Despite having a medical home, pediatric patients continue emergency department (ED) utilization for various reasons. This study examines parental reasons associated with the decision to seek ED care in a group of low-income, inner-city, publicly insured children. Surveys were conducted with parents of children (age = 0-19 years) presenting to a community-based clinic, which has an established medical home model with enhanced access. Most patients (88.3%) had a pediatrician, and nearly all (93.3%) reported a visit to the ED; most (75.7%) were aware of clinic walk-in hours, but less than half (42.6%) were aware of an after-hours phone line. There was no difference in those who were aware of walk-in hours or an after-hours phone line and a reported ED visit. Half of the parents (52.5%) thought their child’s medical problem was serious. In addition to providing enhanced efforts, medical homes should strive to make families aware of increased access.

Remote Treatment

Digitization of biomedical signals has been used in several areas. Some of these include ambulatory monitoring, phone line transmission, database storage, and several other applications in health and biomedical engineering. These applications have helped in diagnostics, patient care, and remote treatment. One example is the digital transmission of ECG signals, from the patient’s house or ambulance to the hospital. This has been proven useful in cardiac diagnoses. Biomedical signals need to be digitally stored or transmitted with a large number of samples per second, and with a great number of bits per sample, in order to assure the required fidelity of the waveform for visual inspection. Therefore, the use of signal compression techniques is fundamental for cost reduction and technical feasibility of storage and transmission of biomedical signals.

The paper is intended to keep up security amongst 4 parallel telephones associated with a solitary telephone cable wire. The proposed system provide near independent line like performance for the set of 4 intercoms line. At the point when two or more telephone is associated with a solitary telephone wire line, anybody can pick up telephone to attend the discussion on other end. The projected framework gives an answer for security amongst the telephones associated. So as to meet the prerequisite we are utilizing four phones associated as a part of parallel throughout solitary phone cable line with every phone associated through communicate a transfer in the framework. At the point when any of phone is picked up every single other telephone are disengaged by the transfers through a configuration plan of opt couplers, the consequence of that is provided to a code able Arduino. The Arduino drives signal to a seven segment demonstration to show which phone is picked up, whereas different phones are disengaged by particular transfers with assist of Relay-Driver Integrated Circuit connected to Arduino. The system can be utilized in home and workplaces there two or more phone is associated in parallel throughout a solitary phone line wire. The venture is reasonable for both approaching and going outward calls. Facilitate the venture can be upgraded by including more numeral of telephones with intercom service. An approaching caller ID service can likewise add further to this.

Set Up

A consistent challenge with lectures to large audiences is the extent to which the lecturer can develop interaction with the audience. Obtaining answers to the lecturer’s questions or stimulating questions from the audience during the lecture may be hampered by the fact that the lecturer and the audience are not able to hear speakers in the audience clearly. This article reports on an experimental design to test the feasibility of allowing live SMS messaging as a means to stimulate interaction during large lectures. The context concerned lectures on academic writing in bachelor’s programmes in business and economics. Each lecture attracted about 500 students. The students were invited to send text messages to a dedicated phone line connected to a computer, which, at chosen intervals, displayed messages for everyone to see. The set-up allowed the lecturer to switch instantly from slides to the message display. Messages could be easily transferred to an Excel fi le for subsequent processing if necessary. Results showed that students did not use the opportunity as frequently as expected, and most messages were not relevant to the topics of the lectures. In this article, explanations for these outcomes are discussed, and recommendations for further implementation are presented. Using a new technology, even a pervasive one like SMS messaging, in a lecture entails modifications to the design, delivery and content of the lecture itself.

The City

O. C. W. Taylor was a visionary. He saw the slings and arrows piercing the minds and souls of black folk in the city and offered broadcast programming that obliterated negative stereotypes. In 1966, he became the first black television announcer and producer. Later Vernon Winslow transitioned from disc jockeying popular music and moved to gospel, a genre within which he had a signature voice. Before supremacists allowed Taylor and Winslow into their broadcast studios, Cosimo Matassa, who operated a small recording studio, ran a phone line from the building and connected it to the transmitter at WNOE and WWEZ. He allowed the pioneers to broadcast live from his business, J&M Recording Studio. Among the last pioneer unfolded herein is Larry McKinney who worked at WMRY, WYLD, and WNNR in 1975.

This chapter looks at how to ensure that social cues are present on the trading floor. It introduces the sales desk at International Securities, along with its convivial work atmosphere. Sales traders did not buy or sell stocks for the bank's proprietary account but executed trades for their customers instead. Their skills and resources, including humor, excitement, charisma, or business contacts at the stock exchanges, were different from and complementary to those of other traders on the floor. In the course of the chapter's observations, the sales traders appeared to be engaged in a number of seemingly controversial practices such as earning soft-dollar commissions, crossing the Chinese Wall, or pulling pranks on accidental callers to the bank's phone line. By examining the ways in which these sales traders adopted, modified, and conceived of these practices, the chapter reveals their practiced, as opposed to stated, morality.
