description: In Hungary, World War I commemorations have been mainly organized by the Centenary Commemorative Committee, which is government-run. The committee supports a wide range of cultural programmes, from the renovation of World War memorials, to the organization of exhibitions, to educational programmes. The purpose of these offerings is to highlight the importance of remembering and to raise the awareness of conflict. The programmes aim to contribute to the strengthening of Hungarian and European identity based on common values, history and culture. The centennial has also provided an opportunity for different political forces to reinterpret the past and to use history for political purposes. Memory struggles are expected to intensify by the end of the programme series in 2020, which will mark the centenary of the Trianon Peace Treaty.

Biogeochemistry of dissolved gallium and lead isotopes in the northeast Pacific and western Arctic Oceans
Creators: name: McAlister, Jason
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: This thesis presents novel applications of dissolved Ga and Pb isotope ratios as oceanographic tracers of biogeochemical cycling and trace metal input mechanisms in the northeast Pacific Ocean, the Columbia River plume, and the Western Arctic Ocean. Conclusions of this thesis are based on the first multi-year transect of dissolved Ga in the northeast Pacific Ocean along Line P, the first dissolved Ga concentrations reported in the Arctic Ocean, and the first Line P transect of Pb isotope ratios. This thesis introduces 5 new tracer applications contributing to oceanographic research, dissolved Ga traces: 1) advective inputs of trace metals in the northeast Pacific, 2) Pacific and Atlantic source waters in the western Arctic, and 3) plume transport of the Columbia River, Ga/Pb traces: 4) fluvial freshwater inputs, and Pb isotope ratios trace: 5) geographically and temporally distinct trace metal inputs to the northeast Pacific. Dissolved Ga is positively correlated with the variable spice, interpreted to trace advective trace metal inputs from the California Undercurrent and North Pacific Intermediate Waters bisecting the Line P transect. This thesis identifies the Ga/Pb ratio as a tracer of an interface along Line P of fluvial trace metal inputs. Isotopic ratios of Pb trace eolian Asiatic and fluvial North American sources, identifying a front of differential trace metal inputs along Line P. Dissolved Ga is identified as a conservative tracer of Pacific waters in the Arctic and applies the conservative nature of dissolved Ga to interpretation of calculated rates of nitrogen fixation within shallow waters of the Beaufort Gyre, impacting phosphate concentrations and ecosystems in both the Arctic and North Atlantic Oceans. Finally, dissolved Ga traces conservative and non-conservative behaviour under upwelling and downwelling conditions associated with the dynamic Columbia River plume. This thesis contributes the five tracer applications described above to interpretation of trace metal inputs and advection in the northeast Pacific Ocean and source waters and nitrogen and phosphate coupling in the western Arctic Ocean.

description: The article analyzes the essence of financial behavior of households and its components. The dynamics and structure of household finances in Ukraine for 2015–2019 are studied. The general tendencies of aggregate resources of Ukraine households are characterized. It is determined that in Ukraine in the total resources of the population the largest share is occupied by wages. The essence and the most important components of financial behavior of households are substantiated. The main problems that hinder the development of active strategies of financial behavior of households in Ukraine are identified, and possible ways to solve them in modern conditions are highlighted. It is proved that there is a need to create favorable conditions for the formation of savings and investment financial behavior based on the implementation of a set of measures, among which an important place is given to financial literacy of the population.

description: In this paper, we treat a local discrimination problem in the framework of asymmetric hypothesis testing. We choose a known bipartite pure state $\ketΨ$ as an alternative hypothesis, and the completely mixed state as a null hypothesis. As a result, we analytically derive an optimal type 2 error and an optimal POVM for one-way LOCC POVM and Separable POVM. For two-way LOCC POVM, we study a family of simple three-step LOCC protocols, and show that the best protocol in this family has strictly better performance than any one-way LOCC protocol in all the cases where there may exist difference between two-way LOCC POVM and one-way LOCC POVM.

description: The centenary events surrounding the First World War have produced a significant amount of digital content in various forms, and thus has set a precedent for how large scale post-war memorisation can be undertaken. Looking towards future centenaries, which we can assume will produce a similar volume of digital content, there is a need for project leadership to invest in the digital legacy from the very outset of projects to ensure sustainability.

