One well-known manifestation of pooling is feature averaging, with which...

The “strange phenomenon”, discovered by Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen in the nineteenth century, that sensitized barium platinocyanide plates at the time of their studies on cathode rays in the gas tube, were called Ray X. The discovery of these new rays with singular characteristics gave greater clinical and practical insight into dentistry. This new form of energy gave rise to imaging obtained from ...

Affect and motivation influence the error-related negativity (ERN) elicited by full errors; however, it is unknown whether they also influence ERNs to correct responses accompanied by covert incorrect response activation (partial errors). Here we compared a neutral condition with conditions, where correct responses were rewarded or where incorrect responses were punished with gains and losses o...

Introduction: Pediatric patients cared for in professional healthcare settings are at high risk of medication errors. Interventions to improve patient safety often focus on prescribing; however, the subsequent stages use process (dispensing, drug administration, and monitoring) also error-prone. This systematic review aims identify analyze interventions reduce dispensing, monitoring errors pedi...

BACKGROUND Proper classification of child occupant restraint use is dependent on the age of the child occupant. Observations of vehicle restraint use involve estimating child age. If estimates of age are incorrect, then a potential for misclassification of restraint use exists. OBJECTIVE To compare estimated and confirmed child occupant age and calculate the impact of errors in age estimates ...
