Patient waiting times within public Emergency Centres in the Western Cape: describing key performance indicators with respect to waiting times within Western Cape Emergency Centres in 2013-2014
… for hospitals, with a non-significant trend for CHCs. At hospital ECs, green patients were triaged significantly faster than yellow patients; this was not the case at CHCs. The mean time from triage to clinician consultation for all-comers across all facilities (over two hours) was significantly …

A big data augmented analytics platform to operationalize efficiencies at community clinics
Community Health Centers (CHCs) play a pivotal role in delivery of primary healthcare to the underserved, yet have not benefited from a modern data analytics platform that can support clinical, operational and financial decision making across the continuum of care. This research is based on a …

An in vitro cell lineage model to identify alterations in the differentiation program of neuroblastoma
… ganglia neurons (SGNs), and of chromaffin cells (ChCs), the major cell population of the adrenal medulla (AM). The SCPs are known to be precursors of the mature Schwann cells but recently a new role has been highlighted for them in forming the ChCs. Furthermore, according to a new hypothesis of …

Low Health Literacy Interventions and Resources Used At Community Health Centers Using Decision Support from the Care Model
<p>Community health centers (CHCs) serve the largest portion of the medically underserved patients in the United States. Little health literacy research has been conducted in the community health center setting. The Care Model, more specifically the elements of the health care organization, …

Hydrogeologic Model of a Leachate Plume in an Unconfined Coastal Plain Aquifer and Chemical Transport Mechanisms of Metals and Dense Non-Aqueous Phase Liquids
… the migration of chlorinated hydrocarbons (CHCs) and metals in unconfmed high porosity sandstone, indicating that migration for both CHCs and metals were caused by advective transport. In addition, the results also indicated that CHCs migrate by the process of diffusion. However, due to the …

Factors regulating signal composition and task allocation in colonies of the ant Myrmicaria eumenoides
… of labour system. Cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) have long been implicated in nestmate recognition. In the African ant Myrmicaria eumenoides they also appear to vary with task. The factors regulating the task allocation (i.e. division of labour), as well as the CHC profiles (i.e. signalling) …

Investigations on mobility of carbon colloid supported nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) for groundwater remediation
… highly reactive with chlorinated hydrocarbons (CHCs) and renders them into less harmful substances. Application of nZVI instead of granular ZVI can increase rates of dechlorination of CHCs by orders of magnitude, due to its higher surface area. This approach is still difficult to apply due to …
