recently, use of research, theory, evidence-based practice (ebp), and quality improvement (qi) has increased dramatically in the professional manuscripts and discourses of the health related literature. however, inadequate knowledge and inability to recognize the differences between these processes have led to uncertainty in some of these practices. elucidation of such processes is of paramount...

quantitative and model-based prediction of security in the architecture design stage facilitates early detection of design faults hence reducing modification costs in subsequent stages of software life cycle. however, an important question arises with respect to the accuracy of input parameters. in practice, security parameters can rarely be estimated accurately due to the lack of sufficient kn...

background and purpose: adequate evidence based medicine (ebm) knowledge and skills are required to provide up-to-date, high quality medical care to patients. unfortunately, achieving these skills and knowledge requires a prolonged learning process and constant exposure to ebm concepts. the adult learning theory holds the assumption that adults learn better in a problem based and collaborative ...

humans are equipped with some universal or language-specific abilities to recognize emotions. however, because of the different emotional contents in diverse languages and the relevant cultural differences, humans with different cultural backgrounds own different metapragmatical abilities to recognize and express emotions. a hypothesis concerning emotional effects about intonation and particle ...

Wireless Sensor Networks plays important role in our life so they need to be secured. In this paper we will first give introduction of basics of wireless sensor network and code dissemination technique. We will discuss the impact of reprogramming on WSN in parallel. we will introduce technique called Enhanced ECC to make WSN energy efficient.

STRESZCZENIE This paper is concerned with the apparent greatest weakness of the Mathematical Theory of Evidence (MTE) of Shafer [27], which has been strongly criticized by Wasserman [37] the relationship to frequencies. Weaknesses of various proposals of probabilistic interpretation of MTE belief functions are demonstrated. A new frequency-based interpretation is presented overcoming various dr...

We consider the possibility of using measurements of anomalous magnetic moments of elementary particles as a possible test of the Einstein Equivalence Principle (EEP). For the class non-metric theories of gravity described by the T Hǫµ formalism we find several novel mechanisms for breaking the EEP, and discuss the possibilities of setting new empirical constraints on such effects.
