[Clinical monitoring. A method for quality control].

Clinical monitoring approximates the quality control standards that have been developed by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) and utilizes clinical indicators to measure the relative quality of the health care given. This method can be used to compare the quality of desired care against actual day by day care. To demonstrate how it can be applied, an example of clinical monitoring performed in a U.S. hospital is presented.

Motion displacement thresholds for compound stimuli predicted by the displacement of centroids.

Minimum displacement thresholds were measured using a compound motion stimulus, in which a single bar split into oppositely moving components, having different luminances and absolute displacements. The results fit a simple model in which observers detect the movement of the centroid of the combined luminance pattern of the two components. This was so even when the two components were separated by more than the static spatial resolution limit of 30 sec arc.
