Analysis of reports about incidental and accidental events in nursing care were made using a reliability engineering method. Unnatural working hours, such as evening duty, night duty falling next to a holiday, two consecutive night-duty shifts, and two consecutive evening-duty shifts were major factors in the occurrence of errors. In a mixed-division ward (a ward containing patients belonging t...

‎in the following text for arbitrary $x$ with at least two elements‎, ‎nonempty countable set $gamma$‎ ‎we make a comparative study on the collection of generalized shift dynamical systems like $(x^gamma,sigma_varphi)$ where $varphi:gammatogamma$ is an arbitrary self-map‎. ‎we pay attention to sub-systems and combinations of generalized shifts with counterexamples regarding devaney‎, ‎exact dev...

This does not affect the other results presented in the paper. We are grateful to Professor Jan Jensen for bringing this issue to our attention. The Royal Society of Chemistry apologises for these errors and any consequent inconvenience to authors and readers.

In some manufacturing processes, complex profiles are collected to characterize quality status. However, some of these profiles may have unequal lengths, which makes the attempt of directly comparing them difficult. In addition, when a shift occurs in a profile, it usually affects a segment of continuously connected observations. That is, local shifts instead of global shifts are frequently see...

This study evaluated the extent of water penetration through resin-dentin interfaces before and after being sealed with adhesives. Four adhesive resin systems (2 total-etch adhesives and 2 self-etching primer adhesives) were used in this study. Dentin disks were placed in a split-chamber device, and in situ fluid movement across dentin was measured, with and without physiological pressure, duri...

the phytoplankton structure and dynamics were analysed in relation to abiotic variables inpaso de las piedras reservoir, argentina. phytoplankton driving forces were explored using a functionalapproach. a total of 15 functional groups were identified among which d, p, h1, f, j and c were the mostimportant. a canonical variate analysis indicated that the categorization of the species in function...

Both classical social psychological theories and recent formal models of opinion differentiation and bi-polarization assign a prominent role to negative social influence. Negative influence is defined as shifts away from the opinion of others and hypothesized to be induced by discrepancy with or disliking of the source of influence. There is strong empirical support for the presence of positive...
