Technical Specs to Consider DPI When it comes to your mouse, the sensitivity of the mouse is a vital component since it will determine how your cursor will go, too. The Dots per Inch or simply called DPI measures the sensitivity of your gaming mouse. If the DPI is too low, you may find yourself to be easily left behind during a game. However, if your DPI is overly sensitive, your cursor may begin to fly away even with the slightest movement. You should look for a gaming mouse with sufficient…

I attend clinical at St. John’s Hospital. This facility does participate in the NDNQI benchmarking process. “Nursing-sensitive indicators identify structures of care and care processes, both of which in turn influence care outcomes” (Montalvo, 2007, p. 2).

History In the earliest cycling days there were many head injuries. As more roads were paved the likelihood of head injuries increased. In the 1800’s high-wheel users in clubs realized head injuries were a problem so they started wearing pith helmets.
