ion Machine / Erotic – The Voyeur of Light (1994) was a temporary site specific installation in a hotel room in Sydney, Australia. A text was generated by randomly drawing from a pre-authored database of textual fragments. The security eyepiece was inverted to let people view into the room from the hallway. Expecting to be a voyeur, the participant unpredictably saw a text presented via compute...

BACKGROUND This was a head-to-head comparison of two hydrogen-peroxide-based room decontamination systems. AIM To compare the efficacy, efficiency and safety of hydrogen peroxide vapour (HPV; Clarus R, Bioquell, Andover, U.K.) and aerosolized hydrogen peroxide (aHP; SR2, Sterinis, now supplied as Glosair, Advanced Sterilization Products (ASP), Johnson & Johnson Medical Ltd, Wokingham, U.K.) r...

A magnetically shielded room (MSR) equipped with an automatic door is designed and developed to improve a convenience of operation. The MSR for biomagnetic measurements (e.g., magneto-encephalography), it required that such has high shielding performance because biomagnetism extremely smaller than environmental magnetic noises. In particular, we devise the laminar structure shield plates preven...

25 JOURNAL OF MOBILE TECHNOLOGY IN MEDICINE VOL. 6 ISSUE 3 DECEMBER 2017 Background: In production environments, a countdown timer is used to report the status of the planned start time and to provide both a communication mechanism and an accountability aid. It has been used in the airline industry to remind all personnel of the remaining time until when the aircraft door should be closed. This...

Abstract BACKGROUND Stroke is common in patients with malignancy, but cancer treatment have contraindications to intravenous (IV) tissue plasminogen activator (tPA). Advancements endovascular therapy (EVT) has expanded options for acute stroke management . Memorial Sloan Kettering (MSK) a center without public emergency room. Acute occurs inpatient or urgent care (UCC). We determined need rapid...

BACKGROUND Cervical laminoplasty, utilizing different spacers to ''keep the door open,'' is the gold standard in Japan for treating ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) and cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM). Here, we utilized a novel titanium ''basket'' spacer (Laminoplasty Basket: L-Basket; Ammtec, Tokyo) to perform open door cervical laminoplasty to keep the "door op...

We have tried and developed a whiteboard-type message board on the network and developed a message board system on WWW for asynchronous communication, which provides users with simple tools for drawing. On this board, any message can be written by hand, making use of mouse and tablets. Letters are coded as a collection of lines. We call this type of system an "on-door" communication system, and...

PERSONNEL HAZARDS FROM MEDICAL ELECTRON ACCELERATOR PHOTONEUTRONS" R. C. McCall, T. M. Jenkins, R. A. Shore and P. D. LaRiviere+ Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, CA, U.S.A. and Varian Associates? INTRODUCTION For medical accelerators, neutron penetration through the room entry door is the major personnel hazard. Most therapy accelerator rooms are designed with at least a rudimentary maze to ...

A study was undertaken to examine the effect of lining high-energy linear accelerator mazes with neutron-moderating materials in order to reduce scattered neutron dose at the accelerator room door. Polyethylene alone reduced neutron dose by no more than 27% and did not significantly reduce gamma ray dose. Polyethylene combined with flexboron panels reduced neutron dose by 50% at most, reducing ...

This study evaluated the magnitude and distribution of acute gastrointestinal illness (GI) in Gálvez, Argentina, and assessed the outcome of a seven-day versus 30-day recall period in survey methodology. A cross-sectional population survey, with either a seven-day or a 30-day retrospective recall period, was conducted through door-to-door visits to randomly-selected residents during the 'high' ...
