Abstract. Part of the remit public sector management includes planning and reflecting on capital expenditure new technology. With this in mind, role that information systems play supporting improvements e‐government service delivery to stakeholder groups continues attract much attention. The authors paper seek define scope evaluation plays within sector. In particular, assess whether organizations might benefit from use established ex‐ante techniques, when applied analyse impact systems....
We report the first observations of three-dimensional morphology cone photoreceptors in living human retina. Images were acquired with a high-speed adaptive optics (AO) spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) camera. The AO system consisted Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor and bimorph mirror (AOptix) that measured corrected ocular aberrations at closed-loop rate 12 Hz. was positioned between XY mechanical scanners subject's eye. SD-OCT superluminescent diode 512 pixel line scan...
Background— Current guidelines recommend the use of coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring for intermediate-risk patients; however, potential role CAC among individuals who have no risk factors (RFs) is less established. We sought to examine relationship between presence and burden traditional RFs prediction all-cause mortality. Methods Results— The study cohort consisted 44 052 consecutive asymptomatic free known heart disease referred computed tomography assessment CAC. following were...
The potential prognostic value for survival of nutritional status in cirrhotics after adjusting Child-Pugh classification and Model End-Stage Liver Disease has not been evaluated.We used Kaplan-Meier Cox proportional hazards regression models to identify factors associated with mortality a cohort 222 [M/F:145/77 median age 52 (18-68) years] prospectively collected parameters as well modified subjective global assessment, Royal Free Hospital-Subjective Global Assessment index. Follow-up was...
Background Recent studies of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki A-bomb survivors, together with some (but not all) cohorts exposed occupationally or medically to ionizing radiation, have found an increasing trend in mortality from non-malignant disease radiation dose. The aim this study was establish whether such a could be large cohort employees UK nuclear industry.
Government organisations have been shifting to cloud-based services in order reduce their total investments IT infrastructures and resources (e.g. data centers), as well capitalise on cloud computing's numerous rewards. However, just like any other technology there are also concerns over the potential risks of implementing technologies. Such paucity scholarly literature focusing computing from a governmental context confirm need for exploratory research draw lessons government authorities...
Abstract This essay examines the consequences of technology for how music reaches people and reach music. It is argued that new media technologies, particularly Internet, create territorializations space affect. The spatial distribution wrought by technologies provides an opportunity cultural studies to bring centre study media. By so doing we can better understand processes as not only industrial ones but geography, audience fan, thereby de-centre production consumption sites critique....
A short-term training program involving 2 h of daily exercise at 59% peak O2 uptake (VO2max) repeated for 10-12 consecutive days was employed to determine the significance adaptations in energy metabolic potential on alterations metabolism and substrate utilization working muscle. The initial VO2max determined before eight male subjects 53.0 +/- 2.0 (SE) ml.kg-1.min-1. Analysis samples obtained by needle biopsy from vastus lateralis muscle (0 min) 15, 60, 99 min indicated that average...
Research to date about the English government’s policy make schools independent of local authorities (LAs) has looked at ‘macro’ level national and ‘micro’ institution. The study which this article is a part, explores changes ‘meso’ – locality. analyses interviews in three LAs with 15 headteachers whose were well positioned locally. We sought understand how why they responded changing environment. applied Bourdieu’s concepts forms capital model relationships between ground explanations their...
We examine the benefits of using an ontology and knowledge graph (KG) approach in developing maintaining discrete-event simulation (DES) models. Ontologies provide a standardised language, enabling structured representation domain enhancing model accuracy, reliability, transfer. applied Knowledge Graphs represent physical assets processes, integration diverse data sources, model’s relevance. Together, they enable creation digital twins to support advanced analytics informed decision-making....
In previous research we established using a short-term (5–7 days) training model that increases in muscle oxidative potential are not prerequisite for the characteristic energy metabolic adaptations (lower lactate, glycogen depletion, and phosphocreatine hydrolysis) observed during prolonged exercise. To investigate whether increased aerobic further potentiates adaptive response, seven healthy male volunteers [maximal O2 uptake (VO2max) = 45.1 +/- 1.1 (SE) ml.kg-1.min-1] engaged an 8-wk...
New product development is an important aspect of service marketing. Information, however, sparse on the actual processes that are used by firms to develop these new products. Utilizing a case study approach this article traces for major UK based financial institution. Through in‐depth examination it was found complex system used. The authors were able identify number factors essential successful product.
Summary. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect post‐tetanic potentiation on low frequency fatigue in adult human quadriceps muscle. Sixteen subjects (10 male and six female) performed three 60 s sets knee extension exercise order induce (reduction torque output at 10 20 Hz). potentiating stimulus (a maximal voluntary contraction) induced a 58% increase twitch tension ( P t ) during pre‐fatigue state. Immediately following fatiguing exercise, X ± SE, Nm) Hz (submaximal...
Using baffles in exhaust mufflers is known to improve their transmission loss. The baffle cut ratio should affect the muffler performance analogous a shell-and-tube heat exchanger. To authors' knowledge, there no previous assessment reported literature of effects that configuration has on acoustic response and back pressure. This investigation presents parametric study effect loss pressure drop predicted. (i) spacing, (ii) number holes, (iii) hole distribution for was investigated. Results...
Purpose – To make observations of the need for a radical change in way that public services are delivered, based upon compelling UK evidence.
In this paper, we provide a review of the current efforts to develop LLM agents, which are autonomous agents that leverage large language models. We examine memory management approaches used in these agents. One crucial aspect is their long-term memory, often implemented using vector databases. describe how databases utilized store and retrieve information Moreover highlight open problems, such as separation different types memories over agent's lifetime. Lastly, propose several topics for...
In Europe almost all countries have implemented some form of e-government, not to mention the UK and Norway which are now both well into their sixth year e-government implementation. These six years seen various strategic plans formulated, also intermittently postponed in two countries. Using empirical research this paper examines strategies adopted by context aligning central local government for implementing services. While technical, political social issues considered as key areas be...