description: Dark Matter (DM) particles with sufficiently large cross sections may scatter as they travel through Earth's bulk. The corresponding changes in the DM flux give rise to a characteristic daily modulation signal in detectors sensitive to DM-electron interactions. Here, we report results obtained from the first underground operation of the DAMIC-M prototype detector searching for such a signal from DM with MeV-scale mass. A model-independent analysis finds no modulation in the rate of 1$e^-$ events with sidereal period, where a DM signal would appear. We then use these data to place exclusion limits on DM in the mass range [0.53, 2.7] MeV/c$^2$ interacting with electrons via a dark photon mediator. Taking advantage of the time-dependent signal we improve by $\sim$2 orders of magnitude on our previous limit obtained from the total rate of 1$e^-$ events, using the same data set. This daily modulation search represents the current strongest limit on DM-electron scattering via ultralight mediators for DM masses around 1 MeV/c$^2$.

description: The overall goal of ERA Chair/EnvMetaGen project No 668981 is to expand the research and innovation potential of InBIO – Research network in Biodiversity and Evolutionary Biology, through the creation of an ERA Chair in Environmental Metagenomics. This field was selected as the focus of the ERA Chair, because Environmental DNA (eDNA) analysis is increasingly being used for biodiversity assessment, diet analysis, detection of rare or invasive species, population genetics and ecosystem functional analysis. In this context, the work plan of EnvMetaGen includes one work package dedicated to the Deployment of an eDNA Lab (WP4), which involves the training of InBIO researchers and technicians for implementing best practice protocols for the analysis of eDNA (Task 4.2). These protocols are essential for key application areas and to the development of research projects in association with business partners and other stakeholders, and thus to the strengthening of InBIO triple-helix initiatives (InBIO-Industry-Government; WP5). This report provides an overview of the current state of the art for collecting and preserving eDNA samples, with particular focus on vertebrate faecal samples, water samples and bulk invertebrate samples, which have been selected as key targets for the development of triple helix strategic initiatives (Task 5.3). The protocols already optimized and currently under development for the collection and preservation of eDNA samples are reported herein. Moreover, the future directions of sample collection and preservation at InBIO are discussed. This development was made possible through the recruitment of the ERA Chair team (WP2), secondments and Junior Researcher exchanges through the collaboration with international networks (WP3), an enhancement of computational infrastructure at InBIO (WP4) and participation of team members in workshops and conferences (WP6).

Together, Deliverables D4.2-D4.5 (this document; Ferreira et al. 2018; Galhardo et al. 2018; Paupério et al. 2018) form a detailed account of the successful deployment of a fully functional eDNA lab under the EnvMetaGen project, and provide a valuable resource for eDNA practitioners in all spheres of the triple-helix model.
To wet or not to wet? Dispersion forces tip the balance for water-ice on metals

description: Despite widespread discussion, the role of van der Waals dispersion forces in wetting remains unclear. Here we show that non-local correlations contribute substantially to the water-metal bond and that this is an important factor in governing the relative stabilities of wetting layers and 3D bulk ice. Due to the greater polarizability of the substrate metal atoms, non-local correlations between water and the metal exceed those between water molecules within ice. This sheds light on a long-standing problem, wherein common density functional theory exchange-correlation functionals incorrectly predict that none of the low temperature experimentally characterized ice-like wetting layers are thermodynamically stable.

Towards the borphyrin : head-to-tail macrocycles based on boronate esters
Creators: name: Lichen, Ni
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Inspired by the versatility of boronic acid condensation with catechols, we set out to construct boronate-ester based macrocycles by the head-to-tail assembly of precursor that contains both a catechol and a boronic acid on the same molecule. A series of expanded “borphyrin” macrocycles was prepared in the pursuit of increasing the solubility. Further characterization of the new macrocycles by UV-Vis and IR spectroscopy confirmed that they have extended conjugation. However, incorporation of sterically hindered bulky groups might also disrupt the trigonal planar geometry around the boron centers and limit the extent of conjugation of the macrocycles.

description: Effective Lagrangian for pure Yang-Mills gauge fields invariant under the standard space-time and local gauge SU(3) transformations is considered. It is demonstrated that a set of twelve degenerated minima exists as soon as a nonzero gluon condensate is postulated. The minima are connected to each other by the parity transformations and Weyl group transformations associated with the color su(3) algebra. The presence of degenerated discrete minima in the effective potential leads to the solutions of the effective Euclidean equations of motion in the form of the kink-like gauge field configurations interpolating between different minima. Spectrum of charged scalar field in the kink background is discussed.

