A new pilot model consisting of neural networks and supervisory fuzzy logic control is proposed to reveal a pilot’s control characteristics in the visual approach to landing. The model is constructed from real or simulated flight and can be used for pilot training or assesment.

background: a main factor to change the education from static to dynamic situations is continuous evaluation of academic systems. this study is performed to analyze the students’ viewpoints in terms of the quality of clinical education in birjand university of medical sciences. methods: this is a descriptive and analytical study. the statistical population consists of 135 individuals including ...

Background: Cirrhosis is a dynamic process starts after sustained inflammation, followed by necrosis of liver cells and fibrosis that occur as normal wound healing response then nodular formation eventually lead to hepatic dysfunction. Aim objectives: Study the effect cirrhosis on cerebral cortex subcortical pathways using VEP, Comparison between different VEP check sizes in detection early enc...

Evaluating the practice of ethical review by Research Ethics Committees (REC) could help protect the interests of human participants and promote scientific progress. To facilitate such evaluations, we conducted an ethnographic study of how an REC reviews research proposals during its meetings. We observed 13 meetings of a Dutch REC and studied REC documents. We coded this material inductively a...

Ethics committees are the most important practical instrument of clinical ethics in Belgium and fulfil three tasks: the ethical review of experimental protocols, advising on the ethical aspects of healthcare practice, and ethics consultation. In this article the authors examine the current situation of ethics committees in Belgium from the perspective of clinical ethics. Firstly, the most impor...

In order to rank the performance of machine learning algorithms, many researchers conduct experiments on benchmark data sets. Since most learning algorithms have domain-specific parameters, it is a popular custom to adapt these parameters to obtain a minimal error rate on the test set. The same rate is then used to rank the algorithm, which causes an opt imistic bias. We quantify this bias, sho...

Traditionally, Bayes factors, posterior odds and posterior model probabilities are used in Bayesian model selection. This approach has, however, the problem that the conclusions are often too sensitive to prior specifications. Another approach is to use discrepancy measures in model comparison and posterior predictive checks in the assesment of model adequecy. These approaches are briefly summa...

concurrently, organizations must respond effectively to social expectations and moral law and to achieve success in all areas and by respecting professional ethics adopt an appropriate procedure to achieve these expectations align with organizational goals to facilitates promotion of social accountability and realization of higher goals. in this study, we have formulated a framework by reviewin...

Extensive United States combat operations commenced for the first time in over decade in 2003. Early in 2004 there was no human research protection regulatory review and approval mechanism based in a deployed military combatant command. The absence of such a system presented a critical impediment to implementation of the time-honored tradition of a robust combat casualty care research effort. A...
