Ambulatory health care needs within the United States are served by a wide range of hosp~als, clinics, and private practices. The Emergency Depa rtment (ED) functions as an important point of supply for ambulatory healthcare services. Growth in our aging populations as well as changes stemming from broader healthcare reform are expected to continue trend in congestion and increasing demand for ...

Diabetes mellitus is a common metabolic disorder. Among various complications, diabetic neuropathy and peripheral vascular disorders are closely associated with diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). Lower extremity ulcers and amputations are ongoing problems among individuals with diabetes. There are several classification systems for DFUs; however, no prognostic system has to date been accepted as the ...

The purpose of this paper is to consider some applications of Bayesian decision theory to intelligent tutoring systems. In particular, it will be indicated how the problem of adapting the appropriate amount of instruction to the changing nature of student's capabilities during the learning process can be situated within the general framework of Bayesian decision theory. Two basic elements of th...

I t is an in t r igu ing poss ib i l i ty that the universe is cur ren t ly in a metas tab le phase, a false v a c u u m which will eventual ly decay into a phase of lower energy densi ty. In the semic lass ica l app rox ima t ion , such decays occur through the fo rmat ion and growth of b u b b l e s of the new phase inside the old phase [1]. The fo rmat ion of the bubb les is a q u a n t u m ...

This note continues the application of the theory of strategic contingencies to the information services department by descri...

The scope of the Cu(I)-catalyzed [2 + 3] azide/alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC, click chemistry) as a key reaction for the conjugation of ferrocene derivatives to N-terminal functionalized PNA oligomers is explored herein (PNA: peptide nucleic acid). The facile solid-phase synthesis of N-terminal azide or alkyne-functionalized PNA oligomer precursors and their cycloaddition with azidoferrocene, eth...