description: A posteriori error estimates based on residuals can be used for reliable error control of numerical methods. Here, we consider them in the context of ordinary differential equations and Runge-Kutta methods. In particular, we take the approach of Dedner & Giesselmann (2016) and investigate it when used to select the time step size. We focus on step size control stability when combined with explicit Runge-Kutta methods and demonstrate that a standard I controller is unstable while more advanced PI and PID controllers can be designed to be stable. We compare the stability properties of residual-based estimators and classical error estimators based on an embedded Runge-Kutta method both analytically and in numerical experiments.

Does External Pressure Explain Recent Results for Molecular Clouds?

Year: 2011

description: The recent paper by Heyer et al (2009) indicates that observations of size, linewidth and column density of interstellar clouds do not agree with simple virial equilibrium (VE) as a balance between gravitational and kinetic energies in the sense that the clouds either have too much kinetic energy or too little mass to be bound. This may be explained by violation of VE as suggested by Dobbs et al 2011, by observational underestimation of the masses as suggested by Heyer et al 2009, or by an external pressure acting as an additional confining force as suggested earlier by Heyer et al 2004. The data of Heyer et al. 2009 cannot be explained with a single value for the external pressure, but if different clouds in the sample have different external pressures in the range of Pe/k = E4 to E7 cm-3 K, then most of the clouds could be in pressure virial equilibrium (PVE). In this paper we discuss two consequences of the external pressure. First, we show that the observational data are consistent with the hypothesis (Chieźe 1987) that most clouds are at a critical mass for dynamical stability determined solely by the pressure. Above this mass a cloud is unstable to gravitational collapse or fragmentation. Second, we show that the external pressure modifies the well-known size-linewidth relationship first proposed by Larson (1981) so that the proportionality is no longer constant but depends on the external pressure.

Innovation Behavior of Agri-Food Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises: Emerging Countries
Creators: name: Kussainova, Gaukhar B.
Publisher: name: University of Kentucky Libraries
Year: 2019

description: Abstract:
This paper examines the innovative behavior of agri-food firms located in Central and Eastern Europe. In the literature, empirical analyses on innovation activities of firms focus on various case studies from around the world. However, very few studies explored the innovation of small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) from Central and Eastern Europe’s agri-food sector. The analysis uses the logit estimation method and firm-level data, which are obtained from ERBD-World Bank Business Environment and Enterprise Performance Survey (BEEPS). Results suggest that firms that spent some proportion of their financial budget on research and development (R), had workforce training programs and bought fixed assets are more likely to launch product, process, organizational and marketing innovations.

description: We report heating rate measurements in a microfabricated gold-on-sapphire surface electrode ion trap with trapping height of approximately 240 micron. Using the Doppler recooling method, we characterize the trap heating rates over an extended region of the trap. The noise spectral density of the trap falls in the range of noise spectra reported in ion traps at room temperature. We find that during the first months of operation the heating rates increase by approximately one order of magnitude. The increase in heating rates is largest in the ion loading region of the trap, providing a strong hint that surface contamination plays a major role for excessive heating rates. We discuss data found in the literature and possible relation of anomalous heating to sources of noise and dissipation in other systems, namely impurity atoms adsorbed on metal surfaces and amorphous dielectrics.

description: The Weibull function is widely used to describe skew distributions observed in nature. However, the origin of this ubiquity is not always obvious to explain. In the present paper, we consider the well-known Galton-Watson branching process describing simple replicative systems. The shape of the resulting distribution, about which little has been known, is found essentially indistinguishable from the Weibull form in a wide range of the branching parameter; this can be seen from the exact series expansion for the cumulative distribution, which takes a universal form. We also find that the branching process can be mapped into a process of aggregation of clusters. In the branching and aggregation process, the number of events considered for branching and aggregation grows cumulatively in time, whereas, for the binomial distribution, an independent event occurs at each time with a given success probability.

