An automated "high-pressure" liquid-chromatographic assay for hemoglobin A1c is described. We use a 45-min incubation in acetate buffer (pH 5.5) to eliminate labile glycated hemoglobins. In this automated system conventional modules are used but it incorporates a solvent-switching valve to select either of two buffers, which differ in pH and NaCl concentration. The chromatographic column contai...

In this paper, we present SnipSuggest, a system that provides onthe-go, context-aware assistance in the SQL composition process. SnipSuggest aims to help the increasing population of non-expert database users, who need to perform complex analysis on their large-scale datasets, but have difficulty writing SQL queries. As a user types a query, SnipSuggest recommends possible additions to various ...

Modern computer-based hospital information systems are mostly distributed with several information subsystems connected together by communication services. A single subsystem may be developed or purchased ("make" or "buy"). Before the purchase of hard- and software it is necessary to check out whether the product fits the requirements concerning the functionality and especially the integration ...

We come back on a technique to build modular switch nodes. This approach allows for a more cost effective expansion of OPS nodes. We give two example designs, showing that the method is useful only for Broadcast & Select OPS nodes when taking price decrease in function of time into account.
