Applications that provide online services are becoming more popular every day and a part of desktop apps respectively decrease. The search of information, processing documents, creating images and even user games find their place on the Internet. All these things are built on basis of the client-server data transfering model which nowadays is main for most of modern applications starting directly from the web segment ending with mobile devices.The problem should be talk about is low level of using online applications culture in favor of familiar desktop versions of data processing applications. In particular it’s about text-processing tools. Despite the part of web applications increase daily, the survey indicates that most part of researchers still prefer offline redactors for their work. Unfortunately this approach does not ensure user’s data from corruption, it doesn’t provide an opportunity to cooperate for joint work for researchers and bears lots of other risks which can be reduced by using online tools.Considering all the above the main topic of the article is the use of client-server model in the development of referative managers and some work-processes automatization. The client-server architecture, actual problems of science works processing sphere and some tools for text-processing are considered in the article.ONAFT Reference Manager project based on client-server architecture and developed to eliminate existing problems of the sphere will be mentioned as well.

Indonesia is rich in culture, ethnicity which one example is the traditional houses that exist in each province. Introduce Indonesian traditional house to users by using information technology as a medium of information could be one way to preserve the nation's culture. Limitations of the media information about traditional houses that currently can only be enjoyed through pictures or visit the traditional houses directly make society can not know the traditional houses in Indonesia optimally. Therefore we need a media so that people can know more about traditional houses in Indonesia without the need to visit directly into sites or less information such as 2-dimensional images in the book.

In today's world, technology development aspects are growing rapidly in a way that makes the development of these aspects unacceptable to slowdown. Perhaps the most distinguishing aspect is the World Wide Web which is considered as the main container for these prospects, despite of the challenges and the difficulties which have faced it since the beginning especially in term of performance. This paper states current performance difficulties that face web-based applications, grouping these difficulties into categories based on the web technology used. It also proposes a number of recommendations and enhancements that increase and optimize the web performance. These recommendations are implemented in a real case which is "Mofadalah" web-based application at the Syrian ministry of health. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

With the development of Internet of Things (IoT), the world gradually moves toward the interconnection of all things. In terrestrial networks, narrowband-IoT and Long Rage (LoRa) are used widely in the IoT industry. For low-earth-orbit (LEO) satellites, they have a lot of conspicuous advantages, such as broader coverage and lower construction cost. In this letter, we place emphasis on the application of LoRa-related technologies to LEO satellite communication systems, and the modulation is the prior research. Chirp spread spectrum (CSS) modulation is the most important technology in LoRa. Therefore, the research of CSS modulation used in the satellite IoT is imperative. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, an alternative approach was employed and derived the explicit expressions of sample mean and its variance for the circular and the diagonal circular systematic schemes since these expressions were unavailable in the existing literature. The study also found the corrected estimator of population mean and average variance under super-population model for these scheme. It further revealed that the circular systematic sampling almost performed better than that of the diagonal circular systematic sampling in both linear and auto-correlated super-population models.

