TL;DR: The principles of accuracy (relationship between experimental and true value), precision, precision, and reliability in the quantitation of phytochemicals in natural products are discussed.

TL;DR: Analysis of patients with four distinct chronic conditions revealed the dimensions of courtesy, respect, and engagement to be inherent in communication priorities across conditions, thereby illustrating the way in which relevant variables such as legitimacy, the availability of conventional treatments, and lifestyle implications shape the meaning of health care communication.

01 Jan 2008TL;DR: This work proposes a mean time-to-compromise interval as an estimate of the time it will take for an attacker with a specific skill level to successfully impact a target system and proposes a state-space model (SSM) and algorithms for estimating attack paths and state times.
Abstract: Mean time-to-compromise is a comparative security metric that applies lessons learned from physical security. To address this need in the SCADA world specifically and the corporate IT security world more generally, we propose a mean time-to-compromise (MTTC) interval as an estimate of the time it will take for an attacker with a specific skill level to successfully impact a target system. We also propose a state-space model (SSM) and algorithms for estimating attack paths and state times to calculate these MTTC intervals for a given target system. Although we use SCADA as an example, we believe our approach should work in any IT environment.

TL;DR: The research results indicate that task functionality is overly compromised for orthosis configurations with less than five degrees of freedom, plus prehension.
Abstract: Describes research work directed towards the development and application of a design methodology to determine the optimal configuration of a powered upper-limb orthosis. The design objective was to minimize the orthosis complexity, defined as the number of degrees of freedom, while maintaining the ability to perform specific tasks. This objective was achieved in three stages. First, potential users of a powered orthosis were interviewed to determine their priority tasks. Secondly, the natural arm motions of able-bodied individuals performing the priority tasks were profiled using a video tracking system. Finally, a kinematic simulation algorithm was developed and employed in order to evaluate whether a proposed orthosis configuration could perform the priority tasks. The research results indicate that task functionality is overly compromised for orthosis configurations with less than five degrees of freedom, plus prehension. Acceptable task performance, based on the specific priority tasks considered, was achieved in the simulations of two different orthosis configurations with five degrees of freedom. In the first design option, elevation (rotation about a horizontal axis through the shoulder) and radial/ulnar deviation are fixed, while in the second option wrist flexion and radial/ulnar deviation are fixed. A prototype orthosis is currently being developed using the first design option. >
