OBJECTIVE To identify the most prevalent patterns of technical errors in surgery, and evaluate commonly recommended interventions in light of these patterns. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA The majority of surgical adverse events involve technical errors, but little is known about the nature and causes of these events. We examined characteristics of technical errors and common contributing factors am...

Developing cooperative systems and social media requires taking complex decisions concerning the social interaction to be supported as well as the technical foundation. In this paper we build on the long and successful tradition of design patterns and the social framework of Erving Goffman. We present design patterns that address both challenges of social interaction and technical foundation—th...

Technical traders base their analysis on the premise that the patterns in market prices are assumed to recur in the future, and thus, these patterns can be used for predictive purposes. This paper uses the daily Dow Jones Industrial Average Index from 1897 to 1988 to examine the linear and nonlinear predictability of stock market returns with simple technical trading rules. The nonlinear specif...

The present paper proposes a technical analysis method for extracting information about movement patterning in studies of motor control, based on a cluster analysis of movement kinematics. In a tutorial fashion, data from three different experiments are presented to exemplify and validate the technical method. When applied to three different basketball-shooting techniques, the method clearly di...

The purpose of EAM patterns can be seen to supplement existing EAM frameworks, which often only provide generic approaches in implementing, maintaining, and analysing an Enterprise Architecture. This is done by providing additional concepts, tailorable to the EAM problems at hand. This paper extends the existing EAM patterns approach of the Technical University of Munich by defining a concept f...

Pattern making is the art of designing patterns by making templates from which clothing and craft items can be sewn. A pattern making process actually help to come out with the imagination of designer from the sketching till real product. Pattern makers are also called ‘Technical Designers’. When Fashion Designers complete their garment designing, Technical Designers starts their work to prepar...

This study used a cross-case analysis methodology to compare four line-of-inquiry studies of desktop virtual environments (DVEs) to examine the relationships of gender and computer gaming experience to learning performance and perceptions. Comparison was made of learning patterns in a general non-technical DVE with patterns in technically complex, occupationally-specific DVEs. Two oppositely-ge...

In this paper, we present a technique that we have developed to transform sequences of technical events into more abstract actions and semantic activities. The sequences of more abstract units are then used for discovering patterns of students’ interaction with computer models using heuristic miner. Our proposed approach automatically segments sequences of technical events that occurred during ...
