Good practice guidelines recommend that women who undergo mastectomy are offered reconstructive surgery. However, many who choose this option report a degree of decisional regret and dissatisfaction because their pre-surgical expectations were not met. This paper reports an acceptability study of a new intervention (PEGASUS) that aims to support shared decision-making by eliciting women's pre-s...

BACKGROUND Psychoeducation is an essential component of postdiagnostic care for people with ASD (autism spectrum disorder), but there is currently no evidence base for clinical practice. We designed, manualised and evaluated PEGASUS (psychoeducation group for autism spectrum understanding and support), a group psychoeducational programme aiming to enhance the self-awareness of young people with...

Scientific workflow managers are powerful tools for handling large computational tasks. Domain scientists find it difficult to create new workflows, so many tasks that could benefit from workflow automation are often avoided or done by hand. Two technologies have come together to bring the benefits of workflow to the masses. The Pegasus Workflow Management System can manage workflows comprised ...

The PEGASUS laboratory is a versatile radiation facility dedicated to the advancement of novel concepts in beam physics. The installation of a new LaB6 cathode will allow for both thermionic emission and photoinjection operation. The PEGASUS plane wave transformer injector has been conditioned to 20 MW of RF power. Recent operations show a 15 MeV dark current beam that will be used for beam rad...

A family of regula falsi methods for finding a root ξ of a nonlinear equation f(x)=0 in the interval [a,b] is studied in this paper. The Illinois, Pegasus, Anderson & Björk and more nine new proposed methods have been tested on a series of examples. The new methods, inspired on Pegasus procedure, are pedagogically important algorithms. The numerical results empirically show that some of new met...

The paper is concerned with a new distributed program design environment based on the global application states monitoring. The environment called PEGASUS (from Program Execution Governed by Asynchronous SUpervision of States) supplies to a programmer a ready to use control primitives to design distributed program execution control in which decisions for synchronous and asynchronous control act...

In the Pegasus prototype multidatabase system, the key to the problem of object identity is a differentiation between the view of a data administrator, capturing all the underlying discrepancies and their solutions, and the view of an end user or application, in which only a consistent result is visible. New language constructs with which the administrator can describe solutions to identity pro...
