Objective: To describe the duty/triage system within one urban area mental health service in Australia and to investigate the factors that affect the decision to organize a comprehensive assessment. Method: Data was collected from 3 months of duty/triage
We argue that existing approaches to the construction of content-based Product Recommender Systems (Filter-Based Retrieval and Similarity-Based Retrieval) use inadequately expressive query languages. We introduce a new approach, which we call Order-Based
The aim of this study was to make a characterization of the communication in a group with fragile X syndrome (FXS), based on normal development scale. The sample has 10 boys, between 6 and 13 years and with FXS. All of them were submitted to language eval
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the quality of clinical trials on asthma published in Spanish journals in comparison with those published in European or North American English-language journals. METHOD: Clinical trials were identified by searching MEDLINE and the

We propose a representation of spatio-temporal objects with continuous and cyclic or acyclic periodic movements. We also describe an extended relational algebra query language for databases with such objects. We show that the new spatio-temporal databases

XML is the lingua franca for data exchange between interenterprise applications. In this work, we describe SilkRoute, a framework for publishing relational data in XML. In SilkRoute, relational data is published in three steps: the relational tables are p
We describe the design of a rule-based language for expressing changes to Haskell programs in a systematic and reliable way. The update language essentially offers update commands for all constructs of the object language (a subset of Haskell). The update
In this paper, we present a new framework for the definition of various data structures (including trees and arrays) together with a generic language of filters enabling a rule-based programming style for functions. This framework is implemented in an exp
