Introduction: Hand hygiene (HH) is an effective way to fight infections in healthcare settings. The general purpose of our study was explore the knowledge, attitudes and practices health care providers on HH at Dapaong regional hospital (DRH). Methodology: This a prospective, descriptive cross-sectional conducted from March June 2022 DRH wards. Data were collected using questionnaire observatio...

This study was undertaken to optimize ethanol vapor application as a ripening inhibitor on whole mangoes to extend fresh-cut mango shelf life. Freshly harvested mangoes were first subjected to hot water (+HW) at 46 ◦C for 60 or 90 min to simulate quarantine heat treatments, or remained untreated (−HW). Fruit of each batch (+ or −HW) were then held at 20–25 ◦C for 4 or 7 d (D4 and D7) after the ...

Your solution to the written assignment should be submitted as a PDF file named hw 3 written.pdf in the hw 3 directory. This is important — you will be penalized 10 points if you place the file in some other folder or with some other name. The PDF file can be created however you choose. If you scan handwritten text, make sure that you use a proper scanner (not a digital camera) to create the PD...

In this paper we present a new approach to HW/SW co-design starting from a system specification using the Java programming language. A novel compiler front-end is described that extracts all the needed information of the given specification and represents it in an Object-Oriented (OO) intermediate representation graph. It exploits diffe rent levels of parallelism to permit efficient binding ont...

Safety-critical software systems call for effective analysis that ensures the correctness of the systems. HUME is a functional programming language, targeted at safety-critical systems, which supports such analysis for time and space, but does not support verification. This topic is explored by using an off-the-shelf design verification system called SPIN. The result is then empirically analysed.

Within the context of relatively new immigration and settlement in North Carolina, this ethnographic study highlights Latina mothers' narratives and conversations about a moral family education. Their narratives involved the claiming of el hogar (the home space) in the midst of the English-speaking community's attempts to define their families and childrearing practices as "problem." With a rac...

The paper addresses the problem of mapping an application speciied as a task graph on a heterogeneous architecture which contains a software processor, a dynamically reconngurable hardware coprocessor and memory elements. The problem comprises of three sub-problems: partitioning of tasks between hardware and software, assigning tasks mapped on hardware to diierent temporal segments and scheduli...

In this paper, we introduce homogeneous cosimulation method, which is suitable for modeling and simulation of systems comprising hardware (HW) and software (SW) components. In this method, a hardware description language with embedded programming capabilities (like VHDL) is used to model both HW/SW parts at any desired level of abstraction. Because of platform homogeneity, no sophisticated coor...

This paper proposes a hardware/software (HW/SW) co-design methodology for secure Public-Key Cryptosystems. Our design flow allows to assess the risk for simple side-channel attacks including Timing Analysis (TA) and Simple Power Analysis (SPA) at an early design stage. It also allows to evaluate the quality of countermeasures against these attacks. The HW/SW co-design is illustrated with an Ell...
