PURPOSE OF STUDY Avoidable Days/Delays (ADs) account for a large portion of dollars lost for many health care organizations, and with ongoing changes in health care reimbursement, available funds will become increasingly limited. Avoidable Days cannot be reduced or eliminated without accurate causal documentation. The purpose of this study was to determine whether a system upgrade with a change...

there is no doubt that augmented feedback has an important role in improvinglearning. however, it is the content of the feedback which is challenging. the aimof the present study was to examine the effect of feedback on successful versusunsuccessful trials on simple and complex tracking tasks. for this purpose, 48undergraduate right-handed male and female students of hakim sabzevari teachertrai...

In recent years, soft computing methods, like fuzzy logic and neural networks have been  presented and developed for the purpose of mobile robot trajectory tracking. In this paper we will present a fuzzy approach to the problem of mobile robot path tracking for the CEDRA rescue robot with a complicated kinematical model. After designing the fuzzy tracking controller, the membership functions an...

Abstract Tracking leads to differential developmental environments resulting in educational inequalities. We investigated whether tracking and school composition affect students’ transition post-compulsory education. Based on data of two Swiss school-leavers’ cohorts (2000/2016), multilevel analyses show that the social achievement-related track affiliation predict transitions beyond individual...

Singapore students boast stellar performance at international benchmarking studies such as PISA and TIMSS. One of the major contributors to the consistently good performance in mathematics and science is the quality of our science teacher education in Singapore. Through a consistent, systematic and continuous system, there is a seamless transition of pre-service teacher education to continuing ...

In over 4 decades of experience with computer-supported learning (CSL), applications have progressed from rote training with primitive computer work stations, to today’s web-based applications for support of online learning communities (OLCs). It is assumed here that the growing focus of CSL applications on OLCs to support collaborative group learning has an inexorable momentum that parallels t...

In different areas of applications such as education, entertainment, medical surgery, or space shuttle launching, distributed visual tracking systems are of increasing importance. In this paper we describe the design, implementation and evaluation of a distributed omni-directional visual tracking system, developed at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, with the Adaptive Middleware A...
