PURPOSE OF STUDY The authors determined short-term effects of a home environmental intervention on self-efficacy and upset in caregivers and daily function of dementia patients. They also determined if treatment effect varied by caregiver gender, race, and relationship to patient. DESIGN AND METHODS Families (N = 171) of dementia patients were randomized to intervention or usual care control ...

Ultrafine-grained die-upset Nd-Fe-B magnets are of importance because they provide a wide researching space to redesign the textured structures. Here is presented a route to obtain a new die-upset magnet with substantially improved magnetic properties. After experiencing the optimized heat treatment, both the coercivity and remanent magnetization of the Dy-Cu press injected magnets increased su...

Background: Seizure disorders are common in infants and children. Cardiac dysrhythmias may manifest clinically as seizure disorders which, if missed, may cause serious consequences. Objective: To investigate the electrocardiogram, conduction and rhythm disturbances in a group of patients in pediatric age group clinically presenting as various types of seizures Methods: We studied electrocardiog...

Three layout-hardened Dual Interlocked Storage Cell (DICE) D Flip-Flops (DFFs) were designed and manufactured based on an advanced 28 nm planar technology. The systematic vertical tilt heavy ion irradiations demonstrated that the DICE structure contributes to radiation tolerance. However, it is hard achieve immunity from a Single Event Upset (SEU), even when ~3-µm well isolation utilized. SEU m...

The radiation effects in electronic parts are called single-event effects, which deemed to be critical for space missions. This paper presents the Single Event Upsets that were observed an onboard memory device of Low Earth Orbit “Flying Laptop” satellite mission during its in-orbit operation. carefully mapped on orbital itself and their root causes investigated together with rates occurrence. ...
