This paper discusses the limitations of targeting individual behaviours through information feedback systems without considering the broader socio-technical context in which decisions are made about how people use energy and water. The paper draws on recent research conducted by the author investigating the impact of interactive in-home feedback systems on practices dependent on comfort and cle...

This paper summarizes research performed by the NEMI (National Electronics Manufacturing Initiative) Fiber Optic Signal Performance Project team. The project focused on the development of a cleanliness specification for single mode connectors. The influence of two grades of Arizona road dust on optical performance of single mode fibers is investigated. The researchers record insertion loss, ret...

When designing a cleanroom to achieve a required airborne cleanliness class or grade, such as specified in the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 14644-11, or the European Union Guidelines to Good Manufacturing Practice (EU GGMP)2, designers have a problem in deciding how much filtered air should be supplied to the cleanroom. Currently, this is not normally calculated but base...

The concept of hygiene is rooted in the relationship between cleanliness and the maintenance of good health. Since the widespread acceptance of the germ theory of disease, hygiene has become increasingly conflated with sterilization. In reviewing studies across the hygiene literature (most often hand hygiene), we found that nearly all studies of hand hygiene utilize bulk reduction in bacterial ...

Increased attention has been focused on disinfection by housekeepers, but few data are available on disinfection of equipment by nurses. We used adenosine triphosphate bioluminescence assays and aerobic cultures to assess the cleanliness of portable medical equipment disinfected by nurses between each patient use. We found that the equipment was not being disinfected as per protocol and that ed...

Not only are the quantities of emerging precision cleaning agents, equipment, and processes staggering, but assessing their level of performance relative to previous approaches presents even greater challenges. As en vironmentally harmful cleaning solvents are phased out and replaced, the quest for implementing alternative technologies raises numerous questions: l What alternative cleaning agen...

The COVID-19 pandemic, which has become an important new research topic, exerted a huge impact on airports and the antecedents of passengers’ travel decisions following its outbreak. In current study, we aimed to investigate influences four attributes airport physical environment (facility functionality, facility aesthetics, layout accessibility, cleanliness) perceived safety, satisfaction, int...
