Quantification and characterisation of work done by intensive care doctors outside the ICU

[EICS (Extended Intensive Care Service): looking outside the ICU].

Early warning systems (EWS) identify patients at risk with a view to improving morbidity and mortality rates using early therapeutic and transfer actions. We have recently implemented an EWS that focuses on two main aspects: the guidance of care after discharge from the ICU, and recognition of the onset of deteriorating health among adult patients in general wards through physiologically based ...

EICS (Extended Intensive Care Service): Looking outside the ICU

Bronchoscopy in the intensive care unit (ICU).

The diagnostic and therapeutic utility of flexible fibreoptic bronchoscopy (FFB), coupled with its minimal morbidity and mortality, have led to its increasing use in the care of the critically ill patients. FFB allows direct inspection of the upper and lower airway, and facilitates the diagnosis and management of a variety of pulmonary disorders. Patients in the intensive care unit are predispo...

Declarativeness: the work done by something else

Being declarative means that we do computer programming on higher levels of abstraction. This vague definition identifies declarativeness with the act of ignoring details, but it is a special case of abstraction. The unspecified part is some computational work. Automating computations and offloading mental processing are essentially the same concept, which is fundamental for both computational ...

control of the optical properties of nanoparticles by laser fields

در این پایان نامه، درهمتنیدگی بین یک سیستم نقطه کوانتومی دوگانه(مولکول نقطه کوانتومی) و میدان مورد مطالعه قرار گرفته است. از آنتروپی ون نیومن به عنوان ابزاری برای بررسی درهمتنیدگی بین اتم و میدان استفاده شده و تاثیر پارامترهای مختلف، نظیر تونل زنی(که توسط تغییر ولتاژ ایجاد می شود)، شدت میدان و نسبت دو گسیل خودبخودی بر رفتار درجه درهمتنیدگی سیستم بررسی شده اشت.با تغییر هر یک از این پارامترها، در...
