Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a recognized brain disorder most commonly associated with hypertension, toxemia of pregnancy, or the use of immunosuppressive agents. Its clinical features include headache, decreased alertness, confusion, diminished spontaneity of speech, seizures, vomiting, and abnormalities of visual perception like cortical blindness. Magnetic resonance...

As users, computers, data and processes become increasingly mobile and the diversity of interacting devices increases, pervasive computing tasks are difficult to predict and to understand due to the spontaneity of interactions and the complexity and the fluidity of the surrounding contexts. This paper presents a context oriented-programming approach to pervasive computation. The resulting progr...

The best description of supervision I have encountered was given to me in the late 1980’s by Don Fergus, a psychotherapist. He said: “The function of supervision is to provide and create an environment that permits and provokes the emergence of the supervisee’s spontaneity and creativity that will support them past their impasse so that they can re-enter the client system and do what they have ...

Time will undoubtedly provide clearer information from those in this county who have themselves become experienced enough in this technique to lay their investigations before a wider circle. The Theatre...

Mechanical properties of the DEKA Arm and associated engineering innovations are easy to observe. What is less clear is how these advances translate into functional benefits for the user with amputation. Study aims were to (1) quantify outcomes including dexterity, performance of daily activities, and prosthetic skill and spontaneity of users of the DEKA Arm and (2) compare outcomes when using ...
