Friendship Bridge Nurses and Vietnamese nurses developed a partnership based on the concepts of collaboration, sustainability, critical mass, and shared vision. This article explores the process of development and issues of implementation of a graduate nursing education program in Vietnam.

Distributed Software Development (DSD) is a recent approach where the teams are geographically distributed. Some characteristics of these environments have significant impact in activities that require constant communication, shared vision and stakeholder’s cooperation, as we have in Requirements

Considerable disparity lies between ophthalmologic impressions of optometric vision therapy, and the reality of optometric vision therapy as practiced in the United States. The viewpoint shared by ophthalmology in particular, and the medical field in general, is one that is filtered through organizational policy statements and the isolated experiences of influential individual practitioners. Th...

A control architecture is presented for real-time, sensor-based, shared control of remote, multiplemanipulator telerobotic systems. The system allows teleoperation, autonomy, or a combination (shared, telerobotic control). The rate-based system accepts control inputs from a variety of sources (joystick position or velocity, automated path planner position or velocity, machine vision, force/mome...

As healthcare organisations seek to enhance safety and quality in a changing environment, organisational learning practices can help to improve existing skills and knowledge and provide opportunities to discover better ways of working together. Leadership at executive, middle management, and local levels is needed to create a sense of shared purpose. This shared vision should help to build effe...

This paper describes a probabilistic method for three-dimensional object recognition using a shared pool of surface signatures. This technique uses flatness, orientation, and convexity signatures that encode the surface of a free-form object into three discriminative vectors, and then creates a shared pool of data by clustering the signatures using a distance function. This method applies the B...

ôbjective: â rare phenomenon of shared psychosis disorder occurring in the context of bipolar ï disorder, in identical twins is reported. çase presentation: two identical twins with shared psychotic manic syndrome were admitted and received antipsychotic and lithium as their treatment. psychotic symptoms of primary case did not improve and her diagnosis changed into schizophrenia. they had hypo...

This paper discusses the development of algorithms for parallel interpretation-tree model matching for 3-D computer vision applications such as object recognition. The algorithms are developed with a prototyping approach using ProSet-Linda. ProSet is a procedural pro-totyping language based on the theory of nite sets. The coordination language Linda provides a distributed shared memory model, c...
