BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES ICU is the hospital sectors that have interrupt assistance. Assistance with quality is a challenge for those who run human resources. It is also important to know the risk of the patient to the better use of resources. The aim of this study is to identify most used severity indexes in intensive care and classify them according with their finality METHODS Library rese...

Scientometrics cannot offer a simple consistent method for measuring the scientific eminence of individuals. The h-index method introduced by Hirsch was found applicable for evaluating publications of senior scientists with similar publishing features, only. Some simple methods – using the number of citations and journal papers, and the number of citations obtained by the most frequently cited ...

Reasoning often occurs under emotionally charged, opinion-laden circumstances. The belief-bias effect indexes the extent to which reasoning is based upon beliefs rather than logical structure. We hypothesized that emotional content will increase this effect, particularly for individuals with higher emotional reactivity. The serotonin transporter genotype is associated with emotional reactivity ...

We propose query optimization techniques that fully utilize the advantages ojpath indexes in object-oriented database systems. Although path indexes provide an eficient access to complex objects, little research has been done on query optimization that fully utilize path indexes. We first devise a generalized index intersection technique, adapted to the structure of the path index extended from...

Traditional content based image retrieval attempts to retrieve images using syntactic features for a query image. Annotated image banks and Google allow the use of text to retrieve images. In this paper, we studied the task of using the content of an image to retrieve information in general. We describe the significance of object identification in an information retrieval paradigm that uses ima...

already proposed a construction method for personalized video digests based on generated indexes [7][5]. This paper presents a novel video indexing method for providing timely personalized video delivery services. Several previous research reports have dealt with automatic content-bused indexing. However, these systems require a lot of time to manually correct the indexes after preliminary auto...
