      Program Understanding/Program Visulization Researcher Wanted
      ------------------------------------------------------------

At Siemens, a $40 billion global company, we recognize the value of 
research and development. That's why we invested approximately $5 billion 
in worldwide R&D efforts last year. Siemens Corporate Research in 
Princeton, New Jersey is an integral part of centralized corporate R&D with 
partners in Munich and Erlangen (Germany.) At our 23-acre complex, we 
perform research and basic development in software engineering, learning 
systems, imaging, and optical data processing.

In the Software Engineering Department, the Maintenance and Reverse 
Engineering Group is developing techniques to represent, analyze and 
transform program source code. Areas of interest include program 
representation, dataflow analysis, interactive browsing, navigation, 
program understanding, impact analysis and change automation. In support of 
our program, we are looking for investigators with demonstrated expertise 
in any of these areas, particularly in program understanding, program 
visualization, and related technologies. 

Our work includes joint projects with leading U.S. universities and 
institutions in addition to the opportunity to share in the resources and 
talents of the Siemens global R&D organization. Members of our technical 
staff are encouraged and expected to initiate and lead new investigations 
within our technical charter. We take a team-oriented approach to research 
projects including the implementation work necessary to demonstrate 
feasibility. Reduction to practice, transfer, publication, and interaction 
with Siemens companies worldwide are vital activities. The laboratory 
maintains a computing environment with the latest generation of 
workstations and commercial CASE tools.

Subject: Bicycle EMS teams?
Organization: University of North Texas
Date: Tue, 5 Jan 1993 06:30:18 GMT

I am presently putting together a proposal for MedStar in Fort Worth
to form a bicycle-equipped special-events group, and am looking to
exchange ideas with anyone who works with such an established group,
or who knows of someone running EMTs or medics on bicycles, either
on a special-duty or a daily assignment.

Please help me to not re-invent the (bicycle) wheel! <groan!>

What I thinking of at this time is two-person teams, carrying their
equipment in saddlebags, equipped with just enough to first-respond
to a patient until their four-wheel'ed backup gets there in 3-10 minutes.

Minimal ACLS drugs, a monitor/defib, O2 with masks and cannulas in pedi
and adult sizes, no tubes, Benadryl, Sub-Q epi, Proventil, etc.  All
split between two mountain bikes.  Two-person teams so as to have 
someone to watch your back and gear, plus man the BVM!

If you've got some experience in this area, please start punching holes
in my thoughts!  Replies via email, and a consolidation of the ideas will
be posted to the newsgroup later!

Subject:      Recipient mailbox is full. Returning message to sender

Here at West Virginia University, they have installed invisible,
indelible ink
 alarm boxes in some of the more false alarm prone residence halls &
buildings.
 Usually when a false comes in late at night, the Resident Directors
will allow
 students to enter only through certain doors, checking each of them
with a
 hand held black light scanner. The ink will show on the person who
pulled the
 alarm, & is distributed well enough that it is next to impossible to
avoid the
 spray. (It'll get on their clothing, hands, under fingernails, etc)
We've
 caught several people this way, and each levied a decent fine of
$100.00 or
 so. It has also proven to cut our false alarms by a good amount.
Another
 tactic we use is to bring in police dogs, with the intent to search
the
 building for victims. These dogs are also well known for their drug
sniffing
 capabilities. This also has seemed to work decently well.

Date: Sat, 09 Jan 1993 12:49:00 -0800

I was wondering if someone could help me find a good PARAMEDIC book. Not
the review manual, but the actual PARAMEDIC training book. I am thinking
of taking the PARAMEDIC class, but the problem is, I am really not good
at taking tests, nor am I book smart, so I would just like to read up
and try to learn some things here and there, that way when I go into the
class I will hopefully be able to go along with the class.

I am learning disabled, so this is one of the obstacles I face. I can
read something tons of times and never get the hang of it, or I can read
it a few times and get the hang of it. It really depends. So I would
like to read up on the course materials.

