Minimum information needed by prescribers.

Good prescribing: better systems and prescribers needed.

Health information technology knowledge and skills needed by HIT employers.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the health information technology (HIT) workforce knowledge and skills needed by HIT employers. METHODS Statewide face-to-face and online focus groups of identified HIT employer groups in Austin, Brownsville, College Station, Dallas, El Paso, Houston, Lubbock, San Antonio, and webinars for rural health and nursing informatics. RESULTS HIT employers reported needing an ...

Minimum number of throws needed for knot security.

OBJECTIVE The purpose of the study was to determine the optimal number of throws to ensure knot security. STUDY DESIGN Knots were tied with 3, 4, 5, or 6 square throws with 0-gauge coated polyester, polydioxanone, polypropylene, and polyglactin 910. The suture was soaked in 0.9% sodium chloride and subsequently transferred to a tensiometer and broken. RESULTS A total of 225 knots were tied....

Minimum spectral contrast needed for vowel identification by normal hearing and cochlear implant listeners.

The minimum spectral contrast needed for vowel identification by normal-hearing and cochlear implant listeners was determined in this study. In experiment 1, a spectral modification algorithm was used that manipulated the channel amplitudes extracted from a 6-channel continuous interleaved sampling (CIS) processor to have a 1-10 dB spectral contrast. The spectrally modified amplitudes of eight ...

Minimum Information Holograms

Advisor: Title: The goal of this thesis is to characterize the redundancy inherent in a holographic fringe pattern and develop novel ways to eliminate it. The thesis consists of three independent but related parts. A novel algorithm for computing compact holographic fringe patterns based on non-uniform sampling is presented. It is shown both analytically and via simulation that non-uniform samp...
