Intelligent Language Tutoring Systems typically attempt to automatically diagnose learner errors in order provide individualized feedback. One common approach is the use of mal-rules extend normative grammars by licensing specific types errors. In finite-state morphologies, can be implemented as two-level rules or replace rules. However, unlike phonological natural languages, do not necessarily...

We present a novel graphical model approach for a problem not previously considered in the machine learning literature: that of tracking with ranked signals. The problem consists of tracking a single target given observations about the target that consist of ranked continuous signals, from unlabeled sources in a cluttered environment. We introduce appropriate factors to handle the imposed order...

the synthesis of nanocrystalline fe3al powder by mechanical alloying as well as the structural ordering of the synthesized fe3al particles during the subsequent thermal analysis were investigated. mechanical alloying was performed up to 100 hours using a planetary ball mill apparatus with rotational speed of 300 rpm under argon atmosphere at ambient temperature. the synthesized powders were cha...

One of the major tasks of autonomous robot navigation elimination of robot errors. These errors are caused by imperfections in the design and mechanical implementation of robots. This paper presents experimental and statistical analysis of wheeled robots. The mobile robots consist of three differential drive robots that tested and moved in given trajectories and then the systematic errors of th...

OBJECTIVE To determine the incidence of adverse drug events (ADEs) and assess their severity and preventability. DESIGN A prospective cohort study. SETTING A 900-bed tertiary academic hospital. PARTICIPANTS A total of 977 patients admitted to two medical, one surgical and two intensive care units over four months. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The primary outcomes were the incidence of ADEs, pr...

BACKGROUND Computerized order entry systems have the potential to prevent medication errors and decrease adverse drug events with the use of clinical-decision support systems presenting alerts to providers. Despite the large volume of medications prescribed in the outpatient setting, few studies have assessed the impact of automated alerts on medication errors related to drug-laboratory interac...

CONTEXT Pharmacist review of medication orders in the intensive care unit (ICU) has been shown to prevent errors, and pharmacist consultation has reduced drug costs. However, whether pharmacist participation in the ICU at the time of drug prescribing reduces adverse events has not been studied. OBJECTIVE To measure the effect of pharmacist participation on medical rounds in the ICU on the rat...
