Based on results from two previous studies where an excess of melanomas was found in a cohort of workers exposed to vinyl chloride (VCM), a follow up of the incidence of cancer in the same cohort of 428 workers was carried out to scrutinize whether or not the excess could be confirmed by new cases. The total number of deaths in the study group from 1953 to the end of 1993 was 132 v 141 expected...

During the last decade, valence change memory (VCM) has been extensively studied due to its promising features, such as a high endurance and fast switching times. The information is stored in resistive state (logcial '0', HRS) low '1', LRS). It can also be operated two different writing schemes, namely unipolar mode (LRS HRS are written at same voltage polarity) bipolar opposite polarities). VC...

Two studies on mortality and morbidity of workers exposed to vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) which have been carried out on behalf of the Ministry of Labour, Health and Social Affairs on Northrhine-Westphalia are reported.

Memristive valence change memory (VCM) cells show a strong non-linearity in the switching kinetics which is induced by temperature increase. In this respect, thermal crosstalk can be observed highly integrated crossbar arrays may impact resistance state of adjacent devices. Additionally, due to capacitance, VCM cell remain thermally active after pulse and thus influence conditions for possible ...

El presente estudio pretendió describir y comprender cuál es la capacidad de respuesta estatal en el abordaje violencia contra las mujeres (VCM). Se trató una investigación descriptiva, con enfoque cualitativo uso fuentes secundarias por medio entrevistas análisis documental. Para ello, primero, hicimos revisión teorías entorno a VCM. Asimismo, dimos conocer estadísticas actuales nivel nacional...

A simple and sensitive cyclodextrin-micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography (CD-MEKC) method with UV detection was developed and validated for the determination of vancomycin (VCM) in serum. The separation was achieved in 14 min at 25 °C with a fused-silica capillary column of 40.2 cm × 50 mm i.d. (effective length 30.2 cm) and a run buffer containing 25 mM borate buffer with 50 mM sod...

Standard entomological methods for evaluating the impact of vector control lack sensitivity in low-malaria-risk areas. The detection of human IgG specific to Anopheles gSG6-P1 salivary antigen reflects a direct measure of human-vector contact. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of a range of vector control measures (VCMs) in urban settings by using this biomarker approach. The study w...

OBJECTIVES To investigate types of cancer caused by occupational exposure to vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) and the temporal mortality trends of these cancers in workers from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) manufacturing factories in Taiwan, with follow-up of the cohort extended by 15 years, from 1980 to 2007. Methods A retrospective cohort study of workers from six PVC factories in Taiwan was conducted...

Control charts (CCs) are one of the main tools in Statistical Process that have been widely adopted manufacturing sectors as an effective strategy for malfunction detection throughout previous decades. Measurement errors (M.E’s) involved quality characteristic interest, which can effect CC’s performance. The authors explored impact a linear model with additive covariate M.E on multivariate cumu...

This paper presents the design, analysis, and simulated results of a three stage low power op-amp in a 0.25μm CMOS process technology. The op-amp overcomes the problems of cascading stages under low supply voltage by using modified active-feedback frequency compensation. This op-amp operates over a common-mode voltage (Vcm)from 0 to 0.6V, a supply voltage (Vdd) of 1.5V ±5%, a temperature range ...
