OBJECTIVE To test whether an intervention to improve primary care depression management significantly improves productivity at work and absenteeism over 2 years. SETTING AND SUBJECTS Twelve community primary care practices recruiting depressed primary care patients identified in a previsit screening. RESEARCH DESIGN Practices were stratified by depression treatment patterns before randomiza...

. \ In an earlier paper, it was suqqested that peakinq capacitors such as are used in nuclear electromaqnetic pulse simulators be used to supply the fast current rise times which have been indicated in recent researches in the field of liqhtninq spherics and liqhtninq strikes to aircraft. A more quantitative experimental and analytical study has been undertaken to examine the feasilibiiity and ...

CONTEXT Little is known about the cost associated with a health center's rating as a patient-centered medical home (PCMH). OBJECTIVE To determine whether PCMH rating is associated with operating cost among health centers funded by the US Health Resources and Services Administration. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Cross-sectional study of PCMH rating and operating cost in 2009. PCMH ratin...

We consider the problem of finding known asteroids in a given region of space and time. Each asteroid’s trajectory is known precisely at any given point in time, but evaluation of the model describing its location is prohibitively expensive at query time. We propose a framework for sampling the base model and indexing the resulting “observations.” Our system includes 11 million simulated astero...

In this paper, Intelligent water drop algorithm (IWD) is used to analyze single overhead line connected to grid-grounded arrester. In this approach, at first Norton’s equivalent circuit of the overhead line over lossy soil is computed by method of moments (MoM) and then for the problem under consideration, a nonlinear equivalent circuit in the frequency domain is proposed. Finally applying inte...

This article presents an integrated approach to reaching a robust decision in a full-scale multi-attribute decision problem inspired from a real-word case. The Hypothetical Equivalents and In-Equivalents Method (HEIM) is first validated using the full-scale decision problem. The major drawbacks of HEIM have been identified. In an attempt to eliminate the drawbacks of the HEIM, the Game Relative...

With the generation and analysis of stream data, such as network monitoring in real time, log records, click streams, a great deal of attention has been concerned on data streams mining in the field of data mining. In the process of the data streams mining, it is more reasonable to ask users to set a bound on the result size. Therefore, in this paper, an real-time single-pass algorithm, called ...

The steady and unsteady aerodynamic behaviour of a sailing yacht is investigated in this work by using full-scale testing on a Stewart 34. The aerodynamic forces developed by the yacht in real time are derived from knowledge of the differential pressures across the sails and the sail shape. Experimental results are compared with numerical computation and good agreement was found.
