BACKGROUND Tracheal intubation via laryngoscopy is a fundamental skill, particularly for anaesthesiologists. However, teaching this skill is difficult since direct laryngoscopy allows only one individual to view the larynx during the procedure. The purpose of this study was to determine if video-assisted laryngoscopy improves the effectiveness of tracheal intubation training. METHODS In this ...

This experiment compared the effect of computerized visual feedback (computer assisted instruction) with traditional play interaction (personal instruction) in promoting vocal imitation in children with autism. Ten non-verbal children with autism participated in ten sessions. Each session was composed of four sections: a parent and a trainer interacted with the child on the computer or using pl...

Due to the increased popularity of e-learning, the phrase “blended learning” has recaptured people’s attention. The manner in which blended-learning classes can be designed to improve learning effectiveness has become an important issue. This study combines classroom learning (abbreviated as C) with computer-assisted programmed instruction (abbreviated as E) to implement C + E. Based on the pri...

introduction: the conventional method of teaching endodontics has some drawbacks. due to the small size of the oral cavity, students cannot closely observe the clinical procedure. use of new teaching modalities such as the intraoral camera may obviate this problem. this study assessed the effect of video-assisted clinical instruction in dentistry (vacid) on dental student’s knowledge and perfor...

This paper describes a compiler-assisted approach to providing multiple instruction rollback capability for general purpose processor registers. The objective is achieved by having the compiler remove all forms of N -instruction anti-dependencies. Pseudo register anti-dependencies are removed by loop protection, node splitting, and loop expansion techniques; machine register antidependencies ar...