Much work has been done on automating regression testing for applications. But most of them focus on test execution. Little work has been done on automatically determining if a test case passes or fails. This decision is often made by comparing the results of executing test cases on a base version of the application and post-modification version of the application. If the two results match, the test case passes, otherwise fails. However, to the best of our knowledge, there is no regression testing method for automatically deciding pass/fail of dynamic Web applications which use JavaScript or CSS. We propose a method that automatically decides if a dynamic Web application passes a regression test case. The basic idea is to obtain a screenshot each time the GUI of the Web application (i.e. Web page) changes its state, and then compare each corresponding screenshot to see if they match. The evaluation results showed that the accuracy rate of our approach is high and our approach can be considered as fast enough for practical use. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Salvage lymph node dissection (sLND) - performed open or minimally-invasive - is a treatment modality that can be offered to patients with nodal recurrence after radical prostatectomy (RP), especially in times where modern imaging methods like choline- or PSMA-PET/CT are available. Yet, there are only very limited data on the safety and oncological effectiveness of robotic sLND. Methods: We retrospectively identified patients who underwent robotic sLND at our institution between 2013 and 2017 for nodal recurrence after RP, which had been diagnosed either by 18F-choline- or 68Ga-PSMA-PET/CT. We analyzed perioperative data and early oncological outcomes with a focus on the comparison of patients with preoperative choline- vs. those with preoperative PSMA-PET/CT. Results: We identified 36 patients who underwent robotic sLND at a median time of 45.3 months [range 3.1;228.6] after RP, with nodal recurrences detected in 25 patients by PSMA- and in 11 by choline-PET/CT. Median preoperative PSA, operation time and blood loss were 1.98 ng/ml [range 0.09;35.15], 129.5 min [range 65;202] and 50 ml [range 0;400], respectively. No high-grade complications occurred. A median number of 6.5 [range 1;25] lymph nodes were removed with a median of 1 [range 0;9] tumor-occupied node. None of the patients received any adjuvant treatment. Median postoperative PSA-change was -57% [range -100; +58] in the PSMA- and +10% [range -91; +95] in the choline-group (p = 0.015). 44% of patients in the PSMA- and 18% of patients in the choline-group experienced complete biochemical response (cBCR; PSA <0.2 ng/ml). Median time from sLND to the initiation of further therapy was 12 months [range 2;21.5] in the PSMA-group and 4.7 months [range 2.2;18.9] in the choline-group (p = 0.001). Conclusions: This is the hitherto largest series on robotic sLND for nodal recurrence after RP. Robotic sLND is a feasible therapeutic option with low morbidity, which can at least delay the initiation of further therapy - in some patients up to several years. However, the extend of sLND has to be standardized and randomized trials are needed to finally define the oncological effectiveness of this approach. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The main goal of this research note is to educate business researchers on how to automatically scrape financial data from the World Wide Web using the R programming language. This paper is organized into the following main parts. The first part provides a conceptual overview of the web scraping process. The second part educates the reader about the Rvest package—a popular tool for browsing and downloading web data in R. The third part educates the reader about the main functions of the XBRL package. The XBRL package was developed specifically for working with financial data distributed using the XBRL format in the R environment. The fourth part of this paper presents an example of a relatively complex web scraping task implemented using the R language. This complex web scraping task involves using both the Rvest and XBRL packages for the purposes of retrieving, preprocessing, and organizing financial and nonfinancial data related to a company from various sources and using different data forms. The paper ends with some concluding remarks on how the web scraping approach presented in this paper can be useful in other research projects involving financial and nonfinancial data.

