People are spending an increasing amount of time handling everyday routine tasks in their daily lives. To help people work more efficiently, Carnegie Mellon University is currently developing the RADAR (Reflective Agent with Distributed Adaptive Reasoning) system, a software-based cognitive personal assistant. The task manager is an essential component of the RADAR system that manages high-leve...

This article examines the functional factors crucial for the successful conversion from film-based radiography to radiologic gray-scale display systems, including hardware architecture and software requirements, radiologic workstation operations, and a multilayered intelligent user interface. Radiologic workstation operations are logically decomposed into case preparation, case selection, case ...

Context-aware user interface plays an important role in many human-computer Interaction tasks of location based services. Although spatial models for context-aware systems have been studied extensively, how to locate specific spatial information for users is still not well resolved, which is important in the mobile environment where location based services users are impeded by device limitation...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate maternal serum C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations in pregnancies complicated by preterm prelabor rupture of membranes (PPROM) in relation to the presence of microbial invasion of the amniotic cavity (MIAC) and/or intra-amniotic inflammation (IAI). METHODS Two hundred and eighty-seven women with singleton pregnancies complicated by PPROM between 2014 and 2016 were in...

Queueing Modelling is proposed in the domain of Intelligent User Interfaces and, more generally, in the field of Human-Computer Interaction. It is argued that Queueing Modelling can facilitate assessment of the current state and prediction of the future behaviour of user-computer interaction. This assessment can be used as the basis for adaptations either at design-time or at run-time, and can ...

PURPOSE To determine week 52 efficacy and safety outcomes in eyes with macular edema after branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) treated with 2 mg intravitreal aflibercept injection (IAI) compared with grid laser. DESIGN VIBRANT was a double-masked, randomized, phase 3 trial. PARTICIPANTS Eyes randomized and treated in VIBRANT were followed to week 52. METHODS In the IAI group, eyes receiv...

OBJECTIVE The main aim of this study was to determine the relationship between the maternal white blood cell (WBC) count at the time of hospital admission in pregnancies complicated by preterm prelabor rupture of membranes (PPROM) and the presence of microbial invasion of the amniotic cavity (MIAC) and/or intra-amniotic inflammation (IAI). The second aim was to test WBC diagnostic indices with ...

The paper focuses on the instructional and interface design adopted in the Adaptive Educational Hypermedia System INSPIRE-INtelligent System for Personalized Instruction in a Remote Environment. INSPIRE dynamically generates lessons accommodating diversity in learners’ knowledge background, preferences and progress, and supports end-learner modifiability. The design of the interface supports th...
