Teleoncology in the Department of Defense: a tale of two systems.

چکیده
Two telemedicine networks were developed for the purpose of conducting multidisciplinary oncology ("teleoncology") conferences. The infrastructure of each system differed: one system was Internet-based; the other was delivered via Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) lines. The purpose of this study was to describe the infrastructure and cost, consultative process, technical aspects, and conference format of the two teleoncology programs. The two systems' technical aspects, participant satisfaction with the systems, and conference participation were compared qualitatively. Assessment of the technical aspects of the systems suggested that each had distinct advantages. Survey results indicated that provider satisfaction with the technical and logistical aspects of each type of teleoncology conference was high. The present study may prove helpful for individuals who are considering implementing their own teleoncology programs.

متن کاملThe Quasi-morphic Property of Group
A group is called morphic if for each normal endomorphism α in end(G),there exists β such that ker(α)= Gβ and Gα= ker(β). In this paper, we consider the case that there exist normal endomorphisms β and γ such that ker(α)= Gβ and Gα = ker(γ). We call G quasi-morphic, if this happens for any normal endomorphism α in end(G). We get the following results: G is quasi-morphic if and only if, for any ...
متن کاملWeapon scheduling in naval combat systems for maximization of defense capabilities
Air defense is a crucial area for all naval combat systems. In this study, we consider a warship equipped with an air-defense weapon that targets incoming threats using surface-to-air missiles. We define the weapon scheduling problem as the optimal scheduling of a set of surface-to-air missiles of a warship to a set of attacking air threats. The optimal scheduling of the weapon results in an in...
