This paper presents an analysis of an electro-optical hazard alerting system based on intruder line-of-sight rate. We use a recently-developed airspace encounter model to analyze intruder line-of-sight rate behavior prior to near miss. We look at a simple hazard alerting system that alerts whenever the line-of-sight rate drops below some set threshold. Simulations demonstrate that such an appro...

Background/Introduction Oral anticoagulation with a vitamin K antagonist (usually warfarin) is recommended for lifelong management post mechanical valve insertion. Effects of warfarin are highly variable and dosing outcomes are usually seen after three or four days. This audit was conducted in line with recommendations from patient safety alert 18 to review current practice of warfarin prescrib...

We report a case of a 23-year-old HIV-negative man with multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis that became evident while he was being treated for M. tuberculosis that was sensitive to all first-line drugs. This case should alert clinicians to consider co-infection as a possible cause of recrudescent disease.

This paper presents the work we have done within the MIRADOR project to design CRIM, a cooperative module for intrusion detection systems (IDS). This module implements functions to manage, cluster, merge and correlate alerts. The clustering and merging functions recognize alerts that correspond to the same occurrence of an attack and create a new alert that merge data contained in these various...

Attack graphs have been widely used for attack modeling, alert correlation, and prediction. In order to address the limitations of current approaches – scalability and impact analysis – we propose a novel framework to analyze massive amounts of alerts in real time, and measure the impact of current and future attacks. Our contribution is threefold. First, we introduce the notion of generalized ...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the after-effects of an acute bout of moderate intensity aerobic cycling exercise on neuroelectric and behavioral indices of efficiency of three attentional networks: alerting, orienting, and executive (conflict) control. Thirty young, highly fit amateur basketball players performed a multifunctional attentional reaction time task, the attention netw...

a bstract background: medication errors and adverse drug events of high alert medication are one of the major problems in therapeutic system. the purpose of the present study was to investigate ‎the effect of clinical supervision model on high alert medication safety in intensive care units nurses. materials and methods: this was a quasi-experimental study conducted on 32 nurses of intensive ca...
