Adopting an institutional perspective, we propose that home country intellectual property (IP) and employee protection institutions moderate the relationship between corporate entrepreneurship (CE) firm performance. Examining 9642 European firms, find whereas internal CE is more positively correlated with performance in countries less stringent IP protection, external particularly negatively pr...

Nursing interventions in diabetes education are considered relevant in order to achieve proper outcomes. It is important to know what nurses do in this field and for this purpose we need valid and reliable instruments. Objective: To develop and determine the psychometric characteristics of Diabetes Education Process Scale (DEP). Methods: Based on the question “What interventions nurses develop ...

This work intends to quantify the risk of internal contaminations in the nuclear medicine staff of one hospital in Henan province, China. For this purpose, the criteria proposed by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to determine whether it is necessary to conduct internal individual monitoring was applied to all of the 18 nuclear medicine staff members who handled radionuclides. The ...

Major immune-dominant proteins of Leptospira interrogans Icterohaemorrhagiae were cloned, expressed in prokaryotic system was purified and confirmed by western blot. The protective efficacy of purified recombinant proteins was assayed synergistically with adjuvant in hamster models. Three combination were assessed for homologous protection (i.e, rLipL41, rOmpL1, rHapI and rSphH; rLipL41, rOmpL1...

Consumption of food containing mercury has been identified as a health risk. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) and the National Academy of Sciences recommend keeping the whole blood mercury level < 5.0 microg/L or the hair level < 1.0 microg/g. This corresponds to a reference dose (RfD) of 0.1 microg/kg body weight per day. All patients in a 1-year period (n = 720) who came fo...

This paper presents the use of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) as a pattern classifier for the combined differential protection of generator-transformer unit with an aim to build a backup protection system to improve the overall reliability of the system. The proposed neural network model is trained and tested with an efficient Resilient Back propagation (RPROP) algorithm and Genetic Algorithm...

As an increasing number of organizations become dependent on access to their data over the Internet, the need for adequate security measures is becoming more and more critical. The most popular security measure these days is a firewall. However, a firewail is not immune to penetration, and it does not provide any protection of internal resources from insiders and successful intruders. One of th...

A new approach for protection of power transformer is presented using a time-frequency transform known as Wavelet transform. Different operating conditions such as inrush, Normal, load, External fault and internal fault current are sampled and processed to obtain wavelet coefficients. Different Operating conditions provide variation in wavelet coefficients. Features like energy and Standard dev...

This paper discusses the application of MultiLayer Feed Forward Neural Network (MFNN) for the differential protection of the turbogenerator based on pattern classification. The cases of all the possible internal faults in the stator of the generator with lap winding have been simulated using Modified Winding function Approach. The simulated fault currents in the phases and their parallel paths ...

INTRODUCTION Migrants are a vulnerable population and could experience various challenges and barriers to accessing health insurance. Health insurance coverage protects migrants from financial loss related to illness and death. We assessed social health insurance (SHI) coverage and its financial protection effect among rural-to-urban internal migrants (IMs) in China. METHODS Data from the '20...
