Early diagnosis of CHD by fetal echocardiography based on maternal and fetal indications is important and lifesaving. The aim of study was to assess the referral aspects of pregnant women to pediatric cardiologist. Materials and Methods This was a retrospective cross-sectional study on 250 documents of refer...

Background & Aim: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), the highest grade glioma (grade IV), is the most malignant form of astrocytoma in adults. This study aimed at evaluating the relationship between demographic, clinical and medical factors with GBM outcome. Methods & Materials/Patients: Through a cross-sectional design, 58 patients with newly diagnosed GBM were studied from 1999 to 2015 in Guil...

Since software deals with man-made artifacts, we need to view software development as an experimental science and build models of the artifacts and the processes by which they are manufactured. To do this we need to isolate and categorize the components of the discipline, define notations for representing these components, and specify the interrelationships among these components as they are ma...

User experience is becoming a key term in the world of interactive product design. The term itself lacks proper theoretical definition and is used in many different, even contradictory, ways. This paper reviews various existing approaches to understanding user experience and describes three main approaches and their differences. A missing perspective is noted in all three: their focus is on onl...

Experience Management (EM) is an area that is increasingly gaining importance. Its roots lie in Experimental Software Engineering ("Experience Factory"), in Artificial Intelligence ("Case-Based Reasoning"), and in Knowledge Management. EM is comprised of the dimensions methodology, technical realization, organization, and management. It includes technologies, methods, and tools for identifying,...

This paper discusses the potential of brain-computer interfaces (BCI) in the interaction between users and objects in points of interest in a city. We present an initial design of the user experience with BCI, aimed to include users with disabilities but also to enhance the experience of the general public. This design includes a physical space to be conditioned specifically for BCI so users ca...

Much work remains to be done with subjective evaluations of speech-based and multimodal systems. In particular, user experience is still hard to evaluate. SUXES is an evaluation method for collecting subjective metrics with user experiments. It captures both user expectations and user experiences, making it possible to analyze the state of the application and its interaction methods, and compar...
