BACKGROUND In order to develop clinical judgement, nurses should be encouraged to become analytical and critical thinkers. Development of a portfolio of evidence (PoE) of reflection on clinical experiences is one of the strategies that can be used to enhance analytical and critical thinking amongst nursing students. Students' perceptions of the process are important in order to encourage their ...

The mechanical properties of nanocomposites based on poly lactic acid/polyolefin elastomer (PLA/POE) were investigated. compounds made using an internal mixer. POE in two levels at 10–20 wt.% and nano fillers, including multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) graphene nano-platelets (GnPs) 1, 2, 3 levels, added to the PLA. Impact tensile tests conducted extract impact properties, respectively. di...

The objective of this paper was to study the performance of household refrigerator having both air and water-cooled condenser, with 0.06% mass fraction CuO nanoparticle-lubricant mixture and different types of compressor oils. The experiment was done using HFC134a as the refrigerant, CuO nanoparticles, Polyol-ester oil (POE) oil which is used as the conventional lubricant in the household refri...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this paper is to examine the adequacy of the concept of Physician Order Entry (POE) as a model for clinical systems, and to suggest an alternative understanding of the order creation and communication process. METHODS The study is based on an interpretative analysis of POE as a model for clinical systems and the results of our recent fieldwork. RESULTS Observations fro...

Herein, a simple melt-blending method is utilized to disperse of halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) in polystyrene/polyolefin elastomer (PS/POE) blends. Based on morphological studies, the PS/POE/HNT nanocomposite containing up 3 phr HNTs shows excellent nanofiller dispersion, while those filled with 5 exhibit aggregation. To overcome aggregation issue, polypropylene-grafted-maleic anhydride (PP-g-MA)...

Overview: It is well known that the number of schedules (interleavings) of a concurrent program grows exponentially with the number of processes. Our previous work has demonstrated the advantages of an MPI-specific dynamic partial order reduction (DPOR, [5]) algorithm called POE in a tool called ISP [1,2,3] in dramatically reducing the number of interleavings during formal dynamic verification....

This past year has presented our organization with a series of challenges. However, members have responded ingenuity and flexibility so that we could continue the work mission: to support scholarly informal exchange information on life, works, times, influence Edgar Allan Poe.First, I’m pleased announce 2020 American Literature Association presenters were able postpone their presentations joine...

It is possible to combine multiple latent-variable models of the same data by multiplying their probability distributions together and then renormalizing. This way of combining individual "expert" models makes it hard to generate samples from the combined model but easy to infer the values of the latent variables of each expert, because the combination rule ensures that the latent variables of ...
