An integrated system for ice-fabric analysis on a Rigsby stage is described. The system consists of a regular Rigsby stage fitted with two opto-electronic sensors for assessment of azimuth and the tilt angle of each individual grain. Signals from the sensors are transmitted to a computer terminal via an interface box, which facilitates transformation of Gray-coded data to ASCII data records. The terminal is hooked up to a main-frame computer (VAX 750), where the digitized angles of the c-axis orientations of individual thin sections are stored in separate data files. These files are compatible with other already existing files containing additional ice-core data and thus become part of an extensive data bank. Appropriate software has been developed to produce, among other things, plots of c-axis orientations in a Schmidt net.

Effectiveness Studies

Intensive care units now exist in a large number of hospitals. They vary from one another in many respects, but have one thing in common — high running costs. There are few published reports in recent years of the workload, results and effectiveness of intensive care units. This paper presents data obtained from a new unit in 1977 and 1978, using a computer-controlled system of data storage and analysis. This has provided useful information of an administrative and clinical nature, and has enabled us to compare data from year to year, as well as allowing comparisons with data from other units. The potential exists for such a system to be used in evaluating criteria for admission and termination of care, and for cost-effectiveness studies.

Abstract This paper describes the evaluation of a system for computer-controlled discrete sampling and stopped-flow mixing for equilibrium and kinetic determinations of several sorts of analytes in human serum. The instrumental system features a wash-out sampling system that permits rapid change-over from one sample and (or) reagent type to another, and a mixing-measurement system that can provide reliable data as soon as 10 ms after reagent and sample are mixed. Examples discussed include equilibrium procedures for glucose and cholesterol, slow kinetic procedures for glucose and lactate dehydrogenase, and a fast kinetic method for thiocyanate. The regression equation for all stopped-flow results (n = 114) vs. results by conventional methods is y = (103 +/- 0.01)x - (0.016 +/- 0.019) for numerical values of y between 0.3 and 3.0. The correlation coefficient for these data was 0.991. These results demonstrate that the stopped-flow method is a viable analytical approach for equilibrium, slow kinetic, and fast kinetic determinations that require measurement times shorter than 0.1 s.
