Medical emergencies involving children are rare events. The experience of emergency physicians is therefore low and the results are correspondingly poor. Assistance services to help in emergencies are regularly requested. The use case is thus very complicated, a complex system consisting of multiple devices is necessary to provide the most efficient and effective service. This short paper presents prototypically tested ideas on how such a ubiquitous approach can be designed and how communication between devices can be simplified and ensured.

Introduction: There is increasing public demand for dentists and their professional regulators to mitigate medical risk to patients in private dental clinics – especially those that offer procedural sedation. Recent high-profile adverse events reported in the media suggest an urgent need to address this issue. However, there is a paucity of knowledge in the literature regarding how best to do so. We aim to explore opportunities for multidisciplinary emergency medical training of dentists, and to offer an informed perspective to assist with the preliminary development of a structured educational program. Methods: We employ Gioia Methodology, an established standard for inductive qualitative research and thematic analysis. Interviewees were recruited via email and selected to ensure a broad and knowledgeable perspective. We conducted individual semi-structured 1-hour interviews of 6 dentists, 4 medical anesthesiologists, 3 emergency physicians, and 1 oral and maxillofacial surgeon. Several interviewees had leadership roles in Canadian dental regulatory agencies and educational institutions. Data from these interviews was contemporaneously analyzed and organized into “first-order concepts”, “second-order themes” and “aggregate dimensions.” Results: Our findings demonstrated 12 first-order concepts. Dentists require "leadership from professional regulators", and "accreditation by recognized training institutions" to "ensure competence in initial emergency medical care of patients". "Customized training programs" led by "multidisciplinary instructors" – including emergency physicians – should ensure "pre-operative medical risk assessment", "appropriate intra-operative patient monitoring", and "the ability to recognize common medical emergencies". Emergency medical skills training should focus upon "teamwork within the office", "early activation of EMS", “ABC skills", and the administration of "emergency medications". Conclusion: Dentists require a very broad skillset to safely manage patients in their practice, especially when procedural sedation is required. Our aggregate dimensions provide an overview of our recommendations: we suggest that dentists must work with their regulators and educators to "build upon an existing culture of patient safety" by fostering "competence in the prevention, recognition and initial management of medical emergencies" in the dental practice setting.

Nowadays, intelligent diagnosis for the complex system has been a forefront of issue. The application of the artificial-intelligent technology has made the dream of using men’s knowledge to diagnose the complex system, and improves it up to a new grade. Traditional diagnosis is up to technical engineer experience to estimate equipment’s status, and make a judgment; this way has many limitations and little efficiency, with the increase of complexness of the equipment, there have to get some more effective methods. In 1980s, some experts have researched on the diagnosis system using intelligent technology. With the development of computer and network technology, intelligent technology has better support platform. Experts have researched on different branches of diagnosis technology and used these ideas into diagnosis system (Wu J.P. & Xiao J.G., 1997). As the developing of Internet, all equipments have been cyber and connected to network. More and more system is consists of multiple devices and have the characteristic of the distribution. In this case, remote diagnosis system gets more attentions because of its unmatched benefits. In the remote diagnosis system, the technology of multiple agent or called multi-agent often be used to resolve difficult diagnosis problems. Intelligent diagnosis is the develop trend that could perform intelligent maintenance in a high level of efficiency. Researching on intelligent diagnosis and applying it have significant meaning. Definition and development of diagnosis is introduced in this chapter firstly, which including different branch and fussing with other area. The advantage and shortage of different technology also be introduced. Then the remote diagnosis on network is discussed. The theory and development of Multi-agent based remote diagnosis technology is also presented. The trend and scene is been bring on finally.

Modern information systems have to support a variety of different device types like desktop computers, smartphones, or tablets. Furthermore, it is important to enable users to use device types that fit their needs or are suited for the tasks at hand, e.g., allowing them to use multiple devices in parallel or sequentially by switching from one device to another. Such cross-device interactions must be taken into account already during requirements analysis to ensure that they are properly addressed in later phases of development. Unfortunately, current requirements modeling techniques do not provide adequate techniques to model cross-device systems. In this paper, we present an extended form of use case diagrams able to model such systems. Using our approach it is possible to specify which device types can be used when performing a certain use case and what kinds of cross-device interactions are supported. Based on this, we show how this information can be refined by integrating extended use case diagrams with our existing approach to model cross-device interactions in process diagrams. Thereby, we explain how requirements can be modeled visually in a model-based development process for cross-device systems.

Ship intermediate-level support system is complex system. The modeling and simulation of the system are difficult. To solve this problem, we apply both UML and HLA for modeling and simulation of ship intermediate-level support system. First, UML is used to model the use case model and interaction model. On the basis of the models above, HLA is used to model object models. Finally, according to the simulation models above, simulation software is developed and simulation case is analyzed, which shows the simulation models can be used to evaluate and optimize ship intermediate-level support system by simulation.

Cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) is a complex system of intracellular tubules that, due to their small size and juxtaposition to such electron-dense structures as mitochondria and myofibrils, are often inconspicuous in conventionally prepared electron microscopic material. This study reports a method with which the SR is selectively “stained” which facilitates visualizationwith the transmission electron microscope.

The unusual title of this short paper and its accompanying tutorial is deliberate, because the intent is to investigate the effectiveness of low temperature microscopy and analysis as one of the more significant elements of the less interventionist procedures we can use to prepare, examine and analyse hydrated and organic materials in high energy beam instruments. The promises offered by all these procedures are well rehearsed and the litany of petitions and responses may be enunciated in the following mantra.Vitrified water can form the perfect embedding medium for bio-organic samples.Frozen samples provide an important, but not exclusive, milieu for the in situ sub-cellular analysis of the dissolved ions and electrolytes whose activities are central to living processes.The rapid conversion of liquids to solids provides a means of arresting dynamic processes and permits resolution of the time resolved interactions between water and suspended and dissolved materials.The low temperature environment necessary for cryomicroscopy and analysis, diminish, but alas do not prevent, the deleterious side effects of ionizing radiation.Sample contamination is virtually eliminated.
