BACKGROUND Social media and mobile applications that allow people to work anywhere are changing the way people can contribute and collaborate. OBJECTIVE We sought to determine the feasibility of using mobile workforce technology to validate the locations of automated external defibrillators (AEDs), an emergency public health resource. METHODS We piloted the use of a mobile workforce applica...

Western models of public relations tend to dominate the discipline, but the efficiency of such models in light of global public relations and the richness of alternative – particularly South East Asian – approaches will be interrogated in this paper. There are few scholars who take a critical approach to public relations practice, or consider the significance and practice of public relations in...

The device discovery time of Bluetooth is prohibitively long. This may significantly impact many mobile applications. In this work, we start by analyzing the frequency matching of Bluetooth, the major component of delay in its device discovery, for both versions V1.2 and V1.1 specifications. We then propose a new scheme called Dual Inquiry Scan to reduce the delay. The result is a reduction of ...

Digital technology has the potential to transform mental healthcare by connecting patients, services and health data in new ways. Digital online and mobile applications can offer patients greater access to information and services and enhance clinical management and early intervention through access to real-time patient data. However, substantial gaps exist in the evidence base underlying these...

BACKGROUND Gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM) account for a disproportionate burden of new HIV infections in the United States. Mobile technology presents an opportunity for innovative interventions for HIV prevention. Some HIV prevention apps currently exist; however, it is challenging to encourage users to download these apps and use them regularly. An iterative research...

Wetlands constitute a significant source of life since they incorporate unique habitats with endemic and migrant species. Thus they contribute to the preservation of high global biodiversity and are under protection and special consideration. However, they suffer degradation because of intensification of agriculture, increase in pollution rates and poor water management practices. Calcareous fe...

The prevalence of melanocytic naevi in children correlates with sun exposure and may serve as an objective population risk indicator of future melanoma incidence. The aim was to investigate if mobile teledermatology could offer a valid methodology compared with standard manual, face-to-face counting of naevi on the back of children. Ninety-seven children aged 7-16 years were enrolled. One derma...

The application of Hilberman's theorem to construct a simple proof of a theorem on semi-indefinite networks is discussed.
