Artificial intelligence (AI) systems have many applications with tremendous current and future value to human society. As AI penetrate the aspects of everyday life, a pressing need arises explain their decision-making processes build trust familiarity among end users. In high-stakes fields such as healthcare self-driving cars, are required minimum standard for accuracy provide well-designed exp...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study is to assess the utility of web-based mobile technology monitoring tool, for ensuring linkages, and tracking of HIV-exposed child until 18 months of age. METHODS The 'early infant diagnosis (EID) Follow-up System' was designed as a tool for reminding the field level staff for follow-up of HIV-exposed babies. Using Java Swing Framework, software was develope...

The goal of this paper is to illustrate the potential use of Ecological Interface Design (EID), with an additional attentional mapping step, to design sonifications for complex real time systems. EID aims to support the human operator’s reasoning at different levels of abstraction, so that an interface maps physical functions and measurement to higher order processes. Sonification “the transfor...

BACKGROUND Some experimental evidence suggests that uric acid impairs endothelial function. It is controversial if high uric acid levels and impaired endothelial function are related in healthy adults. In addition, the effect of uric acid on endothelial cells (ECs) of humans is unexplored. METHODS Data of 107 healthy adult volunteers were analyzed. The association between serum uric acid and ...

Ecological Interface Design (EID) is a theoretical framework for designing interfaces for complex human – machine systems . This article investigates the utility of EID in inducing ef fective real-time operator control performance during both normal and abnormal conditions . Two interfaces for a thermal-hydraulic process were compared , an EID interface based on physical and functional (P 1 F) ...

BACKGROUND The SMC5-6 protein complex is involved in the cellular response to DNA damage. It is composed of 6-8 polypeptides, of which Nse1, Nse3 and Nse4 form a tight sub-complex. MAGEG1, the mammalian ortholog of Nse3, is the founding member of the MAGE (melanoma-associated antigen) protein family and Nse4 is related to the EID (E1A-like inhibitor of differentiation) family of transcriptional...

New infectious diseases emerge with a high regularity; it has recently been estimated that a novel infectious disease agent either emerges or re-emerges approximately every 8 months. This latter statistic is supported by the observation that there have been over 335 emerging infectious disease (EID) events between 1940 and 2004 (Jones et al., 2008). Of course, not all of these EID events repres...

Correction: Vol. 19, No. 7 The article Human Alveolar Echinococcosis in Kyrgyzstan (J. Usubalieva et al.) incorrectly labeled the y-axis of Figure 1. The corrected figure and caption are reproduced here, and the article has been corrected online (wwwnc.cdc.gov/ EID/article/19/7/12-1405_ article.htm). Figure 1. Number of alveoloar echinococcosis cases reported in Kyrgyzstan, by patient sex, 1995...
