[The reliability of Delta-T]
Background:
In Dutch mental health care there is an ongoing debate about the benefits of rom and utility of benchmarking. Opinions vary regarding the reliability and validity of performance indicators.
AIM: Investigation of the reliability of the main indicator of Foundation Benchmark Mental Health Care (sbg), Delta-T, the indicator of treatment outcome.
METHOD: The reliability was established with two indices: the intraclass correlation coefficient (icc) for the agreement between repeated assessments of average treatment outcome and the consistency in rank order of mental health care providers over time.
RESULTS: The reliability of Delta-T proved to be excellent.
CONCLUSION: Reliability is a basic requirement, but only the first step in establishing the utility of Delta-T. Further investigation of its validity is ongoing, especially on how robust treatment outcome is for bias due to instrumentation, selection, and confounding by casemix composition. Ultimately, the usefulness of treatment outcome as indicator of quality of care needs to be demonstrated in practice.

The Y-to-Delta Circuit
The initial step in analyzing a wye-to-delta circuit is to assume a positive phase sequence. These phase voltages are then utilized to calculate the line voltages that occur directly across the delta-connected load impedances. Van, Vbn, and Vcn are the phase voltages in wye, and Vab, Vbc, and Vca are the line voltages for a delta circuit. The relation between...

Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...
