The primary data used in ground-based, global path planning for NASA’s Planetary Rovers are stereo images down-linked from the rover and range data derived from those images. The range data are often incomplete: the sensors are inherently noisy and sections of the landscape are blocked. This missing data complicates the path planning process and necessitates the help of human experts. We presen...

The Simultaneous Proxy Evaluation (SPE) architecture provides one way to measure the performance of proxy caches. It includes the novel ability to compare prefetching proxy cache performance, but poses a number of implementation challenges. In this report we describe our prototype implementation of SPE, the Rutgers Online Proxy Evaluator (ROPE). We discuss a number of issues raised during devel...

BACKGROUND The B-B Score is a straightforward kinematic shoulder function score including only two movements (hand to the Back + lift hand as to change a Bulb) that demonstrated sound measurement properties for patients for various shoulder pathologies. However, the B-B Score results using a smartphone or a reference system have not yet been compared. Provided that the measurement properties ar...

The number and variety of educational mathematics mobile applications (EMMAs) make it difficult to select for learning teaching. Therefore, in this study, multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) techniques, which are effectively used a wide disciplines, were applied choose among alternative according specified criteria. In context, was aimed determine the 13 considered EMMAs that work on Android-...

OBJECTIVES This study was designed to test a 360-degree assessment tool for four of the emergency medicine resident competencies as outlined by the Council of Residency Directors in Emergency Medicine on patient care, communication skills, professionalism and system based practice in an academic Emergency Department. MATERIAL AND METHODS Using the competency framework of the American Accredit...

Increased utilization of evaluation results has been the primary rationale for the development of participatory or stakeholder approaches. The assumption is that participation by various constituents in the evaluation process will increase their understanding of and commitment to the use of evaluation results. Another rationale for implementing a participatory evaluation approach is empowerment...

We introduce delegatable functional signatures (DFS) which support the delegation of signingcapabilities to another party, called the evaluator, with respect to a functionality F . In a DFS,the signer of a message can choose an evaluator, specify how the evaluator can modify thesignature without voiding its validity, allow additional input and decide how the evaluator canfurther...
