q Pre-operative verification process o Purpose: To ensure that all of the relevant documents and studies are available prior to the start of the procedure and that they have been reviewed and are consistent with each other and with the patient’s expectations and with the team’s understanding of the intended patient, procedure, site and, as applicable, any implants. Missing information or discre...

Holly Smith has done more than anyone to explore and defend the importance of usability for moral theories. In Making Morality Work, she develops a theory that is almost universally usable. But not quite. this article, I argue no usable, in sense most immediately relevant action, even by agents who know all normative facts.1 There knowledge which suffices settle deliberation about what do. Howe...

It's quite difficult to define precisely the word decision, but each of us generally agrees that he has already experienced the concept. Every human being, right or wrong, think that in many occasions he has made a choice between different alternatives. Whether he exercises his free will or bends to some kind of causal necessity, is another (philosophical) question we do not enter into. The int...

The following information was missing from the funding section: BBSRC, DEFRA, NERC, the Scottish Government and the Wellcome Trust, under the Insect Pollinators Initiative crops project. The funders had no role in study design, data collection and analysis, decision to publish, or preparation of the manuscript. Figures 1a, 1b and 1c are in the wrong order. Here are the corrected Figures 1a, 1b ...

We argue that when faced with big data sets, learning and inference algorithms should compute updates using only subsets of data items. We introduce algorithms that use sequential hypothesis tests to adaptively select such a subset of data points. The statistical properties of this subsampling process can be used to control the efficiency and accuracy of learning or inference. In the context of...

Previously presented Interference Subspace Rejection (ISR) [3, 8, 41 proposed a family of new eficient multi-user detectors for CDMA. We reconsider in this paper, the modes of ISR using Decision Feedback (DF). DF modes share similarities with the PIC but attempt to cancel inteference by nulling rather than subtraction. However, like the PIC they are prone to wrong tentative decisions. We propos...

Radio frequency (RF) technique, for its better penetrability over traditional techniques such as infrared or ultrasound, is widely used for indoor localization and tracking. In this paper, three novel measurements, point decision accuracy, path matching error and wrong jumping ratio, are firstly defined to express the localization efficiency. Then, a novel RSSI-based smooth localization (RSL) a...
