As experience with Electronic Medical Record (EMR) implementations increases, new knowledge is gained on how to make these implementations more successful. Recently, several new conceptual frameworks described in the literature provide a richer understanding of what makes an EMR implementation successful. Using the systematic review process, we attempt to integrate the various frameworks into a...

Mobile computing is one of the breakthrough technologies of today with over three billion mobile phones in use. As the computing power and capabilities of the devices are rapidly improving, software has become a crucial issue in the mobile marketplace. Indeed, the current trend is towards converged communication where Web resources integrate seamlessly with mobile systems. Platforms, runtimes, ...

In analysing proposals for new sources of development funding, there are several issues that arise across the board. What is the role of new sources in relation to existing overseas development assistance? Should we be seeking new sources that generate a double dividend? Can the key elements of a proposal be achieved by another route? What should be the fiscal architecture? Is there a modern tr...

Poor understanding of the flow behavior granular biomass material poses great challenges for bioenergy industry, as equipment functioning time is significantly reduced by handling issues like screw feeder clogging and hopper arching. In this work, loblolly pine chips, including mass rate critical outlet width, in a wedge-shaped investigated combining physical experiments numerical simulations. ...

Predicting the inner displacements of deep vertical shafts during excavation process has been a difficult task considering geological, structural, and constructional influences. In fact, two-dimensional (2D) analytical solution based on retaining wall model remains insufficient for understanding actual behavior an excavation. This is because deformation becomes complicated due to unexpected arc...
