This is an intensive five-day unit on the theory and practice of analysis of large sets of linked administrative health data at an introductory to intermediate level.

Rapid growth in data linkage projects has led to a shortfall in analyst skills.

Some researchers understand (...)

The full workshop consists of two related courses (Workshop 1: Introduction to Natural Gas Processing and Workshop 2: LNG Production) that review the physical, chemical and engineering principles used to understand the processing of natural gas and its by-products, the principles and operation of (...)

World records in athletic events can serve as physiological experiments in nature. By considering how the marathon record has changed over time it is possible to integrate ideas about oxygen consumption, running economy, and the "lactate threshold" and tell a coherent story about the (...)

Health informatics is a relatively new scientific discipline that incorporates knowledge from biomedicine, computer science, information science, psychology, business and other fields.

It deals with the systematic processing of data, information and knowledge in health in order to (...)

The course is designed as a comprehensive coverage of applied SEM techniques using the Mplus statistical software package. The first part of the course is focused on using the Mplus program to specify and interpret common models in SEM such as path analytic models, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) (...)

Single photons and single atoms are important carriers of quantum information. Using a network of atoms that are coupled to one another by single photons [1], it is possible to generate a cluster state: a highly entangled state that can be used as a resource for quantum computation.

We (...)
