Introduction: Cloud Computing Technology (CCT) can exist in many forms and is fundamentally a complex system-of-systems. In PART II of this report, we proved theoretically through a fault tree analysis that users of cloud computing systems are more at risk than users of non-cloud computing systems, given similar system configurations. In PART III, we demonstrate the above conclusion with a phys...

Mini-tablets are suitable for paediatric as well geriatric use since they may provide flexible and accurate dosing administration. Due to the minute tablet size, there is a need new standardized quality evaluation procedures conventional techniques have be adopted. The main objective of study was evaluate different dissolution orally disintegrating mini-tablets. Dissolution tests using mini-pad...

We describe a test method for lattice-gas automata of the type introduced by Fr isch , Hasslacher , and P omeau. The test met hod consist s of inserting test patterns into the initial state of the auto maton and using a graphics display to detect errors. The test pattern s are care fully construct ed limit cycles tha t are disrupted by err ors occurr ing at any level of t he simulator system. T...

Nurse staffing and scheduling is a major health human resource issue currently facing healthcare organizations. To increase the capacity of healthcare organizations to address a variety of issues related to nurse staffing and scheduling, a mult-isite collaborative project was undertaken. The primary focus of this project was

Within the neurosciences it is natural to observe variability across time in dynamics of an underlying brain process. Wavelets are essential analysing signals because, even within a single trial, exhibit nonstationary behaviour. However, neurological generated experiment may also potentially evolution trials (replicates), for identical stimuli. As neurologists consider localised spectra be most...

INTRODUCTION The simple bedside method for sampling undiluted distal pulmonary edema fluid through a normal suction catheter (s-Cath) has been experimentally and clinically validated. However, there are no data comparing non-bronchoscopic bronchoalveolar lavage (mini-BAL) and s-Cath for assessing lung inflammation in acute hypoxaemic respiratory failure. We designed a prospective study in two g...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to establish the level of correlation between the suicide item contained within the Core Symptom Index (CSI), and the presence of suicidal thoughts as assessed by the Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI) and the Cornell Scale of Depression in Dementia (CSDD). PATIENTS AND METHODS Seventy elderly residents in a long term care facility were incl...

conclusions the inhibition of mini-puberty period in male rats was demonstrated to have an effect on their testicular function to some extent. results serum t and lh levels peaked at two hours after birth, while fsh peaked at hour 0, and bilateral testicular weight peaked at four hours after birth. the rats that underwent ether inhalation five minutes after birth had markedly reduced serum horm...