description: Water and other polar molecules experience an attractive force in the inhomogeneous electric field of small molecular ions or charged nanoparticles. This charge induced attractive force increases the collision cross section, and, hence, impacts the adsorption rates compared to neutral particle interactions. While ion-molecule interactions have been studied extensively, experimental data are still lacking regarding the interaction of polar molecules with nanoparticles whose radii exceed the Langevin capture radius. Precise knowledge of this effect is crucial, e.g. for describing the formation and growth of atmospheric nanoparticles and for understanding the role of charged particles in cloud formation. We present experimental results for the charge induced enhancement of the collision cross section between H2O molecules and singly charged nanoparticles with radii between 1.4 nm and 3 nm. The enhancement factor Γ with respect to the geometrical cross section increases with decreasing particle size. We also present a new model for Γ based on Stark effect adiabatic dipole orientations, which is in excellent agreement with the experimental findings.

description: The growth and annealing behavior of strongly twinned homoepitaxial films on Ir(111) has been investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy, low energy electron diffraction and surface X-ray diffraction. In situ surface X-ray diffraction during and after film growth turned out to be an efficient tool for the determination of twin fractions in multilayer films and to uncover the nature of side twin boundaries. The annealing of the twin structures is shown to take place in a two step process, reducing first the length of the boundaries between differently stacked areas and only then the twins themselves. A model for the structure of the side twin boundaries is proposed which is consistent with both the scanning tunneling microscopy and surface X-ray diffraction data.

description: We analyzed the combined near-infrared spectrum of a star-planet system with thermal emission atmospheric models, based on the composition and physical parameters of the system. The main objective of this work is to obtain the inclination of the orbit, the mass of the exoplanet, and the planet-to-star flux ratio. We present the results of our routines on the planetary system HD 217107, which was observed with the high-resolution spectrograph Phoenix at 2.14 microns. We revisited and tuned a correlation method to directly search for the high-resolution signature of a known non-transiting extrasolar planet. We could not detect the planet with our current data, but we present sensitivity estimates of our method and the respective constraints on the planetary parameters. With a confidence level of 3--$σ$ we constrain the HD 217107 b planet-to-star flux ratio to be less than $5 \times 10^{-3}$. We also carried out simulations on other planet candidates to assess the detectability limit of atmospheric water on realistically simulated data sets for this instrument, and we outline an optimized observational and selection strategy to increase future probabilities of success by considering the optimal observing conditions and the most suitable candidates.

description: Biology is a very heterogeneous discipline that has benefitted from the reductionist empirical approaches that have spawned thousands of subdisciplines, from neurobiology to landscape ecology, each with its own data types and research cultures. While we have learned much by isolating and experimenting on individual components of natural systems, there is much to be gained from looking at systems more holistically, which requires data integration at an unprecedented scale. In addition, these holistic approaches require expertise and data from outside biology, such as geology, computer science, and economics to name a few. This talk will present methodologies for integrating multi-modal data across disciplines to enable large-scale, holistic studies of natural systems and discuss the team science aspects of this work in the context of the GenoPhenoEnvo project. This presentation was given on 17 Sept 2021 as a part of the Data Management in the Environmental Health Sciences Seminar Series at the University of Iowa.

The intrinsic length and time scales of such amplifying systems are studied and comprehensively discussed as well as the threshold characteristics of single- and two-particle propagators. Our semi-analytical theory is based on a self-consistent Cooperon resummation, representing the repeated self-interference, and incorporates as well optical gain and absorption, modeled in a semi-analytical way by a finite imaginary part of the dielectric function. Energy conservation in terms of a generalized Ward identity is taken into account.

description: Two incorrect arguments against MOND in elliptical galaxies could be that the equivalent circular velocity curves tend to become flat at much larger accelerations than in spiral galaxies, and that the Newtonian dark matter halos are more concentrated than in spirals. Here, we compare published scaling relations for the dark halos of elliptical galaxies to the scaling relations expected for MONDian phantom halos. We represent the baryonic content of galaxies by spherical profiles, and their corresponding MONDian phantom halos by logarithmic halos. We then derive the surface densities, central densities, and phase space densities and compare them with published scaling relations. We conclude that it is possible to get flat circular velocity curves at high acceleration in MOND, and that this happens for baryonic distributions described by Jaffe profiles in the region where the circular velocity curve is flat. Moreover, the scaling relations of dark halos of ellipticals are remarkably similar to the scaling relations of phantom halos of MOND.

