Intrapartum electronic fetal monitoring (EFM) is one of the most common procedures in obstetrics. Current consensus statements provide clinicians with a common language for EFM as well as provide a basis for a simplified approach to interpretation and management. This article presents a summary of the content and implementation of a statewide initiative in interdisciplinary EFM education and tr...

Catchment and riparian degradation has resulted in declining ecosystem health of streams worldwide. With restoration a priority in many regions, there is an increasing interest in the scale at which land use influences stream ecosystem health. Our goal was to use a substantial data set collected as part of a monitoring program (the Southeast Queensland, Australia, Ecological Health Monitoring P...

The famous binary backoff algorithm in IEEE 802.11 MAC layer can forget the contention level between each successfully transmitted data frame and hence suffers significant performance degradation when the contention level is high. In IEEE 802.11 standard, a distributed contention control (DCC) algorithm is proposed to address this problem by observing how many of slots in the last backoff perio...

The Northern Region Landbird Monitoring Program (NRLMP) has been in place for nearly a decade and is designed to allow us to track population trends of numerous landbird species, while at the same time allowing us to investigate the effects of various kinds of land use activity on the occurrence, abundance, or demographics of numerous landbird species. We conduct pointcount bird surveys biennia...

A half century after continuous electronic fetal monitoring (EFM) became the omnipresent standard of care for the vast majority of labors in the developed countries, and the cornerstone for cerebral palsy litigation, EFM advocates still do not have any scientific evidence justifying EFM use in most labors or courtrooms. Yet, these EFM proponents continue rationalizing the procedure with a rheto...

Quadratic geometric programming as introduced by Hough and Goforth is an extension of posynomial geometric programming. By using the theory of generalized geometric programming, Jefferson and Scott defined its exact geometric dual. The fundamental relationship between the geometric dual and the original problem is that they assume a common value at their respective optima. This result formally ...

Zusammenfassung Hintergrund: Angstund depressive Störungen gehören zu den häufigsten Störungen des Kindesund Jugendalters und beeinträchtigen die kindliche Entwicklung erheblich. Zur Prävention von Angststörungen und depressiven Erkrankungen haben sich kognitiv-verhaltenstherapeutische Programme als wirksam erwiesen, wobei die Kinder in unterschiedlichem Ausmaß profitieren.

Im ersten Teil demonstrieren wir die Erstellung eines sog. AssignmentGraders, der in der Lage ist, interne Programmschnittstellen eines maschinell zu bewertenden Java-Programms zu beobachten. Beispielhaft nutzen wir den Autobewerter Graja in Verbindung mit mockito Test Doubles. Wir zeigen, wie man Leistungsaspekte einer studentischen Lösung einzeln und gezielt automatisiert bewertet. Bei einer ...
