More Observations about the NICU

"Less is more": decreasing antibiotic days in the NICU.

Decreasing antibiotic days, mortality, and sepsis-related mortality are critical goals for our patients in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). In a prospective design, this small study in a single NICU evaluated the implementation of diagnostic criteria for early-onset sepsis (EOS) and lateonset sepsis (LOS), focused on stopping antibiotics early if hematologic and CRP tests were within th...

More about Thermosyphone Rankine Cycle Performance Enhancement (RESEARCH NOTE)

The heat pipe applications have been coupled with the renewable energy such as solar energy, waste heat and geothermal energy. Thermosyphon Rankine Cycle (TRC) is a vertical wickless heat pipe engine. In this engine, the turbine is installed between the insulated section and a condenser section of thermosyphon. The mechanical energy developed by the turbine can be converted to electricity, by d...

Bertrand’s Paradox Revisited: More Lessons about that Ambiguous Word, Random

The Bertrand paradox question is: “Consider a unit-radius circle for which the length of a side of an inscribed equilateral triangle equals 3 . Determine the probability that the length of a ‘random’ chord of a unit-radius circle has length greater than 3 .” Bertrand derived three different ‘correct’ answers, the correctness depending on interpretation of the word, random. Here we employ geomet...

More about measures and Jacobians of singular random matrices

In this work are studied the Jacobians of certain singular transformations and the corresponding measures which support the jacobian computations.
