In this paper we first study the problem of practical asymptotic stability for a class of discrete-time time-delay systems via Razumikhin-type Theorems. Further the estimations of solution boundary and arrival time of the solution into a region are also investigated based on the practical stability results. Finally, the result on practical asymptotic stability is used to analyze the practical c...

Oncology nurses play a pivotal role in the care of patients receiving chemotherapy and are in a prime position to facilitate better care of patients experiencing chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV). However, to do so, they must be kept well apprised of the most recent guidelines, the latest developments in CINV therapy, and the expanding knowledge of CINV pathophysiology. In April 2...

?ld to the intelligent nurse of the present, and for their still further improvement the new edition of Mental Nursing is specially adapted. The sections on Elementary Anatomy and Physiology and First Aid have been omitted, and replaced by others of more immediate value. The book now forms a sound guide for the treatment of the insane from the practical nursing Point of view, and as such it can...

Objective: To evaluate the effect of the pattern of clinical pathway management upon the healthcare nursing for patients who were diagnosed with malignant tumors. Methods: A total of 186 intern nurses were recruited and randomly divided into the control (n=90) and clinical pathway groups (n=96). In the control group, all the intern nurses received traditional teaching management, and their coun...

When a promising new compound enters early development, studies are conducted to determine the properties of the drug under various chemical and physical conditions in order to find a formulation suitable for use in clinical trials. Measuring both the chemical and physical stability of the drug candidate is an important part of early phase development since the shelf life of the compound will u...

Biped locomotion has proven to be a very hard problem to solve. At current date, there exists no humanoid robot that can move as dynamic and robust as humans do. Even though there has been much research and certainly some interesting progress in biped locomotion, there is certainly no single solution that provides robots with the same capabilities as humans. What seems to be especially lacking ...
