Abstract

Contemporary computer technology allows precise and fast large database analysis. Widespread and common use depends on appropriate, user friendly software, usually lacking in special medical applications. The aim of this work was to develop an integrated system designed to store, explore and analyze data of patients treated for pancreatic cancer. For that purpose the database administration system MS Visual Fox Pro 3.0 was used and special application, according to ISO 9000 series has been developed. The system works under MS Windows 95 with possibility of easy adaptation to MS Windows 3.11 or MS Windows NT by graphic user's interface. The system stores personal data, laboratory results, visual and histological analyses and information on treatment course and complications. However the system archives them and enables the preparation reports of according to individual and statistical needs. Help and security settings allow to work also for one not familiar with computer science.

k-Space partition diagrams: a graphical tool for analysis of MRI pulse sequences.

A new type of graphical tool for explaining and analyzing magnetic resonance imaging pulse sequences is developed and illustrated. This tool combines the partition diagram, which shows the evolution of multiple echoes with the application of multiple RF pulses, and k-space graphs, which show the evolution of the transverse magnetization as gradients are applied. The strength of the new tool lies in its ability to depict clearly the progression of complex imaging pulse sequences. Several complicated excitation sequences are used to illustrate this method.

Targeting visual motion.

A new stimulus display reveals that humans summate the motion energies of all components consistent with a single velocity, rather than optimizing sensitivity by ignoring noise.

Micronutrients Measurement Quality Assurance Program: helping participants use interlaboratory comparison exercise results to improve their long-term measurement performance.

Over the past decade, the Micronutrients Measurement Quality Assurance Program (M2QAP) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has administered nearly 40 interlaboratory comparison exercises devoted to fat-soluble vitamin-related analytes in human serum. While M2QAP studies have been used to help certify reference materials and to document the performance of analytical systems, the primary focus of the M2QAP has been, and remains, the improvement of among-participant measurement comparability for target analytes. Recent analysis of historical measurement performance indicated the most efficient mechanism for further improving measurement comparability among participants is the improvement of long-term (months to years) comparability within each laboratory. The summary reports for the M2QAP studies are being redesigned to provide more chemist-friendly analyses of participant performance, dissecting systematic and random components of measurement incomparability as functions of analyte level and time. This report documents the semantic and graphical tools developed to help interlaboratory-comparison-exercise participants interpret their own measurement performance.
