Evidence-Based Emergency Care: Diagnostic Testing and Clinical Decision Rules (Evidence-Based Medicine)
This useful handbook provides a concise compilation of the evidence supporting diagnostic testing and clinical decision rules in emergency care. Clinical decision rules are now widely recognised as best practice for the ordering of diagnostic tests in the emergency department. Aimed at all physicians working with emergency and acute patients, the book begins with an overview of how to evaluate a diagnostic test using an evidence-based approach, followed by an explanation of the clinical decision rules and the methods of assessing the strength and applicability of the clinical prediction rule. These introductory chapters are followed by sections covering the following clinical areas: * Traumatic Injuries * Cardiology * Infectious Disease * Surgical and Abdominal Complaints * Urology * Neurology * Ophthalmology, Hematology, Rheumatology * Pulmonology. For each test and clinical decision rule, the most current and best available studies in the literature are discussed and applied to emergency department and acute care patients in addressing the question at hand, followed by an overall recommendation on how to use the test or rule in the clinical context. Evidence-Based Emergency Care is an accessible and extremely useful reference for physicians at all levels to use in applying an evidence-based approach to ordering and interpreting tests in an acute care environment..

Playing by the Rules: A Philosophical Examination of Rule-Based Decision-Making in Law and in Life (Clarendon Law Series)
Rules are a central component of such diverse enterprises as law, morality, language, games, religion, etiquette, and family governance, but there is often confusion about what a rule is, and what rules do. Offering a comprehensive philosophical analysis of these questions, this book challenges much of the existing legal, jurisprudential, and philosophical literature, by seeing a significant role for rules, an equally significant role for their stricter operation, and making the case for rules as devices for the allocation of power among decision-makers..

Building Intelligent .NET Applications: Agents, Data Mining, Rule-Based Systems, and Speech Processing (Addison-Wesley Microsoft Technology Series)
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been around almost as long as computers have been. It is only relatively recently, however, that some basic AI techniques have been brought to bear on common software problems. This is not a book about AI theory. It is a book about utilizing some AI technologies to enhance the value of both new and existing applications. The four AI areas covered in this book are Speech Recognition, Intelligent Agents, Data Mining, and Rule-Based Systems. Through sample real-world applications, Sara Rea shows how to make the AI technologies both accessible and usable. Most books on AI are either dense, theoretical text books, or else general-interest trade books. This will be the first book to show working .NET developers how to incorporate AI into their daily work..

Uncertain Rule-Based Fuzzy Logic Systems: Introduction and New Directions
For courses in Neural Networks and Fuzzy Systems; Fuzzy Systems/Control; Fuzzy Logic. The first book of its kind, this text explains how all kinds of uncertainties can be handled within the framework of a common theory and set of design tools-fuzzy logic systems-by moving the original fuzzy logic to the next level-type-2 fuzzy logic. It presents a complete development of both type-1 and type-2 fuzzy logic systems, showing how the expanded and richer fuzzy logic contains the original fuzzy logic within it. The text demonstrates, beyond a reasonable doubt, that when uncertainties are present in a problem, much better performance is obtained by using a type-2 fuzzy logic system than by using a type-1 fuzzy logic system..
