These studies are based on computerised recording techniques (graphics tablet and a pressure-sensitive pen) to analyse motor parameters during the copying of simple or complex geometric figures.
Thus many radiological in vivo studies of PE wear in THR are still based on computerised measurements on plain radiographs, and these methods are still very useful in retrospective, long-term clinical follow-up studies of PE wear and in the evaluation of older, high-wear bearing couples.
Syndromic algorithms for detecting patients with potentially transmissible infectious diseases based on computerised ED records perform reasonably well for SGRS and cutaneous syndrome group, with an acceptable balance between sensitivity and excess workload associated with the validation of false positives.
We excluded from the baseline population those men with incorrect or incomplete national registration numbers and those who were diagnosed with cancer (not including non-melanoma skin cancer) or moved out of the county prior to baseline, based on computerised linkage of the cohort to the National Cancer Registry and the Population Registry.
1) To assess what proportion of spirometry test results from healthy nonsmokers in the NHANES III study [ 4] would be included in a study if quality control decisions had been based on computerised application of the 1994 ATS [ 3] and 2005 ATS/ERS [ 1] EOT definitions.
Quantitative data for EMAP-II and CA IX expression were acquired with a semiautomatic method based on computerised digital image analysis system (Gray Cancer Institute, UK), which has been shown to be a reproducible method (Araya et al, 1998; de Moissac et al, 2000).
Such production lines could be extremely efficient, provided they turned out large volumes of the same product say, a minimum of 200,000 car bodies a year or 600,000 a year of something as complicated as an engine.Fortunately, the trend today is to use "soft tooling" based on computerised production systems that allow far greater flexibility.
