Affect and motivation influence the error-related negativity (ERN) elicited by full errors; however, it is unknown whether they also influence ERNs to correct responses accompanied by covert incorrect response activation (partial errors). Here we compared a neutral condition with conditions, where correct responses were rewarded or where incorrect responses were punished with gains and losses o...

Dependency parsers are usually evaluated on attachment accuracy. Whilst easily interpreted, the metric does not illustrate the cascading impact of errors, where the parser chooses an incorrect arc, and is subsequently forced to choose further incorrect arcs elsewhere in the parse. We apply arc-level constraints to MSTparser and ZPar, enforcing the correct analysis of specific error classes, whi...

Machine code disassembly routines form a fundamental component of software systems that statically analyze or modify executable programs. The task of disassembly is complicated by indirect jumps and the presence of nonexecutable data—jump tables, alignment bytes, etc.—in the instruction stream. Existing disassembly algorithms are not always able to cope successfully with executable files contai...

BACKGROUND Hospital pharmacies dispense large numbers of medication doses for hospitalized patients. A study was conducted at an academic tertiary care hospital to characterize the incidence and severity of medication dispensing errors in a hospital pharmacy. METHODS Direct observation of dispensing processes was undertaken to determine presence of errors with review by a physician panel to d...

This paper investigates the perceptual importance of typical errors occurring when transcribing polyphonic music excerpts into a symbolic form. The case of the automatic transcription of piano music is taken as the target application and two subjective tests are designed. The main test aims at understanding how human subjects rank typical transcription errors such as note insertion, deletion or...

This paper presents a new algorithm for correcting incorrect projections of a polyhedral scene. Such projections arise in applications where an image of a polyhedral world is taken and its edges and vertices are extracted. Along the way, the true positions of the vertices in the 2D projection are perturbed due to digitization errors and the preprocessing. As most available algorithms for recons...

This article has summarized parts of certain publica­tions about changes of hematopoietic elements, specially erythroid, during embryonic and fetal to the third postnatal life. The main purpose of this article is to familiarize medical students with the physiological characteristics of the blood system, chiefly in the first trimenon of postnatal life.  It is also aimed to prevent many incorrec...
