This work focuses on the invariance of important properties between continuous and discrete models of systems which can be useful in the control design of large-scale systems and their software implementations. In particular, this paper discusses the relationships between the QSR dissipativity of a continuous state dynamical system and of its abstractions obtained through approximate input-outp...

Qualitative spatial reasoning (QSR) abstracts metrical details of the physical world. The two main directions in QSR are topological reasoning about regions and reasoning about orientations of point configurations. Orientations can refer to a global reference system, e.g. cardinal directions or instead only to relative orientation, e.g. egocentric views. Reasoning about relative orientations po...

While some evidence suggests that patient race can be used by physicians to predict disease risk and determine drug therapy, other studies document bias and stereotyping by physicians based on patient race. It is critical, then, to explore physicians' attitudes regarding the medical relevance of patient race. M...

BACKGROUND The Electronic Prescription Service Release 2 (EPS2) in England has been designed to provide electronic transmission of digitally-signed prescriptions between primary care providers, with the intent on removing the large amounts of paper currently exchanged.
