The American Board of Pathology (ABP) has recently approved a physician-scientist research pathway (PSRP) for pathologists in training. This new pathway was specifically created to increase the recruitment of new physician-scientists to our specialty. Other specialties, such as internal medicine, pediatrics, radiology/radiation oncology, and dermatology, have formally Board approved research tr...

Police investigation units represent a knowledge-intensive and time-critical environment. Knowledge sharing is a key process in investigations. In this paper, we present an empirical study of performance in police investigations. Police investigation units are defined as value shops, where primary detective work is performed. Knowledge sharing is found to have a significant influence on the pol...

We study the phase transition of the coalitional manipulation problem for generalized scoring rules. Previously it has been shown that, under some conditions on the distribution of votes, if the number of manipulators is o ( √ n), where n is the number of voters, then the probability that a random profile is manipulable by the coalition goes to zero as the number of voters goes to infinity, whe...

This report provides an overview of mentoring: the career enhancing and psychosocial functions, the stages of development in the mentoring relationship, and a selective review of the research literature. We argue that the traditional mentoring relationship is difficult to establish and maintain in a military environment for a number of reasons including the rank structure and job environment. T...

We present a new protocol for reliable data transfer in time-critical applications with zero tolerance for data loss in wireless sensor networks which uses less time and fewer messages in comparison to an established protocol PSFQ. Two key features of our protocol are out-of-sequence forwarding of packets with a priority order for sending different types of messages at nodes and delaying the re...

A major challenge of mobile information technology use in time-critical work settings is to balance the temporal impact on the work practice caused by the technology. This paper presents results from an investigation of the tension between information technology use and temporal aspects in the timecritical work of emergency response. This paper contributes to previous research on the inter-rela...
