Avoiding Catastrophe in a High-Risk Environment: AUSMAT at Howard Springs

Global Biosecurity, 2022
The Australian Medical Assistance Team (AUSMAT) led the implementation, establishment and management of Howard Springs International Quarantine Facility at the Centre for National Resilience from October 2020 to May 2021. The operation is internationally

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 ...

Linear response at criticality [PDF]

Physical Review E, 2012
We study a set of cooperatively interacting units at criticality, and we prove with analytical and numerical arguments that they generate the same renewal non-Poisson intermittency as that produced by blinking quantum dots, thereby giving a stronger support to the results of earlier investigation.

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-

Characteristics of trauma mortality in the Northern Territory, Australia

Injury Epidemiology, 2017
Background While factors including remoteness, alcohol consumption, age and Indigenous ethnicity are well-documented associations of trauma mortality, less is known of trauma seasonality.

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 ...

Optimal Viscous Damper Placement for Elastic-Plastic MDOF Structures Under Critical Double Impulse

Frontiers in Built Environment, 2019
A new method for optimal viscous damper placement is proposed for elastic-plastic multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) structures subjected to the critical double impulse as a representative of near-fault ground motions.
