Introduction: According to the North Dakota Cancer Coalition (2011), one out of two men and one out of three women will develop cancer in their lifetimes. Research estimates at least 10% of cancer patients do not receive effective relief of their cancer pain identified by the World Health Organization (WHO) three-step ladder guidelines, and an upwards to 30% of patients receive poor pain control, especially in their last year of life (Raphael et al., 2010). For patients with refractory cancer…
In the case of the State of Washington’s EDIE database, information technology and systems support helped in managing the EDIE data. It organized, stored, assessed, analyzed, and interpreted patient data whenever they visited the Emergency room. The data in the EDIE database became information and then knowledge to physicians which supported them in making fast decisions on patients admitted to the emergency room. Thus, having a well-managed database puts an organization at a competitive…
Uber fights against the antitrust lawsuit Uber is one of the leading ride sharing companies in the United States of America, and the business values sixty two billion dollars. According to the company’s pricing algorithm, during normal conditions the company collects standard fares but during holidays or heavy traffic and bad weather the pricing increases. And this hike in the fare is called as surge pricing. Spencer Meyer a customer from Connecticut filed a case against the ride sharing…
Fig. 5 represents the behavior of the bee colony forages. The bee colony is initially completely unaware of the food sources. In the current stage, the bee plays the role of a scout or a recruit and randomly searches for a food source. As long as the food source is located, the bee is employed bee for memorizing the nectar amount and also the locations of food sources. After returning to the hive, the bee discharges some nectar and dances rhythmically to attract the onlooker bees [26]. A…
the instructor, the same way we should run a classroom. The lesson that stood out the most to me was a basic addition problem. We were given an equation and told to solve the problem any other way then using the standard algorithm because students are not taught the standard algorithm until they master the understanding of addition. The class came up with five or six different ways to solve the same problem. This caused our class to think “outside the box”. Children in class would be asked to…
Swarm behavior is one of the main characteristics of different colonies of social insects (bees, wasps, ants, termites). This type of behavior is first and foremost characterized by autonomy, distributed functioning and self-organizing. Swarm Intelligence, SI, is considered to be the area of Artificial Intelligence that is based on studying actions of individuals in various decentralized systems~\cite{bonabeau1999}. However, there is still today big discrepancy between two schools of thought in…
However, when the diagnoses gets more complicated and the symptoms are more vague we need a doctor who can creatively think about these situations, which is exactly what these algorithms discourage. Groopman discusses a technique trained doctors use called heuristics, this is a mental shortcut method used to know the diagnosis quicker. These shortcuts are no longer thought in medical school because it can lead to some major complications…
The advantage of the K-Mean clustering analysis the numbers of clusters are known before performing the test. The disadvantage of the hierarchical cluster there is one pass through the data. Thus, any error on data will lead to wrong results. The algorithm used during the hierarchical cluster analysis to determine an initial guess about the number of clusters. Moreover, the cluster Centroids accepted as the starting point for the K-means criterion validity and assessed by ANOVA significance test…
FOR PURSUING AUTONOMOUS DRONE TECHNOLOGY This section will discuss the necessity of innovation in the area of autonomous flying vehicles. Our software provides increased safety in the use of autonomous drones through advanced machine learning algorithms which allow our drones to reach their destination safely and accurately every time. Past attempts in this field have failed because of navigation problems and issues with obstacles which our software solves. Our software will achieve a high…
they prioritize the leads and invest their energy in those prospects that can be converted easily and quickly. Secondly, they nurture other leads to pushing them to the next level of the purchase funnel. Lead nurturing is done by the automated algorithms that intelligently filter and recommend content based on users’ actions in the…
