As two significant performance indicators, structure connectivity and substructure have been widely studied, they are used to judge a network’s fault tolerance properties from the perspective of becoming faulty. An n-dimensional bubble-sort star graph BSn is popular interconnection network with many good properties. We find upper bounds κ(BSn;K1,3) κs(BSn;K1,3) in this paper. Furthermore, we es...

This study compares RN-to-BSN completion graduates and generic BSN graduates in frequency of critical nursing activities performed when caring for patients and in degree of commitment to the profession. Results indicate that RN-to-BSN completion graduates perform in a manner similar to generic BSN graduates; however, RN-to-BSN graduates more frequently demonstrated professional commitment such ...

Body sensor networks (BSN) sometimes involve a dynamic and flexible membership of its sensors especially when monitoring of massive users in a disaster scenario. The problem of estranged devices requires a transfer of ownership from one BSN to a different BSN. Based on the models, a BSN has to adapt different mechanisms to address possible threats caused by estranged devices. The objective of o...

The Block Shift Network (BSN) is a new topology for interconnection networks in multiprocessor systems. BSN is a class of networks defined by several parameters, and has a constant number of links/node for some given parameters. Many popular networks such as the hypercube, the shuffle-exchange, and the complete networks, are instances of the BSN for different parameters. Performance of BSN has ...

Persistent phosphorylation of signal transducers and activators of transcription 3 (STAT3) is frequently observed in tumor cells. We found that brassinin (BSN) suppressed both constitutive and IL-6-inducible STAT3 activation in lung cancer cells. Moreover, BSN induced PIAS-3 protein and mRNA, whereas the expression of SOCS-3 was reduced. Knockdown of PIAS-3 by small interfering RNA prevented in...

BACKGROUND Higher proportions of BSN-educated nurses were associated with improved outcomes in hospital-level studies. A recent Institute of Medicine report calls for increasing the proportion of BSN-educated nurses to 80% by 2020. Patient-level evidence of cost and quality implications of the 80% BSN threshold is needed for a business case to support these efforts. OBJECTIVES To conduct the ...

A binary stochastic neuron (BSN) or a probabilistic bit (p-bit) randomly fluctuates between digitized “0” and “1” with controllable functionality of time-averaged value. Such an unconventional is the most essential building block for recently proposed neural networks computing. Here, we experimentally implement magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) BSN, relaxation times on order tens milliseconds that...

Approximately 60% of registered nurses (RNs) still enter practice with an associate’s degree or diploma in nursing (ADN). Due to recommendations to change entry level to practice to the bachelor’s degree in nursing (BSN), there are now more than 700 RN to BSN programs in the United States. The purpose of this qualitative systematic review was to understand more about what occurs when an RN retu...

Recent advances in wireless sensor networks have facilitate the realisation of pervasive health monitoring for both homecare and hospital environments. The concept of Body Sensor Networks (BSN) has been introduced recently where miniaturised wearable or implantable wireless sensors are used for continuous monitoring of patients. To facilitate research and development in BSN, a BSN hardware deve...
