Probing the LMC age gap at intermediate cluster masses [PDF]

, 2010
The LMC has a rich star cluster system spanning a wide range of ages and masses. One striking feature of the LMC cluster system is the existence of an age gap between 3-10 Gyrs. But this feature is not as clearly seen among field stars.

First Observational Signature of Rotational Deceleration in a Massive, Intermediate-age Star Cluster in the Magellanic Clouds

, 2016
While the extended main-sequence turn-offs (eMSTOs) found in almost all 1--2 Gyr-old star clusters in the Magellanic Clouds are often explained by postulating extended star-formation histories, the tight subgiant branches (SGBs) seen in some clusters ...

Lifting the lid: a clinical audit on commode cleaning [PDF]

, 2010
Many healthcare-associated infections (HCAIs) are preventable by infection control procedures designed to interrupt the transmission of organisms from a source. Commodes are in use constantly throughout healthcare facilities.

Problems of decontamination

Bulletin of the Military University of Technology, 2018
The work describes the elimination of contamination as a system for securing troops in the event of contamination in a functional and task approach. A critical analysis of technical equipment and post-contamination procedures was presented. Keywords: nuclear, biological and chemical defence, decontamination, decontamination, disinfection, deactivation.

Analysis of system decontamination effectiveness by development of decontamination factor evaluation program

Nuclear Engineering and Technology
This study compares how the change in decontamination scope affects the total decontamination factor (DF) in system decontamination of Kori Unit 1 (Kori-1), by development of decontamination factor evaluation program (DFEP). The DFEP calculates the total

Robust Pilot Decontamination Based on Joint Angle and Power Domain Discrimination [PDF]

, 2016
We address the problem of noise and interference corrupted channel estimation in massive MIMO systems. Interference, which originates from pilot reuse (or contamination), can in principle be discriminated on the basis of the distributions of path angles ...

Effective elimination of Staphylococcal contamination from hospital surfaces by a bacteriophage-probiotic sanitation strategy: a monocentric study. [PDF]

, 2019
Persistent contamination of hospital surfaces and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) are recognized major causes of healthcare-associated infections (HAI). We recently showed that a probiotic-based sanitation (PCHS) can stably decrease surface pathogens and ...
