Thermal washer-disinfectors represent a technology that brought about great advantages such as, establishment of protocols, standard operating procedures, reduction in occupational risk of a biological and environmental nature. The efficacy of the cleaning and disinfection obtained by automatic washer disinfectors machines in running programs with different times and temperatures determined by ...

Non Linear M ixed Ef fects Model (NONMEM) data set is w idely used for pharmacokinetics (PK) / pharmacodynamics (PD) modeling and simulation, w hich studies the drug concentration in the body over time (measured in terms of absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion [ADME]) and the body’s pharmacological response to a drug (measured in terms of adverse events [AE] and eff icacies). In ...

BACKGROUND In recent years, cleaning has been identified as an occupational risk because of an increased incidence of reported respiratory effects, such as asthma and asthma-like symptoms among cleaning workers. Due to the lack of systematic occupational hygiene analyses and workplace exposure data, it is not clear which cleaning-related exposures induce or aggravate asthma and other respirator...

The paper proposes a concept for a knowledge representation approach that consists of the knowledge structure in the form of ontology, knowledge base in the form of rules and environment model in the form of objects in the environment. The approach is developed for domains where the main problem is to choose the most appropriate capability for a particular action. Both the agents’ knowledge and...

Resting state fMRI (rfMRI) is gaining in popularity, being easy to acquire and with promising clinical applications. However, rfMRI studies, especially those involving clinical groups, still lack reproducibility, largely due to the different analysis settings. This is particularly important for the development of imaging biomarkers. The aim of this work was to evaluate the reproducibility of ou...

improving cleaning and disinfection performance must be taken into account for prevention and control of infection. health care settings are engaged in a battle against healthcare associated infection (hais). the importance of infection prevention and control is increasing due to rapidly developing strains of multi-drug resistant organisms (mdros) that can result in serious illness and even dea...

The process cleaning rate theorem holds that the static rate (chemical forces) plus the dynamic cleaning rate (mechanical forces) equals the process cleaning rate. New lead-free flux residues result from more demanding soldering drivers created by high soldering temperature, surface tension effects, and miniaturization. Lead-Free flux compositions require thermal stability, resistance against b...

ceutical manufacturing that processing equipment be cleaned using validated procedures to avoid cross contamination from material remaining from a previously manufactured product (1–3). Potential residues remaining on the surfaces of equipment following processing steps (fermentation, for example) include, in addition to the product itself, a multitude of organic cellular components such as nuc...

Data cleaning is, in fact, a lively subject that has played an important part in the history of data management and data analytics, and it still is undergoing rapid development. Moreover, data cleaning is considered as a main challenge in the era of big data, due to the increasing volume, velocity and variety of data in many applications. This paper aims to provide an overview of recent work in...
