Background: Children with blunt abdominal trauma (BAT) can be risk stratified for intra-abdominal injury (IAI) through a combination of readily accessible clinical variables. The aim of this study was to identify ultrasound and laboratory studies that accurately identify IAI while limiting unnecessary CT-scan among children without injury. Materials and Methods We conducted a prospective, obse...

The stage is set for studying cultural innuences on human-human, human-agent and agent-agent communications. So far much attention has been paid to create adaptive agents which have adaptive user interface or exible capability to communicate with another software agents. However little eeort has been made for examining cultural innuence in communications. I believe that as in the human-human co...

Intelligence at the level of the user interface is currently being supported through a number of prevalent strands, including adaptive user interfaces, model-based user interface development and interface agents. Moreover, the term intelligent user interface typically implies the notion of dynamically enhancing the interaction with a single implemented artefact to suit different usage patterns,...

Human-computer interaction requires a software user interface to facilitate the communication to the user. The user interface plays a significant role in the user acceptance of software systems design. In Webbased e-learning systems, the need for adaptive personalization is increased because it is of particular importance in Web-based data accessing, providing relevant information and e-lecture...

Application of fuzzy automaton in Intelligent Space gives a simple way for quick adaptive personalisation. The concept of ‘Intelligent Space’ was originally introduced in 1996 by the Hashimoto Laboratory at the University of Tokyo, as a mixed human-robot assisted environment, where the robots are controlled by the the distributed intelligent devices of the ‘Intelligent Space’ called Ubiquitous ...

There exists increasing demand for intelligent learning environments which are adaptive to learner’s preferences and tasks. This paper illustrates a study of the intelligent learning environment where the learner’s preferences are diagnosed using learner behavior patterns on user interfaces. In this research, a learning-style model by Felder & Silverman has been adopted as the most appropriate ...

Over the past years we are witnessing the growth of new and heterogeneous mobile devices and services with a wide range of capabilities. On the one hand, faster processors, larger memories and more accessible sensor capabilities allow the community to develop applications that take better advantages of the context information, taking into account the user preferences and several context situati...

Existing intelligent learning environments for programming represent a step towards comprehensive adaptive learning environments that support all activities in learning programming. In most of these systems, however, only the tutoring component is adaptive. The user interface usually looks the same for the novice and for the advanced learner, while the student's knowledge of the subject matter ...
