significant day-to-day change in the trend, and after the intervention there was no significant change in the day-to-day trend. In phase 2, individual compliance ranged from 72% to 100% with a median compliance of 92%, and a mean compliance of 91%. Nearly half (47%) of the nurses had compliance rates 95%. Compliance on room entry was 90% and on room exit 94%. Therewas no significant difference ...

migration of compounds from packaging materials is one of the most important aspects of food safety. epoxy resins have been in inner coatings of food cans since the 1960s. these resins can be produced from bisphenol-a diglycidyl ether (badge) that is also utilized as a starter. migration of potentially toxic compounds in epoxy resins used for commercial cans is a very important food safety issu...

Abstract The present study sought to investigate the migration of target bisphenols, such as BPA, BPF, BADGE, BADGE·H2O, BADGE·2H2O, and BFDGE in 102 samples several canned seafood, namely Antarctic krill, scallop, oysters, mussel, clam, mantis shrimp stored for months at different temperatures through a high-performance liquid chromatographic-fluorescence detector (HPLC-FLD) combined with micr...

To investigate the impact of nuptial coloration (the badge) on male fitness in the Swedish sand lizard (Lacerta agilis), we conducted a manipulation experiment in a natural population. Males in one group had their badges enlarged by being painted as cheaters and were compared to a control group with respect to mate acquisition, body condition and survival. Badge enlargement did not affect survi...

We investigated the interplay between confusion and in-game behavior among students using Newton’s Playground (NP), a computer game for physics. We gathered data from 48 public high school students in the Philippines. Upon analyzing quantitative field observations and interaction logs generated by NP, we found that confusion among students was negatively correlated with earning a gold badge (so...

Major types of internal can coatings used for food and beverages are made from synthetic polymers known as epoxy-based resins, mainly based on bisphenol A diglycidyl ether (BADGE). The migration components to is a concern safety. multiresidue method was developed the identification quantification six bisphenols, BADGE its derivatives, cyclo-di-BADGE in sixteen canned samples HPLC-FLD. showed ex...

(a) Upon request by the Veterans Administration in connection with a claim for compensation, or by a veteran or his or her representative, available information shall be provided by the applicable Military Service which shall include all material aspects of the radiation environment to which the veteran was exposed and shall include inhaled, ingested and neutron doses. In determining the vetera...

A difficult issue with understanding face-to-face interactions is the lack of context information. Badge-like wearable sensors, for instance, can now tell us who talks to whom, but the context of these interactions (work? social?) likely trumps any content or conversational dynamics information. In this paper we detail a study where we have automatic annotations of work context information. We ...

Using the school badge of Xi’an Jiaotong University as an example, this article aims to unravel that both literal expression and visual imagery have the ideographic function. The analysis in this article primarily utilizes the theoretical framework of the visual communication grammar, which is developed by Kress & Van Leeuwen from Halliday’s systemic functional linguistics. By analyzing the rep...
