Standards for Scalable Clinical Decision Support: Need, Current and Emerging Standards, Gaps, and Proposal for Progress

Despite their potential to significantly improve health care, advanced clinical decision support (CDS) capabilities are not widely available in the clinical setting. An important reason for this limited availability of CDS capabilities is the application-specific and institution-specific nature of most current CDS implementations. Thus, a critical need for enabling CDS capabilities on a much la...

Swimming Across the Pacific: A Virtual Swimming Interface Proposal for SIGGRAPH 2004 Emerging Technology

As a locomotion interface for virtual reality, swimming afloat in water, is an unfamiliar and intriguing paradigm. We propose to bring our virtual swimming apparatus to SIGGRAPH 2004 Emerging Technology. In our exhibit, we will showcase the swimming apparatus and the virtual ocean environment. The swimming participant will be suspended in the apparatus, an 8ft cubic frame mounted with pulleys a...

Molecular phylogenetic diversity of the emerging mucoralean fungus Apophysomyces: proposal of three new species.

BACKGROUND Apophysomyces is a monotypic genus belonging to the order Mucorales. The species Apophysomyces elegans has been reported to cause severe infections in immunocompromised and immunocompetent people. In a previous study of Alvarez et al.(3) [J Clin Microbiol 2009;47:1650-6], we demonstrated a high variability among the 5.8S rRNA gene sequences of clinical strains of A. elegans. MATERI...

Swimming Across the Pacific: A Virtual Swimming Interface Proposal for SIGGRAPH 2002 Emerging Technology

As a locomotion interface for virtual reality, swimming afloat in water, is an unfamiliar and intriguing paradigm. We propose to bring our newly developed virtual swimming apparatus to SIGGRAPH 2002 Emerging Technology. In our exhibit, we will showcase the swimming apparatus and the virtual ocean environment. The swimming participant will be suspended in the apparatus, an 8ft cubic frame mounte...
