We provide an overview of the Kaiser Permanente Community Health Initiative--created in 2003 to promote obesity-prevention policy and environmental change in communities served by Kaiser Permanente-and describe the design for evaluating the initiative. The Initiative focuses on 3 ethnically diverse northern California communities that range in size from 37,000 to 52,000 residents. The evaluatio...

Integrated Care (INIC) organized a study visit for a group of 75 Europeans to Kaiser Permanente (KP) in San Francisco, USA. Kaiser Permanente is a care organization that encloses a health insurance company (''Kaiser''), primary health care doctors and medical specialists (''Permanente''), and hospitals (''Kaiser Hospital Trust''). These three divisions work closely together and are exclusive pa...

wice a year the Kaiser Permanente National Primary Care Conference (PCC) brings together expert clinician-presenters from all over the Kaiser Permanente Regions. The Women’s conference format five years ago and has continued to grow in participation and popularity. Besides offering the latest evidencebased medical information, the conference is always held in a relaxing atmosphere and allows qu...

In this paper, nonrecursive digital filter design using the exponential window is investigated [1,2]. The exponential window proposed by the author [3] has computational cost advantage compared to the well-known Kaiser window due to having no power series expansion in its time domain representation. First, the filter design equations for the exponential window to meet the given low pass filter ...

Three coefficients of factor similarity were examined with regard to their behaviour within four sets of data. Two simple methods using Pearson r correlations and Tucker Congruence coefficients were compared with a more complex method given by Kaiser. Hunka and Bianchini (1971). Three of the data sets involved the use of 100 random data matrices, the fourth was that provided by the Eysencks’ wo...

The paper is based upon the performance of various w indows in designing FIR Filter. The cosine hyperbolic w indow has been used to design a better FIR Filter in terms of ripple ratio, side-lobe roll off ratio and main-lobe w idth w ith its advantages of no power series expansion in frequency domain hence need less hardware. The spectral characteristic of cosh window is compared with other wind...
