Trinidad is a small island developing state caught between the need to engage rapid development while respecting and preserving the environment. This study assessed citizens' education needs related to the environmental laws of Trinidad and Tobago. It focused on a densely populated, at- risk area of the country referred to as the East-West (E-W) corridor. Two hundred (200) persons living along ...

Abstract Introduction: Nurses' compliance with standard precautions is a viable tool for decreasing health hazards in health centers. Objective: This study aimed to identify factors affecting compliance with standard precautions (SPs) of infection control based on the health belief model (HBM) among emergency department nurses employed in the educational-therapeutic centers affiliated with G...

This paper presents the results of investigations into modeling DC and dynamic characteristics an alkaline electrolyzer. A model device under consideration is proposed in form analytical relationships which coefficients depend on concentration potassium hydroxide solution contained electrolyzer consideration. The correctness verified by comparing calculated measured current–voltage dependence m...

The aim of this paper is to extend recent works devoted the study effect 3D pores concave shape embedded in isotropic matrix case transversely (TI) matrix. In first part paper, approximate relations for compliance contribution tensor two reference shapes, supersphere and axisymmetrical superspheroid, are developed on basis Finite Element Modelling, recently presented a companion known exact sol...

Background and aim: Lack of proper assessment of students' knowledge regarding theoretical contents leads to disappointment and negligence by weak students. This study assessed multiple-choice questions (MCQs) of oral and maxillofacial medicine courses in the first semester of the academic year 2014-2015. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, questions of theoretical oral medic...

A new fictitious domain model for topology optimization of time-harmonic problems based on a wave to diffusion equation transition is proposed. By employing negative values appropriate material coefficients, tuneable exponential decay the field amplitude in domains can be obtained, whereas conventional finite always present. To demonstrate applicability model, we consider two problems; volume m...

Organizations and monitoring agencies continue to express concern over software piracy because of the ethical, legal and financial implications of noncompliance. This study focuses on how software license noncompliance is actually a factor in software piracy. Many organizations use a variety of software tools distributed over their workforce and tracking license compliance for turnover, upgrade...

“Compliance” is a multi-faceted concept that encompasses the capability of an organization to monitor and meet impinging obligations. It has recently become an area of significant concern to many major multi-national organizations. The proliferation of service-oriented systems rely on rich behavioral descriptions of functionality to facilitate seamless application composition and interoperation...
