schottky barrier and contact resistance
The document discusses Schottky barriers and contact resistance at metal-semiconductor junctions. Some key points:
1) A Schottky barrier forms at a metal-semiconductor junction and depends on the barrier height. The barrier height is influenced by the work functions but often does not follow predictions due to interface states.
2) Contact resistance is measured using the transmission line method, where resistance is measured across test structures with varying metal contact lengths. Specific contact resistance is calculated from these measurements.
3) Contact resistance is important to optimize in semiconductor devices and production. It is influenced by temperature and current effects at the metal-semiconductor interface.

Medical coding and ICD9CM review
Medical coding professionals assign codes to medical documentation of health care services provided to patients. The coder abstracts information from records of office visits, hospital stays, or ambulatory care and assigns codes according to classification systems like ICD-9-CM. Codes are used to bill and get paid for services. Coding involves both outpatient care like office visits and same-day procedures, as well as more complex inpatient care for hospital stays over 24 hours for conditions such as surgery or medical issues. Coders must understand multiple code sets and guidelines to accurately classify the services delivered to patients.
6.1. thermal oxidation 1,2.micro tech,2013
Thermal oxidation is a process used to grow silicon dioxide films on silicon substrates. It involves heating silicon in an oxygen-containing environment to form a stable silicon-dioxide layer. The growth rate of the oxide layer follows a Deal-Grove model based on diffusion and reaction kinetics. While this model accurately describes thicker oxide growth, additional terms are needed to model the initially faster growth rate of very thin oxides. The oxidation rate depends on factors like temperature, oxidizing ambient, crystal orientation, and dopant concentration.

EHR-based Phenome Wide Association Study in Pancreatic Cancer
Presented at 2014 AMIA Joint Summits, April 9, 2014, San Francisco, CA
BACKGROUND. Pancreatic cancer is one of the most common causes of cancer-related deaths in the United States, it is difficult to detect early and typically has a very poor prognosis. We present a novel method of large-scale clinical hypothesis generation based on phenome wide association study performed using Electronic Health Records (EHR) in a pancreatic cancer cohort. METHODS. The study population consisted of 1,154 patients diagnosed with malignant neoplasm of pancreas seen at The Froedtert & The Medical College of Wisconsin academic medical center between the years 2004 and 2013. We evaluated death of a patient as the primary clinical outcome and tested its association with the phenome, which consisted of over 2.5 million structured clinical observations extracted out of the EHR including labs, medications, phenotypes, diseases and procedures. The individual observations were encoded in the EHR using 6,617 unique ICD-9, CPT-4, LOINC, and RxNorm codes. We remapped this initial code set into UMLS concepts and then hierarchically expanded to support generalization into the final set of 10,164 clinical concepts, which formed the final phenome. We then tested all possible pairwise associations between any of the original 10,164 concepts and death as the primary outcome. RESULTS. After correcting for multiple testing and folding back (generalizing) child concepts were appropriate, we found 231 concepts to be significantly associated with death in the study population.
CONCLUSIONS. With the abundance of structured EHR data, phenome wide association studies combined with
knowledge engineering can be a viable method of rapid hypothesis generation.

Semantic Interoperability in Health Information Exchange
Presented at HIMSS14 Annual Conference & Exhibition, February 26, 2014, Orlando, FL.
http://www.himssconference.org/Education/EventDetail.aspx?ItemNumber=25331
Meaningful Use certification requires several large vocabulary standards for representing clinical facts in health information exchange. This presents unique challenges for semantic interoperability such as information loss in translating from and to internal data dictionaries, semantic drift, dealing with legacy content (e.g., ICD-9) and clinical information reconciliation.
Re-identification of de-identified PHI date elements
This document discusses the risks of inadvertently re-identifying patients when de-identifying health data sets through random date shifting. It notes that with multiple releases of data using random shifting, there is a high probability that some patients' dates could be re-identified. It provides an example of how two extremes of a randomly shifted birth date across two data sets could be used to guess the original birth date. The document recommends stopping the use of random shifts and instead using a non-random value for shifting to avoid this re-identification risk, especially as more data sets are released.
Medication Reconciliation in Electronic Health Information Exchange
Presented at Midwest HIMSS Fall Technology Conference - November 12, 2013 http://www.falltechnologyconference.org/
Next-generation phenotyping using UMLS and Meaningful Use ontologies: SNOMED ...
SNOMED CT, LOINC, and RxNorm, fuelled by the Meaningful Use legislation, are poised to become the cornerstone of U.S. health information interchange. SNOMED CT is one of the most comprehensive, multilingual medical terminologies in the world. LOINC is a universal standard for identifying laboratory observations. RxNorm is a standardized nomenclature for generic and branded drugs. All three are integrated within the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) maintained by the U.S. National Library of Medicine.
While physicians rarely have to deal with clinical terminologies directly, these are indispensable for data querying, validation and reconciliation. The Clinical Informatics team at the Medical College of Wisconsin has developed ClinMiner (https://clinminer.hmgc.mcw.edu), a clinical research portal for clinical and diagnostic information on patients in genetics clinics and clinical sequencing programs, as well as other clinical research projects. ClinMiner is a larger system that incorporates data entry forms, patient reports, advanced querying, export and data visualization. Data for the system consists of many clinical and referral documents the patients have accumulated throughout their clinic and diagnostic histories, and are standardized through the three Meaningful Use ontologies: SNOMED CT, RxNorm and LOINC; integrated into a single UMLS perspective that allows for seamless and dynamic translation between the annotating sources, as well as provides a consolidated view of the underlying patient data.
This approach is unique in integrating all three terminologies into a single workflow of a clinical application, and in fact is not limited to Meaningful Use, as any terminology integrated within the UMLS can be used to annotate, visualize, and query data. This is of particular significance for reintegrating legacy clinical information, for example, billing data annotated with ICD-9 codes in the process of transitioning to ICD-10. Most importantly, as large resources such as SNOMED CT and the UMLS often remain underused due to their sheer size and complexity, ClinMiner demonstrates that the additional effort is well worth it.
Quality Assurance in LOINC® using Description Logic
When multiple LOINC parts map to the same SNOMED CT concept, it indicates that those LOINC parts are semantically equivalent according to SNOMED CT. Even though they are represented separately in LOINC, SNOMED CT provides the integration by grouping them under a single concept. This enriches the representation and allows for more complete reasoning and quality assurance across terminologies.
Unifying ontology services for functional genomic annotations
The document provides information about the Experimental Factor Ontology (EFO). EFO models experimental factors from genomic studies stored in the ArrayExpress archive, including species, diseases, and cell lines. It captures about 30% of terms not already in the UMLS. EFO uses reference ontologies and automatic mapping to import synonyms and definitions. Regression testing verifies ontology changes. EFO has a web interface and content negotiation support, and defines experimental factor hierarchies used in the Gene Expression Atlas to aggregate experiments.
EFO tools - the good, the great, and the evil
The document discusses different tools used for the Experimental Factor Ontology (EFO), including those used to assign definitions and cross-references from external ontologies, as well as tools used for quality control and string matching. It notes that n-gram matching is an effective but relatively unknown method for string approximation and ontology development. The document acknowledges contributions from various groups and individuals in supporting the development of EFO.
