Mitigating Research Disparities in Neurosurgery:

Towards reducing disparities in disparities research.

BRAIN MAPPING IN NEUROSURGERY

Background and Aim: Brain mapping is a study of the anatomy and function of the CNS (central nervous system). Brain mapping has many techniques and these techniques are permanently changing and updating. From the beginning, brain mapping was invasive and for brain mapping, electrical stimulation of the exposed brain was needed. However, nowadays brain mapping does not require electrical stimula...

Developments in DoS Research and Mitigating Technologies

This paper is a survey on the problem of denial of service attacks and the proposed ways to defend against them. Of particular concern are the distributed attacks that an adversary can carry out by recruiting innocent targets to aid the attack. Since attacks come in many forms and shapes and are generally easy to carry out given the free availability of tools such as Trinoo, defense is difficul...

Mitigating response distortion in IS ethics research

Response distortion attributable to a variety of human motivations has long been a recognized problem for behavioral research relying on self reports by individuals. Researchers studying unethical IS behaviors usually need to solicit self reports because of the secrecy of such behaviors. Unfortunately, the unethical nature of those behaviors often subject self reports to various response distor...

Center of Excellence in Research Reporting in Neurosurgery - Diagnostic Ontology

MOTIVATION Evidence-based medicine (EBM), in the field of neurosurgery, relies on diagnostic studies since Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) are uncommon. However, diagnostic study reporting is less standardized which increases the difficulty in reliably aggregating results. Although there have been several initiatives to standardize reporting, they have shown to be sub-optimal. Additionally,...
