Methods During general anaesthesia exposure to a number of different agents is common. In addition, anti-inflammatory drugs, antiemetics, antacids, antibiotics and analgesics may be used, and all may elicit reactions. Follow up is recommended to include serum tryptase, specific IgE, skin prick test (SPT), intradermal tests (IDT), basophil activation test (BAT) and provocations. We present a cas...

This paper discusses the use of three published models, the Technology acceptance model (TAM), Rogers diffusion of Innovation theory (IDT), and the Triandis theory of interpersonal behaviour (TIB), and attempts to bring them together in an integrated model to better predict the adoption of new information and communication technologies by a cohort of health professionals within UK primary care ...

Abstract Acoustofluidic devices based on surface acoustic waves (SAWs) have been widely applied in biomedical research for the manipulation and separation of cells. In this work, we develop an accessible manufacturing process to fabricate acoustofluidic device consisting a SAW interdigital transducer (IDT) polydimethylsiloxane microchannel. The IDT is manufactured using flexible printed circuit...

Batteryless, wireless, and packageless acoustic wave sensors are particularly desirable for harsh high-temperature environments. In this letter, an sensor based on a lithium niobate (Y + 128° cut, abbreviated LN-Y128) substrate with buried platinum interdigital transducer (IDT) in aluminum nitride (AlN) overlayer is investigated. Previously, it was demonstrated theoretically that due to the spe...

In the application of Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) methods and related technologies, transducer used for electroacoustic conversion has gradually become a key component SHM systems because its unique function transmitting structural safety information. By comparing analyzing health large-scale structures, theories based on ultrasonic guided waves are studied. The technologies research sta...

Through e-learning students are encouraged to learn from their homes individually and not in groups as traditional learning where there classes study groups. This gives the opportunity organize time according preferences they attend individual online courses homes. They also have freedom choose that find useful for them needs. aims explore examine factors influence behavioral intention of use e...

Passive remote wireless sensing employing properties of the surface acoustic wave (SAW) has gained currency during a couple of decades to measure different physical quantities such as temperature, force (pressure, torque, and stress), velocity, direction of motion, etc. with a resolution of about 1% [1]. The basic principle utilized in such a technique combines advantages of the precise piezoel...
