Effective Uses of Electrolytic Water

Endoscope disinfection using acidic electrolytic water.

BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS The aim of the present study was to evaluate a new endoscope disinfector (WM-1) that uses acidic electrolytic water (AEW). MATERIALS AND METHODS AEW was produced by electrolysis of a 0.05% NaCl-water mixture, with a redox potential greater than 1000 mV and a pH lower than 2.7. In the first study, an endoscope artificially contaminated with 15 species of bacteria and ...

2000: Effective Uses of Business Process Simulation

This paper evaluates a number of tools for the redesign of processes through the use of two case studies based in the UK Police Service. There is a particular emphasis on the use of Business Process Simulation in conjunction with Activity Based Costing and Activity Based Budgeting within the context of a Business Process Reengineering approach. The use of a balanced scorecard and marking guide ...

The Many Uses of Chiral Effective Theories

I review basic concepts of chiral effective field theories guided by an historical perspective: from the first ideas to the merging with other effective frameworks, and to the interplay with lattice field theory. The impact of recent theoretical developments on phenomenological predictions is reviewed with attention for rare decays, and charm physics. I conclude with a critical look at future a...

Uses and abuses of effective Lagrangians.

Motivated by past and recent analyses we critically reexamine the use of effective la-grangians in the literature to constrain new physics and to determine the 'physics reach' of future experiments. We demonstrate that many calculations, such as those involving anomalous trilinear gauge-boson couplings, either considerably overestimate loop-induced effects, or give ambiguous answers. The source...
