Show moreThe purpose of this study was first to determine factors associated with intellectual reputation. Second, the study aimed to examine intellectual reputation in relationship to doctoral graduates’ productivity in the biomedical sciences and in relationship to organizational biomedical advancement and productivity. Third, the study aimed to visualize a spatial relationship between intellectual reputation and local organizational biomedical advancement and productivity. Finally, a simulated research-based model was proposed for understanding hospital productivity. The study used quantitative analysis and The Geographic Information System GIS. The findings from this study suggest that university’s research intensity, having a Nobel Laureate on staff, Hirsch Index of the most prominent researcher on staff, scientific patent, scientific publications, and affiliation with multiple countries are good predictors of intellectual reputation. Correlation analysis suggests that university intellectual reputation is associated with doctoral graduates’ productivity. When examining the relationship between the university and hospitals, university intellectual reputation was positively correlated with hospital biomedical advancement. Hospital productivity was significantly correlated with university intellectual reputation. University intellectual reputation was significantly correlated with hospital capacity to absorb knowledge and knowledge spillover. Regression analysis also reveals that hospital capacity to absorb knowledge and knowledge spillover are good predictors of hospital biomedical advancement, F 2, 176 62.637, p 0.001.Visual examination of the hospitals suggests that when universities publish at a large quantity, this influences hospitals within the area to publish as well. Additionally, hospitals that are more productive tend to cluster around universities with higher intellectual reputation.

Abstract/Description
-
As computing technology continues to advance, it has become increasingly difficult to find businesses that do not rely, at least in part, upon the collection and analysis of data for project management and process improvement. The cost of software, for example, tends to increase over time due to its complexity and the expense of employing humans to develop, maintain, and evolve it. To help control costs, organizations often seek to improve the process by which software systems are developed...
Show moreAs computing technology continues to advance, it has become increasingly difficult to find businesses that do not rely, at least in part, upon the collection and analysis of data for project management and process improvement. The cost of software, for example, tends to increase over time due to its complexity and the expense of employing humans to develop, maintain, and evolve it. To help control costs, organizations often seek to improve the process by which software systems are developed and evolved. Improvements can be realized by discovering previously unknown or hidden relationships between the artifacts generated as a result of developing a complex software system. The objective of this the work was to engineer a visualization software tool that helps managers and engineers better plan for future projects by helping them discover new knowledge gained by synthesizing and visualizing data mined from software repository records from their own previous projects.

Purpose: This study was designed to define the antibiotic resistance index of the cultivable oral microbiome to Amoxiacilin Clavulanic acid, Vancomycin, Ciprofloxacin, Clarithomycin, Chlorotetracyclin, Bacitracin, Kanamycin and Tobramycin using a new method adapted from the Kirby Bauer assay. Method: Oral wash samples were collected from 2 current smokers and 2 nonsmokers.

Show morePurpose: This study was designed to define the antibiotic resistance index of the cultivable oral microbiome to Amoxiacilin Clavulanic acid, Vancomycin, Ciprofloxacin, Clarithomycin, Chlorotetracyclin, Bacitracin, Kanamycin and Tobramycin using a new method adapted from the Kirby Bauer assay. Method: Oral wash samples were collected from 2 current smokers and 2 nonsmokers. Bacterial community were pelleted by centrifugation and used to create a lawn for the assay employing standard disk diffusion assay. Zones of inhibition and number of colonies in the zone were recorded. Mean values of inhibition zones were compared to established databases to draw conclusions. Result: The zones of inhibition of Bacitracin antibiotics shows that several bacteria from one of the non smokers were resistant to Bacitracin, while the smokers showed marked susceptibility. Conclusion: The new method developed in our lab yielded consistent set of data which serve as criteria for determining resistance of the oral microbiome to antibiotics. Quite remarkably, it is known that pathogenic beta Streptococci are susceptible to Bacitracin while non-pathogens are not; confirming that healthy persons harbor the healthy strains of streptococci. However the unanswered question is …. Could these normal biota pick up genes and become resistant too? Only time and human habits will decide but we have developed a baseline and an easy method for testing.
