Lean strategies in healthcare aims to improve patient throughput, reducing medication errors, redesigning work flow, improving patient safety, and reducing cycle time but studies to improve healthcare’s warehouse operation was not common. Managing medical supplies has always been a priority due to demand uncertainties and the risk of shortages which would greatly affect patient safety. This stu...

The analysis presented in 1972 by R. F. Q. Johnson, B. A. Maher, and T. X. Barber indicated that nonhypnotic 5s manifest trance logic as often as "real" hypnotic 5s. E. R. Hilgard's 1972 critique contended that the analysis was misleading because only those 5s should have been included in the analysis who met the stringent criterion for hallucination. This paper shows that when one includes in ...

5S rRNA is an integral component of the large ribosomal subunit in virtually all living organisms. Polyamine binding to 5S rRNA was investigated by cross-linking of N1-azidobenzamidino (ABA)-spermine to naked 5S rRNA or 50S ribosomal subunits and whole ribosomes from Escherichia coli cells. ABA-spermine cross-linking sites were kinetically measured and their positions in 5S rRNA were localized ...

In Phase I of the investigation, 70 5s were assigned to one of three treatment conditions: hypnotic induction, instructions to simulate hypnosis, or imagination control. All 5s were assessed on Orne's two indexes of trance logic (the transparent hallucination and the double hallucination). The imagination controls consistently showed trance logic as often as the hypnotic Ss. Depending upon the ...

In Escherichia coli, ribosomal RNAs (16S, 23S and 5S) are co-transcribed in a highly regulated manner from seven genomically dispersed operons. Previous studies on the cellular effects of altered levels of two of these rRNAs (16S and 23S) have been useful in better understanding the regulation of rRNA expression. Furthering these studies, we have investigated the effect of 5S rRNA deficiencies ...

In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, each of the tandemly repeated ribosomal RNA genes carries a 5S gene within the 'non-transcribed' spacer region. These 5S RNA genes lie between the rDNA enhancer and the promoter of rRNA transcription. Since there is roughly equimolar synthesis of 5S RNA and the 35S rRNA precursor transcript we asked whether the enhancer plays a role in regulating the trans...

Chiral hydroxyl monophosphane 3 [(2S,3S,4S,5S)-3,4-dihydroxy-2, 5-dimethyl-1-phenylphospholane] and bisphospholanes 5a [1,2-bis[(2S, 3S,4S,5S)-3,4-dihydroxy-2,5-dimethylphospholanyl]benzene] and 5b [1, 2-bis[(2S,3S,4S,5S)-2,5-diethyl-3,4-dihydroxyphospholanyl]benzene] were synthesized from readily available D-mannitol in high yields. Strategies for protection and deprotection of OH-groups in th...
