Real-time human action classification using a dynamic neural model.

The multiple timescale recurrent neural network (MTRNN) model is a useful tool for recording and regenerating a continuous signal for dynamic tasks. However, our research shows that the MTRNN model is difficult to use for the classification of multiple types of motion when observing a human action. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a new supervised MTRNN model for handling the issue of action classification. Instead of setting the initial states, we define a group of slow context nodes as "classification nodes." The supervised MTRNN model provides both prediction and classification outputs simultaneously during testing. Our experiment results show that the supervised MTRNN model inherits the basic function of an MTRNN and can be used to generate action signals. In addition, the results show that the robustness of the supervised MTRNN model is better than that of the MTRNN model when generating both action sequences and action classification tasks.

Ten commonly asked computer questions ... and answers. Part 1.

I hope that you have learned something from this article that will help you get through your next computer crisis. Remember that most computer problems are not your fault and they are not the end of the world. It stinks when your car breaks down, and it stinks when your PC crashes, but you will get through it. If your PC does crash, write down what you were doing when it crashed, any changes that were made, any software that was installed, and take a deep breath. You will be able to help get the problem solved quicker if you stay relaxed. Part 2 of this article, to be published in a future issue of Dentistry Today, will answer the next 5 commonly asked computer questions.

Systems used to automate medical libraries--analysis by type of library.

Analysis of data recorded in 626 questionnaires on systems used to automate medical libraries by type of library showed that academic and industrial libraries automated all serial and book functions to a greater degree that the other types of medical libraries (hospital, governmental, institutional and medical centre). Almost 75% of the academic libraries had automated some or all serial functions; 80% had automated some or all book functions. Half of the hospital, institutional and medical centre libraries (50-51%) performed all serial functions manually; 29-40% performed all book functions manually. No software was used consistently by all types of libraries to process serials or books. Mainframe or minicomputers were used more by academic libraries to process serials and books than personal computers.

Implantaciòn del sistema de informaciòn en el Instituto de Maternidad Natalio Aramayo / Information service at the maternity Institute \"Natalio Armayo\"

El Instituto de Maternidad Natalio Aramayo, centro de referencia en obstetricia de la ciudad de La Paz, ha implantado un sistema de informaciòn computarizado desde 1990. Esta comunicaciòn comparte con el lector el proceso de implantaciòn de este sistema: Este proceso surge como consecuencia de la identificaciòn previa de los problemas institucionales, entre cuyas alternativas de soluciòn se encontraba el sistema de infromaciòn, cuya implantaciòn persiguio: 1) Optimo llenado de la historia perinatal bàsica simplificada. 2) Establecer un flujo/ruta del documento. 3) Archivo de la historia clìnica. 4) Procesamiento oportuno de la informaciòn. La evaluaciòn del proceso verifica y discute el cumplimiento de los objetivos, proporciona informaciòn sobre los problemas encontrados y sus soluciones. Brinda ademàs un informe del estado actual del sistema de informaciòn, asi como los resultados de una evaluaciòn efectuada por alumnos del internado rotatorio. Finalmente se concluye que el sistema implantado proporciona informaciòn sobre la poblaciòn atendida la patologìa prevalente y otras, que facilitan la toma de decisiones y permite la evaluaciòn de las actividades. Constituye un instrumento valioso que sumando a otros, podria lograr la transformaciòn de la instituciòn en la que fue implantado.

Compatible information systems a key to merger success.

Information systems compatibility can directly affect the benefits an organization receives from a merger or acquisition. At the macro level, the degree of compatibility determines whether consolidating systems is feasible and cost effective. At the micro level, information systems compatibility is closely tied to every benefit a merger or acquisition brings. Potential merger partners can assess whether their systems will mesh with an information systems compatibility index.
