    Information Technology for the Practicing Physician

    Joan M. Kiel,

    This book describes the effects of technology on office workflow, patient registration, patient records, prescription writing, patient education, prac-tice finances, credentialing, the management of managed care, messaging, and remote medicine. The first section, “Utilizing Technology to Arrange a Physician Visit,” provides information of the technology utilized before the patient visit and includes examples of physicians who utilize e-mail and Web sites to attract patients, electronic scheduling systems that decrease waiting time, and registration systems that verify insurance information.The second section, “Utilizing Technology to Enhance the Physician Visit,” demon-strates how technology is utilized when the patient is in treatment and/or follow-up care. Focusing on electronic medical records, electronic referral systems, billing and collection systems, and follow-up patient education and discharge information, the section portrays the “future physician office visit.” The third section, “Utilizing Technology to Enhance Physician Prac-tice Operations,” focuses on the physician practic

    Digital Convergence – Libraries of the Future

    John Vince,

    This book is about libraries. To traditional and new library users the most immediate effect is on access. What is (perhaps glibly) referred to as the “Google generation” has quite different expectations about access to information and quite different assumptions about how research is to be done. Across the spectrum of research – whether academic, commercial, creative or personal – users expect speed and convenience in work, comprehensiveness combined with sensitivity in search engines, and the capacity to manipulate large data sets.

    Information Communication Technologies for Enhanced Education and Learning

    Lawrence Tomei,

    Many Western nations face a critical shortage of skilled professionals in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). However, despite abundant opportunities, few women prepare themselves for careers in these fields. Several of those concerned with the problem have proposed that new media programming, such as television dramas with women engineers, computer professionals, and/or engineers in leading roles, might help attract more women to STEM fields. This paper identifies a theoretical rationale for a media centered strategy, and describes a pilot study whose data suggest that a media-centered approach might have some success in producing greater interest among women in pursuing STEM careers, particularly information technology careers.

    A Toolkit for Creative Teaching in Post-Compulsory Education

    Linda Eastwood, Jennie Coates, Liz Dixon, Josie Harvey, Chris Ormondroyd, Sarah Williamson,

    The post-compulsory education and training (PCET) sector encompasses a rich and diverse mix of teachers, trainers and learners. The learners include young people and adults; increasingly it also includes learners who are being offered teaching and learning which combines a school, a college and a selected workplace experience. Some learners attend courses because they want to and others because they are required to be there. The subject areas are equally diverse and varied including traditional academic and vocational disciplines, training and professional qualifications and recreational subjects. The courses and qualifications span all levels from pre-entry to degree level and everything in between.

    Methods and Applications for Advancing Distance Education Technologies

    Mahbubur Rahman Syed,

    This chapter describes a new automatic digital content generation system we have developed. Recently, some universities, including Hosei University, have been offering students opportunities to take distance interactive classes over the Internet from overseas. When such distance lectures are delivered in English to Japanese students, there is a pressing need to provide materials for review after class, such as video content on a CD-ROM or on a Web site. To meet this need, the authors have developed a new automatic content generation system, which enables the complete archiving of lectures including video/audio content, synchronized presentation materials, and handwritten traces on virtual whiteboards. The content is generated in real time and is immediately available at the end of the class. In addition, this system incorporates a unique video search algorithm which adopts a phonetic-based search technology. This enables quick review of the video content by typed-in keywords. The system can automatically create a vast amount of digital content and provide students with an efficient learning tool.

    Strategic applications of distance learning technologies

    Mahbubur Rahman Syed,

    Chapter I discusses a new generation of e-learning development, based on synchronous groupware applications integration, providing improved interactivity and pro-human relations, allows richer training experiences far beyond a virtual classroom. Despite WWW service evolution, e-conferencing multimedia applications remain “killer applications” and insensitive to resources degradation, in fact, the quality of service (QoS) provided by the network is still a limitation impairing their performance. Such applications have found in multicast technology an ally contributing for their efficient implementation and scalability. Additionally, considering QoS as design goal at application level becomes crucial for groupware development, enabling QoS proactivity to applications. Congregating these technological contributions, an adaptive platform has been developed integrating public domain multicast tools, applied to a Web-based distance learning system. The system is user-centered (e-student), aiming at good pedagogical practices and proactive usability for multimedia and network resources. The services provided, including QoS adapted interactive multimedia multicast conferences (MMC), are fully integrated and transparent to end-users. QoS adaptation, when treated systematically in tolerant real-time applications, denotes advantages in group scalability and QoS sustainability in heterogeneous and unpredictable environments such as the Internet.

