Purposeful Hourly Rounding on the Medical Unit
… needs of the patient will be addressed. In a spot analysis of half the unit (MUB) the total numbers of call lights were 3362 for a 30 day period. The median calls per day were 112 which averaged out to 4.67 calls per hour. A review of what need each call light represented showed that 68.64 % …

The Immigrant-Criminality Paradox: A Macro-Level Analysis of the Relationship Between Immigration and Violent Crime in San Antonio, Texas
… immigration and violent crime, an optimized hot-spot analysis showed that changing crime patterns and changes in Mexican-immigrant concentration were generally unrelated. Furthermore, multivariate statistical analyses showed that, once conditional variables were controlled for, Mexican-immigrant …

White-tailed deer hunting and habitat use in Robert Allerton Park
… deer removal, I used Getis-Ord General Gi* hot spot analysis to compare spatial clustering between periods of no removal and removal. As expected, my results indicate that the number of deer removed annually decreased deer count in RAP. When analyzed by period, deer removal affected deer count, …

Topographic characterization of polymer materials at different length scales and the mechanistic understanding of wetting phenomena
… To characterise the soiling behaviour, an ‘spot analysis method’ was suggested, allowing wetting dynamics studies of liquids on fabrics with anisotropic surface properties. This method is applicable also to surfaces with anisotropic roughness characteristics and to porous media. The effect …
