Medical error taxonomies are used to report and analyse patient safety incidents. Medical error taxonomies can be generic or domain-specific. In comparing generic and domain-specific medical error taxonomies, the literature compares the information both type of taxonomies classify. There is little evidence the taxonomies have been compared in terms

The process of retrieving desired images from a large collection is widely used in applications of computer vision. In order to improve the retrieval performance an efficient and accurate system is required. Retrieving images based on the content i.e. color, texture, shape etc is called content based image retrieval (CBIR). The content is actually

Distributing digital document through insecure channel leads to the question of the integrity and the ownership of the file on the receiver’s side. Employing hash function and digital signature algorithms solves the difficulties of the receiver to proof the approval of the document from the sender as well as detecting if the file has been altered

In this paper we present the experimental implementation of dynamic spectrum access (DSA) algorithm using universal software radio peripheral (USRP) and GNU Radio. The setup contains two primary users and two cognitive radios or secondary users. One primary user is fixed and the other is allowed to change its position randomly. Depending upon the p

Resource efficient cryptographic primitives become fundamental for realizing both security and efficiency in embedded systems like RFID (Radio-Frequency IDentification) tags and sensor nodes. Among those primitives, lightweight block cipher plays a major role to secure RFID’s tag. One of the common lightweight block ciphers is PRESENT. In this pa

In this paper we have investigated the security of different variants the golden cryptography, and showed that all the variants of the cryptosystem are not secure against chosen-plaintext attack.Int.

An axisymmetric vibration analysis of an isotropic circular plate with a piezoceramic annular plate attached to it is presented. The annular plate is attached at the circular plate edge so that the radius of the circular plate is the inner radius of the annular plate. The piezoceramic annular plate is used as the radial in-plane load source. A free

The purpose of this research was to evaluate the quality of Safeer portal. “Safeer” is a portal through which a student can apply for any of the 86 available academic, administrative and financial services. It was launched on Sunday 29th of January 2009; to link the Saudi ministry of higher education to Saudi cultural missions around the world.

This paper discusses traffic problems in the world and emphasizes on Kuwait city as case study. Many of these problems can be solve by building a Traffic Management System based on a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). TMS is an innovative design for the road that saves time and money for the driver. This solution creates a city of intelligence, which c

A web application is an application that utilizes web and [web] browser technologies to accomplish one or more tasks over a network. Some researches uncovered that web applications or web-based tools, if effectively deployed, could enhance students learning experiences. This study aims to examine the awareness, level of usage and perceived usefulne
