When embedding DSP systems, a designer must meet not only functional but also many other requirements, such as low resource requirements, real−time constraints and low power consumption. The design flow used in prototyping such systems usually includes high−level languages for specification capture and then involves a number of tradi−tional steps until the system is synthesized. Those steps oft...

This paper presents a systematic review of the recent development in ubiquitous robotics, with a focus on its implication on intelligence. Ubiquitous robot (Ubibot), the third generation robot, is characterized by its unprecedented power to sense environments and provide sophisticated services autonomously. Based on the architectures of existing Ubibot projects, we describe a general framework ...

The purpose of this research paper is to review the literature and suggest the relationships between organizational change through implementation of new health information technology (HIT) and/or reconfiguration of existing HIT, practitioner anxiety, and effective caring practitioner/patient and practitioner/practitioner relationships using a conceptual framework of Relationship Centered Care (...

During taxonomic investigations of nematodes that parasitize millipedes, we reviewed the literature on the nematode genus Robertia Travassos & Kloss, 1961. This literature search also revealed the existence of two other identical genusgroup names for taxa in Chordata and Arthropoda: Robertia Boonstra, 1948 (extinct Permian non-mammalian synapsid) and Robertia Saaristo, 2006 (theridiid spider fr...

Abstract Introduction Primary care nurse practitioners (NPs) receive little to no sleep education in graduate programs despite being first-line providers for patients presenting with sleep-related symptoms. Sleep curriculum has been consistently identified as a gap nursing and confirmed recent survey studies of nurses NPs. Methods Qualitative descriptive study explore NP students’ reactions an ...

Thomas David Barton provides an overview of practitioner ethnography, a research approach that provides practitioners with a way of exploring the culture of their workplace. He compares practitioner and traditional ethnography and looks at the pros and cons of the method.

41 P art of the art of medicine, like in Goldilocks and the Three Bears, is getting it " just right " when it comes to under-diagnosing or over-diagnosing condi-tions—providing false negatives or false positives—in day-today practice. This is especially important, but problematical, when a new diagnosis appears on the scene because , in my experience, such new conditions often either continue t...
