This paper explores the development of a knowledge base within the European Public Health and Environment Network (EPHEN) research group at University College London, which had a pressing need to change the way its work activities were conducted. It is intended to provide some insight to managers, group members within EPHEN, as to how this development can bring about changes to service delivery and practice that empowers service users and involves them in the process. It seeks also to identify possible difficulties that might be anticipated. Also a public Web site will be integrated into the system to promote health awareness, especially as EPHEN’s primary concern is to encourage public health in society.

Herein, we propose a novel multi-layer Markov random field (MRF) image segmentation model which aims at combining color and texture features: Each feature is associated to a so called feature layer, where an MRF model is defined using only the corresponding feature. A special layer is assigned to the combined MRF model. This layer interacts with each feature layer and provides the segmentation based on the combination of different features. The model is quite generic and isn't restricted to a particular texture feature. Herein we will test the algorithm using Gabor and MRSAR texture features. Furthermore, the algorithm automatically estimates the number of classes at each layer (there can be different classes at different layers) and the associated model parameters.

The Hausdorff distance (HD) between planar sets of points is known to be an effective measure for determining the degree of resemblance between binary images. In this paper, we analyze the conventional HD measure and ...

The European Public Health and Environment Network (EPHEN) had a pressing need to change the way their work activities were conducted. The aim of this project is to create a multi-user network information system to automate the daily activities carried out by the members' of EPHEN. An integral part of the system will be the addition of a personalised internal email system to facilitate the flow of communication within the group. Also an innovative element will be integrated into the system to promote health awareness, especially as EPHEN's primary concern is to encourage public health in society.

Several methods are available to evaluate and compare medical journals. The most popular is the journal Impact Factor, derived from averaging counts of citations to articles. Ingwersen adapted this method to assess the attractiveness of Web sites, defining the external Web Impact Factor (WIF) to be the number of external pages containing a link to a given Web site. This paper applies the WIF to 43 medical informatics societies' Web sites using advanced search engine queries to obtain the necessary link counts. The WIF was compared to the number of publications available in the Medline bibliographic database in medical informatics in these 43 countries. Between these two metrics, the observed Pearson correlation was 0.952 (p

We propose a novel scheme for a service production using service scenario and its control scheme, which works with a set of distributed functions offered from networked appliances on a home network. Firstly, basic ideas for the service scenario control, which is designed with a network-oriented MVC model and which sits on the dynamic function discovery/negotiation mechanism, are presented. Secondly, the architecture for the scenario control worked with the AMIDEN architecture [M. Minoh, et al. (2001)] and its description is discussed. On the architecture, functions are dynamically connected by the mechanism of the dynamic function discovery firstly, then characteristics of the functions are spontaneously configured by the parameter negotiation on the topology. On top of that, the service model is configured by parsing the service scenario which is statically described, the characteristics of the functions, and its topology which are dynamically configured from the network formation. Finally, from the initial study, we have resulted that the scheme is very much flexible for the service provider to design and create a distributed object-oriented program by using several functions without any knowledge of the function details in advance, and also flexible for the appliance designer to implement a function unit without a condition and a limitation for the integrated service, since each function and each scenario is allowed to be designed separately using generic framework and an appliance service is configured only with the proposed service scenario description sit on the AMIDEN architecture.
