  • The mobile telecommunication sector is increasingly gathering way becoming a key area for the economic development in Uzbekistan. One way to promote competition among providers is the introduction of a number portability service. This paper estimates subscriber's willingness to pay (WTP) for the MNP service in the mobile communication market in Uzbekistan. Consumer valuation was estimated using a conjoint analysis. Since number portability had not been introduced at the time of the study, stated preference data from the conjoint survey was used. Results indicate that currently subscribers do not attach a lot of importance to the MNP service, while price and service quality are most valuable components. The results of this study provide important implication for mobile network operators and policy developers on potential MNP implementation.

  • This experimental investigation was aimed at gathering information on the flexural properties, including ductility, of high-strength lightweight concrete members(concrete with a dry unit weight of approximately 1.85t/$\textrm{m}^3$ and with compressive strength approaching 630kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at 56days) under reversed cyclic loading. Two sets of six specimens each were manufactured using lightweght aggregate concrete having compressive strength of 350kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at 28days and 630kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at 56days. The test variables were the concrete strength, the amount of longitudinal reinforcement, and the spacing of ties. The test results, including hysteretic load-deflection curves, for the specimens representing columns under zero axial load are reported in this paper.

  • We had retrospective analysis of 421 patients who were consulted from other departments. From 1994 to 1997, these patients received nerve blocks, intravenous lidocaine infusion, lasers and so on for their pain. From these results, we are gathering information and making some recommandations. The largest percentage of patients were in their fifties with a distribution of 32.8% male and 55.1% female. The most common condition requiring treatment was low back pain 44.6%, followed by cancer pain 19.2%, cervical pain 7.4%, and shoulder pain 4.3%. In case of low back pain, the largest portion was HNP(27%), followed by spinal stenosis(16%), sprain(11%), and postlaminectomy(10%). The most common cacer was colorectal(28.4%) and the next was stomach(19.7%). The most commonly done nerve block was stellate ganglion block 32.3%, followed by lumbar epidural block 24.5% and caudal block 7.2%.

  • The purpose of this research is to examination whether End-User Computing relative factors are ap-plied in Computer Assisted Reporting. Computer Assisted Reporting is closely related to End-User Computing, because IT and IS be used by reporting for data gathering and analysis. For the purpose, we've produced a survey, and then studied the effects of the use of Computer Assisted Reporting tools on the report's satisfaction and job performance. As a result, The degree of use of Computer Assisted Reporting significantly affects the degree of satisfaction and job performance. for this reason, this research can give an insight for the extension of End-User Computing relative research.

  • The eyes are the first sensory organs to perceive the environment. We become accustomed to the environment with our eyes. When we contact the environment, we perceive the appearance of an object with our eyes. Then we recognize our position, and perceive the shape surrounding the object interacting with space. The perception of seeing constructs experiences which control most of our recognition, and the experiences are images of the environment surrounding it. So they are significantly expressed into sensitive and mental elements of material and non-material world. Gibson's ecological perception theory analyzes and information system, which helps man to move effectively, and its component stimulus'. The important thing is that we should understand the combination of systems gathering stimulus not as an individual system but as one whole system.

  • In designing and evaluating a new product, the company needs to give thought to the entire spectrum of produceability, usability, and ultimate reliability, as well as safety of users. For each design review(DR) stage, a formal, systematic, documented review and evaluation of a product design is conducted to assure that the product is safe and reliable, that costs and materials have been optimized, and that the design complies with its specifications and requirements. This paper presents how to improve development process for product's safety and reliability. The process requires gathering the appropriate information, determining the limits of the product, estimating risk associated with the task-hazard combinations, and reducing risk according to a prioritized procedure.
