Intensive care medicine remains one of the most cost-driving areas within hospitals with high personnel costs. Under the scope of limited budgets and reimbursement, realistic needs are essential to justify personnel staffing. Unfortunately, all existing staffing models are top-down calculations with a high variability in results. We present a workload-oriented model, integrating quality of care...

PID control systems have been widely employed in industrial processes. Recently, some data-oriented PID control systems have been proposed because it is difficult to adjust a set of suitable PID gains. In this paper, one of data-oriented PID control schemes, which is designed by using the generalized output errors, is proposed. The generalized output is defined from a PID control law. Moreover,...

This paper presents a high level dynamic task allocation algorithm that is inspired by the biological development process and the immune system. For a microprocessor (μP) array, a program is partitioned into a number of workload oriented tasks with data dependencies and a few internal status-oriented tasks. Each μP in the array is capable of processing one of these tasks. The algorithm assigns ...

This study examined the role of output-first presentation of vocabulary tasks in noticing lexical items and enhancing vocabulary knowledge of EFL learners. The participants were 103 elementary level female Iranian EFL learners who were randomly divided into three groups: input-only, inputoutput, and output-input groups. After all participants took a placement test and a vocabulary pretest, the ...

We present the design and implementation of a task-oriented system, that dynamically binds user tasks to available devices and services within a ubiquitous environment. The system provides users with a task-based interface for interacting with the environment. This interface is re-oriented around user tasks, rather than particular functions of individual devices or services. The system has two ...

The article examines the content and structure of competence-oriented tasks (COT), which are used in process training future geography teachers higher education institutions (HEI); an own definition term COT is proposed its conceptual basis characterized.
 leading features geographical disciplines COT, their structural components, particular motivation, providing question with form, explai...

The preservation and rational use of the grown harvest, obtaining maximum product output from raw materials today is one most important state tasks. Automation production processes main area in which currently advancing around world. Everything that was previously performed by person himself, his functions, not only physical but also intellectual, are gradually transferred to automation systems...

Evidence-based healthcare integrates the best research evidence with clinical expertise in order to make decisions based on practices available. In this context, task of collecting all relevant information, a recall oriented task, take right decision within reasonable time frame has become an important issue. paper, we investigate problem building effective Consumer Health Search (CHS) systems ...