If anyone has any company names/addresses that they know of that publish
good PARAMEDIC books, or if there are any EMT-P's out there reading
this, if you could provide me with the book that you used in class and
tell me if you felt that it was good I would appreciate it.

I really only want to buy one book and review it, so if the book was
bad, please let me know. Likewise if you felt that it was outstanding,
do the same.

Thanks in advance,

Marty Garcia,

     The main problem I can see with using a finger tip device to measure 
blood pressure is that as soon as the patient goes into any type or 
degree of shock, you won't get a reading.  Finger tip devices are at 
best, maybe useful for people who don't know how to use a BP Cuff & 
Stethescope and have no intention of ever measuring the BP of any injured 
or sick person.  If you don't need the top of the line model, you can get 
a BP cuff and stethescope for less than the $80-$100.  That would be my 
recommendation.

Subject:      toronto 911 (fyi)

<the following was posted across USENT>


{The Toronto Star} reports that Bell Canada has applied to bring 911
service throughout Ontario (and not just certain municipalities that
elect to have the service, as is currently the case). Bell proposes
that customers be charged 30 cents per month as part of the local
monthly service, though.

70% of residences in Ontario have access to 911 at present, paid for
by municipalities involved. If approved, the extended 911 service
would be installed within five years. Municipalities would still have
to staff response centres and connections to emergency services, if
they join the 911 service.

There are occasional cases outside of 911-serviced territory where
calls to 911 are attempted, but fail. In those areas, the operator is
normally able to handle emergency calls, but the lack of universal 911
service can be dangerous for the unwary.

I'm not sure what the relationship is between affluence, intoxication, and
seizure disorders.  Nonetheless, I'll try to answer your question:

I've been told by at least one physician that alcohol may reduce one's
seizure threshold.  So a person who has a seizure disorder who drinks
may be more likely to have a seizure.

There are many different seizure meds, some of which will intensify the
effect of alcohol.

A person who is consuming alcohol (particularly to extreme) may be less
than careful about taking their meds on time, again increasing the likelihood
of a seizure.

One who is going through alcohol withdrawl, regardless of any preexisting
seizure disorder, may have a seizure as part of the withdrawl symptoms.

Treatment for ETOH intoxication in someone who might have a seizure?  BLS:
protect the airway (put the patient on their side if necessary), O2.
Seizure treatment is pretty much the same for BLS (again, protect the patient).
For ALS, follow your local protocol ... in our case the unconscious patient
would receive D50, Narcan, Thiamine.  The seizure patient would receive
an IV, and might receive valium if in status.

IJG>you all can subscribe to to transmit your messages.

Hmmm... It seems to me that this problem is really a matter of opinion.
I will agree with you that many messages are very personal in nature
but
most that seem personal do contain valuable information that many
others
find useful. I also think you should be a little more tolerant of
people
forced to use a system with many limitations rather than look down upon
us Fidonet Users. As far as personal mail goes, we can use netmail,
however this is not available to everybody since this feature is
provided by BBS'es as they see fit sometimes at a large cost. I also
think the problem might be the word 'newsgroup' as used by Internet &
Bitnet giving it a much more 'official' tone. Speaking for myself I
have
always felt this echo-newsgroup to be a forum for Firefighter, EMT's &
Paramedics to discuss issues and exchange information about emergency
services (formally or not so formally). You might also want to direct
your opinions/complaints to Chuck Sanders who is the moderator of this
group (at least on the FidoNet side) and maybe a clarification of the
rules may be posted on a more frequent basis.

Back on the topic (so this won't be construed as a personal message):
Do you folks run ALS at CMU and do you cover any areas off campus. I
attended CMU back in '85 as a summer student and didn't even know they
had an ambulance. Are you folks part of a regular 911 system or campus
only? Any information (especially in detail) would be appreciated and
used in an in-house newsletter (with your persmission). Thanks in
advance.
