Abstract While many hospitals are under pressure to become more cost efficient, new costing systems such as Activity-based costing (ABC) may form a solution. However, the factors that may facilitate (or inhibit) cost system changes towards ABC have not yet been disentangled in a specific hospital context. (Greene 2001) Via a survey study of hospitals, we discovered that cost system development in hospitals could largely be explained by hospital specific factors. Issues such as the support of ...
As Einstein said this century ago it's not the knowledge which makes the difference in this world. It is the power of imagination which makes us think out of the box of the conventional mind. Some year ago people said it is impossible to see satellite channels on your handset. It's impossible to transfer data at huge speed over the network. But it's the imagination which knows no boundaries and now we can see that its common watching satellite channels on your handset, high speed communicatio...
Due to the different types of revolutions throughout our life, there are a number of issues that are created as results of these developments. On every single sort of revolutions there are positive and negative repercussions.

Implementation of Convolutional Encoder and Viterbi Decoder Using Matlab and FPGA Abstract Channel coding is widely used in digital communication. By using channel encoding methods we can minimize signal noise and signal interference in our system. These techniques also utilize less bandwidth for error free transmission. In our project we have implemented convolutional encoder and viterbi decoder for channel coding. Convolutional encoding is vastly used for error correction in digital communi...