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a W3C specification for a style sheet language used for describing the presentation of a document written in a markup language, more precisely, for styling Web documents. However, in the last few years, the landscape for CSS development has changed dramatically with the appearance of several languages and tools aiming to help developers build clean, modular and performance-aware CSS. These new approaches give developers mechanisms to preprocess CSS rules through the use of programming constructs, defined as CSS preprocessors, with the ultimate goal to bring those missing constructs to the CSS realm and to foster stylesheets structured programming. At the same time, a new set of tools appeared, defined as postprocessors, for extension and automation purposes covering a broad set of features ranging from identifying unused and duplicate code to applying vendor prefixes. With all these tools and techniques in hands, developers need to provide a consistent workflow to foster CSS modular coding. This paper aims to present an introductory survey on the CSS processors. The survey gathers information on a specific set of processors, categorizes them and compares their features regarding a set of predefined criteria such as: maturity, coverage and performance. Finally, we propose a basic set of best practices in order to setup a simple and pragmatic styling code workflow. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Efficient search engines enable the end user to avail the target information as early as and as accurately as possible. Search engine optimization conforms to the act of optimizing the webpage in particular and a website in general so as to acquire a highest ranking in search engine results. The ranking is based on some pre-defined criteria which SEO encapsulates for generating right signal to the search engine. The basic methodology adopted for this purpose primarily focuses on enriching the website content and improving readability by making the web pages more search engine friendly. Several optimization tools exist for rendering the website search engine friendly. But all these tools operate like a black box where the internal details are not immediately revealed to an end user. To facilitate this, in the current work the authors have designed and developed a simulation tool for testing w3C compliance which is a necessary condition for making a webpage search engine friendly. The browsers do not complain against the violation of W3C compliance rules, however such violations do result in rendering the web page invisible to the search engine which in turn results less network traffic flow to the website. Among other things W3C and CSS compliance are the most basic rules which a website designer cannot afford to ignore. In the current work, the tool is designed and developed for the purpose which accepts an HTML document and computes its W3C compliance score. The tool meticulously analyzes the HTML code and generates several reports conforming to violation of rules, if any. Further, the tool has the provision for converting the document into W3C compliance document based on the specified ruleset. Finally, the tool has been tested by applying it to the case study of a hypothetical organization. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Radio spectrum (3 KHz to 300 GHz) is a limited natural resource and efficient utilization of the spectrum can be accomplished by cognitive radio (CR). In CR, spectrum sensing is one of the significant challenging issues. Cooperative spectrum sensing (CSS) based CR is a captivating solution to enhance spectrum sensing. In CSS, multiple secondary users (SUs) report their results to fusion center (FC) and final decision is taken on the status of the primary user (PU) based on the predetermined fusion rule. This cooperative decision in CSS based CR, improves the spectrum sensing performance. Nevertheless, the foremost drawback in CSS is low throughput due to reporting time introduced by the multiple SUs. We propose a novel method to reduce the reporting time so as to enhance the throughput performance for the same number of SUs in CSS based CR. In the proposed scheme k SUs, where k is even, are divided into two groups, each with k/2 users. Two groups report their sensing results to two FCs separately and final decision is taken by the third FC. Consequently, the reporting time is condensed in the proposed scheme. The sensing performance of the proposed CSS (PCSS) for all possible fusion rules is reviewed. Analytical expressions for probability of false alarm, probability of detection and throughput are derived for PCSS. Both simulation results and theoretical analyses validate that PCSS improves throughput significantly when compared with CSS. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

CZTS films were obtained by spray pyrolysis, a low-cost technique implemented on an industrial scale. Sulfurization processes generally enhance CZTS properties for its use in solar cells; however, these require high temperatures and long times. In this work, CZTS films properties were studied after being subjected to a combined novel thermal treatment which involved two stages. Sulfur incorporation using close space sublimation technique (CSS) at a temperature (T CSS) in the 350–500 °C range for 60 s, and after a rapid thermal annealing post-treatment (RTA) at T RTA = 500 °C for 10 s, with a heating ramp of 5 °C/s under argon atmosphere. Morphological, structural, chemical composition, optical and electrical properties were studied for CZTS films subjected to CSS as CSS+RTA treatments for all T CSS values. From the results, efficient sulfur incorporation by CSS was obtained without substantial sulfur concentration loss after RTA treatment, associated with the short treatment time. In addition, significant enhancement of crystalline quality and electrical resistivity diminished of the films is obtained after the CSS+RTA process for all T CSS. CZTS films with the best properties are those obtained at T CSS of 400 °C, having Cu/(Zn+Sn) = 0.79 and Zn/Sn = 1.3 ratios, a direct bandgap value of 1.5 eV, and resistivity of 4 Ω-cm. These films can be candidates for their characteristics as an absorbent layer in solar cells. [Display omitted] • Efficient sulfur incorporation in CZTS films by CSS using short times. • RTA post-treatment in previous sulfurized CZTS films without significant sulfur loss. • Combined CSS+RTA treatment stimulates the kesterite phase in CZTS films. • Combined CSS+RTA treatment enhance CZTS films properties for their use in solar cells. • CZTS by spray pyrolisis, treated short time lead 1.5 ≤E g ≤ 1.6 eV, 10−1 ≤ ρ ≤ 101 Ω-cm.
