purpose: the cataloging in publication (cip) is a vital and reliable sources for cataloging in many libraries. for this reason, the current study examines the extent of accuracy of lc classification numbers presented in cips' records of 155 persian books cataloged in the faculty of veterinary medicine library of university of tehran. methodology: using content analysis method the cips of 1...

OBJECTIVE To explore types of e-prescribing errors in community pharmacies and their potential consequences, as well as the factors that contribute to e-prescribing errors. METHODS Data collection involved performing 45 total hours of direct observations in five pharmacies. Follow-up interviews were conducted with 20 study participants. Transcripts from observations and interviews were subjec...

We extend our n-gram-based data-driven prediction approach from the Helping Our Own (HOO) 2011 Shared Task (Boyd and Meurers, 2011) to identify determiner and preposition errors in non-native English essays from the Cambridge Learner Corpus FCE Dataset (Yannakoudakis et al., 2011) as part of the HOO 2012 Shared Task. Our system focuses on three error categories: missing determiner, incorrect de...

This paper presents a method for formal verification of automotive collision avoidance systems. Using viability theory and reachability analysis, we define when the system should intervene, i.e. the unsafe set, and when the system should not intervene, i.e. the safe set. Given these sets, we formulate the problem of verifying that a given system does not make incorrect decisions as an optimizat...

Automatic morphosyntactic tagging of corpora is usually imperfect. Wrong or strange tagging may be automatically repeated following some patterns. It is usually hard to manually detect all these errors, as corpora may contain millions of tags. This paper presents an approach to detect sequences of part-of-speech tags that have an internal cohesiveness in corpora. Some sequences match to syntact...

Novice programmers usually experience a number of learning difficulties. The main aim of the study reported in this paper, is to identify these problem areas for first time procedural programmers. The paper describes the overall methodology employed to determine these learning difficulties. The study revealed that the most frequently occurring problems are poor planning and problem solving abil...

PURPOSE To evaluate the percentage, frequency, and types of medication history errors made by pharmacy technicians compared with nurses in the emergency department (ED) to determine if patient safety and care can be improved while reducing nurses' workloads. METHODS Medication history errors were evaluated in a pre-post study comparing a historical control group (nurses) prior to the implemen...

A collection of 3208 reported errors of Chinese words were analyzed. Among which, 7.2% involved rarely used character, and 98.4% were assigned common classifications of their causes by human subjects. In particular, 80% of the errors observed in writings of middle school students were related to the pronunciations and 30% were related to the compositions of words. Experimental results show that...

computational errors in numerical data processing may be detected efficiently by using parity values associated with real number codes, even when inherent round off errors are allowed in addition to failure disruptions. this paper examines correcting turbo codes by straightforward application of an algorithm derived for finite-field codes, modified to operate over any field. there are syndromes...
