Query's Reply Generating from Sensors Regarding the Consumer's Constraints Application Using MAS

6 pagesInternational audienceWe describe how to generate a reply to a consumer's query by taking in mind not only the needed information request but also the query constraints. The use of Directory Facilitator helps the consumer's interpreter locating an interface able to answer its demand and so, the supplier services that meet its needs. This interface by using a proxy cache is able, regarding the consumer constraints, to generate information replies to requests from earlier data acquisitions. Applying Multi-Agents System helps creating an effective consumer-supplier's interface with information treatments and data fusion processes. In this paper, we suppose software architecture and we show by an implementation how agents can handle and treat consumer requirements

Enteric fever resembling Malawi-Mozambique outbreak

A 47-year-old male with no known co-morbidities presented with hematochezia and multiple episodes of vomiting. He had a history of high-grade fever with chills, rigor, vomiting, and abdominal pain 3 weeks ago, for which he was treated with 5 days of IV antibiotics in another hospital. Examination revealed tremor, rigidity, hyperreflexia, bradykinesia, and hypophonic monotonous speech. Colonoscopy showed ileocolonic ulcers. Widal came positive. Treated as a case of Enteric fever with neurological complications such as parkinsonism, UMN signs, and gastrointestinal bleeding secondary to an ileal ulcer

Salmonella-related mycotic aneurysm: a rare but fatal condition

Salmonella species commonly causes gastrointestinal infection in humans. Occasionally they lead to serious complications such as mycotic aneurysms which are rare but potentially fatal. Mortality is high without timely intervention. The clinical presentation is variable and early diagnosis requires a high degree of clinical alertness. Here, we reported a case of mycotic aneurysm secondary to Salmonella enteritidis infection. The case highlights the need to evaluate all elderly patients with non-typhoid Salmonella bacteremia for possible endovascular infections

Evaluation of DNA Extraction Methods of Mule Dung

DNA isolation is a critical step in microbial community analysis of animal dung. DNA isolation from mule dung is challenging due to microbial diversity, composition and chemical nature of mule dung. Therefore, selection of an appropriate DNA isolation method is important to analyse the complete microbial diversity. In the current study, we evaluated the DNA isolation from mule dung samples (n=11) using QiAmp Mini stool kit as per manufacturer’s procedure with modifications. The results suggest that modifications in proprietary column based method improved the DNA quality and quantity suitable for mule dung microbial community analyses

Total Quality Management (TQM) in Iranian primary schools teachers

This paper aims to present the perception of primary school teachers in Shiraz city (Iran) regarding Total Quality Management (TQM) in education. It is an attempt to understand how these perceptions vary by demographic variable such as, gender & subject specialization (Arts and Sciences). Data were collected from 156 primary school teachers in Shiraz city (Iran) on the Bonstingle’s conceptualization of Deming’s 14 points Total Quality Management (TQM) in Education (2011) and were analyzed using SPSS version 18.0. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was employed to find out the significance of difference between variables subscales. Significant difference was found between male and female teachers in the perception of total quality management. Female teachers had higher mean score than male teachers. There is no significant difference between Arts and Sciences primary school teachers in the perception of TQM in education

Explanation of the Impact Scenarios of the Smart Growth Approach on the Sustainability of Rural Settlements (Case Study: Jiroft County)

In the current research, with the participation of managers, officials and academic experts, key drivers affecting the smart growth of rural settlements in Jiroft County have been identified and finally, scenarios effective on the formation of smart growth of rural settlements have been formulated. The research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical in terms of research method. The method of collecting data and information was in the form of library and documents and survey (interview). By examining scientific sources, 57 factors influencing the smart growth of rural settlements were identified, which were categorized into 4 dimensions; And a total of 30 people, including managers of related organizations and academic experts, were interviewed. Data analysis was based on prospective research techniques; including structure analysis, interaction analysis (Micmac and Scenario Wizard software). The results showed that there are 35 scenarios with weak compatibility and only one scenario is in a state of strong and stable compatibility (zero incompatibility). The first scenario, which is a scenario with a positive direction, has a total interaction score of 446 and a compatibility value of 5; While the second scenario, which is the unfavorable scenario, has a total interaction effect score of -93 and a compatibility value of -1. The third scenario (standing) also had a compatibility value of 3, and with a total score of 42 interactions, it can be one of the possible scenarios for the future of rural physical-spatial developments
