Cloud computing has become an attractive target for attackers as the mainstream technologies in the cloud, such as the virtualization and multitenancy, permit multiple users to utilize the same physical resource, thereby posing the so-called problem of internal facing security. Moreover, the traditional network-based intrusion detection systems (IDSs) are ineffective to be deployed in the cloud...

In this paper, it is described how a multiple criteria decision analysis software tool, the Intelligent Decision System (IDS), can be used to help business self-assessment. Following a brief outline of a model for assessing business innovation capability and the IDS software, the process of using IDS to implement different types of assessment questions is discussed. It is demonstrated that IDS ...

During the last 2 decades, the number of studies focusing on the experience, assessment, and treatment of pain in older persons with dementia has increased considerably [30]. One major conclusion of those studies [30] is that pain is still undertreated in this population due to the complexity of reliable pain assessment, which is a prerequisite for effective pain treatment. Unfortunately, these...

BACKGROUND The intubation difficulty scale (IDS) has been used as a validated difficulty score to define difficult intubation (DI). The purpose of this study is to identify airway assessment factors and total airway score (TAS) for predicting DI defined by the IDS. METHODS There were 305 ASA physical status 1-2 patients, aged 19-70 years, who underwent elective surgery with endotracheal intub...

Supplier assessment has become increasingly important to a business and getting a right supplier can bring real competitive advantages, whilst failure in supplier selection can lead to significant operational and financial consequences to a point of jeopardising the survival of the business. In this paper, the application of the Intelligent Decision System (IDS) to supplier assessment for a lar...

The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between lifestyle and attachment to God with depression with the mediating role of quality of life (QoL) i...

The performance of superconducting insertion devices (IDs) depends strongly on the magnetic field quality. Before installing IDs in synchrotron light sources the characterization and precise measurements of their magnetic properties are of fundamental importance. Improvements in magnetic field measurement technology of conventional, i.e. permanent magnet based IDs, made significant progress dur...
