An interactive computer program for studying fetal electroencephalograms.

Fetal electroencephalogram (FEEG), recorded during labor, produces very large volumes of data for visual interpretation. An established terminology, developed for the interpretation of neonatal electroencephalogram, has been found to be useful for visual pattern recognition of FEEG. A program, which identifies FEEG patterns within ten second epochs and provides direct comparison between visual and programmed analysis, has been developed using an interactive computer system. This program provides 85-90 percent consistency with visual interpretation.

A technique for obtaining feedback from students using a computer program in a veterinary anesthesia course.

INTRODUCTION: The College of Veterinary Medicine at Michigan State University has been using computer-aided instructional programs in our pre-clinical veterinary anesthesia course. We describe an embedded feedback collection module (FCM) that facilitates the process of formative evaluation of the program. METHODS: The instructional program was divided into discrete sections. The FCM was accessed easily from all sections of the program. Instructions for use of the FCM were delivered orally to all users of the instructional program and were included in the introduction section of the program. RESULTS: Feedback was obtained from successive classes of veterinary students over four years, using our computer-aided instructional program. Students in each class were required to use the program either in class or for review and to leave at least one comment in the FCM. Of the 653 responses, 293 were positive and expressed appreciation for the program, 209 contained specific comments or suggestions, and 151 were questions relating to the subject material contained within the program. Written survey feedback was also obtained from some students in these classes. CONCLUSION: Our FCM was effective and easy to implement. It proved an easy way to obtain user feedback, which was used in the ongoing process of program design and content improvement.

[The computer program package "SAMSON" for analysis of primary structure of biopolymers].

A program package "SAMSON" for the computer analysis of biopolymer primary structures is described. All possible modes of sequence investigation are considered. The programs for sequence comparison are described in some details. The general principles of a program package organisation and of its user interface are also mentioned. For more complete information see Vernoslov S.E. et al. "Program package "SAMSON" for the analysis of the polymer primary structures", parts 1 and 2, Poustchino, ONTI NCBI, 1989.

Cohort study analysis with a FORTRAN computer program.

We describe the analysis of cohort study data with a standard FORTRAN program which should run on most computers. It provides a summary measure of the mortality (or incidence) rate ratio between the study cohort and some standard population, based either on person-years at risk or on proportional mortality, and adjusted for age, sex and calendar period; a test of the statistical significance of the ratio; and a set of observed death rates in the study cohort. Results may also be produced in a form suitable for use with GLIM. The analysis may be subdivided into a range of time intervals since each subject was first exposed to risk. The program provides for movement of subjects between different 'level-of-exposure' subgroups within the cohort, and for various methods of censoring. It allows considerable flexibility in data management, and is available with complete documentation and a worked example. The program should enable epidemiologists with little computing experience to carry out formal analysis of cohort studies.

Genotype-phenotype mapping: genes as computer programs.

The effects of genes on phenotype are mediated by processes that are typically unknown but whose determination is desirable. The conversion from gene to phenotype is not a simple function of individual genes, but involves the complex interactions of many genes; it is what is known as a nonlinear mapping problem. A computational method called genetic programming allows the representation of candidate nonlinear mappings in several possible trees. To find the best model, the trees are 'evolved' by processes akin to mutation and recombination, and the trees that more closely represent the actual data are preferentially selected. The result is an improved tree of rules that represent the nonlinear mapping directly. In this way, the encoding of cellular and higher-order activities by genes is seen as directly analogous to computer programs. This analogy is of utility in biological genetics and in problems of genotype-phenotype mapping.

[Use of microcomputers in biomedical research. Project and implementation of an analysis of variance program. Computer notes].

Clinical and experimental numerical data evaluation requires microcomputer programs which greatly facilitate both the ease and speed of handling statistical data processing tasks. In present study designing and construction of variance analysis program is approached for application of computers to surgery. It is an approach which allows a physician who has some familiarity with programming techniques to rapidly construct and use a family of programs for statistical manipulation of numeric information.

A computer program for microplate reader interface and analysis of kinetic, microclot lysis assays.

This paper describes the development and use of a program for the APPLE IIe computer which records and analyzes data from an automated microplate reader for the purpose of determining the time required for clots formed in microplate wells to half lyse as determined by optical density readings. The use of this software has led to significant savings of technician time over that required for nonautomated systems.
