A two phase research study was done to investigate remote work and remote management issues. In Phase 1, focus groups were carried out with remote managers and remote employees to identify key issues. The most common key issues dealt with communications, information technology, leadership and coaching, teamwork, building trust, and performance management. In the second phase, a questionnaire wa...

the bacterial population found in the gingival sulcus region in periodontitis consists of gram negative microorganisms; most of them are obligate anaerobes and capnophil, including porphyromonas, prevotella, fusobaclenuin, welinella, actinobacillus actinomycetem comitans, eiknella and capnocytohaga. this study has been carried out to investigate anaerobic and capnophilic bacteria from 206 speci...

This paper describes MyInfo, a novel interface for a personal news demonstrator that processes and combines content from TV and the web. We detail our design process from concept generation to focus group exploration to final design. Our design focuses on three issues: (i) ease-of-use, (ii) video summarization, and (iii) news personalization. With a single button press on the remote control, us...

In high-rise buildings, elevators must be safely and efficiently moving people during daytime. Generally, elevator up-peak traffic is predominant traffic between a lobby and various upper floors. Especially, the main expectation from elevators in buildings is increasing in a rush-hour time. Therefore, the passenger’s waiting time in their floor are increased. We can say that the services given ...

Coordinating distributed executions is achieved by two widely used approaches: process groups and transactions. Typically, the two represent a trade-oo in terms of the degrees of consistency and performance. By applying transaction concurrency control techniques to characterize and design process group multicast orderings, we aim to provide aspects of both ends of the trade-oo. In particular, w...

The elevator group control systems are the control systems that manage systematically, three or more elevators in order to efficiently transport the passengers. In the elevator group control system, the area-weight which determines the load biases of elevators is a control parameter closely related to the system performance. This correspondence proposes a fuzzy model based method to determine t...

In a tall building with multiple elevators, it is a notoriously di cult task to control the elevators in the most e cient manner [1].The system proposed in this paper contains two key ideas. First, it continuously generates dispatch functions by adaptation to changes in passenger tra c. Second, it tries to reduce passengers' waiting time by multiple elevator allocation when it is expected that ...
