Effective knowledge management (KM) increases the outcomes of organisations. Medicine and health care are knowledge-intensive disciplines and the knowledge and knowing of the professionals are the most important organizational resources. However, in health care the term knowledge management has been fairly unfamiliar and research of health care KM has been rare (e.g. Sibbald, Wathen & Kothari 2...

A decision tree is a classification (and regression) model that, based on the characteristics of a given object, and applying a series of rules, is able to classify it (or return a continuous value in the case of regression). The induction of decision trees from a set of previously classified objects is one of the most popular machine learning models due, among other things, to the low computat...

We propose an ILP system FOIL-I, which induces logic programs by a top-down method from incomplete samples. An incomplete sample is constituted by some of positive examples and negative examples on a nite domain. FOIL-I has an evaluation function to estimate candidate de nitions, the function which is composition of an information-based function and an encoding complexity measure. FOILI uses a ...

A theorem proving system embodying a systematic search procedure is de sen bed. Al though the search spaces are usually infinite, and not even locally finite, the asymmetric way in which thev are generated results in a speed that is es 11ma-ted to be one to two orders of magnitude faster than the theorem provers of Quinlan and Hunt, and Chang and the problem-solver of Kikes, to whi c h this sys...

Evaporative water losses (EWL) in arthropods have traditionally been measured by gravimetric methods (Loveridge, 1980), although electronic sensing of water has recently been employed (Hadley, Stuart & Quinlan, 1982; Hadley & Quinlan, 1982). Difficulties are encountered in separating the cuticular and respiratory components of total transpiration. Cuticular water loss has frequently been measur...

Natural resource-based projects represent an important sector in Canada’s economy, where the energy, mining, and forestry industries accounted for 17% of gross domestic product 2018 (Natural Resources Canada, 2019). Many are located on or near Indigenous lands, disproportionately impacting peoples (Gibson et al., 2017). The negative environmental impacts well documented (Koutouki 2018; Westman ...

The lifeprolongingpower of medical technology and traditional ethics which require the maintenance of ltfe have generated growing political demandfor new law to regulate the use of ltfesaving equipment and techniques, and to establish the rights of individuals to determine the course of their own treatment. This research maps the politics of the right-to-die through an analysis of state legisla...

Biggest internet security threat is the rise of Botnets having modular and flexible structures. The combined power of thousands of remotely controlled computers increases the speed and severity of attacks. In this paper, we provide a comparative analysis of machine-learning based classification of botnet command & control(C&C) traffic for proactive detection of Peer-toPeer (P2P) botnets. We com...
