Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCLIENTS’ SATISFACTION WITH REFERRAL SYSTEM IN KARBALAAli A. Kadhim AbutiheenReferral is a dynamic process and it had been recognized as crucial since the Alma Ata declaration in 1978. Hospitals are overcrowded with patients who could be more cheaply treated in smaller facilities is a com-mon feature of poorly functioning Referral System (RS). Client Satisfaction (CS) is an important parameter in the assessment of health care quality. A descriptive cross … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 20 Dec 2013 · 6,669 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEmpirical Analysis of Employees with Tertiary Education Occupational ImbalancesAndrei B. Ankudinov, Oleg V. LebedevHigh percentage of graduates (among the highest in the world) with university degrees combined with unacceptably low level of utilization of acquired qualifications and generally low quality of education in the majority of Russian universities result in huge structural imbalances. The article presents quantitative estimates of disproportions between the educational levels of employees with higher education and their professional occupation … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 10 · 10 Oct 2013 · 6,814 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAN EFFICIENT CELL PLACEMENT USING GRAVITATIONAL SEARCH ALGORITHMSRose Al Qasem, Taisir EldosIn modern chip design, cell placement is a stage in which cells representing well-defined functions are assigned physical locations, in a way that optimizes the total area and routing length. Cell placement is an NP-complete problem and the exact solution is generally far from reach for a practically sized instance. Hence, diversified heuristic algorithms are used to solve this problem. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 8 · 25 Jun 2013 · 7,375 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNew Biological Dietary Feed Supplement for Laying Hens with Microelements Based on Duckweed (Lemna minor)Zuzanna Witkowska, Agnieszka Saeid, Katarzyna Chojnacka et al.In this study the applicability of enriched duckweed (Lemna minor) as a dietary supplement witch microelements is reported. In our previous studies, the technology of new feed additives with microelements based on duckweed biomass was elaborated. Here, we report the evaluation of the properties of a new product. The effect of duckweed enriched with microelements on the productivity parameters of … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 31 Jan 2013 · 8,554 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInsulin Pump Therapy in Type 1 Diabetes-Merging Technology with Diabetes CareH. ThabitThe use of insulin pump therapy has been increasing over the past number of years in many countries. The Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) have proven that better glycaemic control with fewer hypoglycemic events is achievable with insulin pump therapy. The delivery of subcutaneous insulin through an insulin pump mimics physiological insulin delivery better than Multiple Daily Injection of … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 22 May 2012 · 7,208 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractContact with Nature and Children’s Wellbeing in Educational SettingsGiuseppe Carrus, Sabine Pirchio, Ylenia Passiatore et al.Problem statement: The study explores the role of the spatial-physical features of the environment for the functioning of educational institutions. Previous research in the field of environmental psychology showed how physical characteristics of learning environments might be linked to positive or negative outcomes in terms of learning attitudes and behaviors. In particular, there is consistent empirical evidence showing that contact … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 26 Mar 2012 · 14,402 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLow Pass Filter Model for Chemical Sensors in Response to Gases and OdorsMahmoud Z. IskandaraniDesign and Modeling multi-gap sensing odor system for the objectives of odor recognition, classification and correlation are carried out. The model illustrates the low pass functionality of the multi-gap sensor acting as a filter for odors. Problem statement: Odor filtering is an important issue in today's world. In addition knowing the original material that an odor belongs to even after … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 17 Feb 2012 · 6,814 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetention Pond Sediment Accumulation Prediction using Monte Carlo SimulationSupiah Shamsudin, Abd Rashid Mohd Darom, Irma Norazurah Mohamad, Azmi Ab RahmanProblem statement: A study in Malaysia had been carried out to predict the sediment accumulation in urban detention ponds. Suspended sediment is pollutant of primary concern to the river that results in adverse environmental effect. Detention pond becomes a practical approach to this problem. Suspended sediment that settled in stormwater detention pond, can bring effect to the detention pond functions. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 30 Jan 2012 · 7,531 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation on Dystonia: An OverviewSergio Machado, Oscar Arias-Carrion, Flávia Paes et al.Problem statement: Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) is a noninvasive procedure whereby a pulsed magnetic field stimulates electrical activity in the brain. Dystonia is characterized by several disabling symptoms for which effective, mechanism-based treatments remain elusive. Approach: Consequently, more advanced non-invasive therapeutic methods were required. A possible method to modulate brain activity and potentially viable for use in clinical practice … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 29 Jul 2011 · 10,035 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnhancing the Color Set Partitioning in Hierarchical Tree (SPIHT) Algorithm Using Correlation TheoryM. Santhi, R. S.D. Wahida BanuProblem statement: Efficient color image compression algorithm is essential for mass storage and the transmission of the image. The compression efficiency of the Set Partitioning in Hierarchical Tree (SPIHT) coding algorithm for color images is improved by using correlation theory. Approach: In this study the correlation between the color channels are used to propose the new algorithm. The correlation between … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 8 · 16 Jul 2011 · 6,622 accessesView PDFCite
