Abstract IBM System 34 (central processing unit, 128 kilobytes; fixed disks, 128.4 megabytes) with seven cathode-ray tubes has been used by our clinical laboratories for the last 30 months. All data-entry programs are in a conversational mode, for on-line corrections of possible errors in patient identification and results. Daily reports are removed from the medical records after temporary and permanent cumulative weekly reports are received, which keep a three-month track of the results. The main advantages of the system are: (a) the increasing laboratory work load can be handled with the same staff; (b) the volume of the medical record files on the patients is decreased; (c) an easily retrievable large data base of results is formed for research purposes; (d) faster billing; and (e) the computer system is run without engaging any additional staff.

TELD stands for “Teaching by Examples and Learning by Doing.” It is an on-line courseware engine over the World Wide Web. There are four folds of meanings in TELD. First, TELD represents a teaching and learning method that unifies a number of contemporary methods such as Problem-Based Learning (PBL) in medical education, Project-Based Learning (PBL) in engineering education, and Case Method (CM) in business education. Second, TELD serves as a Web server for hosting teaching and learning materials especially based on the TELD method. A variety of on-line facilities are provided for editing and uploading course materials such as syllabus, schedule, curriculum, examples of case study, exercises of mini-project, formative and summative assessments, etc. Third, TELD is a courseware search engine where educators are able to register their course materials and search for materials suitable for a particular course. In contrast with general-purpose search engines, TELD is set up for the special purpose of education. Therefore, the time and efforts spent on surfing are expected to be reduced dramatically. Finally, TELD is an on-line virtual classroom for electronic delivery of electronic curriculum materials. In addition to providing the lecture notes, TELD not only provides discussion questions for conducting in-class discussions and homework as formative assessment but also provides facilities for students to plan and submit their group work. This article presents an overview of the TELD courseware engine together with its background and underlying philosophy.

Over Time

The general purpose of this study was to examine counseling services as a correlate of institutional commitment and related variables over time on a sample of non-urgent undergraduates. Data for non-urgent clients at a University Counseling Center (UCC) were collected using on-line surveys over four time-periods. Within-time correlations generally showed that mental health concerns was negatively related to institutional commitment, while counseling help belief was positively related. Institutional commitment is defined as a student feeling that he or she selected the right institution to attend Using a smaller sample, i.e., n = 15, of complete-data clients matched-over-time, overall level of mental health concerns significantly declined, while institutional commitment significantly increased. Counseling help belief decreased from Time 1 to Time 2 but then increased over time. Scientifically demonstrating to higher-level University administration that counseling over time can positively influence undergraduates’ institutional commitment can help the UCC to increase its allocation of university-based resources to keep pace with non-urgent client demands.

Factor Data

A uv-visible recording spectrophotometer has been developed which uses an on-line general purpose digital computer and the optical train of a conventional double beam recording spectrophotometer. The computer controls all functions of the instrument and permits the collection and manipulation of high quality absorption spectra without the use of electronic or optical correction devices. Spectra are represented by a series of up to 500 individual data points. Spectra can be manipulated in a variety of ways to meet particular experimental situations and can be displayed or plotted on an arbitrary absorbance scale. A spectrum can be added to, or substracted from, any other spectrum, differentiated, converted to log absorbance, or multiplied by an arbitrary factor. Data can be preserved on paper tape or presented graphically as a high quality labeled plot of variable size on either a wave-length or a wave number scale. The complete system can scan a full spectrum at a maximum rate of 30 nm/sec over any part of a range from 230 to 700 nm. Details of the system are presented with examples of its performance.

Service Paradigm

Canadian engineering schools must make the transition to outcome-based programming, assessment, and accreditation. The task can be daunting, especially for small schools or programs that cannot rely on extensive information technology support. Cloud-based services are a quick, low-cost option for facilitating many data-management and collaborative tasks required by the process. Cloud services have evolved from mere on-line storage to the "software as a service" paradigm. We report our experience with two services that facilitate collaborative work. Using on-line, specially crafted questionnaires, information may be automatically collected and formatted into spreadsheets, providing a powerful, general purpose data collection engine. This approach was used at various stages in the transition to graduate attributes processing: curriculum mapping, assessment, etc. On-line services have also been used to create a distributed repository of relevant literature for supporting the work of the “attributes”team.

We present in this communication an algorithm that offers continuous, on-line, real-time analysis of the power spectrum (CORAPS) of systemic arterial pressure (SAP) signals. Based on direct fast Fourier transform of raw SAP signals into power spectral density, it is suitable for the delineation of acute SAP spectral changes over time after physiological or pharmacological perturbations. Thus it is an improvement over most current methods, which only generate the spectra off-line or from intermittent data. Furthermore, all executions can be accomplished economically with a general-purpose personal computer. We demonstrated and quantified vivid sequential alterations in the low-frequency components (< 3 Hz) of the SAP spectrum, which purportedly reflect the influence of vasomotor, baroreceptor, and respiratory activity on SAP during pentobarbital administration or transient hypertension. Three window options incorporated into the algorithm further improved the frequency or temporal resolution and discrimination of the spectral changes during abrupt hypertension or hypotension. Thus our CORAPS algorithm may be useful as an on-line monitor for acute hemodynamic changes.

Access Data

Due to the fast pace of computer instrumentation and technology, we are quickly approaching an age where on-line use of expensive research facilities will become commonplace. The consequences of this trend will be multifaceted. It will allow scientist and researchers to perform experiments and access data with greater ease without the burden some overhead associated with working onsite. It will allow for the on-line storage and analysis of data. And lastly, an ideal testbed will be provided for integrating intelligent man-machine interfaces in order to reduce labor intensive tasks. This will simplify the control of complicated instruments via automation of the controls whose human control is not essential. Unfortunately, attempts at building a common platform for remote operation will face several problems. First of all, a successful general purpose architecture will frequently need to be extended in order to perform new functions as well as utilize new hardware. Similarly, the continued development of new microscopes, stage controls, etc. will undoubtedly create incompatible interfaces which will break presently working systems. Lastly, the environment that such a system will operate will likely be characterized by heterogeneous hardware and software. Based on the experience of building on-line systems for use of optical and electron microscopes, we propose a scalable system architecture based on the principles of object oriented design and analysis, a machine independent user- interface based on Java, and a software bus that supports distributed objects over the network.