    Management of technology

    This paper addresses the question of how enterprises can improve their competitiveness through the acquisition and development of technology, and hence how countries are able to raise the level of industrial development and grow their GDP. It takes the example of East Asia to demonstrate how fast economic growth can be achieved through the "stages" approach to technology acquisition and development. It also provides some case studies of technology transfer to China as a means of illustrating how successful transfer can be achieved and the problems that can be encountered. Finally, some comparisons are made with, and among, the Arab countries and an attempt is made to draw some lessons for the development of the Arab world from experiences gained elsewhere.

    iLearning How to Create an Innovative Learning Organization

    Mark Salisbury,

    iLearning shows how to represent organizational knowledge by identifying the underlying performance objectives of knowledge work. Using performance objectives to manage their knowledge, organizations can embed training, best practices, and expert advice in their collaborative work processes. They can also use this detailed knowledge to improve their processes. However, the biggest impact for organizations that embrace iLearning is that they know what they know when they are facing new challenges. This existing knowledge becomes their most powerful fuel for innovation.

    Digital Video Processing. Second Edition

    A. Murat Tekalp,

    The first edition of this book (1995) was the first comprehensive textbook on digital video processing. However, digital video technologies and video processing algorithms were not mature enough then. Digital TV standards were just being written, digital cinema was not even in consideration, and digital video cameras and DVD were just entering the market. Hence, the first edition contained some now-outdated methods/algorithms and technologies compared with the state of the art today, and obviously missed important developments in the last 20 years. The first edition was organized into 25 smaller chapters on what were then conceived to be important topics in video processing, each intended to be covered in one or two lectures during a one-semester course. Some methods covered in the first edition—e.g., pel-recursive motion estimation, vector quantization, fractal compression, and model-based coding—no longer reflect the state of the art.

    Digital video processing for engineers

    Michael Parker, Suhel Dhanani,

    Debugging video systems can be daunting, especially when the only visible symptom is the output of a black picture. Many trace components are ailable to provide visibility into the system and narrow down the location of the bug which is causing the symptom. Careful use of these components can save significant time during development.

    Cryptography in C and C++

    Micheal Welschenbach,

    CRYPTOGRAPHY IS AN ANCIENT ART, well over two thousand years old. The need to keep certain information secret has always existed, and attempts to preserve secrets have therefore existed as well. But it is only in the last thirty years that cryptography has developed into a science that has offered us needed security in our daily lives. Whether we are talking about automated teller machines, cellular telephones, Internet commerce, or computerized ignition locks on automobiles, there is cryptography hidden within. And what is more, none of these applications would work without cryptography! The history of cryptography over the past thirty years is a unique success story. The most important event was surely the discovery of public key cryptography in the mid 1970s. It was truly a revolution: We know today that things are possible that previously we hadn’t even dared to think about. Diffie and Hellman were the first to formulate publicly the vision that secure communication must be able to take place spontaneously. Earlier, it was the case that sender and receiver had first to engage in secret communication to establish a common key. Diffie and Hellman asked, with the naivety of youth, whether one could communicate secretly without sharing a common secret. Their idea was that one could encrypt information without a secret key, that is, one that no one else could know. This idea signaled the birth of public key cryptography. That this vision was more than just wild surmise was shown a few years later with the advent of the RSA algorithm.

    Multimedia Applications of the Wavelet Transform

    Claudia Kerstin Schremmer,

    This dissertation investigates novel applications of the wavelet transform in the analysis and compression of audio, still images, and video. In a second focal point, we evaluate the didactic potential of multimedia–enhanced teaching material for higher education. Most recently, some theoretical surveys have been published on the potential for a wavelet–based restoration of noisy audio signals. Based on these, we have developed a wavelet–based denoising program for audio signals that allows flexible parameter settings. It is suited for the demonstration of the potential of wavelet–based denoising algorithms as well as for use in teaching. The multiscale property of the wavelet transform can successfully be exploited for the detection of semantic structures in still images. For example, a comparison of the coefficients in the transformed domain allows the analysis and extraction of a predominant structure. This idea forms the basis of our semiautomatic edge detection algorithm that was developed during the present work. A number of empirical evaluations of potential parameter settings for the convolution–based wavelet transform and the resulting recommendations follow.

    Developing Creativity in Higher Education

    Norman Jackson, Martin Oliver, Malcolm Shaw, James Wisdom,

    This book has been co-created by many people. Many of the chapters were grown from conversations with academics or students, were captured in tran-scripts, working papers or notes of meetings and then reworked through further conversation with peers. We would like to thank everyone who contributed to the peer review process: Christine Sinclair, John Cowan, Russ Law, Michael Pittilo, Fred Buining, Richard Seel, John Biggs, Lewis Elton, Ron Barnett and Victor Borden. The book would have been very different without their critical and constructive contributions.
