Human errors occur frequently in the interaction of a user with an operating system. However, current user interfaces of operating systems lack some reasoning ability about user’s intentions and beliefs. Intelligent Help Systems (IHS) can provide additional reasoning and help. This paper presents a discussion of the features of IHSs and a review of a few IHSs for users of operating systems. The...

© 2009 The Serbian Association of Dermatovenereologists for both the parents and the growing child, especially when on the face and neck, and parents are anxious to achieve early improvement rather than wait and see. Even though treatment is not warranted for small and superficial IHs, since the overall outcome may be compared with spontaneous involution in the long term, early non-aggressive t...

Immediate hypersensitivity (IHS) reactions to macrolides and to macrolide-derived antibiotics like pristinamycin are uncommon. In this context, there is little data available to appreciate the true value of biological tools regarding the diagnosis of immediate allergy to pristinamycin. Here we assess the clinical usefulness of the basophil activation test (BAT) to differentiate allergic from no...

Abstract We characterize conjugacy classes of isometries odd prime order in unimodular ${\mathbb {Z}}$-lattices. This is applied to give a complete classification non-symplectic automorphisms the known deformation types irreducible holomorphic symplectic manifolds up and birational conjugacy.

In this study, a holistic energy, economic and environmental assessment was performed on prosumer-based district heating system, including scenarios with varying size, retrofitting stages system configurations. A modeling framework built which comprises thermal network design simulation model; building energy demand model for districts; supply storage technology models that allow assessing sola...

The ability of nature inspired search algorithms to efficiently handle combinatorial problems and their successful implementation in many fields of engineering and applied sciences has led to the development of new, improved algorithms. In this paper, an improved harmony search algorithm (IHS) is presented, while a holistic approach in solving the problem of post-disaster infrastructure managem...

Most Earth observational satellites are not able to acquire high spatial and spectral resolution data simultaneously because of design or observational constraints. To overcome such limitations, image fusion techniques are use. Image fusion is process combine different satellite images on a pixel by pixel basis to produce fused images of higher value. The value adding is meant in terms of infor...

Colorectal cancer is a great concern for the American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) community, as incidence and mortality rates remain high and screening rates stay low. We conducted interviews with community leaders (n=13) and with providers from the Indian Health Service (IHS), tribal clinics, and urban safety-net clinics (n=17) in Northeast Kansas and the Kansas City Metro Area to determine t...
