eHealth systems and applications are increasingly focused on supporting consumers to directly engage with use health care services. Involving end users in the design of these is critical ensure a generation usable effective products systems. Often engaged for participatory processes not actual representatives general population, developers may have limited understanding about how well they might represent full range intended products. As consequence, resulting information technology (IT)...
Cavernous angiomas are rare, surgically remediable vascular malformations of the CNS that may be characterized by hemorrhage, seizures, or focal neurologic deficits. Three families with cavernous have been described, and we report two more. In first, mother died suddenly headache. A pontine angioma was found at autopsy in one son. His brother has similar signs a radiographically proved mass. The brother's son seizures calcified cerebral lesion. second family, father had excised from caudale....
Most countries face an ageing population, increasing chronic diseased, and constrictions on budget for providing health services. Involving patients in their own care by allowing them access to patient data is a trend seen many places. Data the type level of citizens have three was gathered from public sources. each individual country presented experiences Denmark, Estonia Australia are examined whilst similarities differences explored. The discussion adopts citizen-centred perspective...
Objectives To assess benefits of telephone-delivered health mentoring in community-based chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Design Cluster randomised controlled trial. Setting Tasmanian general practices: capital city (11), large rural (3), medium (1) and small (16). Participants Patients were invited (1207) from practitioner (GP) databases with COPD diagnosis and/or tiotropium prescription, response rate 49% (586), refused (176) excluded (criteria: smoking history or previous...
This paper presents our design and experience with a microkernel-inspired approach to host networking called Snap. Snap is userspace system that supports Google's rapidly evolving needs flexible modules implement range of network functions, including edge packet switching, virtualization for cloud platform, traffic shaping policy enforcement, high-performance reliable messaging RDMA-like service. has been running in production over three years, supporting the extensible communication several...
We are accustomed to thinking of computers as fail-stop, especially the cores that execute instructions, and most system software implicitly relies on assumption. During VLSI era, processors passed manufacturing tests were operated within specifications have insulated us from this fiction. As fabrication pushes towards smaller feature sizes more elaborate computational structures, increasingly specialized instruction-silicon pairings introduced improve performance, we observed ephemeral...
Forest inventories play an important role in enabling informed decisions to be made for the management and conservation of forest resources; however, process collecting inventory information is laborious. Despite advancements mapping technologies allowing forests digitized finer granularity than ever before, it still common measurements collected using simple tools such as calipers, measuring tapes, hypsometers. Dense understory vegetation complex structures can present substantial...
ABSTRACT Multipotential stem cells throughout the developing central nervous system have common properties. Among these is expression of intermediate filament protein nestin and brain fatty acid binding (B-FABP). To determine if mechanisms control transcription in CNS cells, regulatory elements two genes were mapped transgenic mice. A 257 basepair enhancer rat gene sufficient for embryonic neuroepithelium. This contains sites bound by class III POU proteins Brn-1, Brn-2, Brn-4, Tst-1. Only...
We present a qualitative study, undertaken over period of nine months, older people facing the challenges learning to use interactive technology, specifically personal computers (PCs) and internet. examine range causal explanations (attributions) voiced by group in accounting for their difficulties with it. A discourse analysis these data reveals some factors (anxiety, age-related issues, being too busy learn need purpose new tools) that support work other researchers, while themes (issues...
To ensure carers of people with dementia receive support, community services increasingly use measures caregiver (carer) burden to assess for unmet need. This study used Bradshaw's taxonomy need explore the link between carer (normative need), service (expressed and carer's stated (felt need). mixed method exploratory compared received needs, 20 community-dwelling carer/care-recipient pairs. A simple one-item measure carers' felt more was significantly related stress as measured on GHQ-30....
Gross anatomy instruction in medical curricula involve a range of resources and activities including dissection, prosected specimens, anatomical models, radiological images, surface anatomy, textbooks, atlases, computer-assisted learning (CAL). These are underpinned by the expectation that students will actively engage self-directed study (SDS) to enhance their knowledge understanding anatomy. To gain insight into preclinical versus clinical students' preferences for SDS gross whether these...
Internationally forest biomass is considered to be a valuable renewable energy feedstock. However, utilization of harvesting residues challenging because they are highly varied, generally low quality and usually widely distributed across timber sites. Factors related the collection, processing transport impose constraints on economic viability residue operations impact their supply from dispersed feedstock locations. To optimize decision-making about suitable locations for plants intending...
The application of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) beneath the forest canopy provides a potentially valuable alternative to ground-based measurement techniques in areas dense cover and undergrowth. This research presents results from study consumer-grade UAS flown under challenging terrain conditions. was deployed assess under-canopy photogrammetry as an field measurements for obtaining stem diameters well ultra-high-resolution (~400,000 points/m2) 3D models sites. There were 378 tape-based...
Fast DRAM increasingly dominates infrastructure spend in large scale computing environments and this trend will likely worsen without an architectural shift. The cost of deployed memory can be reduced by replacing part the conventional with lower albeit slower media, thus creating a tiered system where both tiers are directly addressable cached. But, poses numerous challenges highly multi-tenant warehouse-scale setting. diversity its applications motivates application-transparent solution...

In order award hosting event most suitable organizer, owners require hosts...
Forest mensuration remains critical in managing our forests sustainably, however, capturing such measurements costly, time-consuming and provides minimal amounts of information as diameter at breast height (DBH), location, height. Plot scale remote sensing techniques show great promise extracting detailed forest rapidly cheaply, they have been held back from large-scale implementation due to the complex workflows required utilize them. This work is focused on describing evaluating an...
Blockchain applications have received a lot of attention in recent years. They provide enormous benefits and advantages to many different sectors.
