OBJECTIVES To assess satisfaction with needs met, signs and symptoms of acute stress disorder, interpersonal perception of healthcare staff, level of opti...

Around the beginning of 2020—when pandemic had just started—a group IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society (SSCS) young professionals (YPs) initiated idea using virtual webinars to deliver nontechnical yet critical skills YP members. In addition, can also bridge YPs and senior With generous help from SSCS Webinar Committee support members, for Young Excellence (WYE) commenced its first webinar in 20...

Effective communication among care team members is not easy to accomplish. Although all clinical disciplines rely upon each other while providing care to patients, the specific care processes, customary interactions, and professional hierarchy usually in place do not facilitate a team approach to care. Much of this originates with professional training. Professionals in different disciplines tr...

Ca(2+)-activated Cl(-) channels (CaCCs) participate in numerous physiological functions such as neuronal excitability, sensory transduction, and transepithelial fluid transport. Recently, it was shown that heterologously expressed anoctamins ANO1 and ANO2 generate currents that resemble native CaCCs. The anoctamin family (also called Tmem16) consists of 10 members, but it is not known whether a...

The web crossed truss boom is one of the commonly used structures crawler cranes. However, existing calculations fail to consider limiting effect members' bending resistance on chord members, and cannot give full play load-bearing capacity structure. This paper takes top section Crawler crane as research object. single-span theoretical model established according Timoshenko's elastic stability ...

the coherent anomaly method and a cluster mean-field approach combined with finite-sizescaling extrapolation were used to determine the critical temperature and the critical exponents of as =1 ising chain with a long-range interaction in the form of 1/ r1+σ . the results of criticaltemperature are in good agreement with the recent results of the finite-range scaling method and aremore accurate ...

Critical information literacy instruction requires that instructors enter into a community with students. A major challenge of library is the limited amount time students and instructor have to interact one another. Creating in an hour tall task, often butts up against culture has already been set during normal class sessions. However, does not mean setting or building classroom impossible. Do-...
