Abstract

Object Relocation is a computer program for Windows 95, with which experiments on spatial memory for object locations can be designed, run, and analyzed. Because of its clear graphical user interface, no long and complex command syntax is needed. Basically, a stimulus consists of a frame that contains a chosen number of locations (i.e., the actual spatial layout) to which objects can be assigned. When the experiment is run, these stimuli are presented to the subject for a variable period of time. Subsequently (either with or without a delay), the objects are presented in a row above the frame and have to be relocated to the correct positions. Finally, the raw data can be analyzed efficiently, using various error scores, and an SPSS-ready output file can be produced. Object Relocation is a very flexible program: New objects and positions can easily be added, and various options for presentation and relocation are present.

PDBsum: summaries and analyses of PDB structures.

PDBsum is a web-based database providing a largely pictorial summary of the key information on each macromolecular structure deposited at the Protein Data Bank (PDB). It includes images of the structure, annotated plots of each protein chain's secondary structure, detailed structural analyses generated by the PROMOTIF program, summary PROCHECK results and schematic diagrams of protein-ligand and protein-DNA interactions. RasMol scripts highlight key aspects of the structure, such as the protein's domains, PROSITE patterns and protein-ligand interactions, for interactive viewing in 3D. Numerous links take the user to related sites. PDBsum is updated whenever any new structures are released by the PDB and is freely accessible via http://www.biochem.ucl.ac.uk/bsm/pdbsum.

[Standardized findings in echocardiography using WWW: EchoBefundSystem].

As a non-invasive imaging system, ultrasound echocardiography has a very high impact on modern diagnosis and is widely used in clinical routine but without any structured and standardized documentation of the results. Thus, quality management (QM), statistics and comparison of the results are difficult. Therefore, a working group of the German Cardiac Society issued a consensus proposal. For evaluation and wide public distribution, we have developed the first internet-based application covering the full proposal: EchoBefundSystem. The EchoBefundSystem is a web based client-server application for standardized documentation of echocardiography results right at the workplace. The software leads the examiner by means of a user interface design and stored medical knowledge. The level of detail is scaled automatically to the ongoing examination. Every day clinical routine is performed on only two pages, one for general patient data and a second one covering the complete minimal data set called "minimum finding" in the standard. As the examiner discovers more and more special findings or might even enter a complete medical study, the interface offers more and more fields and checkboxes. One data set can contain up to 600 values and findings. The structured user interface reflects the organ structure as well as examination methods familiar to the examiner. Automatically calculated fields speed up the examination. Judgements, diagnoses, values and ranges are interrelated. If there is a difference between the entered data and the medical knowledge base, a warning will be issued but the doctor's decision is authoritative. Some values may be gathered by different methods and even different units are converted automatically. The final doctor's letter is generated automatically in clear text but still editable and can be given out to the patient right after the examination without any further delay. Beside the minimal data set, all abnormal findings will appear and findings will be summarized wherever possible. The report is intended for the referring general practitioner, your own documentation, expert witness as well as clinical studies.

Using densities of estimators to compare pharmacokinetic experiments.

Different designs of experiments are compared according to the shape, concentration, etc. of the densities of the least-squares estimator (conditional densities, marginal densities). In contrast with D'Argenio (J. Pharmacokinetics Biopharmaceutics 9(16) (1981) 739-756), where marginal densities have been obtained by simulations, we present here a faster procedure based on well-elaborated approximations of the densities. The stress is on the graphical presentation of the results.
