We examine the adoption of patient care IT systems by US short-term acute care hospitals and the resulting impact these systems have in the productivity of hospitals. Of particular interest is the extent to which forprofit and non-profit hospitals obtain different results from the adoption of IT systems. We find that the marginal effect of IT on for-profit hospital productivity is to reduce the...

In this paper,we establish fixed points theorems in Banach space using Mann Iteration for nonexpansive and asymtotically nonexpansive mappings . Iteration scheme is defined by (2.1) and (2.2). We extended the work of Mann.

Kendall Rank Correlation Let (X1, Y1), · · · , (Xn, Yn) be a bivariate random sample of size n. The Pearson correlation coefficient provides an optimal measure of the degree of association between the X’s and the Y ’s when the sample is drawn from a bivariate normal distribution. The Pearson correlation coefficient is reasonably robust for many other distributions as well. The Kendall correlati...

Pial arterioles on the surface of the mouse brain were observed in vivo under a chamber with a glass window. When placed under the window, calcium ionophore, acetylcholine, and previously acidified sodium nitrite each dilated the arterioles. If the cyclooxygenase inhibitors indomethacin or acetylsalicylic acid were first placed in the chamber, subsequent dilation of the arterioles by calcium io...
