Mobile health information system: a mobile app. to aid health workers relate health information.

Healthcare is conventionally regarded as an important determinant in promoting the general health and wellbeing of peoples around the world. And in doing this, health education and information plays a major role, because it is a reliable medium and the most effective way to reduce morbidity and mortality in developing countries. We need to deliver vital messages and information to people at the lower quarter of the society, this information can be used for changing behaviors’ and practices, and this in turn can save and protect lives. It is in this context that the use of mobile phones in delivering vital health information and effective fieldwork reporting is of significance. This project seeks to use the availability of mobile service across the urban and rural areas to benefit healthcare.KEY WORDS: Health Information System; Mobile Health Information System, Medical Informatio

Technology adoption and factor proportions in open economies : theory and evidence from the global computer industry

Theories of international trade assume that all countries use similar and exogenous technologies in the production of any good. This paper relaxes this assumption. The marriage of literatures on biased technical change and trade yields a tractable theory, which predicts that differences in factor endowments and intellectual property rights bias technical change toward particular factor intensities, and thus unit factor input requirements can vary across economies. Using data on net exports of a single industry, computers, intellectual property rights and factor endowments for 73 countries during 1980-2000, the paper shows that once technological choices are considered, countries with different factor endowments can become net exporters of the same product.Technology Industry,Economic Theory&Research,ICT Policy and Strategies,E-Business,Labor Policies

Weak Chaos in large conservative system -- Infinite-range coupled standard maps

We study, through a new perspective, a globally coupled map system that essentially interpolates between simple discrete-time nonlinear dynamics and certain long-range many-body Hamiltonian models. In particular, we exhibit relevant similarities, namely (i) the existence of long-standing quasistationary states (QSS), and (ii) the emergence of weak chaos in the thermodynamic limit, between the present model and the Hamiltonian Mean Field model, a strong candidate for a nonxtensive statistical mechanical approach.Comment: 6 pages, 2 figures.

Strictly Positive Definite Kernels on a Product of Spheres II

We present, among other things, a necessary and sufficient condition for the strict positive definiteness of an isotropic and positive definite kernel on the cartesian product of a circle and a higher dimensional sphere. The result complements similar results previously obtained for strict positive definiteness on a product of circles [Positivity, to appear, arXiv:1505.01169] and on a product of high dimensional spheres [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 435 (2016), 286-301, arXiv:1505.03695]
