In the past, the outside plant (OSP) to equipment fiber ratio was about two to one, or two OSP fiber terminations in the CO to every one equipment fiber termination. The focus for access and connections was primarily on the front of the optical distribution frame line-up. There was very little electronic equipment with optical interface – usually the last piece of equipment before the signal ex...

Offices and outpatient dental facilities must be properly equipped with devices for airway management, oxygenation, and ventilation. Optimizing patient safety using crisis resource management (CRM) involves the entire dental office team being familiar with airway rescue equipment. Basic equipment for oxygenation, ventilation, and airway management is mandated in the majority of US dental office...

The paper describes a positive case of practical application of ethics in the automatic control technology change in Poland. The case has its origin in the Automation Design Office of Elwro, the first Polish manufacturer of computers in late sixties. The severe limitations of the technology transfer in the beginning period of the Design Office forced to solve almost all problems with the local ...

In the early 1960s, LTC Richard L. Coppedge, Medical Corps, expanded the functions of the Office of the Surgeon for the Special Warfare Center at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. He drew upon the then recent Special Forces experience in Laos and the beginnings of Special Forces experience in Vietnam to reorient the Special Forces medical mission from guerilla warfare to counterinsurgency. With impro...

Transmission of infection in the paediatric office is of increasing concern. The present document discusses routes of transmission of infection and the principles of current infection control measures. Prevention includes appropriate office design and administrative policies, triage, routine practices for the care of all patients (eg, hand hygiene; use of gloves, masks, eye protection and gowns...

Office procedures in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) can be considered before and after medical management, as well as before and after surgical management. This article focuses specifically on refractory CRS, meaning those patients who have failed medical and surgical management already. The options available in the management of refractory CRS depend on the personnel, equipment, and instrumentat...

The Faculty of Engineering, Mulawarman University's equipment warehouse is divided into the office-stationery and damaged-goods warehouse. Office-stationery stores office stationery, spare parts, consumables. Meanwhile, for damaged goods various such as furniture, Personal Computer (PC) components, electronic goods, laboratory equipment. problem with that many items need to be better organized ...

Let R = ⊕(u,v)∈N2R(u,v) be a standard bigraded algebra over an artinian local ring K = R(0,0). Standard means R is generated over K by a finite number of elements of degree (1, 0) and (0, 1). Since the length l(R(u,v)) of R(u,v) is finite, we can consider l(R(u,v)) as a function in two variables u and v. This function was first studied by van der Waerden [W] and Bhattacharya [B] who proved that...

Let D denote the open unit disk {z ∈ C | |z| < 1}, and C+ denote the right half-plane {s ∈ C | Re(s) ≥ 0}. (1) Let W (D) be the Wiener algebra of the disc, that is the set of all absolutely convergent Taylor series in the open unit disk D, with pointwise operations. (2) Let W (C+) be the set of all functions defined in the right halfplane C+ that differ from the Laplace transform of a function ...
