On Medical Informatics

This paper summarizes the author's point of view of defining medical informatics, to stimulate further discussions on how this "newly emerging discipline" should further proceed. We realize that the term "informatics" is related rather to t...

Recommendations of the International Medical Informatics Association (IMIA) on Education in Health and Medical Informatics

The International Medical Informatics Association (IMIA) agreed on international recommendations in health informatics/medical informatics education. These should help to establish courses, course tracks or even complete programs in this fi...

A Primer on Aspects of Cognition for Medical Informatics

As a multidisciplinary field, medical informatics draws on a range of disciplines, such as computer science, information science, and the social and cognitive sciences. The cognitive sciences can provide important insights into the nature o...

MEDICAL BIOTECHNOLOGY FOR DIAGNOSTICS AND THERAPEUTICS

Medical biotechnology is a fundamental area of modern healthcare, combining molecular biology, genetics, bioengineering, and computer sciences to improve disease diagnosis and treatment. Harnessing the power of biological systems and biomol...

CSNTSteg: Color Spacing Normalization Text Steganography Model to Improve Capacity and Invisibility of Hidden Data

The rapid growth of online communication has increased the demand for secure communication. Most government entities, healthcare providers, the legal sector, financial and banking, and other industries are vulnerable to information security...

Enhancing VAT compliance in the retail industry: The role of socio-economic determinants and tax knowledge moderation

Despite tax being a fundamental method to redistribute wealth and achieve a sustainable economic and social system, tax agencies and institutions in most countries are struggling with low tax collections. This issue is often attributed to t...

Exact and Evolutionary Algorithms for Synchronization of Public Transportation Timetables Considering Extended Transfer Zones

This article addresses timetable synchronization in public transportation, an important problem in modern smart cities, in order to guarantee a proper quality of service to citizens. Two variants of the bus timetabling synchronization probl...

Techno-economic feasibility analyses of grid- connected solar photovoltaic power plants for small scale industries of Punjab, Pakistan

The globally soaring energy prices and electricity shortfall are major hurdles in the economic development of Pakistan. To cope with periodic power outages, small and medium enterprise (SME) business owners have to fall back on alternate po...

ABCD: advanced blockchain DSR algorithm for MANET to mitigate the different security threats

Abstract Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) facilitate data communication across multiple nodes and hop stations, characterized by their dynamic topology. This inherent flexibility, however, makes MANETs vulnerable to various security threats,...

Erratum to: Search for resonant and nonresonant production of pairs of dijet resonances in proton-proton collisions at s $$ \sqrt{s} $$ = 13 TeV

Genetic Algorithms in Astronomy and Astrophysics

This paper aims at demonstrating, through examples, the applicability of genetic algorithms to wide classes of problems encountered in astronomy and astrophysics. Genetic algorithms are heuristic search techniques that incorporate, in a com...

A search for $t\bar{t}$ resonances with the ATLAS detector in 2.05 fb−1 of proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 7~\mathrm{TeV}$

Abstract A search for top quark pair resonances in final states containing at least one electron or muon has been performed with the ATLAS experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The search uses a data sample corresponding to an integ...

Engaging Older Adults to Guide the Development of Passive Home Health Monitoring to Support Aging in Place

By 2050, most adults aged 65 and older in the United States will want to age independently at home, a goal that will strain healthcare resources. Adults aged 50 and older (N = 112) were recruited for study participation between 2018 and 202...

Legged Robots That Balance

This book, by a leading authority on legged locomotion, presents exciting engineering and science, along with fascinating implications for theories of human motor control. It lays fundamental groundwork in legged locomotion, one of the leas...

Efficient Edge-Based Image Interpolation Method Using Neighboring Slope Information

This paper presents an image interpolation method that provides superior performance with low complexity. Applying a simple linear method achieves time-efficient interpolation, but often produces artifacts; however, applying other complex m...

Emergence of chaotic resonance controlled by extremely weak feedback signals in neural systems

IntroductionChaotic resonance is similar to stochastic resonance, which emerges from chaos as an internal dynamical fluctuation. In chaotic resonance, chaos-chaos intermittency (CCI), in which the chaotic orbits shift between the separated ...
