Background: Healthcare personnel often use incorrect technique for donning and doffing of personal protective equipment (PPE).Objective: We tested the hypothesis that medical students receive insufficient training on correct methods for donning and doffing PPE.Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional survey of medical students on clinical rotations
Improving Sensing Measurements Using Laser Self-Mixing Interference in Non-Line-of-Sight Optical Communication via Systems
Dryer Idler Roller Objective: Mobile robots leverage laser self-mixing interference for sensing in non-line-of-sight optical communications, allowing for a wide range of measures such as distance, velocity, and displacement, while also improving accuracy and flexibility in robotic navigation and interaction.Interference, restricted range, and sensi
EZ-AG: structure-free data aggregation in MANETs using push-assisted self-repelling random walks
Abstract This paper describes EZ-AG, a structure-free protocol for duplicate insensitive data aggregation in MANETs.The key idea in EZ-AG is to introduce a token that performs a self-repelling random walk in the network and aggregates information from nodes when they are visited for the first time.A self-repelling random walk of a token on a graph
Hydrodynamic stress maps on the surface of a flexible fin-like foil.
We determine the time dependence of pressure and shear stress distributions on the surface of a pitching and deforming hydrofoil from measurements of the three dimensional flow field.Period-averaged stress maps are obtained both in the presence and absence of steady flow around the foil.The velocity vector field is determined via volumetric three-c
