“Nothing Happens Unless Someone Buys Something”… Identifying and Responding to Your Customers' Communication Style
William J. Winston in Professional Practice in Health Care Marketing, 2012
The following are descriptions of the four quadrants. An advocating person is aggressive with feeling, promotes ideas and self, and is very idea-oriented. That person lives for today— the idea that's hot today could be ice cold tomorrow. Next, a controlling - style person—you might think of some CEO's that you've run across maybe—is very structured, very competitive; when you walk in the door, there is no small talk—it's: “let's get to business, I've only got twenty minutes to see you.” An analyzing-style person is patient, thorough, task-oriented; has to have all the data to support the product. Let's say you're talking about your product; he's not going to jump on it right away, he's going to wait until he has all of his facts. And the facilitating person is warm and relaxed and people-oriented; likes to get to know you as a friend really before he or she will do business—it has to be on a personal level.
Applications of Health Data
Disa Lee Choun, Anca Petre in Digital Health and Patient Data, 2023
It is important to state that despite the issues on data access, having the right data, data diversity, and unbiased data, we need to be creative and find ways to make data interoperable. Also, we need to have robust processes to manage the power of data as explained in Chapter 3 (big data). Christian et al.5 explains that the advances in technology and computational sophistication will provide advances in healthcare. They split this into four quadrants: 1) Diagnostics (e.g. point-of-care diagnostics); 2) Treatment (e.g. telehealth services); 3) Public health (e.g. disease and health surveillance); and 4) Research (e.g. remote or decentralized clinical trials). Social media’s impact in healthcare has also significantly grown and while there have been increases in published research using social media, benefits are not clear, and policies still need to be put in place. Despite all of this growth in digital health, the collective understanding of how these components, devices, and technologies work still remains fragmented and data is still disparate.
Quality Assurance of Nuclear Medicine Systems

Examples:Figure 23.7 (left) shows how four line sources can be used to calculate spatial resolution in x and y directions. Placing the sources at a distance of 10 cm allows the pixel size to be calculated by determining the distance in pixels between the maximum of the two profiles. The fit of Gaussian curves to the line sources of several rows/columns allows the calculation of FWHM/FWTM in pixels and then millimetres. Figure 23.7 (right) shows the output from a bar phantom acquisition. Typically, the number of bar quadrants visible gives a qualitative assessment of spatial resolution, which can be followed over time, although regions in these quadrants can be used to determine the Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) and then the spatial resolution [10]. The lines in the quadrant can also be used to visually assess spatial linearity.
Measuring sport performances under pressure by classification trees with application to basketball shooting

We define four quadrants. The first quadrant includes the players that perform better than the average in both 2-point and 3-point shots. We recommend managers and coaches to let handle the ball to these players in the crucial moments of the game. A second quadrant includes the players that perform lower than the average in both 2-point and 3-point shots. Players here are often on their first year in the league (the so-called rookies). In case those players are not rookies, the manager should think about trade those players or give them less shooting responsibility. The third and the fourth quadrants help the staff to detect those players that should handle the ball, respectively, when the playing strategy opts for a 2-point shot or when the playing strategy opts for a 3-point shot.
Access to all components of scanned mathematical documents by vision-impaired students

In order to address accessibility issues of graphs of mathematical functions, an application was developed by this research that works based on detecting, extracting, and categorizing important information from such graphs. The application generates an alternative text description, which contains all concepts and implicit information in a graph. The proposed method in this research provides an opportunity for vision-impaired to listen passively to extracted classified data from graphs using TTS, and actively interact with it by navigating through classified information and digitized data tables without requiring another device or peripheral. The framework of a graph of mathematical functions contains two crossed axes which meet at the origin. The axes divide the plane into four quadrants. Scaled values are increased from left to right on the horizontal axis, and from down to up on the vertical axis. In addition, a data table is a table with two columns to show dependent variable values for each independent variable value. Generally, data tables are converted to graphs for better understanding of the relationship between the vertical and horizontal values (visualization). Since vision-impaired students are not able to use visual components such as graphs, the graph must be converted into a data table using digitization.
Innervation of the lumbrical and interosseous muscles in hand: analysis of distribution of nerve fascicles and quantification of their surface projections
Published in Journal of Plastic Surgery and Hand Surgery, 2022
Based on the surface landmarks, a quadrant that covers the whole palm was set in the Picture Archiving and Communication System. First, a line (Y’) was drawn perpendicular to the distal wrist crease, which extended from the distal wrist crease to the middle point of the proximal middle finger crease. It should be noted that the creases exhibit a slight curvature; however, a best fitting straight line which approximates the corresponding crease can be drawn to minimize bias. Then a line segment (Y) that is equal and parallel to the Y’ and passes through the point P was drawn. On the same image, a line (X’) was drawn perpendicular to the Y, extending from the P to the ulnar border of the palm. Finally, a line segment (X) that is equal and parallel to the X’ and superimposed on the distal wrist crease was drawn. Based on the X and Y, the quadrant was completed in which the X and Y were referred to as the X-axis and Y-axis, respectively (Figure 2(B)). The lengths of the X and Y were equal to the width and length of the palm, respectively.
