There are many ways to measure quality before and after software is released. But for commercial and internal-use-only products the most important measurement is the user’s perception of product quality. Unfortunately perception is a very difficult thing to measure so companies attempt to quantify it through running customer satisfaction surveys and through the collection of failure/behavioural...

The influence of phoria-type and myopia on changes to vergence and accommodation during prolonged near-task was examined in 53 children. Participants were classified into phoria and refractive categories based on near phoria and cycloplegic refraction respectively. Measures of near phoria, binocular (BA) and monocular accommodation (MA) were obtained before and during a 20 min task when childre...

This paper describes the development of situational awareness models and applications to assess cybersecurity risks based on Annex ISO 27001:2013. The risk assessment method used is direct testing method, namely audit, exercise penetration testing. this study classified into three levels, high, medium low. A high-risk value an unacceptable value. Meanwhile, low values can be categorized as acce...

This paper describes the creation of a new annotated learner corpus. The aim is to use this corpus to develop an automated system for corrective feedback on students’ writing. With this system, students will be able to receive timely feedback on language errors before they submit their assignments for grading. A corpus of assignments submitted by first year engineering students was compiled, an...

This paper addresses a core question in distributed systems: how should applications be notified of failures? When a distributed system acts on failure reports, the system’s correctness and availability depend on the granularity and semantics of those reports. The system’s availability also depends on coverage (failures are reported), accuracy (reports are justified), and timeliness (reports co...

This paper describes the Fracas computer-integrated or-thopaedic system for assisting surgeons in closed long bone fracture reduction. Fracas' goals are to reduce the surgeon's cumulative exposure to radiation and improve the positioning accuracy by replacing uncorre-lated static uoroscopic images with a virtual reality display of 3D bone models created from preoperative CT and tracked intraope...

Fundamental movement competency is essential for participation in physical activity and for mitigating the risk of injury, which are both key elements of health throughout life. The squat movement pattern is arguably one of the most primal and critical fundamental movements necessary to improve sport performance, to reduce injury risk and to support lifelong physical activity. Based on current ...

Temporomandibular joint ankylosis is defined as bony or fibrous adhesion of the anatomic joint components accompanied by a limitation in opening the mouth, causing difficulties with mastication, speaking and oral hygiene as well as inadvertently influencing mandibular growth. Surgical treatment procedures include arthroplasty of the joint cavity with or without a reconstruction and a coronoidec...

Background and Objectives: One of the main concerns of hospital managers is their ability in improving their organization's performance. The use of quality management and decision-making techniques facilitates managers to achieve this goal. In this research, the corrective activities to increase the quality of hospital services are determined and selected using an integration o...

In a three-dimensional (3D) world most saccades are made towards visual targets that are located at different distances. We previously demonstrated that gaze shifts within 3D space consist of two stages: a target saccade followed by a corrective saccade during gaze fixation that directs the eyes to the physical target location. We proposed that, by accurately positioning the eyes on the visual ...
