HERD Vol. 3, No. 2 WINTER 2010 • HEALTH ENVIRONMENTS RESEARCH & DESIGN JOURNAL 3 “Health care projects are very complex, and extensive planning is required to deliver them. Hundreds of participants, thousands of products and systems, and tens of thousands of decisions must be orchestrated on the path to nal completion” (Burgun, Sprague, Stein, & Atkins, 2008, p.119). Healthcare construction may...

GeneMill officially launched on 4th February 2016 and is an open access academic facility located at The University of Liverpool that has been established for the high-throughput construction and testing of synthetic DNA constructs. GeneMill provides end-to-end design, construction and phenotypic characterization of small to large gene constructs or genetic circuits/pathways for academic and in...

An accelerator-based BNCT (Boron Neutron Capture Therapy) facility is now under construction and the entire system including the patient treatment system will be installed in the Ibaraki Medical Center for Advanced Neutron Therapy (tentative name). Investigation of an 8-MeV proton linac and of a beryllium-based neutron production target for the BNCT is progressing. We are aiming at the design a...

In 1987, the Health Care Financing Administration proposed adding capital cost reimbursement to the prospective payment system. A data base was developed from which an index was calculated to adjust for geographic variation in construction cost. Findings from the data base, along with a description of trends in health care facility construction from 1970 through 1986, are presented. Spending (i...

machine harvesting of legumes in iran is not being done due to unsuitable variety of the plant, lack of farmers' technical knowledge and farms of small scale sizes.currently the plant is harvested by hand and carried to the thresher: yet application of these threshers is not common; they are few in number, and not very suitable for iran. this presentation shows the design and construction ...

background: boron neutron capture therapy (bnct) is a very promising treatment for patients suffering gliobastoma multiforme, an aggressive type of brain cancer, where conventional radiation therapies fail. thermal neutrons are suitable for the direct treatment of cancers which are located at near-tissue-surface deep-seated tumors need harder, epithermal neutron energy spectra. materials and me...
