Workgroup diversity can be conceptualized as variety, separation, or disparity. Thus, the proper operationalization of diversity depends on how a diversity dimension has been defined. Analytically, the minimal diversity must be obtained when there are no differences on an attribute among the members of a group, however maximal diversity has a different shape for each conceptualization of divers...

In recent decades, the health care delivery system in the United States has been greatly transformed and more widely examined. Even with one of the most developed health care systems in the world, the United States still experiences great spatial disparity in health care access. Increasing diversity of class, culture, and ethnicity also has a significant impact on health disparity. The goal of ...

Accurate disparity estimation is a key ingredient required when generating a high fidelity novel view from a set of input views. In this paper, a high quality disparity estimation method is proposed for view synthesis from multiple input images with large disparities and occlusions. The method optimally selects one out of three image pairs to estimate the disparity map for different regions of ...

In stereo vision application, the disparity between the stereo images allows depth estimation within a scene. Detecting conjugate pair in stereo images is a challenging problem known as the correspondence problem. In this paper, an overview of stereo vision is introduced as well as an efficient algorithm and a simple method in depth estimation. We use in this paper the well known matching algor...

The presence of a more distant object helps judge an object’s position in depth. To find out why, we examined whether misjudging a distant cube’s location induces a corresponding misjudgment of a nearer sphere’s location. Various configurations of a distant cube and a near sphere were presented in total darkness. Each configuration was presented twice: in one presentation, subjects localized th...

Binocular diplopia is a debilitating visual symptom requiring immediate intervention for symptomatic control, whether or not definitive treatment is eventually possible. Where prismatic correction is infeasible, the current standard is occlusion, either by a patch or an opaque contact lens. In eliminating one problem-diplopia-occlusive techniques invariably create another: reduced peripheral vi...

Dialogue and a deeper understanding of disproportionality and disparity in child welfare are crucial to crafting effective policy and practice. This document introduces the literature on disproportionality and disparity in the child welfare system. It includes a brief overview of key themes in the literature, summaries of sample articles representing different perspectives, and a longer referen...

thyroid scintigraphy has been helpful in detecting and evaluation of thyroid nodules. sodium pertechnetate tc-99m is the most commonly used radionuclide for thyroid imaging because of its general availability, favorable dosimetric characteristics and low cost. but, there are reports of occasional disparity in isotope uptake in lesions compared with radioiodide. in order to determine percentage ...