description: Salmonella is one of the most abundant bacterial pathogens infecting humans in developed and developing countries. It is the causative agent of disease and mortality resulting in billions of dollars in associated medical costs and lost productivity every year. In the laboratory, findings regarding the physiology of Salmonella infections are often used to model a wide range of bacterial infections impacting fields far beyond the scope of Salmonella pathogenesis alone. For these reasons, significant resources have been dedicated to gaining a better understanding of mechanisms underlying Salmonella infection and the interaction between the pathogen and the immune system. In this thesis, Salmonella is used to study the interaction between bacterial pathogens and the host’s oxidative and nitrosative burst. Recently, new findings have challenged the conventional perspective of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species as merely antimicrobial agents by revealing redox-sensitive virulence mechanisms that benefit Salmonella infection. These new findings, together with processes that drive Salmonella infection, are highlighted in Chapter 1. To better address questions concerning redox stress inside bacteria we used redox-sensitive GFP which enabled real-time analysis of the intra-bacterial redox environment. In Chapter 2 this redox-biosensor combined with high-throughput microscopy, was used to evaluate oxidative/nitrosative stress evasion strategies inside macrophages. In Chapter 3, the same method was used to explore the bacterial outer membrane permeability to hydrogen peroxide. Real-time measurements of the intra-bacterial redox potential revealed novel regulatory mechanisms that alter outer membrane permeability based on the presence or absence of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species. Chapter 4 describes the identification and characterization of a redox-sensitive regulatory modification in Salmonella effector SteB. This modification was found to be crucial for regulation of tubulin-mediated transport of the Salmonella containing vacuole. Cumulatively these studies describe strategies for oxidative/nitrosative stress evasion while also highlighting several mechanisms by which reactive oxygen and nitrogen species aid Salmonella during infection. In Chapter 5, these findings have been integrated in order to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the complicated relationship between Salmonella and oxidative/nitrosative stress which has the potential to lead to the development of novel antimicrobial therapies.

description: The precise tuning required to observe critical phenomena in gravitational collapse poses a challenge for most numerical codes. First, threshold estimation searches may be obstructed by the appearance of coordinate singularities, indicating the need for a better gauge choice. Second, the constraint violations to which simulations are susceptible may be too large and force searches to terminate prematurely. This is a particularly serious issue for first order formulations. We want our adaptive pseudospectral code bamps to be a robust tool for the study of critical phenomena so, having encountered both of these difficulties in work on the vacuum setting, we turn here to investigate these issues in the classic context of a spherically symmetric massless scalar field. We suggest two general improvements. We propose a necessary condition for a gauge choice to respect discrete self-similarity (DSS). The condition is not restricted to spherical symmetry and could be verified with any 3+1 formulation. After evaluating common gauge choices against this condition, we suggest a DSS-compatible gauge source function in generalized harmonic gauge (GHG). To control constraint violations, we modify the constraint damping parameters of GHG, adapting them to collapse spacetimes. This allows us to improve our tuning of the critical amplitude for several families of initial data, even going from 6 up to 11 digits. This is the most precise tuning achieved with the first order GHG formulation to date. Consequently, we are able to reproduce the well known critical phenomena as well as competing formulations and methods, clearly observing up to 3 echoes.

description: We present a mid-infrared high spectral resolution spectrum of CRL618 in the frequency ranges 778-784 and 1227-1249 cm^-1 (8.01-8.15 and 12.75-12.85 um) taken with the Texas Echelon-cross-Echelle Spectrograph (TEXES) and the Infrared Telescope Facility (IRTF). We have identified more than 170 ro-vibrational lines arising from C2H2, HCN, C4H2, and C6H2. We have found no unmistakable trace of C8H2. The line profiles display a complex structure suggesting the presence of polyacetylenes in several components of the circumstellar envelope (CSE). We derive total column densities of 2.5 10^17, 3.1 10^17, 2.1 10^17, 9.3 10^16 cm^-2, and < 5 10^16 cm^-2 for HCN, C2H2, C4H2, C6H2, and C8H2, respectively. The observations indicate that both the rotational and vibrational temperatures in the innermost CSE depend on the molecule, varying from 100 to 350 K for the rotational temperatures and 100 to 500 K for the vibrational temperatures. Our results support a chemistry in the innermost CSE based on radical-neutral reactions triggered by the intense UV radiation field.

