8686 Fluoride and Faulty Reasoning

Educational strategies for improving clinical reasoning.

Clinical reasoning serves as a crucial skill for all physicians regardless of their area of expertise. Helping trainees develop effective and appropriate clinical reasoning abilities is a central aim of medical education. Teaching clinical reasoning however can be a very difficult challenge for practicing physicians. Better understanding of the different cognitive processes involved in physicia...

Integrated Reasoning Approach for Car Faulty Diagnosis

This paper presents an integrated case based and rule based reasoning method for car faulty diagnosis. The reasoning method is done through extracting the past cases from the Proton Service Center while comparing with the preset rules to deduce a diagnosis/solution to a car service case. New cases will be stored to the knowledge base. The test cases examples illustrate the effectiveness of the ...

Hierarchical physical defect reasoning in digital circuits

We propose a hierarchical physical defect-oriented approach for fault diagnosis in combinational digital circuits. We present the circuit as a network of modules. As modules we consider either library components (e.g. complex gates) of digital circuits or arbitrary subcircuits. The higher level fault diagnosis is carried out in two phases. In the first phase, faulty modules are located by cause...

Diagnostic Reasoning in Digital Systems by Kurt Henry Thearling

Described in this thesis is an efficient method for fault diagnosis in digital systems based on the technique of reasoning. The methodology operates on the observed erroneous behavior and the structure of the system. The behavior consists of the error(s) observed on the circuit’s output lines and specific values on the circuit’s input lines. The techniques described in this thesis improve upon ...
