Workforce retention in rural and remote Australia: determining the factors that influence length of practice

Abstract: Objectives: To ascertain which factors are most significant in a general practitioner’s decision to stay in rural practice and whether these retention factors vary in importance according to the geographical location of the practice and GP characteristics. Design: National questionnaire survey. The method of paired comparisons was used to describe the relative importance of the retention items.

OCELOT: a system for summarizing Web pages

Abstract: We introduce OCELOT, a prototype system for automatically generating the “gist” of a web page by summarizing it. Although most text summarization research to date has focused on the task of news articles, web pages are quite different in both structure and content. Instead of coherent text with a well-defined discourse structure, they are more often likely to be a chaotic jumble of phrases, links, graphics and formatting commands. Such text provides little foothold for extractive summarization techniques, which attempt to generate a summary of a document by excerpting a contiguous, coherent span of text from it. This paper builds upon recent work in non-extractive summarization, producing the gist of a web page by “translating” it into a more concise representation rather than attempting to extract a text span verbatim. OCELOT uses probabilistic models to guide it in selecting and ordering words into a gist. This paper describes a technique for learning these models automatically from a collection of human-summarized web pages.

Impaction status of third molars in Jordanian students

Abstract: The status of third molars was studied radiographically in 108 male and 124 female Jordanian students (mean age, 20.4 years). The results showed that 9.1% of third molars were congenitally missing. Approximately 73% of the subjects had all four third molars, 12% had three third molars and 11% had two third molars. Only 1.7% had agenesis of all third molars. Third molar agenesis showed predilection for the maxilla over the mandible. There was no significant sexual dimorphism in the agenesis of third molars. Impaction of third molars was found in one third of the subjects with predilection (5.2%) to the maxilla. The proportion of impaction in males was 17.4% and in females 16.2%. Angular position of mandibular third molars revealed that half of the teeth were mesially tilted (average angle 20 degrees ±13 [SD] and 41% were in vertical position. A highly significant correlation (r=0.79, p
