In January 2014, the Nagoya Proton Th erapy Center became the fi rst clinic in Japan to treat patients using proton spot scanning. Th e new system operates alongside two existing treatment rooms that started treating patients in February 2013 and use a passive scattering system. Th is means that the Nagoya Proton Th erapy Center now has three treatment rooms, two with rotating gantries and one ...

A new labelling system for use on medical equipment dispensers is tested. This system uses one of the objects stored in each unit of the dispenser as the 'label', by attaching it to the front of the dispenser with tape. The new system was compared to conventional written labelling by timing subjects asked to select items from two dispensers. The new system was 27% quicker than the conventional ...

The decision to utilize extracorporeal equipment is influenced by a number of factors, including clinical efficacy, cost effectiveness, and personal judgment. The purpose of this study was to report the results of a national survey that examined factors affecting perfusionists' decisions on equipment utilization. An 80-question survey was mailed to chief perfusionists at 1030 U.S. hospitals per...

Equipment quality-related data contains valuable information. Data mining technology seems to be an efficient method for extracting knowledge from large amounts of data. In this paper, a general equipment quality information based on association rule is proposed complex equipment. Due the shortcomings classical algorithms such as long running time and high memory consumption, candidate itemset ...

A certain type of engineering environmental management information system (referred to as the system) has been developed for many years, but there are not construction cases. Domestic and foreign companies enterprises have little research on this plan, knowledge base historical experience lessons is less. The design analysis scheme practical significance value. adopts large-scale joint control ...

In the present paper we give a partially negative answer to a conjecture of Ghahramani, Runde and Willis. We also discuss the derivation problem for both foundation semigroup algebras and Clifford semigroup algebras. In particular, we prove that if S is a topological Clifford semigroup for which Es is finite, then H1(M(S),M(S))={0}.

This paper studies the actual electricity case of a national university in northern Taiwan, pointing out that many schools will face certain asymmetrical information and practical problems development power systems, such as energy-savings carbon-reduction policies, collecting fees each division, reducing loss outages, expanding system capacity, maintaining distribution equipment. These are clos...
