Altering the time base required physically changing the ramp generator. In this article a new method of generating the sweep deflection ramps is presented that permits changing the sweep rate by computer control without replacing the ramp generator. A logic level signal can now be used to change sweep rates without the need for invasive component changes. This new development permits fast and e...

Results suggesting that changing perspective and switching across spatial environments held in memory are processes that take place in parallel were obtained from a task-switching experiment. Participants learned layouts of objects in two virtual rooms and then were asked to use their memories to locate the objects from various imagined viewing perspectives. Results revealed that, even after ex...

BACKGROUND General practice has rapidly computerised over the past ten years, thereby changing the nature of general practice rooms. Most general practice consulting rooms were designed and created in an era without computer hardware, establishing a pattern of work around maximising the doctor-patient relationship. General practitioners (GPs) and patients have had to integrate the computer into...

results higher levels of stress were due to the fear of being infected by hiv and hepatitis patients with mean of 3.2 and 58%; and lack of weekends with mean of 3 and 44%. the lowest levels of stress were related to inadequate skills with mean of 2.18 and 32%, and environment light with mean of 2.14 and 34.7%. stress was significantly related to job status, conflict of doctors and nurses as wel...

Introduction / objectives In our hospital with 178 beds the core business is multidisciplinar rehabilitation. Close contacts between staff, patients and their environment are inherent in this process. Isolation in single room in case of MRSA is not advisable in the purpose of social reintegration. Isolation is difficult because of long stay and a limited number of single rooms. Before changing ...

the expanding technologies of the internet, telecommunications and computing have led to increasingly sophisticated and diverse methods of communication during the past decade. From simple textbased chat rooms to online virtual worlds, these new technologies present novel ways to interact with one’s peers and the public. the internet is not only influencing and changing the business model and f...

This paper describes our current study in the development of collaborative design environment which considers ICT (Information and Communication Technology) and architectural space. Our study group has been developing a computerized prototype environment for collaboration, which attempts to support synchronous design collaboration in a continuously connected project-room at distributing sites. ...
