Degraded modes of operation occur when technological systems fail to meet the levels of service that are expected by staff and managers. Over time, operators develop ‘work arounds’ that help them to cope with these degraded modes. This has led to a culture of ‘making do’ where co-workers try their best to maintain service provision in spite of system failures. The extent to which operators will...

The heat-seal strength and failure modes of laminated films with Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) and Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) as the sealant materials were investigated. Heat-seal strength increases with platen temperature for all samples. The maximum achievable heat-seal strength for laminated film using LDPE and LLDPE as sealant material is 0.598 N/mm and 4.02 N/mm, respectivel...

background and objectives: essential oils are complex mixtures containing compounds of several different functional- group classes. depending on the structure, we can distinguish monoterpenes, phenylpropanes, and other components. here in this study two monoterpene compounds of essential oils, i.e. β-pinene and limonene were examined for their antiviral activity against herpes simplex virus typ...

Background—The mode of death has been well characterized in patients with heart failure and a reduced ejection fraction; however, less is known about the mode of death in patients with heart failure and a preserved ejection fraction (HFPEF). The purpose of this study was to examine the mode of death in patients with HFPEF enrolled in the Irbesartan in Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fract...
