accepted by the World Health Organization, the novel algorithms of RAC CP Fun aim to facilitate children's activity and participation through pleasurable game-like human-robot interaction. At the same time, these algorithms utilize the motor learning approach, which is based on principles of repetition, stages of learning, appropriate feedback, random practice, and enriched environments. In thi...

Enterprise application integrations involve the participation of several existing applications with which the integration solution exchanges data over LANs and the Internet. In these scenarios, operations might occasionally produce exceptional results at runtime due to impairments introduced by the electronic infrastructure such as node crashes, messages lost, delayed or incorrectly composed by...

However, the methodology by which these diseases are identified (including preparticipation screening) and how athletes come to evaluation for competitive eligibility, may involve several s...

This paper presents the participation of the Pattern Recognition and Application Group (PRA Group) and the Ambient Intelligence (AmILAB) in the ImageCLEF 2012 Personal Photo Retrieval Pilot Task. This is a pilot task that aims to provide a test bed for QBE-based retrieval scenarios in the scope of personal information retrieval based on a collection of 5,555 personal images plus rich meta-data....

For this first participation to the CHiC Lab, we focused on understanding the challenges of working with a collection of cultural heritage objects with short textual descriptions and on how to fine-tune a set of weighting models from the probability models based on Divergence From Randomness to perform uniformly in monolingual and multilingual scenarios. The official runs submitted used PL2 as ...

The potential for medication error is great with chemotherapy agents because of their high toxicity profile, small therapeutic index, and numerous dose-limiting adverse effects. The oncology team involved with chemotherapy treatment planning and administration assumes an active role in preventing such events by obtaining and maintaining competency in dose calculations, having knowledge of dose-...
