This paper presents a case study that applies ISO 26262 Part 3 to the hazard analysis of an in-wheel electric motor. It describes the activities undertaken, their mapping onto the Standard, and discusses the limits and strengths of the analysis and possible alternative approaches.

As an acute effect, both ethanol and methanol prolong P-R, Q-T and ST intervals in rat electrocardiogram. The R wave amplitude showed a marked increase with methanol. Other ECG abnormalities like S-T segment changes, appearance of Iso-electric S-T segment, inverted 'T' wave, ventricular ectopic and wandering pace maker were more common in methanol treated animals.

Objective: To evaluate the value of continuous electroencephalography (EEG) in early prognostication in patients treated with hypothermia after cardiac arrest. Design: Prospective cohort study. Setting: Medical Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Patients: Sixty patients admitted to the ICU for therapeutic hypothermia after cardiac arrest. Intervention: None. Measurements and Main Results: In all patien...

Human capital is the foundation for organizational improvement and innovation. Lots of organizations have been relentlessly focusing on education and trainings for employees to increase employees’ capabilities and organization’s performance. The objective of this study is to integrate QFD and ISO 10015 to set up a framework of human capital management by applying ISO 10015 as a planning tool to...

1. From pooled serum containing genetically homogeneous transferrin C1, transferrin was purified and separated in three fractions (tri-tri, bi-tri- and bi-bi-antennary transferrin C1), using Concanavalin A-Sepharose. 2. Each of these fractions was separated into its sialic acid-dependent subfractions by preparative isoelectric focusing. Sixteen iso-transferrin C1 fractions were obtained, which ...

This paper describes some experiences gained from applying ISO/IEC 15504 for software process assessments focusing on process improvement in four small software companies in Brazil. The assessments have been realized in the context of the research project 15504MPE, which aims at the development of a customized assessment method based on the standard ISO/IEC 15504 adapted to small brazilian soft...

A microchannel device is presented which separates and focuses charged proteins based on electric field gradient focusing. Separation is achieved by setting a constant electroosmotic flow velocity against step changes in electrophoretic velocity. Where these two velocities are balanced for a given analyte, the analyte focuses at that point because it is driven to it from all points within the c...

Bipolar electrode (BPE) focusing is a developing technique for enrichment and separation of charged analytes in a microfluidic channel. The technique employs a bipolar electrode that initiates faradaic processes that subsequently lead to formation of an ion depletion zone. The electric field gradient resulting from this depletion zone focuses ions on the basis of their individual electrophoreti...

This study pertains to assessing the effects of electric shocks that are used in the treatment of severe self-injurious behavior. With pain sensation and startle response as the dependent variables and focusing versus distraction of recipient's attention to the electric shocks as the independent variable, these stimuli were administered to 60 paid volunteers. Using ANOVA, no significant effect ...

ISO 9001 Quality Management System (QMS) and Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) are quality management technologies, which can be applied to the software industry. This paper adopts these two management technologies to improve software process quality. ISO 9001 stresses the importance of building a QMS complying with the ISO guidelines of documation. CMMI stresses the importance of bu...
