Variable biospecimen collection, processing, and storage practices may introduce variability in biospecimen quality and analytical results. This risk can be minimized within a facility through the use of standardized procedures; however, analysis of biospecimens from different facilities may be confounded by differences in procedures and inferred biospecimen quality. Thus, a global approach to ...

Compared with hetastarch (HS), the low molecular weight analog pentastarch (PS) has been reported to be equally effective for granulocyte collection by centrifugal leukapheresis, to result in fewer adverse donor reactions (ADR), and to have a more rapid elimination profile. We prospectively compared the granulocyte collection efficiency (GCE), granulocyte yield, and ADR in 72 randomly paired gr...

This article focuses on the estimation of population proportion when the study variable is sensitive in nature. Two implicit randomized response techniques are proposed where the unrelated trait can be chosen subjectively. In addition to unbiased estimation of population proportion and variance, an empirical study is conducted to inspect the relative efficiency facet of the proposed techniques....

The paper presents the guidelines and the features of ARS, a project focused on the application of advanced methods and technologies for improving road accident data collection. In the first part of the paper, the most common types of accident reporting errors are described. Then the costs and benefits associated with some potential strategies to improve the data collection are compared. The AR...

Evidence-based screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment (SBIRT) programs focusing on drug and alcohol use have successfully been implemented in a variety of general medical settings. Such programs require adaptations to function effectively in a high-volume hospital emergency department (ED) setting. We describe implementation and training procedures used in the sixsite National...

purpose: compaison of excyclotorsion induced by horizontal transposition of vertical rectus muscles versus vertical transposition of horizontal rectus muscles in rabbit eyes. methods: in this exprimental study, group 1 underwent full tendon nasal transposition of the superior rectus and full tendon temporal transposition of the inferior rectus (10 adult rabbits); group 2 underwent superior tran...

To deal with many pedestrian data, automatic data collection is needed. This paper describes how to automate the microscopic pedestrian flow data collection from video files. The study is restricted only to pedestrians without considering vehicular pedestrian interaction. Pedestrian tracking system consists of three sub-systems, which calculates the image processing, object tracking and traffic...
