In this article, we propose a mainly-software hardening technique to totally protect unmodified running operating systems on COTS hardware against transient errors in heavily radiation flooded environment like high altitude space. The technique is currently being implemented in a hypervisor and allows to control the upper layers of the software stack (operating system and applications). The res...

Concerns about pending retirement of nurses working in the operating room (OR) are undeniable. The nurses' work environment and level of perceived support is part of the equation of why a nurse may choose to retire or stay in the workforce. This study compares nurses' perceptions of the work environment between OR nurses and nurses who work in other type units; and compares the work environment...

While recent decades have brought substantial change to the form of the operating system interface, the power of operating system commands has remained nearly constant. Conventional commands, whether visual or textual, specify one particular action to perform. To carry out a complex task, such as reducing disk utilization, the user is forced to explicitly specify each of the necessary steps. Tr...

Change from tangible and place bound production to more flexible production of intangible information goods has challenged traditional ways of organising production. Innovative operating models have brought up also new logics of doing business, therefore one might suggest that it is not always clear which is the cause and which is the effect. The attention on general discussion is often on the ...

COLEBROOK (1946) has shown that the provision of clean air, especially in operating theatres and dressing rooms, is an essential condition for the prevention of wound infection. To achieve this it is necessary to have an adequate and controlled ventilation rate and the air introduced should be free from bacteria. Such conditions are being provided in modern operating theatres but in most hospit...

To support concurrent programming the MONADS-PC instruction set and operating system kernel provide facilities for process creation, synchronization and scheduling. These facilities are assimilated with the LEIBNIZ programming environment, appearing as module class denitions. They form a small and ecient set of primitives which, when utilized by the modular features of the LEIBNIZ programming l...

Software is a class of electronic object which is by its very nature digital, and the preservation of software is often a vital prerequisite to the preservation of other electronic objects. However, software has many characteristics that make preserving it substantially more challenging than for many other types of digital object. Software is inherently complex, normally composed of a very larg...
