Microbial stress due to the impaction of microorganisms onto an agar collection surface was studied experimentally. The relative recovery rates aerosolized Pseudomonas fluorescens and Micrococcus luteus were determined as a function velocity by using moving slide impactor operating over flow rate range from 3.8 40 liters/min yielding velocities 24 250 m/s. As reference, sixth stage Andersen Six-Stage Viable Particle Sizing Sampler used at its 28.3 (24 m/s). At efficiency close 100% for...
Bacterial agents and cell components can be spread as bioaerosols, producing infections asthmatic problems. This study compares four methods for the detection enumeration of aerosolized bacteria collected in an AGI-30 impinger. Changes total viable concentrations Pseudomonas fluorescens collection fluid with respect to time impingement were determined. Two direct microscopic (acridine orange BacLight) aerodynamic aerosol-size spectrometry (Aerosizer) employed measure bacterial impinger air,...
Introduction Scheduling resident continuity clinic sessions and outpatient education in Internal Medicine-Pediatrics (Med-Peds) residency programs pose challenges. A minority of Med-Peds have switched to an "X + Y" schedule (each weeks) specifically separate inpatient rotations other experiences ("X" schedule) from clinics longitudinal clinical educational ("Y" schedule). Outside focus groups, quantitative data residents on overall specific satisfaction with "Y" its components not been...
Many have called for a redesign of internal medicine training.1–7 One result this is that residency program directors questioned the utility traditional scheduling models with weekly continuity clinic conflicts residents' inpatient rotations and duties. In fact, Residency Review Committee Internal Medicine has now mandated programs “must develop schedules ambulatory training minimize conflicting outpatient responsibilities.”8 large components (eg, primary care, medicine, family medicine)...
Graduate medical education (GME) in the United States is financed by contributions from both federal and state entities that total over $15 billion annually. Within institutions, these funds are distributed with limited transparency to achieve ill-defined outcomes. To address this, Institute of Medicine convened a committee on governance financing GME recommend finance reform would promote physician training system meets society's current future needs. The resulting report provided several...
Management Few would argue that the upstream oil and gas industry has become more technology-intensive over years. At same time, increasing costs complexity of today’s exploration production (E&P) technologies are making it increasingly difficult for any one company to support an aggressive research development (R&D) agenda single-handedly. The coming together these two evolutionary forces gives rise important questions. How does innovation happen in E&P industry? Specifically,...
Despite the success of vaccines in reducing morbidity and mortality associated with infectious diseases, many both newly emerging well known, lack vaccines. The global capability for beginning‐to‐end vaccine development has become limited, primarily owing to a scarcity human capital necessary guide novel from laboratory marketplace. Here, we identify discuss gaps robust make recommendations begin address these deficiencies.
Editor’s note: This is the first installment of a multipart series examining key upstream technology challenges facing oil and gas industry reasons for lack accelerated acceptance technologies needed to expand frontiers exploration production. Managed pressure drilling services have been offered almost decade and, while some believe it has potential be widely used in future, thus far met with relatively limited by companies. The evaluation this emerging its involved worldwide survey among...
Editor’s note: This is the third and final installment of a multipart series examining key upstream technology uptake challenges in oil gas industry, reasons for lack accelerated acceptance viable technologies needed to exploit increasingly challenging drilling production environments. Similar managed pressure (MPD) article published February JPT seismic while (SWD) March, permanent downhole monitoring (PDM) survey was conducted among SPE readership around world. In total, about 1,500...
Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) training is a process by which external pressure applied over the proximal portion of an extremity to maintain arterial inflow while occluding venous outflow. Post-Activation Potentiation (PAP) phenomenon muscular performance may be enhanced as result previously completed contractions. Independently, PAP and BFR have been studied, but two yet combined in reference sprint performance. PURPOSE: The purpose this study was determine if combination lower extremities...
