In our current implementation, we have ICD-9-CM and Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) standard terminologies loaded.
For liquefaction loading, the seismic hazard from a known fault is considered; and for liquefaction resistance, soil parameters, characterized mainly by cone penetration test (CPT) and standard penetration test (SPT), and their uncertainties are considered.
In situ measurements of shear wave velocity, using suspension PS logging, along with cone penetration, CPT, and standard penetration, SPT, resistance values, and results from series of resonant column and cyclic triaxial tests were used to obtain a 3-D representation of the subsoil characteristics found at the site, and the variation of dynamic properties with strain level.
Here we describe an ongoing randomized controlled trial investigating the efficacy of our novel hybrid treatment, SMART-CPT, as compared to standard CPT, for OIF/OEF/OND Veterans with PTSD and a history of mild to moderate TBI.
We describe an ongoing randomized controlled trial investigating the efficacy of our innovative, integrated BA+CPT intervention, compared with standard CPT, for active duty service members with PTSD and comorbid MDD.
Novel algorithms were developed for handling the occurrence of thin layers within a stratigraphic profile to account for the fact that the standard CPT cone cannot accurately sense layers with thickness below a certain limit and a representative cone resistance cannot be obtained if the layer is too thin.
One limitation of the 5C-CPT protocol in relation to standard CPT tests is that it is self- and not experimenter-paced.
A standard CPT typically records the child's omission errors (responding when the target is present), commission errors (responding when the target is not present), number of correct responses, reaction time and variability in reaction time.
Cultural adaptations, described elsewhere, were made to the standard CPT treatment so as to accommodate cultural differences, better meet the needs of clients with lower levels of education, and to be easier for therapists with less training in mental health interventions to administer [ 26].
These included rote memorization drills on the skill/assignment for clients to practice over the next week, using mobile phones to record homework, and involving family members as scribes (if there was a family member that the client trusted. No other content specific changes were made to the standard CPT protocol.
Using this "cut-off" method, individual patients were identified as having IA to mechanical stimuli when the three tested areas showed a mean overall CPT 1 or more standard deviation (SD) less than the basal mean CPT, in the same areas of control subjects.
