This paper describes the implementation of a model of a driver into a computerised numerical simulation. The model is developed to capture the essential characteristics and common aspects of cognition and behaviour of a human being in control of a “vehicle” in different surface transport systems, namely trains, cars and ships. The main functions of the simulation are discussed as well as the ex...

THIS ARTICLE sets out to examine the potential uses of computer software in infection control, and also discusses the advantages and disadvantages of using computers to enhance infection control in hospitals. The role of the infection control nurse is broadly categorised into one of advisory, education, research and surveillance (Law 1993, Worsley 1988). These categories are explored in relatio...

The ability to represent approximate numerical magnitudes is often referred as the number system (ANS) and has regularly been proposed foundational mathematics achievement. However, some argue that relation between ANS acuity achievement ceases exist when controlling for domain-general cognitive abilities. current debate in literature on whether remains a predictor after strict control applied ...

OBJECTIVE To determine the extent to which computerised decision support can improve concordance of multidisciplinary teams with therapeutic decisions recommended by guidelines. DESIGN Multicentre cluster randomised trial. PARTICIPANTS Multidisciplinary cardiac rehabilitation teams in Dutch centres and their cardiac rehabilitation patients. INTERVENTIONS Teams received an electronic patie...

This paper develops a uniform definition of control system design problems using a vector space. Design difficulties by conventional analytical and numerical means are discussed. Associated problem-classification is presented, together with a possible automation technique that transforms unsolvable design problems to solvable analysis and non-NP design problems. Practically realisable design au...

This paper addresses the question of extending the usual approximation and sampling theory of continuous signals and systems to those encompassing discontinuities, such as found in modern complex control systems (mode switches for instance). We provide some evidence that the Skorokhod topology is a good candidate for dealing with those cases in a uniform manner by showing that, in the boolean c...
