When our kids were little, I read them a story about a duck who chattered incessantly. One of our rugrats blurted out, "Boy, Chatter Duck sure chatters a lot - just like you, Daddy."

Brain Injury Is Treatable, Susan C. Davies, Jennifer P. Lundine, Shari L. Wade, Ann E. Glang

Counselor Education and Human Services Faculty Publications

Children with traumatic brain injury (TBI) are under-identified and under-served by healthcare and educational professionals. Factors such as lack of understanding regarding long-term needs following TBI, limited awareness and training in emerging evidence-based practices and inefficient care coordination (Haarbauer-Krupa et al., 2017) impede effective clinical management. Despite these considerable challenges, childhood brain injury is treatable. Families, schools, and healthcare systems are integral to that treatment. Where a child lives and learns can also greatly influence long-term outcomes. Children from home environments with supportive caregivers have more positive outcomes (Wade et al., 2016). Closer proximity to medical care and providers who …

(This piece originally ran in the University of Dayton Quarterly in the summer of 2000 following the launch of the Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop.)

(She probably had Paul what's-his-name Newman in it)," wrote Bill Bombeck in a funny, touching thank-you note after the Erma Bombeck Conference on Popular American Humor at the University of Dayton. "The success was beyond my wildest dreams."

The downtime of industrial machines, engines, or heavy equipment can lead to a direct loss of revenue. Accurate prediction of such failures using sensor data can prevent or reduce the downtime. With the availability of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, it is possible to acquire the sensor data in real-time. Machine Learning and Deep Learning (DL) algorithms can then be used to predict the part and equipment failures, given enough historical data. DL algorithms have shown significant advances in problems where progress has eluded the practitioners and researchers for several decades. This paper reviews the DL algorithms used for predictive …
