Integrating information technology (IT) into medical settings is considered essential to transforming hospitals into 21st-century health care institutions. Yet the role of IT departments in maximizing the effectiveness of information systems is not well understood. This article reports a 3-round Delphi panel of Veterans Administration personnel experienced with provider order entry electronic s...

Semantic labelling and instance segmentation are two tasks that require particularly costly annotations. Starting from weak supervision in the form of bounding box detection annotations, we propose to recursively train a convnet such that outputs are improved after each iteration. We explore which aspects affect the recursive training, and which is the most suitable box-guided segmentation to u...

BACKGROUND Regular physical activity may improve different aspects of wellbeing in older people, such as quality of life, vitality and depression. However, there is little experimental evidence to support this assumption. Therefore, we examined the effect of different training protocols on quality of life, vitality and depression of older adults living in long-term care facilities. METHODS Su...

Defining Talent Let’s define talent as a combination of three things what we know via training, education and experience, what we like to do, and what we can handle in terms of complexity, and then, let’s define jobs in the same way what you must know, what you must do, and what level of complexity is involved. Once this is done, we can easily put round pegs in round holes, square pegs in squar...

The RoboPatriots from George Mason University are a team of three humanoid robots. As we are interested in embodied AI, our robots are based on commercially available equipment. We use the three on-board computers for research into learning from demonstration, a supervised machine learning technique for training robot behavior. RoboCup 2012 marks the fourth year of participation for the RoboPat...

BACKGROUND From 2003 to 2005, the European Union supported the EQUAL-initiative to develop methodological external quality assessment (EQA) schemes for genotyping (EQUALqual), quantitative PCR (EQUALquant), and sequencing (EQUALseq). As a relevant part of the EQUALseq program, a training course was held subsequent to the first EQA Program (EQAP1). The success of this course was reassessed in a ...
