Interpreting Near-side Correlations and the RHIC Beam Energy Scan

Recent data from heavy ion collisions at RHIC show strong near-side correlations extending over several units of rapidity. This ridge-like correlation exhibits an abrupt onset with collision centrality. In this talk, I argue that the centrality and beam-energy dependence of these near-angle correlations could provide access to information about the Quark Gluon Plasma phase boundary and the Equa...

CT scan in severe diffuse head injury: physiological and clinical correlations.

CT scan findings, clinical features and intracranial pressure were studied in patients with severe diffuse head injury. Compression of the 3rd ventricle and basal cisterns closely correlated with an intracranial pressure greater than 20 mmHg, with clinical signs of midbrain dysfunctions and worse prognosis. These CT scan findings can indicate whether intracranial pressure monitoring is appropri...

Single-scan 2D NMR correlations by multiple coherence transfers.

A new scheme for the acquisition of heteronuclear 2D correlations in NMR spectroscopy within a single scan, is proposed and demonstrated. The principles of this new scheme resemble those of Mansfield's "k-space walk" proposal, in the sense that they rely on repetitively transferring spin coherences back-and-forth between the two spin systems to be correlated. It is shown that if properly execut...

Scan Conversion of Clinical Electrocardiograms

The goal of this research is to develop a simple and inexpensive method for rapid digitization of hard copy ECG records, conversion to a "raw" voltage-time format, transmit them over computer networks to a centralized reading location for re-analysis and over-reading. Free Receiver Operator Characteristic methodology was used to prove a null hypothesis that scan converted hard-copy 12-lead ECGs...
