Several comments are made regarding the recent papers by F. Ayati on road accidents in Iran.

BACKGROUND Research has shown that narrative feedback, (self) reflections and a plan to undertake and evaluate improvements are key factors for effective feedback on clinical performance. We investigated the quantity of narrative comments comprising feedback (by trainers), self-reflections (by trainees) and action plans (by trainer and trainee) entered on a mini-CEX form that was modified for u...

This paper is dedicated to the experimental analysis of discrete-time differentiators implemented in closed-loop control systems. To this end, an electro-pneumatic system has been employed as case study implement 25 different including exact and linear filters. The validity several theoretical results, which have already reported literature based on analytical numerical simulations, investigate...

This article shows how sentiment analysis (an artificial intelligence procedure that classifies opinions expressed within the text) can be used to design real-time satisfaction surveys. To improve participation, real-time surveys must be radically short. The shortest possible survey is a comment card. Patients' comments can be found online at sites organized for rating clinical care, within e-m...

DESIGN As part of a larger mixed-methods study to determine the relationship between organizational culture and family satisfaction in critical care, family members of eligible patients in intensive care units ...

Ghose and Desai [1] introduced a new interconnection for large-scale distributed memory multiprocessors called the Hierarchical Cubic Network (HCN). The HCN is topologically superior to a comparable hypercube. They also proposed optimal routing algorithms for the HCN and obtained its diameter, which is about three-fourths the diameter of a comparable hypercube. However, their routing algorithm ...

The authorship of Myzomorphus is attributed to Sallé (1850) and, consequently, its type species is Myzomorphus scutellatus Sallé, 1850. The year of publication of the work by Sallé is changed from 1849 to 1850. Comments on the syntypes of M. scutellatus are provided.

The paper describes two new records of the lichen genus Buellia (B. badia and B. nashii) from South Korea. A detailed taxonomic description and comments are presented for both taxa. An updated key representing all Buellia species known from South Korea is also provided.
