Straight talk about EIS and DSS
1HBO & Company, Atlanta, GA.
Abstract:
The introduction of Executive Information Systems (EIS) to the health-care industry has brought confusion over the relationship between EIS and Decision Support Systems (DSS). This article describes how EIS is distinguished from DSS by its technical origins, the ways decision-makers use both systems, and the process of building and using EIS and DSS. As hospitals become more adept at using the features which EIS technology offers, the inherent differences between EIS and DSS will become even more apparent.

SDS-PAGE
A variation of gel electrophoresis, termed polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE), is commonly used for separating proteins according to their molecular size by passing them through a polyacrylamide gel. Because of the varying charges associated with amino acid side chains, PAGE can be used to separate intact proteins...
