Context and setting Although health care professionals frequently struggle with communicating technically challenging information to an increasingly videoand computer-savvy audience, video media remain under-utilised. There may be advantages to using simulation environments for videotaping. Several medical centres have developed programmes and facilities for simulation-based education, which fa...

the present study was designed to evaluate the quality of cpr procedures performed in tehran's rasool-e-akram hospital-- the first emergency medicine academic center in iran-using a videotaped real-life (actual) cpr technique, with the aim of pointing out the defects and shortcomings in this regard. the performance of the cpr team in the emergency resuscitation room of rasool-e-akram hospital w...

In recent months, the use of video cameras in nursing facilities has received an increasing level of attention. USA Today ran a front-page article on resident advocates’ efforts to place video cameras in residents’ rooms. In Maryland and Texas, legislation was introduced to establish the right of a resident or a family member to place a video camera in the resident’s room. In this journal’s Nov...

This paper proposes a novel method to deal with the tracking of feature points on occluding boundaries. It can distinguish the feature points on occluding boundaries from those inside the boundaries. It can detect the disappearance of a feature point caused by occlusion during the tracking. It can extract a newly appeared feature point suitable to tracking. For the purpose, we combined an adapt...

This article describes the process for reporting and investigating child sexual abuse cases. Reporting mandates are discussed, as well as several concerns and criticisms about how these are implemented. The article also discusses a number of key issues related to the investigation of claims. The authors recommend greater use of multidisciplinary investigative teams and the development of compre...

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS We thank Ron Williams for having the vision to undertake the CANDY project. We are also grateful to Frederick Brooks, Jr. of UNC Chapel Hill, whose suggestion of videotaping the trials led to several insights. The decomposition of the two-dimensional problem into its one-dimensional components is an idea borrowed from Marc Raibert [11]. Finally, we would like to thank our subje...

In addition to the vast amount of information given by a sketch, a plethora of other design information may be voiced during a software design meeting. We can capture the spoken and visual software design meeting information by videotaping the meeting and any white-boards used. By indexing these videos, we make it easy to retrieve the videotaped information without watching the entire video fro...

Pitcher plants (Sarracenia purpurea L.) attract insects to pitchers and then capture them in fluid-filled, pitfall traps, but how efficient are pitcher plants at capturing prey in their natural environment? We monitored insect activity by videotaping pitchers and analyzing videotapes for several variables including identity of each visitor and outcome of each visit (e.g., departure or capture)....
