Older adults want to live independently in their home for as long as possible, and technologies can support them with this goal. However, solutions to help with living alone are often designed from a technical perspective, ignoring the needs and preferences of older adults. This results in strong attitudes and feelings against, and limited adoption of, these technologies. In this chapter, the a...

In the current era, social media is considered as an emerging platform which connects people worldwide. this world of science and technology , a boon to pass information larger group population within fraction seconds . Even field medical dental does not remain untouched by reformed media.

country. Is there no way in which to break this wall of prejudice and opposition? These people are illiterate; scientific lectures do not interest them, and ordinarypropaganda leaves them untouched. But if entertainment can only be combined with such teaching, much might be accomplished. I would suggest coloured lantern slides as an aid to popularising vaccination. If vaccinators were but train...

Dozens of processors control every performance aspect of today’s automobiles, and not a single feature of the “vehicle experience” remains untouched by technology. Whether it’s climate control, engine control, or entertainment, there has been constant evolution of capabilities in manufacturer offerings over the last decade. One of the forces behind this evolution, the rapidly increasing perform...

Ricker compliant deconvolution spikes at the center lobe of the Ricker wavelet. It enables deconvolution to preserve and enhance seismogram polarities. Expressing the phase spectrum as a function of lag, it works by suppressing the phase at small lags. A byproduct of this decon is a pseudo-unitary (very clean) debubble filter where bubbles are lifted off the data while onset waveforms (usually ...

This article deals with automatic parallelization of static control programs. During the parallelization process the removal of memory related dependences is usually performed by translating the original program into single assignment form. This total data expansion has a very high memory cost. We present a technique of partial data expansion which leaves untouched the performances of the paral...

It is difficult to include all the subject-matter on public health chemistry within a small compass, as the scope of the subject is very big. The author is to be congratulated on having presented this very successfully in his treatise to students of public health chemistry in a very clear and simple manner. Within the narrow limit of 363 pages he has left few points untouched. We can safely rec...

Techniques for information hiding have become increasingly more sophisticated and widespread. With high-resolution digital images as carriers, detecting hidden messages has become considerably more difficult. This paper describes an approach to detecting hidden messages in images that uses a wavelet-like decomposition to build higher-order statistical models of natural images. Support vector ma...
