Effect of the students nurses personal pain experience on assessment of pain intensity and selection of appropriate number of pain interventions

This investigation was undertaken to evaluate the " effect of the student nurses" personal pain experience on assessment of pain intensity and selection of appropriate number of pain interventions. Participants in this research were 150 fem...

Engaging Nurses in Effective Cost of Care Conversations to Address Cancer-Related Financial Toxicity: Results from an Exploratory Survey

Few evidence-based trainings exist on how to equip healthcare providers, particularly nurses, with the skills to engage in cost of care conversations with patients/caregivers to mitigate the impact of cancer-related financial toxicity. This...

Application of the convolutional neural network in partial discharge spectrum recognition of power apparatus

Abstract Partial discharge (PD) detection is used to evaluate the insulation status of high‐voltage equipment. The most challenging aspect of traditional PD recognition is extracting features from the discharge signal. Accordingly, this stu...

A hash-neighborhood-search-network-coding based opportunistic relay retransmission approach

In wireless multicast networks，it is rarely concerned that there may be certain receiving nodes which have better quality links both to the source node and to the other receiving nodes. A novel hash-neighborhoodsearch-network-coding based o...

Sustainable re-use of waste glass, cement and lime treated dredged material as pavement material

The amount of waste materials such as dredged materials (DM) and waste glass (WG) have been growing exponentially since the middle of the 20th century. The most important problem created by them is the lack of space to be used for storage b...

Preparation and adsorption application of PLA/GO/PDA nanofiber membrane

In this study, polylactic acid/graphene oxide/Dopamine (PLA/GO/DA) porous nanofiber membrane was prepared by electrospinning. L _16 (4 ^3 ) orthogonal experiment was designed to investigate the effects of reaction temperature, reaction time...

Gasification of Lignocellulosic Waste in Supercritical Water: Study of Thermodynamic Equilibrium as a Nonlinear Programming Problem

As one of the main industrial segments of the current geoeconomics scenario, agro-industrial activities generate excessive amounts of waste. The gasification of such waste using supercritical water (SCWG) has the potential to convert the wa...

Electrical Properties of Electrospun Fibers of PANI-PMMA Composites

Electrospinning is one of the simplest techniques for obtaining polymer nano fibers. Nanofibers have large surface area to volume ratio and hence have excellent application potential in sensors, filter design etc. Polyaniline (PANI) is the ...

COMPUTATIONAL INTELLIGENCE IN NUCLEAR ENGINEERING

Approaches to several recent issues in the operation of nuclear power plants using computational intelligence are discussed. These issues include 1) noise analysis techniques, 2) on-line monitoring and sensor validation, 3) regularization o...

Three-dimensional structure and formation mechanisms of Y2O3 hollow-precipitates in a Cu-based metallic glass

Recently, the high ductility of Cu-based bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) has been directly linked to the presence of Y2O3 precipitates, and surrounding crystallized areas. Nevertheless, the formation of the precipitates remains to be defined. ...

Graph Theory-Based Approach to Accomplish Complete Coverage Path Planning Tasks for Reconfigurable Robots

Extensive studies regarding complete coverage problems have been conducted, but a few tackle scenarios where the mobile robot is equipped with reconfigurable modules. The reconfigurability of these robots creates opportunities to develop ne...

Reducing Torque Ripple Through Innovative Configuration of Permanent Magnet Based on Air Gap Field Modulation Theory in a Novel Axial Flux Reversal Permanent Magnet Machine

In this paper, a novel axial flux reversal permanent magnet (PM) (AFRPM) machine, which combines the merit of the axial flux PM (AFPM) machine and flux reversal PM machine, is proposed. Meanwhile, according to the characteristics of the mac...

Improving die tooling properties by spraying TiC-Ti-Al and TiB2-Ti-Al electro-explosive coatings

This article describes increasing wear resistance of 5CrNiMo die steel by more than 5 times. This effect is achieved by creating TiC-Ti-Al and TiB _2 -Ti-Al coatings on the surface of 5CrNiMo die steel. The microhardness of the formed coati...

Optimal planning of integrated energy system considering swapping station and carbon capture power system

An optimal planning method for an integrated energy system (IES) considering electric vehicles (EVs) swapping station (SS) and carbon capture power system (CCPS) is studied in this paper. Firstly, based on the analysis of swapping EV load, ...
