The last several years have witnessed the introduction of a number of resource discovery systems to the Internet. Archie, Gopher, and the WorldWide Web are common examples which have achieved widespread popularity. These systems are typically categorized as either searchers, or browsers, depending upon their approach to the information discovery problem. Both methodologies have their respective...

In the 1970s Archie Cochrane noted that many healthcare procedures and forms of organisation lacked evidence of effectiveness and efficiency, and argued for improved methods of evaluation, moving from clinical opinion and observation to randomised controlled trials (RCTs). His arguments gradually became accepted in medicine, but there has been considerable resistance among policymakers and rese...

TUNTURI, ARCHIE R. Statistical properties of near threshold responses to brief sounds in MES auditory cortex of the anesthetized dog. Am. J. Physiol. Ig6(6): I 168-1174. Igsg.-Evokedresponsesto near threshold Jo pulses recorded with a so-channel cathode ray oscilloscope from the MES auditory cortex were analyzed statistically. Observations were taken at 3-msec. epochs for approximately 180 msec...

We believe that Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) will prove applicable to design, at least in part because we have seen designers making extensive use of past cases. Construction of useful systems, however, requires resolution of many open issues. In this paper we consider three issues in particular: 1) What sort of content should be captured in a design case? 2) How should the content of a complex c...

One of the primary methods to determine water saturation is logging measurement which uses models. Archie`s interpretation model estimate in clean formations has successfully been useful over years. However, shaly sand formation this yields inaccurate estimates due effects. Many models have developed; unfortunately; there no unique works best for all as subsurface information may be limited and...

BACKGROUND We sought to define quality in telehealth and telecare with the aim of improving the proportion of patients who receive appropriate, acceptable and workable technologies and services to support them living with illness or disability. METHODS This was a three-phase study: (1) interviews with seven technology suppliers and 14 service providers, (2) ethnographic case studies of 40 peo...

where (~xn) ∈ B and B is a Boolean algebra. Only finite Boolean algebras are considered. The Boolean logic presented is based on the abstract Boolean algebra given by Huntington’s [14] postulates and on a special canonical form for a Boolean function given by Archie Blake [2]. The theory of reasoning is divided into functional and general parts, both of which seek antecedents or consequents of ...

The predictability of masonry arch bridges and their behaviour is widely considered doubtful due to the lack of knowledge about the conditions of a given masonry arch bridge. The assessment methods for masonry arch bridges are MEXE, ARCHIE, RING and Frame Analysis Method. The material properties of the masonry and fill material are extremely difficult to determine accurately. Consequently, it i...
