BACKGROUND We prospectively assessed patient satisfaction in a Greek Academic endoscopy facility. METHODS Consecutive outpatients filled a satisfaction questionnaire right after their endoscopy (D1), 3 days (D3) and 3 months (M3) later. Overall patient satisfaction was measured by their willingness to repeat endoscopy in our facility and to further recommend it. Participant satisfaction regar...

We present an extension to Experience-driven Predictive Control (EPC) that leverages a Gaussian belief propagation strategy to compute an uncertainty set bounding the evolution of the system state in the presence of time-varying state uncertainty. This uncertainty set is used to tighten the constraints in the predictive control formulation via a chance constrained approach, thereby providing a ...

This book is about representing knowledge in all its various forms. Yet, whatever phenomenon we aim to represent, be it natural, computational, or abstract, it is unlikely to be static. The natural world is always decaying or evolving. Thus, computational processes, by their nature, are dynamic, and most abstract notions, if they are to be useful, are likely to incorporate change. Consequently,...

The study of phase transitions in constraint satisfaction problems has attracted much attention recently. Most of the research so far attempts to locate the phase transition for constraint satisfaction problems in which single solution is required. Smith notes that the phase transition is only an interesting event if just one solution is required. Our study reveals that a phase transition also ...
