Optimal time-frequency projections for localized tomography.

An algorithm for recovering a function from essentially localized values of its Radon transform and sparse nonlocal values was outlined in Reference 13. That algorithm utilized the time-frequency properties of wavelets, coupled with the range theorems for the Radon transform, to localize essentially the dependence of the Radon transform. In this paper we utilize alternative time-frequency projections which were introduced by Coifman and Meyer (4). We present evidence that these bases are optimal according to our criterion for localized tomography. These bases require significantly less data than the wavelet bases that were used in Reference 13. Finally, we present numerical results supporting this work.

Severely and persistently mentally ill in Hawaii: profile and implications.

This study examines the characteristics, treatment, and care of severely and persistently mentally ill clients at Hawaii's largest public-sector psychiatric facility, Hawaii State Hospital. The implications of this information are discussed in terms of treatment and care. As was found in previous studies, the 88 participants included in this study were mostly male, less than 40 years of age, with a high school education or less, and hospitalized under a penal code. More remarkable variations were revealed, however, when clients were grouped according to ethnicity and racial origin. For example, clients from marginalized groups had a significantly higher likelihood of violence than clients from more politically, economically, and socially powerful groups in Hawaii. The findings of this research challenge nurses to combine social advocacy with clinical expertise to provide effective and complete treatment and care.
