Increasingly, critical incident reports are used as a means to increase patient safety and quality of care. The entire potential of these sources of experiential knowledge remains often unconsidered since retrieval and analysis is difficult and time-...
Multilevel linguistic features have been proposed for discourse analysis, but there have been few applications of multilevel linguistic features to readability models and also few validations of such models. Most traditional readability formulae are ...
The objective of this study is to build a fuzzy linguistic prediction model (FLPM) for analyzing the actuation duration of acute hyperglycemia to sinoatrial node field potential. The field potential was recorded using microelectrode arrays (MEA). The...
