Improving Adherence to Otitis Media Guidelines With Clinical Decision Support and Physician Feedback

Expectations are high that electronic health record–based clinical decision support and performance feedback will improve adherence to guidelines by delivering relevant and actionable information to clinicians. Few studies have evaluated these assertions or examined the combined effects of decision support and feedback.

Clinical decision support customized to a patient’s history and presentation and performance feedback are both effective for improving adherence to guidelines for otitis media. However, the combination of the 2 interventions is no better than either delivered alone. (Read the full article)

This randomized controlled trial included a large sample of elementary school students with ADHD who received in-school computer attention training with neurofeedback or cognitive training. Students who received neurofeedback were reported to have fewer ADHD symptoms 6 months after the intervention. (Read the full article)

USDA seeks feedback from Delaware farmers on 2017 crop production and supply levels

The Delaware Department of Agriculture is urging farmers to participate in the two major mid-year surveys, the June Agricultural Survey and the June Area Survey, conducted by USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS). NASS will survey nearly 400 farmers across Delaware to determine crop production and supply levels in 2017. “As an $8 billion industry, agriculture plays a major role in Delaware’s economy,” said Secretary of Agriculture Michael Scuse. “The information that our farmers provide is critical to helping everyone – from fellow farmers to lawmakers to extension professionals – make decisions that will impact our industry. It is critical that NASS has the most accurate data, so I urge Delaware farmers to participate in the June Surveys.”

I can do this "static" using ETCH/L02 with out an issue, but I am trying to avoid doing an axlShapeChangeDynamicType().

Extracting 1dB bandwidth from parametric sweep-DFT results

Hi all,

I am using ADE assembler.

I ran transient simulation and swept the input frequency (Fin) of the circuit. And I use Spectrum Measurement to return a value of the fundamental tone magnitude (Sig_fund) for each sweep point. 

Previously, I use "plot across design points" to plot both "Fin" and "Sig_fund", and then use "Y vs Y" to get a waveform of Sig_fund vs Fin. Measure the 1dB Bandwidth with markers. 

Can I realized above measurement with an expression in "output setup" ? And how?

I know to set the "Eval type" to "sweep" to process the data across sweep points. But here, it has to return an interpolated value from "Fin" with a criteria "(value(calcVal("Sig_fund"  0) - 1)". I am not sure whether it can be done in ADE assembler.

Thanks and regards,

Yutao
