In response to concerns about the continued care and safety of critically ill injured patients, our academic, urban, tertiary care, level I trauma center adult emergency department (ED) created an advanced practice provider (APP)-staffed critical step-down unit (CCSU). We conducted semistructured interviews ED physicians, APPs, nursing staff value added by CCSU as well suggestions for its impro...

This paper presents some of the results of the simulation in the radiation section of an industrial boiler using an advanced mathematical model. Calculations are described for the flow, heat transfer, and chemical reaction processes occurring within a gas-fired cylindrical furnace. The calculation procedure is a two dimensional one in which the main hydrodynamic variables are the velocity and s...

this study investigated 1) whether the effect of teacher-developed graphic organizers vis-à-vis student-developed ones was more significant on improving intermediate efl learners’ writing, and 2)whether the use of both graphic organizers had any impact on their writing. the participants were selectedin two stages: 130 students sat for a piloted proficiency test. those who scored above half ofth...

The rate of step propagation for an isolated, continuous and curved step with bulk diffusion is solved within the steady-state approximation and it is noted that the Chernov model of parallel sequence of step advance is without effort adapted to the curved step. The solution of the Laplace equation in toroidal coordinates for a diffusion layer of arbitrary extension yields the diffusion flux de...
