BACKGROUND Access to and use of electronic information sources for clinical decision is the key to the attainment of health related sustainable goals. Therefore, this study was to assess Electronic Information Sources (EIS) access and use for healthcare service among hospitals of Western Oromia, Ethiopia, 2013. MATERIALS AND METHODS A descriptive study design with quantitative and qualitative...

PurposeTo gather some empirical, baseline information on the use/non-use of selected, subscribed electronic information services (EIS) among full time Year Three undergraduates at The St. Augustine Campus of the University of the West Indies, in Trinidad and Tobago and in the geographic area of the Caribbean. Design/methodology/approachThe study’s research design involved a mixed quantitative a...

OBJECTIVE Cancer cells exhibit altered local dielectric properties compared to normal cells. These properties are measurable as a difference in electrical conductance using electrical impedance scanning (EIS). EIS is at present not sufficiently accurate for clinical routine despite its technological advantages. To modify the technology and increase its accuracy, the factors that influence preci...

INTRODUCTION Endoscopic band ligation (EBL) is superior to endoscopic injection sclerotherapy (EIS) of oesophageal varices, however, EBL is associated with a higher rate of variceal recurrences. OBJECTIVE To examine whether the reduction of recurrent varices can be achieved by additional sclerotherapy of remnant little varices after ligation. METHODS Forty-eight patients with liver cirrhosi...

How are companies managed today and what part does state-of-the-art IT play? Executive information systems (EIS) should support top managers in managing their companies. But many executives complain that EIS bear little relevance to their management task (functional requirements) and fail even more to accommodate their working style (design requirements). This article focuses on the latter and ...

Silicon-based sensors incorporating biomolecules are advantageous for processing and possible biological recognition in a small, reliable and rugged manufactured device. In this study, we report on the functionalization of field-effect (bio-)chemical sensors with layer-by-layer (LbL) films containing single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) and polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers. A capacitive elec...

This paper examines the impact of the characterisation technique considered for the determination of the L i + solid state diffusion coefficient in uncycled as in cycled Nickel Manganese Cobalt oxide (NMC) electrodes. As major characterisation techniques, Cyclic Voltammetry (CV), Galvanostatic Intermittent Titration Technique (GITT) and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) were systemat...

Measured energy performance data are essential to national efforts to improve building efficiency, as evidenced in recent benchmarking mandates, and in a growing body of work that indicates the value of permanent monitoring and energy information feedback. This paper presents case studies of energy information systems (EIS) at four enterprises and university campuses, focusing on the attained e...

Recently, the enterprise application integration has been a crucial requirement for the progress of EIS. However, the integration of those heterogeneous or distributed information systems often encounters problems related to complex management and maintenance, as well as low compatibility. Nevertheless, to totally abandon the former system or to re-develop a new great EIS may result in costly i...

In the commentary to our paper [Electrochimica Acta 63 (2012) 55], Roling and Drüschler raised a very important issue regarding the measurements and comparison of the differential and integral capacitances retrieved using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). They clearly explained that EIS measures differential capacitance rather than integral capacitance. The present letter aims to co...
