The Operant Motive Test (OMT) has been conceptionalized to measure the amalgam of aroused needs and motive-relevant traits which specifies an implementation strategy of the motive. Therefore the OMT differs conceptionally from the TAT. In Study 1 we found empirical evidence for this interaction hypothesis. The OMT, but not the TAT, was a function of a significant interaction effect of an arouse...

Few multi-centre studies of the impact of computerised provider order entry (CPOE) systems on health care efficiency and effectiveness exist. Further, demonstrating a link between system use and improvements in patient outcomes is challenging. An often neglected step is to characterise the nature of the problem prior to CPOE introduction to ensure that the 'problem' being addressed has a demons...

With the progress of system integration technology, a variety of noise problems, so-called power/signal integrity and EMI issues, have become very serious in the field of chip (LSI), package and board (PCB) design. These problems cause frequently the unexpected behaviors on the today’s high-density and high-speed circuits. Thus, useful remedies are strongly demanded and the development of novel...

Computational linguistic measures offer a promisi...
