Historically, a number of typing methods have been evaluated for Staphylococcus aureus strain characterization. The emergence of contemporary strains of community-associated S. aureus, and the ensuing epidemic with a predominant strain type (USA300), necessitates re-evaluation of the discriminatory power of these typing methods for discerning molecular epidemiology and transmission dynamics, es...

A user’s posture at a computer workstation, especially wrist posture, is determined by the keyboard angle. Most commercially available keyboards have built-in positive slope that requires user to extend their approximately 20° when typing. The purpose of this study find negative angles minimize extension for both sitting and standing workstations. In study, we compared upper limb working postur...

PURPOSE To describe the effect of carpal tunnel release (CTR) on typing performance. METHODS We prospectively studied 27 patients undergoing open CTR. Patient demographics and clinical characteristics including nerve conduction studies, electromyography results, and duration of symptoms were collected. Before surgery and at 8 time points after surgery, ranging from 1 to 12 weeks, typing perfo...

This research aims to create an MECE (Mutually Exclusive, Collectively Exhaustive) categorisation method for typing errors. The research is grounded in theory by gathering typing error types found in both HCI and psychology literature. Empirical studies gathering typing errors from children are used to validate these error types. It is hoped that at a later date, this categorisation method can ...

Gradual typing enables both static and dynamic typing in the same program and makes it convenient to migrate code regions between the two typing disciplines. One goal of gradual typing is to provide all the benefits of static typing, such as efficiency, in statically-typed regions. However, this goal is elusive: the standard approach to mutable references imposes run-time overhead in statically...

conclusions these findings illustrated the presence and persistence of clonal groups of mrsa strains, in chicken meat in isfahan, iran, that serve as reservoirs to disseminate bacteriophage encoded enterotoxin and virulence agents. results all 116 isolated mrsa strains were discriminated into seven php types consisting of seven common types (cts) and were positive for meca gene. all isolates ha...

conclusions the inter- and intra-hospital dissemination of resistant clones is a matter of concern and is an indicator of the level of the improvement and surveillance of standard hygiene, particularly disinfection and hand washing before and after contact with patients. given the emergence of mbl-producing strains, surveillance has become an important procedure to control the transmission of r...

We study the performance and user experience of two popular mainstream text entry devices, desktop keyboards and touchscreen keyboards, for use in Virtual Reality (VR) applications. We discuss the limitations arising from limited visual feedback, and examine the efficiency of different strategies of use. We analyze a total of 24 hours of typing data in VR from 24 participants and find that novi...
