A better way to detect growth failure.

Failure Sketches: A Better Way to Debug

One of the main reasons debugging is hard and time consuming is that existing debugging tools do not provide an explanation for the root causes of failures. Additionally, existing techniques either rely on expensive runtime recording or assume existence of a given program input that reliably reproduces the failure, which makes them hard to apply in production scenarios. Consequently, developers...

A Better Way: Measuring Charter School Success and Failure

A New Approach to Detect Congestive Heart Failure Using Symbolic Dynamics Analysis of Electrocardiogram Signal

The aim of this study is to show that the measures derived from Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals many a time perform better than the same measures obtained from heart rate (HR) signals. A comparison was made to investigate how far the nonlinear symbolic dynamics approach helps to characterize the nonlinear properties of ECG signals and HR signals, and thereby discriminate between normal and cong...

A better way to assess bronchoreversibility.

after aerosol drug administration in the laboratory. All of these criteria 1 are based on population-based “clinical” limits rather than the variability of the individual being tested. All criteria compare only the “best of three” predrug and postdrug FEV 1 and/or FVC spirometry values that meet American Thoracic Society standards 2 and ignore data from other forced exhalations. It is surprisi...
