In 2009, Griffith University School of Dentistry and Oral Health, in Queensland, Australia, introduced into its various curricula the concept of team-based treatment planning (TBTP), aiming to facilitate intraprofessional, interdisciplinary training and peer learning among its students. Fifty student teams were organized, each of which included students from three programs (Dental Science, Oral...

The paper presents two useful extensions of the incremental SVM in the context of online learning. An online support vector data description algorithm enables application of the online paradigm to unsupervised learning. Furthermore, online learning can be used in the large-scale classification problems to limit the memory requirements for storage of the kernel matrix. The proposed algorithms ar...

Many of Indiana fire deaths were in homes with non-working smoke alarms Indiana Mortuary Emergency Response Team (I-MERT) and Indiana Disaster Portable Mortuary Unit (I-DPMU) work together in a mass casualty incident that has overwhelmed local resources. But what's the difference between the two? The Indiana Disaster Portable Mortuary Unit (I-DPMU) has an operational team made up of volunteers ...

OBJECTIVE To determine the accuracy of psychiatric diagnoses made by two community psychogeriatric teams operating a multidisciplinary assessment procedure. DESIGN Comparison of team diagnosis with independent formal assessment and consensus diagnosis by research psychiatrists. SETTING Two community psychogeriatric teams with similar operational policies in an inner London health district. ...

Large-scale environmental sensing, e.g., understanding microbial processes in an aquatic ecosystem, requires coordination across a multidisciplinary team of experts working closely with

The half-day tutorial provides an overview of the Introductory Team Software Process (TSPi) The TSPi was developed by Watts Humphrey at the Software Engineering Institute (SEI), and is based upon the Personal Software Process (SM) (PSP)(SM) [1] and the Team Software Process (SM) (TSP)(SM) [2]. The TSPi guides students through the steps of a team software project course. The pre-defined TSPi pro...

Teamwork is integral to a working environment conducive to patient safety and care. Team training is one methodology designed to equip team members with the competencies necessary for optimizing teamwork. There is evidence of team training's effectiveness in highly complex and dynamic work environments, such as aviation and health care. However, most quantitative evaluations of training do not ...

Developing assessment methods that capture an individual’s capability to collaborate can look to the team and multiteam systems literature, which identifies six critical components of collaboration. These six include team affect/motivation, team interaction processes, and team cognition, as well as corresponding constructs at the system level, multiteam affect/motivation, between-team interacti...

In a complex project environment, project teams face multi-dimensional communication problems that can ultimately lead to project breakdown. Team Performance varies in Face-to-Face (FTF) environment versus groups working remotely in a computermediated communication (CMC) environment. A brief review of the Input_Process_Output model suggested by James E. Driskell, Paul H. Radtke and Eduardo Sala...
