BACKGROUND: Standardization of sign-out, the transfer of patient information and responsibility between inpatient providers at shift change, is a Joint Commission National Patient Safety Goal intended to improve communication and reduce risk of error. Computerized systems with free text data entry and limited structure allow clinicians to generate sign-out notes in a variety of ways. OBJECTIVES...

The percentage of time the sign is illuminated will have a large effect on overall power consumption. "YOUR Speed" driver feedback signs have become increasingly popular devices for slowing traffic and increasing workers' safety. Thanks to new technologies, these signs have become more effective and easier to deploy than ever before. For instance, improvements in sign designs that make it easie...

Background & Aims of the Study: A most part of children time is spent in a school environment. Important part of the basic mission of schools is promoting the health and safety. So assessing the existing conditions is an important factor in promotion and this study conducted to investigate the environmental health and safety status of Paveh city schools in Kermanshah province. M...

METHODS FOR HUMAN MOTION ANALYSIS FOR AMERICAN SIGN LANGUAGE RECOGNITION AND ASSISTIVE ENVIRONMENTS ZHONG ZHANG, Ph.D. The University of Texas at Arlington, 2015 Supervising Professor: Vassilis Athitsos The broad application domain of the work presented in this thesis is human motion analysis with a focus on hand detection for American Sign Language recognition and fall detection for assistive ...

We analyze safety problems of complex systems using the methods of mathematical statistics for testing the output variables of a code simulating the operation of the system under consideration when the input variables are uncertain. We have defined a black box model of the code and derived formulas to calculate the number of runs needed for a given confidence level to achieve a preassigned meas...

OBJECTIVE In this study, we aimed to quantify and compare performance of middle-aged and older drivers during a naturalistic distraction paradigm (visual search for roadside targets) and to predict older drivers performance given functioning in visual, motor, and cognitive domains. BACKGROUND Distracted driving can imperil healthy adults and may disproportionally affect the safety of older dr...

With the increasing popularity of digital navigation systems and smartphones, role road signs during driving is gradually diminishing. However, owing to inaccessibility technology certain portions population, e.g., elderly, risk failure communication networks, continue be an essential public tool ensure safety. Although some research has been conducted on sign-related topics, sign recognition i...

A controlled clinical trial was performed to investigate the safety and efficacy of the hyaluronate-based gel polymer Hyaloglide after microsurgical reconstruction of peripheral nerves of the hand. Thirty patients were randomized to receive either no postsurgical treatment (n = 16) or Hyaloglide (n = 14) and were clinically evaluated at various intervals for 1 year. The application of Hyaloglid...

This paper presents an analysis of biometric authentication for signature creation application. We extend the established protocol in order to verify the two properties: secrecy and safety. We have analysed the protocol using applied pi calculus and ProVerif. The verification of the secrecy property shows that the protocol holds the biometric data securely while the verification of the safety p...
