Biomedical informatics is becoming increasingly important as healthcare organizations worldwide implement biomedical informatics applications as part of their continued effort to improve the effectiveness of patient care and the efficiency of service delivery. This book presents the full papers delivered at the 2013 International Conference on Informatics, Management and Technology in Healthcare (ICIMTH 2013), held in Athens, Greece, in July 2013. The scope of biomedical informatics is very broad, including a number of technologies such as imaging, sensors, biomedical equipment and even organ transplant technology. The 90 papers included here examine research and applications outcomes - from cell to population - in these diverse fields, and because management and organizational issues play an important role in the implementation phase of biomedical informatics applications, these topics are also covered as an integral part of the theme. The book will be of interest to all those whose work involves the development and use of biomedical informatics applications.

The study participants were four international teaching associates and 17 undergraduate students at one of the universities in the Middle Atlantic region. Data was collected through one-on-one interviews, class observations, and each participant's narratives, which were analyzed qualitatively.
The bureaucratic position was adapted from the efficiency of industry which used
reward and punishment with their labor force to increase production and
efficiency (Kliebard, 1986). In this industrial efficiency model, students were

The use of large, computerized bodies of text for linguistic analysis and description has emerged in recent years as one of the most significant and rapidly-developing fields of activity in the study of language. This book provides a comprehensive introduction and guide to Corpus Linguistics. All aspects of the field are explored, from the various types of electronic corpora that are available to instructions on how to design and compile a corpus. Graeme Kennedy surveys the development of corpora for use in linguistic research, looking back to the pre-electronic age as well as to the massive growth of computer corpora in the electronic age.
