Several toolkits have been proposed in order to ease the development of context-aware systems, providing high-level programming interfaces to man-age context data. One of the main tasks in the development of such systems is the definition of user situations that have to be identified by the system in order to adapt its behaviour. These situations are best defined by domain experts, but usually ...

The main tendency of the modern surgery is the reduction of operational injuries and the refusal of unreasonable operations that allows to reduce the frequency of intra and postoperative complications, which are very difficult sometimes. Today, the possibility of highly informative methods of visual diagnostics (high-definition ultrasound, computed tomography with bolus contrast enhancement, ma...

Most theoretical and empirical studies have consistently demonstrated that insurance markets for high probability events can be expressed by standard expected utility; however, the EUT is inadequate to explain decision making processes in low probability risk situations. The current study aims to investigate the way people make their insurance decisions in low probability and high loss contexts...
