BACKGROUND Behavioral and psychological symptoms associated with dementia are common in nursing home residents. Quality indicators (QI) assessing quality of care for these residents are minimally risk adjusted and can provide inaccurate information regarding the quality of care provided by the facility. OBJECTIVE Evaluate the performance of a new QI for the incidence of worsening behaviors in...

Clear demonstrations of detailed sequences of thrust development are rare, particularly with respect to hindward-imbricating successions. Similarly, well-constrained chronologies of the timing of multiple thrust motions and associated rates of shortening are also uncommon. Along the eastern oblique ramp of the South-Central Unit (SCU) of the Pyrenees, well-exposed structural geometries and cros...

A rapid increase in the wireless internet-based applications led to an enormous data rates. Intensification of future networks faces a great challenge meet such growing demand for payload data. suggested solution that can be used resolve this issue is overlay small cell with macro provide higher network capacity and better coverage. Small experience large interference from base stations (BSs) m...

The polyhedral complex [Cu(4)L(H(2)O)(4)]solv (NOTT-140) shows a 4,8-connected structure of rare scu topology comprising octahedral and cuboctahedral cages; desolvated NOTT-140a shows a total CO(2) uptake of 314.6 cm(3) (STP) cm(-3) at 20 bar, 293 K, and a total H(2) uptake of 6.0 wt% at 20 bar, 77 K.

BACKGROUND: There are over 17 000 nursing homes in the United States. Within these, special care units (SCUs) provide a separate residential and/or activity locus for residents, and are expected to provide more staff time and more specialized staff assignments. This paper addresses a fundamental issue relating to the nature, quality and quantity of resident care inputs: what impacts of SCUs are...

In this paper, we present our system we developed at Santa Clara University to address the SSF task in TREC KBA 2014. We used the pattern matching method to extract slot values for interested entities from relevant passages. We improved the approach we used last year to enhance the performance. Our system consists of the following steps: processing filtered corpus, retrieving relevant passages,...