title: The politics of economic transition : 'shock therapy' in Poland 1990-1991
Creators: name: Spiro, Nicholas
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2021

description: In the context of the profound transformative developments in Eastern Europe since 1989. this study examines the political conception and evolution of 'shock therapy' in Poland. As the region's pioneer of neo-liberal engineering, Poland embarked on its post-communist reforms with a singular determination to eliminate hyperinflation and transfer the bulk of its state enterprises into private hands. Emboldened by a unique window of opportunity in the secondhalf of 1989 and driven by a philosophical attraction to Anglo-Saxon-style capitalism. Finance Minister Leszek Balcerowicz's actions epitomised the 'transition' perspective. Emphasising political imperatives in moments of accelerated change, conventional models, and a technocratic agenda, the 'transition' school chose Poland as its exemplary pupil. The 'adaptation' perspective. by contrast, defended by social democrats such as Ryszard Bugaj, recognised the constraints Polish reformers faced in departing from central planning, notably in their efforts to rid state firms of their self-managed status. Stressing the legacies of the past, indigenous structures, and a negotiated framework, the 'adaptation' school eschews sharp historical demarcations and uniform blueprints. Focusing on the endogenous aspects of the Polish transformation. this research demonstrates the need for a multifaceted evolutionary approach in which the 'transition' perspective offers insights on the foundations of 'shock therapy' while the 'adaptation' perspective underscores the significance of the self-management inheritance: the former, it is argued, helps explain the success of macroeconomic stabilisation while the latter reveals the impediments to large-scale privatisation. Four political variants of Polish neo-liberalism are presented in the context of a well-defined policy regime which became entrenched during the 1990-1991 years. The spurious 'shock therapy versus gradualism' debate is then explored in order to illustrate the importance of initial conditions - the Hungarian route being of particular relevance. Finally, the views of the standard bearers of both schools, Jeffrey Sachs and John Gray, are discussed, if only to emphasise the need for clarity and specificity in the reform debates.

description: Despite academic interest in the Centrality of Visual Product Aesthetics (CVPA) construct, studies are needed that further explore the importance that specific visual aesthetic properties of apparel holds for consumers. Based on the two-factor theory called the Most Advanced, Yet Acceptable principle (MAYA principle), this study empirically examines the influence of the CVPA on aesthetic preference relative to apparel products. As most studies exploring the MAYA principle have relied on a repeated-measures design, an experimental between-subjects design was employed. By using stimuli of apparel products with various levels of typicality and novelty, the influence of individual differences measured by the CVPA in aesthetic response was investigated. Results suggest that while the MAYA principle holds for the evaluation of the tested products, the CVPA does not moderate their evaluation. Findings also identify product attributes that further clarify the properties of typicality and novelty in the tested products.

description: We consider a straight one-dimensional potential step created across a graphene flake. Charge and spin transport through such a potential step are studied in the presence of both intrinsic and extrinsic (Rashba) spin-orbit coupling (SOC). At normal incidence electrons are completely reflected when the Rashba interaction (with strength $λ_R$) is dominant whereas they are perfectly transmitted if the two types of SOC are exactly balanced. At normal incidence, the transmission probability of the step is thus controlled continuously from 0 to 1 by tuning the ratio of the two types of SOC. Besides the transport of charge in the direction normal to the barrier, we show the existence of a spin transport along the barrier. The magnitude of the spin Hall current is determined by a subtle interplay between the height of the potential step and the position of Fermi energy. It is demonstrated that contributions from inter-band matrix elements and evanescent modes are dominant in spin transport. Moreover, in the case of vanishing extrinsic SOC ($λ_R =0$), each channel carries a conserved spin current, in contrast to the general case of a finite $λ_R$, in which only integrated spin current is a conserved quantity. Finally, we provide a quasi-classical picture of the charge and spin transport by imaging flow lines over the entire sample and Veselago lensing (negative refraction) in the case of a $p-n$ junction.

description: Advances in communication technologies, information technology and medical technologies facilitate the development of effective systems that can be used in support of emergency healthcare (eEmergency). The objectives of the chapter are to provide an overview of the way that information and communication technologies have been used in order to develop systems for emergency healthcare support, present case studies that have been published in the literature, and describe future trends. We anticipate that eEmergency systems can significantly improve the delivery of healthcare during emergency cases. However, their use in daily practice as well as the monitoring and evaluation of these systems still remains a goal to be achieved.
