Abstract

Workload recording as designed by the College of American Pathologists has proven to be an invaluable aid in the assessment of overall laboratory operation. The administrative information derived from the compilation of these workload statistics is utilized to provide effective and these workload statistics is utilized to provide effective and efficient laboratory management. A microcomputer-based system for the pathology department that permits the accumulation of daily raw workoad data is descirbed. A monthly cummulative summary report is subsequently produced, complete with computer-derived College of American Pathologists workload units.

Semantic category imprecision: a connectionist study of the boundaries of word meanings.

The view that word meanings have a discrete symbolic character has led to misleading impressions about their neurobiological basis. We hypothesize that this lexical semantic knowledge is imprecise, overlapping, and widely distributed throughout the human temporal lobes. The present study uses a computer modeling experiment to investigate this hypothesis. The objects in the study are "cups" and "bowls." Thirty connectionist networks were taught that wide containers without handles are "bowls" and that narrow containers with handles are "cups." The network was then asked to identify 14 different cylindrical containers of seven different widths, some with handles and others without. When compared to a study of human performance, the networks manifested the normal pattern of object naming and the normal pattern of individual variability.
