Abstract Background Collaboration among all medical staff is essential to improve the quality of infection control. However, it not easy fully disseminate control knowledge all. The purpose this study was evaluate whether implementation Infection Control Link program organized in our hospital improved indicator (QI) Methods Our hospital's link unique that composed healthcare professions, including only physicians and nurses, but also laboratory technicians, pharmacists, radiologists,...
Controversy still exists as to whether gastrointestinal colonisation by Candida albicans contributes aggravation of atopic dermatitis. We hypothesised that promotes food allergy, which is known contribute a pathogenic response in tested this using recently established murine model.Candida the tract was intragastric inoculation with C mice fed synthetic diet. To investigate sensitisation against antigen, were intragastrically administered ovalbumin every other day for nine weeks, and...
Present day strategies for delivery of wireless photodynamic therapy (PDT) to deep-seated targets are limited by the inadequacy irradiance and insufficient therapeutic depth. Here we report design preclinical validation a flexible upconversion nanoparticle (UCNP) implant (SIRIUS) that is capable large field, high intensity illumination PDT tumors. The achieves this incorporating submicrometer core–shell–shell NaYF4 UCNPs into its design, which significantly enhances efficiency mitigates...
An optically reconfigurable gate array (ORGA) system, which consists of an ORGA very large scale integration (VLSI), easily rewritable liquid crystal holographic memory recording four configuration contexts, and a laser array, is proposed. Circuits on the ORGA-VLSI can be programmed rapidly by exploiting parallel connections between VLSI; that programming executed even as it being programmed. Consequently, switched from certain circuit to another instantaneously. We present demonstration...
Abstract This paper focuses on the generation of twin vortex rope in draft-tube elbow a Francis turbine at deep part-load operation through analyzing results model tests along with numerical simulations. Model tests, including pressure fluctuations measurements, are conducted over ten speed factors. By considering frequency respect to swirl intensity runner outlet, operating range is divided into three regimes, two clear transitions between each occurring numbers 0.4 and 1.7. For conditions...
The purpose of this study was to investigate the orthopedic effects combined maxillary protraction appliance (MPA) and chincap therapy on growing Japanese girls posttreatment changes after growth is complete.

During treatment, forward movement maxilla counterclockwise rotation, backward downward mandible clockwise rotation retardation were observed....
Mode-locked fiber lasers with wavelength tunability and dual-wavelength mode-locking capability have wide applications in nonlinear imaging, precision metrology photonic sensing. Here, for the first time, we propose experimentally demonstrate an environmentally stable all-polarization-maintaining (all-PM) mode-locked laser without any intracavity filter attenuator, whose is switchable injected pump power. By increasing power, switches from 1560-nm band to 1560/1530-nm mode-locking, finally...
Coastal regions, including beaches, constitute major tourism assets. Concurrently, beaches are hotspots for microplastic generation, and accumulated beached litter substantially influences future abundance in the marine environment. Although stock of plastic on has been estimated previous studies, knowledge gaps exist with regard to amount annually generated by beach users absence generation rate (LGR) g/person/h or items/person/h. This study aimed estimate beach-based using a novel method....
In pattern recognition fields, it is worthwhile to develop a system that hears one and knows ten. Recently, classification of printed characters are the same fonts almost possible, but handwritten still difficult. On other hand, there large number writing systems in world, need for efficient character even with small sample. Deep learning most effective approaches image recognition. Despite this, deep causes overtrains easily, particularly when training samples small. For this reason,...

We achieved the first demonstration of a wavelength-tunable mode-locked fiber laser in L-band using all-Polarization-Maintaining (all-PM) Nonlinear Polarization Rotation (NPR). The all-PM configured features excellent repeatability and reliability. By increasing pump power from 82.5 mW to 135 mW, center wavelength-tuning 1576.2 nm 1592.2 is obtained. This non-mechanical tuning mechanism opens new possibilities for lasers their applications.
We demonstrate the pump-controlled mode-locking switching in an all-polarization-maintaining, CNT-mode-locked fiber laser. By simply changing injected pump power, can be switched between two wavelengths, or built up at both wavelengths.
The quantification of optical thickness using a wavelength swept source is pivotal for applications such as Swept Source Optical Coherence Tomography (SS-OCT) and Frequency-Modulated Continuous-Wave (FMCW) lidar, demanding sub-millimeter range resolution.
