Learning Objectives Upon the completion of this lesson, the clinician should be able to: 1. Differentiate types of respiratory symptoms (viral versus bacterial) 2. Determine appropriate treatment based on symptoms and etiology. 3. Counsel patients regarding appropriate management of coughs and colds (particularly avoidance of inappropriate antibiotic use). 4. Identify adverse effects and contra...

Upon arrival on scene the crew finds a middle aged overweight male sitting at a table in the cafeteria. The patient is conscious, alert and fidgeting anxiously. He is pale, diaphoretic, and his right hand is balled into a fist and is pressed against the left side of his chest. The patient complains of severe retro-sternal chest pain radiating to his left arm and jaw. The patient describes the p...

A method is described for deriving rules of inference from relations between probabilities of sentences in Nilsson’s probabilistic logic.

This work is devoted to the numerical simulation of the Vlasov equation using a phase space grid. In contrast with Particle In Cell (PIC) methods which are known to be noisy, we propose a semi-Lagrangian type method to discretize the Vlasov equation in the two dimensional phase space. As this kind of method requires a huge computational effort, one has to carry out the simulations on parallel m...

Data Assimilation is a methodological framework used in environmental sciences to perform forecasts with complex systems such as meteorological, oceanographic and air quality models. Data Assimilation requires the resolution of a system with three components: one describing the temporal evolution of the state vector, one coupling the observations and the state vector, and one defining the initi...
