There are a wide variety of such repositories, especially those that focus specifically on education. However, a survey of existing work shows relatively few that have both a narrow subject focus and ample affordances for content browsing. We present our prototype design and implementation for the HumanCentered Comput...

Measurement of immunoglobulins (Ig) and of complement component C3 in human serum by automated and manual nephelometric techniques is tedious, and the effective linear range is too narrow. We describe a laser nephelometer/reagent system for measuring serum proteins by the use of forward light scatter (which enhances the ratio of reaction/blank), electronic blank subtraction, laser light (632 nm...

We examined the mechanism by which hypertriglyceridemia interferes with the Roche Diagnostics "Amylochrome" procedure for measurement of amylase in lactescent samples with normal and above-normal amylase activity. The serum blank recommended in the Amylochrome protocol to compensate for lactescence remains inappropriately turbid, compared with the test, and is partly responsible for the underes...

in this work, an inverse finite element formulation was modified for considering material anisotropy in obtaining blank shape and forming severity of deep drawn orthotropic parts. in this procedure, geometry of final part and thickness of initial blank sheet were known. after applying ideal forming formulations between material points of initial blank and final shape, an equation system was obt...
