background: positive attitude leads to a more successfully implementation of a change. we investigated the effect of attitudes of stakeholders toward a program on their prioritization of the program components for selecting the key question of a theory-driven evaluation with concept mapping method. materials and methods: during a brainstorming session, stated statements defined the program comp...

It is shown that solvable mixed spin ladder models can be constructed from su(N) permutators. Heisenberg rung interactions appear as chemical potential terms in the Bethe Ansatz solution. Explicit examples given are a mixed spin-1 2 spin-1 ladder, a mixed spin-1 2 spin-3 2 ladder and a spin-1 ladder with biquadratic interactions.

Seueral techniquesare available for implementingascalardigitaffilter using lattice and ladder structures which are known to yield low noise realizations. Ofthese, the lattice and ladder structures proposed by Gray and Markel have the advantage of being interimlly scaled Block implementation of a scalar digitalfilteroflers a number of advantages. Inthis pnpet, new algorithms to realize block dig...

Ladder inclined angle is a critical factor that could lead to a slip at the base of portable straight ladders, a major cause of falls from heights. Despite several methods established to help workers achieve the recommended 75.5° angle for ladder set-up, it remains unclear if these methods are used in practice. This study explored ladder set-up behaviours in a field environment. Professional in...

A ladder lottery, known as the “Amidakuji” in Japan, is a common way to choose an assignment randomly. Formally, a ladder lottery of a permutation π = (p1, p2, . . . , pn) is a network with n vertical lines (lines for short) and many horizontal lines (bars for short) as follows (see Fig. 1). The i-th line from the left is called line i. The top ends of the n lines correspond to π. The bottom en...

We designed a protein ladder (hereafter referred to as "Mega-tag") that contains 14 of the most commonly used epitope tags fused to molecular weight markers. The Mega-tag ladder can be simultaneously visualized when anti-tag antibodies are used to detect epitope-tagged recombinant proteins in Western blots. The logarithm of molecular weights and relative mobility of the Mega-tag protein ladder ...

After 20 years of a static clinical ladder program at our institution, the clinical ladder program was completely redesigned using a staff nurse-led shared governance structure to re-envision the program as an innovative, staff leadership model to meet our organizational nursing mission and vision strategic plans around retention and professional development. The literature demonstrated a lack ...

Absrracr-The low sensitivity property of lossless discrete integrator (LDI) low-pass ladder filters is shown to be preserved in lossless discrete differentiator (LDD) high-pass ladder filters 111. The exact design method for LDI ladder filters given in [Z] is further developed by introducing a set of closed-form design formulas for digital ah-pole Chebyshev transfer functions. A new technique f...
