since late 1960s, pharmacists in the usa and england have started a professional movement towards a more efficient presence in clinical wards of hospitals. a similar movement has started in developed european countries during the past decade. pharmacists are convinced of the need for them to play their role as drug consultants and pharmacotherapy advisers to make decisions on drug therapy probl...

background and purpose: clinical knowledge management (ckm) is considered as a dominant approach for information management and expansion of knowledge in clinical settings. health care executives have recently begun to focus on ckm. therefore, identification of challenges against proper ckm planning is of paramount importance. the aim of this study was to explore challenges in clinical knowledg...

In this work, we develop a method of adaptive nonparametric estimation, based on "warped" kernels. The aim is to estimate a real-valued function s from a sample of random couples (X,Y ). We deal with transformed data (Φ(X), Y ), with Φ a one-to-one function, to build a collection of kernel estimators. The data-driven bandwidth selection is done with a method inspired by Goldenshluger and Lepski...

We present a motion-based frequency-domain technique for modelling and recognising human periodic movements in moving light displays (MLDs). Periodic motions are modelled by motion templates composed of a set of feature power vectors. Feature power vectors are extracted from unidentified trajectories of feature points using motion power spectral analysis. Motion recognition therefore is carried...

This lecture is meant for students in the fourth or fifth year of their mathematics studies and Ph.D. students in their first two years, with basic knowledge of statistical estimation theory. We hope to give those students a glimpse of a very interesting research direction. Of course, we cannot discuss this research direction in great detail, but hope that the examples covered will motivate the...

In this paper, we have studied the estimation of parameters under failure censored data using step stress partially accelerated life testing. The lifetimes of test items are assumed to follow Mukherjee-Islam distribution. The estimation of different parameters and acceleration factor are obtained by Maximum Likelihood Method. Relative absolute bias (RAB), mean squared error (MSE), relative erro...

this paper proposes a new method for parameter estimation of distorted single phase signals, through an improved demodulation-based phase tracking incorporated with a frequency adaptation mechanism. the simulation results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method compared to the conventional sogi (second-order generalized integrator)-based approach, in spite of the dc-offset and harmon...

Biological age (BA) estimation from radiologic data is an important topic in clinical medicine, e.g. in determining endocrinological diseases or planning paediatric orthopaedic surgeries, while in legal medicine it is employed to approximate chronological age. In this work, we propose the use of deep convolutional neural networks (DCNN) for automatic BA estimation from hand MRI volumes, inspire...
