Empirical tests of the application of computer record linkage methods versus the use of routine clerical searching, for bringing together various vital and ill-health records, have shown that the success rate for the computer operation was higher (98.3 versus 96.7 per cent) and the proportion of false linkages very much lower (0.1 versus 2.3 per cent). The rate at which the ill-health records were processed by the computer was approximately 14,000 per minute of central processor time, representing a cost of a half a cent apiece.Factors affecting the speed, accuracy and cost of computerized record linkage are discussed.

ABSTRACT This study investigates whether AIS instructors' selection of topics adequately prepares graduates for the expectations of employers seeking candidates who can adapt to the pace of technological change. As businesses adopt new technologies, stakeholders of the accounting profession must periodically reassess educational needs in the area of accounting information systems (AIS). Because AIS is a field that encompasses a wide variety of conceptual and skill-based topics, the selection of course topics can result in a “gap” between what academics and CPA firms expect from new accountants. Given the variety of topic areas, do academics and CPAs agree on which ones to emphasize, or what levels of proficiency are appropriate for each topic? In this study, academics and accountants, primarily in public practice, completed identical surveys regarding desired levels of proficiencies. The results suggest agreement on desired levels of proficiency regarding computer operation and use of accounting software to complete basic tasks and create reports, while suggesting differences of opinion in six other areas (understanding business cycles in an electronic environment, understanding data-sharing technologies, using XBRL, comprehending business needs and how technology could solve problems, understanding e-commerce, and the basics of safeguarding electronic accounting records). Participants concluded by offering observations about the strengths and weaknesses of newly employed accountants.

This article explores the author's strategy for developing a computer performance system designed for free improvisation with acoustic instruments following a non-idiomatic approach. Philosophical considerations on potentiality and personal and social space and research into the psychology of motivation and behavior have inspired and enabled a different approach to integrating technology with improvisation. The technical realization of a parameter space, in particular utilizing contingent behavior emerging from the convergent mapping of a mixture of controller types, has proven effective for the spontaneous creative decision making required to extend the sonic potential of an acoustic piano while minimizing direct computer operation, as applied regularly in practice by the author.

Abstract With the development of the era of big data and the continuous updating of computer technology, the traditional teaching is not satisfied with the current diversified educational development concept, especially for the computer operation class, computer operation has become the mainstream of the current computer experiment class.With the increasing number of computer experiments and the extensive use of computers in open laboratories, how to manage computer experiments reasonably has become an urgent problem. The function of the computer is powerful, and students have different habits of using the computer, and the entertainment function of the computer is also loved by many students. Therefore, in the process of experiment, students often play games and watch movies, which is not easy to manage. In order to solve these problems, this paper studies the computer experiment management system under the virtual environment to help teachers manage the experiment process. This paper studies the function modules of the computer experiment management system, explains the key elements of the analysis of the implementation of the experiment management system, and explains the construction scheme of the virtual experiment teaching environment, and expounds the ant colony algorithm used in the design and management of the course scheduling system. This paper also analyzes the operation and load of computer experiment management through simulation experiment research, and tests and analyzes to prove the rationality of the management system. The experimental research shows that in the daily computer experiment management system, the most commonly used is the experimental teaching, and the conventional office, accounting for 27.35 and 26.33 respectively. The highest utilization rate of the computer experiment system is the daily teaching, accounting for 53.6%.

In Sweden, large areas of willow plantations designated for energy purposes have been established. Pilot tests, using various waste products from society for fertilisation and/or irrigating purposes, have been carried out at Kagerods wastewater plant since 1992. These tests have clearly shown that recycling of municipal wastewater in Salix plantations, can replace a large part of the conventional wastewater treatment, due to natural purification processes in the soil/plant system. During the last few years, several full-scale treatment plants based on the soil/plant system have been set up. Rosenqvist Mek.Verkstad has developed the irrigation system "RWIS" for distribution of wastewater into the plantation. The system uses a controlled flooding technique, combined with computer operation controlled electric valves placed in the fields. By measuring the flow and having knowledge about the contents of the wastewater, it is possible to have total control over the wastewater that is distributed in a specific area. The irrigation system has to be able to withstand trying conditions, without major maintenance in between harvests.

Many studies defend the use of New Technologies in classrooms. It has been substantially proven that computer operation can be learnt at an early age, and that the use of new technologies can improve a child’s learning process. However, the main problem for the teacher continues to be that he/she cannot pay attention to all children at the same time. Sometimes it is necessary to decide which child must be first attended to. It is in this context that we believe our system has the ability to greatly help teachers: we have developed a learning process control system that allows teachers to determine which students have problems, how many times a child has failed, which activities they are working on and other such useful information, in order to decide how to distribute his/her time. Furthermore, bearing in mind the attention required by kindergarten students, we propose the provision of mobile devices (PDA - Personal Digital Assistant) for teachers, permitting free movement in the classroom and allowing the teacher to continue to help children while information about other students is being received. Therefore if a new problem arises the teacher is immediately notified and can act accordingly.

How to train embedded software development talents that can meet the demands of embedded system companies is a very important task to the computer majors of colleges and universities. Some efficacious measures are given in this paper. These measures include infiltrating embedded software developing ideas and knowledge to existed related computer major courses such as computer operation system, data structure and the principles of computer composition, offering specialized embedded software developing course, studying and researching open source embedded operating system software, and introducing students to participate in embedded software developing course design and application project. Our practical teaching results proved they are very helpful to improve students’ embedded software design ability.
