TIME FOR A CULTURE CHANGE-MOVING ACADEMIA FROM DESTRUCTIVE TO CONSTRUCTIVE FEEDBACK

Constructive Real Time Feedback for a Temporal Bone Simulator

As demands on surgical training efficiency increase, there is a stronger need for computer assisted surgical training systems. The ability to provide automated performance feedback and assessment is a critical aspect of such systems. The development of feedback and assessment models will allow the use of surgical simulators as self-guided training systems that act like expert trainers and guide...

Phenomenology of love: The Destructive and Constructive Nature of Love

Love, this eminent humane experience, has been explored not only by writers and poets, but also by philosophers, psychologists and even experimental scientists. This paper aims to discuss a novel aspect in phenomenology of love, as the concept of destructive and constructive nature of love, which is to the best of our knowledge, presented for the first time. The fundamental idea of this paper w...

Idiopathic Granulomatosis Mastitis, Time to a Paradigm Change in Treatment

Idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM) is among the chronic diseases of the breast, which is more common in Middle Eastern countries than in Western countries. Since the etiology of the disease is not well known, there is no international consensus on the management of the disease. Antibiotic, Non-Steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), corticosteroids, cytotoxic and immunosuppressive medi...

A constructive condition for dynamic feedback linearization

The paper deals with dynamic feedback linearization of continuous time a2ne systems. A constructive procedure based on prolongations is proposed. Based on necessary geometric conditions, the algorithm computes a set of prolongation indices. c © 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
