A programme of research into conflict (e.g. violence, absconding, medication refusal) and containment (e.g. seclusion, special observation, physical restraint) in inpatient psychiatry has been under way at City University, London, UK, for the past 10 years. Recent research findings, plus the challenges posed by ongoing projects, have made apparent the need for greater clarity about the overarch...

Urban containment policies, including urban growth boundaries, urban service boundaries and greenbelts, have been extensively discussed worldwide for managing urban growth. This paper focuses on the issues associated with supporting an urban containment plan and its application in China using a planning support system. The background is that the urban containment plan has been enacted as a new ...

Semantic caches, originally proposed for client-server database systems, are being recently deployed to accelerate the serving of dynamic web content by transparently caching data on edge servers. Such caches require fast query containment tests to determine if a new query is contained in the results of cached queries. Query containment checking algorithms have been studied in the context of qu...

Humid conditions are expected in the containment during severe LWR accidents. In these conditions steam can condense on the containment structures and on existing aerosol particles or new particles may be formed by water vapor nucleation. In this paper the relative importance of each of these phenomena is evaluated. A mechanistic approach (NAUA-HYGRDS code) by solving the aerosol General Dynami...

Live imaging of animals infected with pathogenic microbes poses a contamination risk to equipment, personnel and other animals. A Caliper animal isolation chamber designed for the IVIS(®) Spectrum imaging system was tested as a containment device for mice infected with microbes assigned to animal biosafety level-3 (ABSL-3). A testing protocol was developed by adapting two published standards to...

Keywords: recombinant DNA crops (plants or organisms), transgenic crops (or plants), genetically modified organisms (GMO), biological containment level (B1 and B2), physical containment level (P1, P2, P3 and P4), experiments using large scale culture

Traditional information security modelling approaches often focus on containment of assets within boundaries. Due to what is called de-perimeterisation, such boundaries, for example in the form of clearly separated company networks, disappear. This paper argues that in a deperimeterised situation a focus on containment in security modelling is ineffective. Most importantly, the tree structure i...

A desired property of large distributed systems is self adaptability against the faults that occur more frequently as the size of the distributed system grows. Self-stabilizing protocols provide autonomous recovery from finite number of transient faults. Fault-containing selfstabilizing protocols promise not only self-stabilization but also containment of faults (quick recovery and small effect...

In the 2002 case Simat Corp v. Arizona Health Care Containment System, the Arizona Supreme Court ruled that the Arizona Health Care Containment System must pay for abortions when they are necessary to preserve the health of pregnant women in the system. In the case, the Court ruled that the Arizona Revised Statutes 35-196.02 and the Arizona Health Care Containment System (AHCCCS) policies, whic...
