OBJECTIVE This study analyses the research output of India in malaria research in national and global context, as reflected in its publications output during 1998-2009. METHODS SCOPUS Citation database has been used to retrieve the publication data, which has been further analysed on several parameters including its growth, rank and global publications share, citation impact, overall share of...

The input-output table is comprehensive and detailed in describing the national economic system with complex economic relationships, which embodies information of supply and demand among industrial sectors. This paper aims to scale the degree of competition/collaboration on the global value chain from the perspective of econophysics. Global Industrial Strongest Relevant Network models were esta...

In this paper, a review of the role of input, output and instruction in second language acquisition is provided. Several pedagogical interventions in grammar instruction (e.g., processing instruction, input enhancement, structured output and collaborative output tasks) are presented and their effectiveness reviewed. A final and overall evaluation is provided at the end of the paper.

Product development is collaborative, involving multi-disciplinary functions and heterogeneous tools. Teamwork is essential through seamless tool integration and better co-ordination of human activities. This paper proposes to use workflow management as a mechanism to facilitate the teamwork in a collaborative product development environment where remote Web-based Decision Support Systems (Tele...

In this paper, we consider collaborative filtering as a ranking problem. We present a method which uses Maximum Margin Matrix Factorization and optimizes ranking instead of rating. We employ structured output prediction to optimize for specific non-uniform ranking scores. Experimental results show that our method gives very good ranking scores and scales well on collaborative filtering tasks.

We examine the strategic issues facing Logistics Service Providers (LSP) and the Information Technology (IT) options open to them. We conclude that “supply chain integration” and deploying EDI are, at best, short-term competitive advantages and will soon become competitive necessities. To identifjl opportunities for long-term competitive advantage, we then examine the emerging management issues...

Collaboration between mobile stations (MSs) may lead to a new form of wireless communication. on MS sides considerably improves signal detection performance, especially for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) transmission systems. In this study, novel detector collaboration system is proposed reduce the traffic volume inter-MS links. Multiple MSs in immediate vicinity are used collaboratively...

background and objective: co-authorship on writing articles is one of the indicators of reliability in scientific articles. due to the lack of information regarding to the rate of participation of the authors of articles in the ” iranian journal of pathology” this research with the aim of the survey of collaborative coefficients of article authors in this journal  from 2006 to 2012 was performe...
