Electronic monitoring of doffing using video surveillance to minimise error rate and increase safety at Howard Springs International Quarantine Facility

Antimicrobial Resistance and Infection Control, 2022
Background Safe donning and doffing of personal protective equipment (PPE) are critical to prevent transmission of infectious diseases. Novel strategies to improve infection prevention and control (IPC) adherence can optimise safety.

Critical Response of High-Rise Buildings With Deformation-Concentration Seismic Control System Under Double and Multi Impulses Representing Pulse-Type and Long-Duration Ground Motions

Frontiers in Built Environment, 2021
The critical responses are investigated for a high-rise building with a deformation-concentration seismic control system under double and multi impulses representing pulse-type and long-duration ground motions, respectively.

A low risk of nosocomial transmission of subclinical tuberculosis to neonates in a postpartum care center under COVID-19 control measures [PDF]

Osong Public Health and Research Perspectives, 2022
We report the results of investigating and managing a tuberculosis (TB) exposure in a postpartum care center. Among the contacts exposed to a nursing assistant with subclinical TB, 5 of 44 neonates (11.4%) had positive tuberculin skin tests (TSTs) at 3 ...

Critical Response of Multi-Story Damped Bilinear Hysteretic Shear Building Under Multi Impulse as Representative of Long-Period, Long-Duration Earthquake Ground Motions

Frontiers in Built Environment, 2020
The critical response is investigated for a multi-story damped bilinear hysteretic shear building model under a multi impulse as a representative of long-period, long-duration earthquake ground motions. The critical response for an elastic–plastic single-

Normal-Superconducting Phase Transition Mimicked by Current Noise [PDF]

, 2004
As a superconductor goes from the normal state into the superconducting state, the voltage vs. current characteristics at low currents change from linear to non-linear.

Efficacy and Safety of Pediatric Critical Care Physician Telemedicine Involvement in Rapid Response Team and Code Response in a Satellite Facility [PDF]

, 2019
OBJECTIVES: Satellite inpatient facilities of larger children's hospitals often do not have on-site intensivist support. In-house rapid response teams and code teams may be difficult to operationalize in such facilities.

Critical Steady-State Response of Single-Degree-of-Freedom Bilinear Hysteretic System under Multi Impulse as Substitute of Long-Duration Ground Motion

Frontiers in Built Environment, 2017
A set of multiple impulses is introduced as a substitute of many-cycle harmonic waves which represent the long-duration earthquake ground motion. A closed-form expression is derived of the elastic–plastic response of a single-degree-of-freedom structure ...
