background: teaching of theoretical and practical first aids are  important courses for medical sciences students. if these courses are  taught with evidence based medicine(ebm), they will be learned better by students. the objective of this study  was the  determination of the  effect of evidence based medical education on learning of first aids. methods: this study had been performed inthe pl...

Error sources that afflict true zero order, compound zero order and multi-order linear retarders include variations in temperature, angle of incidence, wavelength, and the presence of multiple reflections. This application note contains technical information designed to aid the user in producing the highest quality results and in making the best purchasing choice among retarder types for the in...

Complications of the surgery for head and neck cancer may be catastrophic or noncatastrophic. Recognition of this is frequently as important as the method of resolution. A general classification of complications as anatomic, physiologic, technical, and functional will aid in recognition and prevention of these problems in this difficult group of patients.

This paper discusses our experience with the deployment of requirements-based test generation within a large industrial setting. In doing so, we present an overview of our technologies and changes to the technical approach needed to aid deployment, specifically the introduction of requirements validation.

This paper presents the application of automatic analysis (of statistical and symbolic nature) for the detection and processing of metalanguage in highly technical texts from various domains. The selective metalinguistic information extraction performed by the MOP system allows compilation of non-conventional lexicons to aid domain-restricted NLP.

Given the frequency of the disease and the difficulty of tumor resections, image-guided surgery technologies may aid the surgical management of prostate cancer patients. The "from molecule to man" translation of such approaches is, however, complex and depends on many different features, both from a technical and a practical perspective.

This paper reports on a one year speculative research project that sought to test the technical feasibility, practical implications and usability of transforming an XML Encoded Archival Description (EAD) finding aid into an XML ZigZagTM structure and applying a relational browser interface.

Data integration is complex often requiring much technical knowledge and expert understanding of the data and its meaning. In this paper we investigate the use of current semantic tools as an aid to data integration, and identify the need to modify these tools to meet the needs of spatial data. Illustrating the benefits of exposing the semantics of integration through creation of a demonstrator.

In today's world with companies operating in a global business environment. Most enterprises, and especially the SMEs, lack the necessary business culture, technical and non-technical infrastructure and economic flexibility in order to efficiently adjust to the environment of a B2B integration framework. This paper proposes an Enterprise Integration Assessment Framework (EIAF) and its support s...
