Proposal for characters for Khowar, Torwali, and Burushaski

This is a proposal to add characters in the Arabic script to the international character encoding standard Unicode needed to represent the Khowar, Torwali, and Burushaski languages. The characters were published in Unicode Standard version 5.1 in March 2008. The languages using these characters are located in northern Pakistan

Proposal for Arabic Mathematical Alphabetic Symbols

This is a proposal to encode a set of characters used to write Arabic mathematical notation in the international character encoding standard Unicode. This set of characters was published in Unicode Standard version 6.1 in January 2012

Review of Human Coronaviruses and Other Respiratory Viruses and their Neurological Impact on the Central Nervous System

Comprehensive reporting shows that some pathogens, including COVID-19, influenza A and SARS-CoV have sometimes caused pandemics and were linked to more serious diseases and death. A number of respiratory viruses can travel from the respiratory tract to the central nervous system, causing alterations and damage and resulting in long-term neurological diseases.

Efficiency and converse reduction-consistency in collective choice

We consider the problem of selecting a subset of a feasible set over which each agent has a strict preference. We propose an invariance property, converse reduction-consistency, which is the converse of reduction-consistency introduced by Yeh (2006), and study its implications. Our results are two characterizations of the Pareto rule: (1) it is the only rule satisfying efficiency and converse reduction-consistency and (2) it is the only rule satisfying one-agent efficiency, converse reduction-consistency, and reduction-consistency.consistency converse consistency efficiency Pareto rule social choice correspondences.

On the Upper Bound of Eigenvalues for Elliptic Equations with Higher Orders

AbstractLet Ω be a bounded domain in Rm with piecewise smooth boundary. We consider the upper bound of the (n+1)th eigenvalue λn+1 for the two problems [formula] and [formula] where l and r are positive integers with l>r, v is the unit outward normal to ∂Ω, and P(t)=al−rtl+al−r−1tl−1+ . . . +a1tr+1 with the constant coefficients al−r=1, ai≥0 for i=1, 2,..., l−r−1. The bounds of λn+1 are expressed in terms of the preceding eigenvalues. This generalizes the inequalities obtained by Payne, Polya, Weinberger, Protter, Hile, and Yeh

Development of an Objective Structured Clinical Examination as a Component of Assessment for Initial Board Certification in Anesthesiology.

With its first administration of an Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) in 2018, the American Board of Anesthesiology (ABA) became the first US medical specialty certifying board to incorporate this type of assessment into its high-stakes certification examination system. The fundamental rationale for the ABA's introduction of the OSCE is to include an assessment that allows candidates for board certification to demonstrate what they actually "do" in domains relevant to clinical practice. Inherent in this rationale is that the OSCE will capture competencies not well assessed in the current written and oral examinations-competencies that will allow the ABA to judge whether a candidate meets the standards expected for board certification more properly. This special article describes the ABA's journey from initial conceptualization through first administration of the OSCE, including the format of the OSCE, the process for scenario development, the standardized patient program that supports OSCE administration, examiner training, scoring, and future assessment of reliability, validity, and impact of the OSCE. This information will be beneficial to both those involved in the initial certification process, such as residency graduate candidates and program directors, and others contemplating the use of high-stakes summative OSCE assessments

Development Of Interaction Test Data Generation Strategy With Input-Output Mapping Supports

Uniform strength t-way testing (where t represents interaction strength) forms the basis of interaction testing. However, t is rarely uniform in real world as not all interaction faults are solely constituted by these fixed t-interactions. Consequently, a general solution has been introduced: input-output based relationship interaction testing. Although useful, most existing strategy implementations are lacking in terms of the automated input-output mapping support (to translate the symbolic outputs back into actual data form) and test suite generation flexibility. In order to address these aforementioned issues, a non-deterministic input-output based relationship interaction testing strategy, AURA, has been developed. AURA strategy also integrated with post-processing automated input-output mapping support and flexible iteration control capability to support test suite generation flexibility. Experimental results indicated that AURA strategy is generating competitive test suite size against existing strategies (Density, ParaOrder, Union, TVG, PICT, AETG, ACA, GA-N, IPO-N, IPO, Jenny, SA and ACS). Specifically, this strategy is capable to generate the test suite size as optimized as other strategies for certain inputs. Lastly, the post-processing automated input-output mapping support and flexible iteration control capability are evaluated with experiments
