BACKGROUND Managing "spaghetti syndrome," the tangle of therapeutic cables, tubes, and cords at patients' bedsides, can be challenging. OBJECTIVES To assess nurses' perceptions of the effectiveness of a novel banding device in management of spaghetti syndrome. METHODS A simple color-coded elastomeric banding strap with ribbed flaps was attached to bed rails of adult critical care patients t...

in biaxially strained p-mosfet with si channel, formation of a parasitic parallel channel due to misalignment of energy bands degrades device performance by increasing off-state current. in this paper a new approach has been introduced to eliminate this parasitic channel by increasing the dopant concentration of virtual substrate up to . using simulation the impact of this method on the parasit...

Abstract The production of injection moulded components with low shrinkage and warpage is a constant challenge for manufacturers. thermal design the mould plays an important role achievable quality, especially placement cooling channels. This usually based on empirical knowledge designers. construction supported iteratively by moulding simulations. In case thick-walled plastic optics big wall t...

Abstract. Purpose. The work’s aim is to check the stability loss hypothesis with snap-through effect of ribbed-annular dome's upper tier on a full-scale model by experimental tests, and confirming nonlinear tier's work under external load. Methodology. ribbed-ring dome circumscribe in plan as circle diameter 18 m rise ratio span - 1/4, which consisted 8 ribs had 6 tiers height, was taken an dom...

zinc is a substance that regulates neural excitability by binding whit sodium channel and potassium channel. the efficiency of free zinc ion, make down the neural survival rate, reduced the peak amplitude of na+ and make depolarization na channel, increased the peak amplitude of transition outward k+ currents and delayed rectifier. also it is an effective blocker of one subtype of tetrodoxine (...

The genus Astrantia L. is a perennial plant which belongs to the Umbelliferae family and is represented by only A. maxima Pallas which has two subspecies (subsp. maxima and subsp. haradjianii (Grintz.) Rech. fil.) in Turkey. Subsp. haradjianii is endemic and very common. In this study, Astrantia specimens were collected from different localities and investigated for morphological and anatomical...
