Hospital phones
Free telephones for local calls are located throughout the hospital and in each patient room. For local calls outside the hospital, press "9" before dialing the number. For long-distance calls, dial "0" for our operator. Or to directly access your long-distance company, dial the following: Qwest *597; AT&T *598; MCI *599.
The effort to determine the year of manufacture of a rifle based on its serial number is enormous for us. Therefore, we can only pass on such information to authorities or for a fee. However, every rifle owner can draw his own conclusions about the approximate age of his rifle based on the government proof mark on the barrel. The years listed below are approximations and reflect the common practice that was primarily used during the period in question. However, exceptions to this are possible. For example, it is quite possible that even after 1968 only the year is applied, but not a letter code.

CU Anschutz websites also are getting a new domain: www.cuanschutz.edu. (They were formerly housed under www.ucdenver.edu.) The transition already is complete for some CU Anschutz websites, and efforts for others will continue through summer 2020. For more information, please see the overall CMS transition schedule.
When you have finished creating your database or survey, you will submit a request to the REDCap Administrator to move the database to Production status to begin collecting data. At this point you will need to supply your study IRB approval number. The online tutorials consist of ten short videos and a quiz, after which you receive instructions on setting up your REDCap account. This tutorial takes about two hours and does not all have to be done in one session. To leave the tutorial and finish later, simply click the "Save and return later" button.
If your categorical variable has numeric response options, be sure to assign a value that is the same number to avoid confusion in analysis. For example, if the question is "How many times did you ....", and the options are 0,1,2,3,4,5, you should assign values of 0-5 (note: you cannot use the auto-assign feature of REDCap because it will start with 1). When should I use the dropdown field type? Use dropdown field types instead of radio buttons for categorical variables on your data entry forms. REDCap allows you to type the first character of a label to select that option in a dropdown, which is much easier than having to individually select each radio button with your mouse. How do I tell the difference between a radio and checkbox field? There is a visual cue to tell you whether a field is a radio button (single option) or a checkbox (choose all that apply). Radio buttons are round, checkboxes are square. How do I format branching logic or a calculation with checkbox fields? Checkbox, or "choose all that apply", fields are coded slightly differently from other categorical fields, such as radio or dropdown. In those, each option is set to equal a unique value, e.g. 1=red, 2=blue, 3=green. Because any or all of the checkbox field options can be selected, each option is treated as a separate field that is either checked or unchecked (coded 1 or 0). In your exported dataset, you will see that each option has become a separate variable with the number of the option as part of the variable name, e.g. color(1), color(2), color(3). When using options from a checkbox field in a calculation or in branching logic, instead of writing "color = 3", for example, you need to write "color(3)=1", meaning that option 3 of the variable "color" has been selected.
To take a simple example, say I have column A with the numbers 1-16 listed, sorted in ascending order: (1,2,3,...); and column B which lists names of widgets; and I want to find a given widget by searching the numbers in column A. Simple enough: =SEARCH(number;A1:A16;B1:B16). But suppose my list contains 1600 numbers, sorted, and I need the widget name associated with entry 992. 'Search' would have to go through 992 iterations to reach the desired value. A binary search, a la java, would cut that down to maybe 10 iterations. But can that be done?
It turns out that Excel, Libreoffice Calc, etc., implement a binary search algorithm within a number of 'functions', including LOOKUP, VLOOKUP, XLOOKUP. Thus, my spreadsheet, as constructed (with VLOOKUP set to approximate), already implements a binary search.
