Robot trials: an approach to simulation by object language
IEEE International Workshop on Intelligent Robots and Systems, Towards a New Frontier of Applications, 2002An autonomous mobile robot is designed to take decisions locally: its behavior is therefore not globally determinist but influenced locally as a function of the situation in which it finds itself. The testing of this type of behavior is therefore complex. Moreover, and in cases such as nuclear power plants where safety is all important, it is necessary

The Competing Objectives of Randomized Trials
New England Journal of Medicine, 1980The intervention trial of greatest benefit to patients satisfies three objectives: validity (its results are true), generalizability (its results are widely applicable), and efficiency (the trial i...

Objectivity and elites: A creation science trial
Critical Studies in Mass Communication, 1988The recent controversy over “scientific creationism” represents an intriguing case study of the interpenetration of the paradigm discourses of science, religion, politics, and law and public motive structures. Despite nearly unanimous judicical rejection, creationist claims for “balanced treatment” with evolution in the public schools have received an ...

Character Evidence and the Object of Trial
Columbia Law Review, 2001Evidence of an individual's character may not in general be offered to prove that she acted in conformity with that character on a particular occasion. Most analyses of this general rule?and its many exceptions?start from the premise that trial is at heart an exercise in finding facts.

Ancient Philosophy, 2022
I analyse Theaet. 200e-201c. I hold that this passage provides specific insights into: first, the nature of sensible things and events; second, the nature of knowledge. I show that the text should be taken as an analogy, which means that Plato does not consider eye-witnessing to be a case of knowledge. Finally, I consider the relation between the trial

Rationale, objectives, and interpretation of randomized controlled trials
Journal of Clinical Apheresis, 1997A randomized controlled trial (RCT) is the most definitive tool for evaluation of the effectiveness of an intervention and can establish a cause-and-effect relationship between an intervention and an improved disease outcome. However, the undertaking of an RCT does not guarantee valid results, and the findings of RCTs of the same intervention are often

III. Trial of modifications to Eurospin MRI test objects
Magnetic Resonance Imaging, 1993The original design of the Eurospin test objects (Magn. Reson. Imaging 6:195-199; 1988) for the assessment of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) image quality, was subjected to re-evaluation at several meetings during the subsequent years, culminating in some changes to the designs.

The Objectives of a Randomised Controlled Trial
1983A trial may be conceived to test more than one hypothesis but it is good practice to determine one or a limited set of major objectives. For example, an investigator may be interested in a trial of a new antihypertensive drug in elderly patients. The major objective could be either to demonstrate the efficacy of the drug in lowering blood pressure or ...

Multiplicity Issues in Clinical Trials With Multiple Objectives
Statistics in Biopharmaceutical Research, 2013Modern clinical trials for evaluating efficacy and safety of new treatments frequently include multiple objectives with questions of varying clinical importance. Answering them generally requires performing a number of statistical tests and analyses which raise multiplicity of tests issues.

One-Trial Object Recognition by Rats
The Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology Section B, 1985Four experiments examined the ability of rats to solve problems analogous to those used with primates, where they were required to remember an object seen on a single trial. In the first experiment, rats were rewarded for selecting the novel of two goal boxes in a Y-maze (nonmatching).
