An inexpensive feature card retrieval system has been combined with the Systematised Nomenclature of Pathology (SNOP) to provide simple but efficient means of indexing and filing 2 in. x 2 in. transparencies within a department of pathology. Using this system 2400 transparencies and the associated index cards can be conveniently stored in one drawer of a standard filing cabinet.

Reading is a hobby to open the knowledge windows. Besides, it can provide the inspiration and spirit to face this life. By this way, concomitant with the technology development, many companies serve the e-book or book in soft file. The system of this book of course will be much easier. No worry to forget bringing the correlating illustrations and text through interactive annotation book. You ca...

This little book consists of a series of essays written in a clear and pleasant style by a man who has had a large practical experience, and has thought over and digested the problems which must arise in the mind of every thoughtful man in the daily practice of our profession. Certainly in medicine and its allied sciences we are at present liable to be overwhelmed with the wealth of detail cons...

We examine a corpus of physics tutorial dialogues between a computer tutor and students. Either graphs or illustrations were displayed during the dialogues. In this work, stepwise linear regression, augmented to remove unwanted terms, is used to build models that identify situations when each graphic may aid learning. Our experimental results show that grouping students by pretest score, then b...

This article proposes a unified class of generalized location-scale mixture multivariate elliptical distributions and studies integral stochastic orderings random vectors following such distributions. Given vector Z, independent X Y, the scale parameter this is mixed with function α(Z) its skew another β(Z). Sufficient (and necessary) conditions are established for stochastically comparing diff...

The present paper addresses the problem of estimation model parameters logistic exponential distribution based on progressive type-I hybrid censored sample. maximum likelihood estimates are obtained and computed numerically using Newton–Raphson algorithm. Further, Bayes derived under squared error, LINEX generalized entropy loss functions. Two types (independent bivariate) prior distributions c...

BACKGROUND Labels with special instructions regarding how a prescription medication should be taken or its possible side effects are often applied to pill bottles. The goal of this study was to determine whether the addition of illustrations to these labels affects patient comprehension. METHODS Study participants (N = 130) were enrolled by approaching patients at three family practice clinic...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to gain population norms for the COOP Charts in a large community sample, and to explore the construct validity, and whether the inclusion of the illustrations influences response rates. METHODS A postal survey was carried out using a questionnaire booklet, containing the COOP Charts and a number of other items concerned with lifestyles and illness, sent t...
