Concerning Clinical Engineering : From a Nurse Standpoint

From the Standpoint of the Professor of Engineering.

-ci ASPECTS OF COMPUTER CONTROL FROM THE HUMAN ENGINEERING STANDPOINT*

A Computer Control System includes dataacquisition, information display and output control signals. In order to design such a system effectively we must first determine the required operational mode: automatic control (closed loop), computer assisted (open loop), or hybrid control. The choice of operating mode will depend on the nature of the plant, the complexity of the operation, the funds av...

An Operational Standpoint in Electrical Engineering

In electrical engineering education exists a major difficulty for first level students, namely the Laplace transform. The question is: does this ubiquitous tool is needed in an electrical engineering course? Our answer is: Obviously, not. Based on an operational standpoint the paper describes some guidelines and results for a primer on handling signals and linear systems without using the Lapla...

Program Factory - A Conception of Knowledge Representation of Scientific Artifacts from Standpoint of Software Engineering

The factory of the programs is created by students of the cybernetics department at KNU. A primary objective of this factory is the electronic presentation of the “Software engineering” textbook, created based on international programs “Curricula-2001” and intended for mastering of this discipline by students and acquiring knowledge on these fundamental aspects. It is used for implementation by...

Affective Touch from a Philosophical Standpoint

This chapter offers a critical philosophical examination of recent work on pleasant (or affective) touch. After developing a distinction between two notions of perceptual affect, I argue that “emotional” and “affi liative” touch are best understood as causing affective reactions, and that affective touch is best understood as perceptually presenting us with affective qualities. In other words, ...
