Gradually Varied Surfaces and Gradually Varied Functions

The gradually varied surface was introduced and studied in digital and discrete spaces by Chen. The basic idea of introducing gradually varied surfaces is to employ a purely discrete interpolation algorithm to fit a discrete surface when the desired surface is not required to be “smooth.” In this paper, we generalize the concept of gradually varied surfaces. A digital surface is defined as a ma...

Children acquire emotion categories gradually

Some accounts imply that basic-level emotion categories are acquired early and quickly, whereas others imply that they are acquired later and more gradually. Our study examined this question for fear, happiness, sadness, and anger in the context of children’s categorization of emotional facial expressions. Children (N= 168, 2–5 years) first labeled facial expressions of six emotions and were th...

On the use of on-line detection for maintenance of gradually deteriorating systems

This paper deals with condition-based maintenance and non-stationary degradation process due to sudden changes. This is an attempt to propose an adaptive maintenance policy based on the on-line change detection procedure which can help to detect switches from a nominal mode to an accelerated mode in a non informative context about the change mode time.

What's your excuse for Foley use?

Efforts to prevent catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) are underway worldwide. Reducing indwelling urinary catheter (or ‘Foley’) use is a key component of most prevention initiatives, which makes sense given the evidence showing its effectiveness in reducing CAUTI rates. Such an approach, however, requires a specific focus on promoting the use of appropriate indications for a Fo...
