Context: Root cause analysis (RCA) is a useful practice for software project retrospectives, and is typically carried out in synchronous collocated face-to-face meetings. Conducting RCA with distributed teams is challenging, as face-to-face meetings are infeasible. Lack of adequate real-time tool support exacerbates this problem. Furthermore, there are no empirical studies on using RCA in synch...

Objective: The morbidity and mortality conference (M&MC) is a traditional forum that provides clinicians with an opportunity to discuss medical error and adverse events. In an effort to promote patient safety at our institution, we implemented a monthly interdisciplinary morbidity, mortality, and improvement (MM&I) conference, which focused on systemwide problems. The participants included phys...

We study the construction and the convergence of the Ishikawa iterative process with errors for nonexpansive mappings in uniformly convex Banach spaces. Some recent corresponding results are generalized. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification. 47H10, 40A05.

We introduce a new class of nonlinear mappings, the class of generalized strongly successively Φhemicontractive mappings in the intermediate sense and prove the convergence of Mann type iterative scheme with errors to their fixed points. This class of nonlinear mappings is more general than those defined by several authors. In particular, the class of generalized strongly successively Φhemicont...

In this paper we establish the strong convergence and almost stability of the Ishikawa iteration methods with errors for the iterative approximations of either fixed points of local strongly pseudocontractive operators or solutions of nonlinear operator equations with local strongly accretive type in real uniformly smooth Banach spaces. Our convergence results extend some known results in the l...

Adv Physiol Educ 33: 91–97, 2009; doi:10.1152/advan.90120.2008.—Current engineering applications in the medical arena are extremely progressive. However, it is rather difficult for medical doctors and engineers to discuss issues because they ...

In this paper, we define and study convergence of an Ishikawa type iteration scheme with a new and weaker control condition for two nonself asymptotically quasi-nonexpansive mappings on a uniformly convex Banach space.
