The Essentials of Baccalaureate Education for Professional Nursing Practice provides a framework for building the baccalaureate education for the twenty-first century. One of the exemplars included in the essentials toolkit includes student participation in an actual root cause analysis (RCA) or failure mode effects analysis. To align with this exemplar, faculty at the University of Michigan Sc...

With the increasing demands of data communication speed for different type of data transmission, many revolutions occur with time in wireless communication system. The use of MIMO for wireless data transmission has proven itself for enhancing the capacity of data transmission. The mobile network based on the cell structure also uses the MIMO techniques. Further research in the field of massive ...

To respond to the changing needs of the industry for non-traditional electrical measurements many national laboratories including the National Research Council of Canada (NRC), the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB), the National Physical Laboratory (NPL), and the Swedish National Testing and Research Institute (SP) have develo...

Background: Various chemical, physical and biologic treatment methods are being used to remove nitrogen and phosphorus from wastewater. Sequencing batch reactor (SBR) is a modified activated sludge process that removes phosphorus and organic material from sanitary wastewater, biologically. Methods: This study was conducted in 2016.The performance of an aerobic-anaerobic SBR pilot device, locat...

The removal of calcium and magnesium ions (softening) from clear juice can be beneficial to downstream processes. Such benefits include reduced evaporator scaling and the improved potential for the application ofion exclusion chromatography for additional sucrose recovery. The results of experiments in the laboratory and on a pilot plant scale are presented. These show that it is possible to so...

A methodology for modelling and designing H∞ controllers for an experimental pilot-scale flotation column plant is described. Experimental results, including the modelling procedure and an H∞ design, are presented. For this purpose, different models, for different operating conditions, are determined, by means of system identification techniques. A strategy to get the uncertainty model, using a...

This paper addresses the development of pilot scale sustainable technology for microalgae capture of CO2 from power plant flue gas in alkaline solutions to produce biodiesel from algal oil. A combination of computer tools for process simulation, economic evaluation, and environmental impact allow sustainable process assessment. Laboratory scale experiments for growth and culture for algae in la...

Limited research has focused on recruitment strategies for health promotion researchers conducting small-scale pilot studies. Such research is important because small studies often have limited funding streams and personnel resources. Accordingly, many techniques implemented by large-scale studies are of limited use to smaller research projects. This article provides an overview effective parti...
