INTRODUCTION Procedural parameters in the imperative paradigm are hardly exploited in computing literature. Among the rare examples, Allison used procedural parameters to represent continuations, and van Eijk employed procedural parameters in generating all paths from the root of a binary tree to each of its leaves. To fertilize the field of procedural parameters, this note presents a use of pr...

This paper presents a new definition for Plans The objects defined are called Plan Nets, and are similar in spirit to Sacerdoti's Procedural Nets (1975) It is argued that Plan Nets are more descriptive tham Procedural Nets, because they can easily describe iterative behaviour The Plan Net definition is motivated by providing an operational semantics for the Procedural Net, and noticing that all...

Groups use procedural structures to organize their efforts in meetings. These structures are affected by group members’ preferences for the degree of procedural order they want in a meeting, as well as by the communication media available in the meeting environment. Analysis of thirty partially distributed experimental groups that met over a series of four sessions was conducted by using two me...

OBJECTIVE The goal of this study was to assess the effect of high-fidelity simulation (HFS) pediatric resuscitation training on resident performance and self-reported experience compared with historical controls. METHODS In this case-control study, pediatric residents at a tertiary academic children's hospital participated in a 16-hour HFS resuscitation curriculum. Primary outcome measures in...

Background and Purpose With the advent of endovascular stroke treatment (EST) with mechanical thrombectomy, stroke treatment has also become more challenging. Purpose of this study was to investigate whether a fulltime neuroradiological on-site service and workflow optimization with a structured documentation of the interdisciplinary stroke workflow resulted in improved procedural times. Mate...

STUDY OBJECTIVE To investigate which memory processes are affected by obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). DESIGN Three separate memory systems were investigated in patients with OSA and normal subjects. Verbal episodic memory was tested after forced encoding, in order to control the level of attention during item presentation; procedural memory was tested using a simplified version of a standard t...
