An increasing number of connectionist models have been proposed to explain behavioral deficits in developmental disorders. These simulations motivate serious consideration of the theoretical implications of the claim that a developmental disorder fits within the parameter space of a particular computational model of normal development. The authors examine these issues in depth with respect to a...

An Instant Messager Application based on OpenHash

We propose an open, distributed instant messaging architecture that provides end-users with the freedom of defining their own feature set and allows independent developers to extend the application with their own implementation. To shorten the development cycle, we implemented OpenHash Instant Messager Library (OHIMlib), a library for presence detection. OHIMlib utilizes OpenHash, a publicly av...

Perinatal nurses must have a thorough understanding of pathophysiologic and clinical signs of illness during the immediate newborn period. The length of stay limits the time to identify behavioral cues or subtle changes that could poten...
