Parks as Shibboleths

Detecting Shibboleths

A SHIBBOLETH is a pronunciation, or, more generally, a variant of speech that betrays where a speaker is from (Judges 12:6). We propose a generalization of the well-known precision and recall scores to deal with the case of detecting distinctive, characteristic variants when the analysis is based on numerical difference scores. We also compare our proposal to Fisher’s linear discriminant, and w...

Anesthesia dogmas and shibboleths: barriers to patient safety?

Anesthesia delivery in the United States has evolved significantly over the past 30 years with the introduction and routine use of pulse oximetry, capnography, modern drugs, and newer airway management devices, and there is general consensus that the anesthetic experience in 2011 is far safer than the anesthetic experience of 1980. However, those of us delivering anesthesia care during much of ...

Power Parks System Simulation

The objective is to develop a system model to simulate distributed power generation in power parks, where power generation is co-located with businesses or industries. The deliverable of the project will be a tool for simulation of the local power generation system, constructed in the Simulink software. We have developed a library of modules for the various components being proposed for power p...
