This paper presents a HCI teaching experience in a Software Engineering specialization course. In this course, the disciplines are connected directly or indirectly through a common project in which the practical activities should be conducted in a constructive way. The HCI discipline, with 24 hours, aims to train students for understanding users and their needs, and for prototyping solutions. S...

A surface charge compensation electron flood gun has been added to the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) highly charged ion (HCI) emission microscope. HCI surface interaction results in a significant charge residue being left on the surface of insulators and semiconductors. This residual charge causes undesirable aberrations in the microscope images and a reduction of the time-of-fl...

Post-embedding immunocytochemical techniques were used to assess distribution of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the guinea pig cristae ampullaris. GABA-like immunoreactivity (GABA-LIR) was found in the cytoplasm of both type I (HCI) and type II hair cells (HCII), in the afferent calyx (AC) contacting HCI and some myelinated fibers in the subjacent stroma. HCI and its calyceal contacts showed...

IMPORTANCE Hospitals' care intensity varies widely across the United States. Payers and policy makers have become focused on promoting quality, low-cost, efficient health care. OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether increased hospital care intensity (HCI) is associated with improved outcomes following major surgery. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Using national Medicare data in this retrospective...
