Differential Contribution of Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials for Diagnosis of Superior Semicircular Canal Dehiscence Syndrome

“…Pathological findings have been defined in accordance to a double criteria: a) Own standard control tables acquired from people with no pathology and, also, as an additional control system, as seen in published tables [21,22], and b) Furthermore the AR. Fiducial limits have been defined as mean ± 2.5 standard error of the mean (SEM) for our data and mean ± 2.5 standard error for published data.…”

Distributed Consolidation: Identity, Reputation, and the Prospects for Online Social Interaction

“…As Bob Blakley has noted, not everyone uses even simple rating information in the same way; this effect is heightened when reputation is as complex and interpretable as it is on Facebook. 185 Because a person can have multiple reputations (as a good student, a reliable friend, etc. ), and reputation depends on the perspective of the interpreter, this leads to a better, though more costly, judgment than the simple number ratings in place on sites like eBay.…”

“…You can't own this by definition; as soon as you own it, it's no longer my story about you; it instantly becomes an autobiography instead of a reputation." 30 As such, reputation is attached to identity, but just as offline, one can have multiple identities with multiple reputations. A party boy's family may think he is a perfect trustworthy angel from Connecticut, while his acquaintances may know him as a dishonest devil from NYC.…”

“…Bob Blakley submits the need for an "identity oracle" that requesters can query for identity and meta-identity information, but this idea, while useful in enterprise contexts, is too centralized to be effective across the varying contexts that feed information about users. 204 ** These tags could include things like "good warrior," "honest trader," and "trustworthy source. "…”

“…The distributed oracle does not exist in any one "place;" instead, it floats between the contexts, acting as a mediator for identity requests. Thus, it consolidates this information without centralizing it.In contrast, Blakley's identity oracle takes the form of a single firm that stores and distributes identity information to requesters 205. This centralized reputation structure is potentially useful for building trust between a company and an individual, because the company will get risk-assessment information to decide whether or not to enter into the transaction and has the legal system as a credible punishment, which encourages the individual to cooperate.…”
