The following picture shows the test omission rate and predicted area as a function of the cumulative threshold, averaged over the replicate runs. The omission rate should be close to the predicted omission, because of the definition of the cumulative threshold. The next picture is the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve for the same data, again averaged over the replicate runs. Note ...

Are repeat offenders more culpable than first-time offenders? In the United States, the most important determinant of punishment for a crime, other than the seriousness of the crime itself, is the offender's criminal history. Despite the popularity of the view that repeat offenders deserve to be treated more harshly than first-time offenders, there is no satisfactory retributivist account of th...

While glutamate in the nucleus accumbens (NAS) contributes to the promotion of drug-seeking by drug-predictive cues, it also appears to play a role in the inhibition of drug-seeking following extinction procedures. Thus we measured extracellular fluctuations of NAS glutamate in response to discriminative stimuli that signaled either cocaine availability or cocaine omission. We trained rats to s...

Rationing of nursing care is a widespread and growing phenomenon whose causes are multifaceted consequences serious. Nursing rationing defined as withholding or failing to perform necessary tasks due insufficient time, staffing, and/or inadequate skills. also omission, delay, failure complete, which qualifies an error omission. Unfinished has many negative for patients, nurses, organizations. T...

What makes be omissions possible? An obvious candidate answer that has long been entertained is simply this: be is semantically empty, hence a good choice to omit under performance-related pressures (cf. Brown & Fraser 1963). This would make beomission expected in all child languages. What would this hypothesis lead us to expect about the infinitive form of be? In terms of semantic vacuity, non...

In this paper we introduce a novel way to speed up the discovery of counterexamples in bounded model checking, based on parallel runs over versions of a system in which features have been randomly disabled. As shown in previous work, adding constraints to a bounded model checking problem can reduce the size of the verification problem and dramatically decrease the time required to find countere...

OBJECTIVE The advent of technologic improvements in assessing the hearing of newborn infants has made possible the implementation of universal newborn hearing screening. Furthermore, selective screening based on high-risk criteria fails to detect half of all infants with congenital hearing loss. Although universal screening has been recommended by the National Institutes of Health and the Joint...
