Modeling and Implementation of Bus Rapid Transit corridor based on Traffic Prioritization and Automatic Location
Full text linkIn many cities facts defining conditions for very high concentration of functions and population make transport difficult. The proposed solution is an Automated Vehicle Location (AVL) and prioritization system for mass urban transport buses, and priority vehicles, through a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) corridor. The solution consists of a detection sub-system, with a bus component, using transmitter, and a receiver placed on the traffic lights, the traffic lights, and a control center. We aim in minimizing the waiting time on traffic lights, and thus the waste of time on traveling. Such system is a useful instrument for any mass urban transport system
Informatization as a Measure for Improvement of the Education Policy – Case Study: Electronic Content Portal
Full text linkThe intensive development of information technology in the new millennium has redesigned the functioning views, rules and principles of educational organizations. They have been set to the challenge of how and in which way information technologies influence the improvement of the effectiveness of the educational surrounding. As a result of this process, the overall improvement of the education system, analyzed as a whole, as well as its compliance with modern trends and needs, inevitably leads to the necessity of improving the process by applying information technologies. The extent by which a geographical area, an economy or a society is becoming information-base, increase in size of its information labor force, is referred to as informatization, whereas the principles and government policy-making in educational sphere, as well as the collection of laws and rules that govern the operation of education systems is an education policy. In this paper, the need of creation of educational policy by using information technology is examined, with particular reference to one of the measures for improvement of the education policy, such as an online resource (www.skoool.mk), as a case study, on the bases of which appropriate conclusions and recommendations are drawn

Improving Readability of Medical Data by Using Decision Rules
Full text linkAs medical journal abstracts have become more and more difficult to read, there is a burning issue for doctors to get relevant medical information in order to solve a problem in a fast and efficient way. The paper deals with the synthesis of sentences of spoken language from tabular historical data that relate to a specific medical sub domain. In this case Systematic Syntax Classification of\ud
Objects or SSCO algorithm was used in order to generate decision rules which were consequently transformed to natural language and delivered to the user by a machine text reader. The system is “hands–free”, reliable, and enables communication by natural language. The experiments were conducted on data sample consisting of patient’s conditions after hip surgery procedure and originating from General hospital “Djordje Joanovic”, Zrenjanin, Serbia
Fully Automatic MRI Brain Tumor Segmentation
Full text linkToday in the area of medical research, the care of brain tumor patient attracts a lot of attention. Brain tumor segmentation consists of separating the different brain tumor tissues from normal tissues. In the past, many researchers in the field of medical imaging and soft computing have made significant survey in the field of brain tumor segmentation. Both semiautomatic and fully automatic methods have been proposed. Clinical acceptance of segmentation techniques has depended on the simplicity of the segmentation and the degree of user supervision. Additionally, with the development of particular software tools for automatic segmentation and brain tumor detection, which reduce the doctors’ time spent on manual segmentation, more effective and efficient results are provided. In this paper BraTumIA software tool has been used for automated segmentation on MRI brain tumor images in order to perform fully segmentation by separating different brain tumor tissues from the normal ones
