Quality within all areas of healthcare should be systemically monitored and ensured. However, the definition of quality is complex and diverse. In the ambulance service (AS), quality has traditionally been defined as response time, but this measurement eliminates the possibility of addressing other characteristics of quality, such as the care provided. This study aimed to explore what constitutes quality in the context of the ambulance service as experienced by ambulance clinicians, physicians, and managers. A focus group study was conducted with 18 participants. The three focus groups were analyzed with the focus group method developed by Kreuger and Casey. The participants highlighted patient involvement, information and care, as well as adherence to policies, regulations, and their own standards as representing quality in the AS. This study demonstrates that quality is in the eye of the beholder. As quality seems to be viewed similarly by patients and ambulance clinicians, physicians, and managers, stakeholders should aim for a paradigm shift where patients’ experience of the care is just as important as various time measures.

Statistic Approach

Convergence among several indices of personality-item difficulty was assessed. Controversiality, item response variance, response time, and difficulty ratings showed consistent convergence, while ambiguity did not. Variance analyses indicated that the usual item-statistic approach (collapsing over Ss) results in the loss of considerable variance from the original item X persons data matrix.

Nowadays, the manufacturing industry is constantly changing. Production systems must operate in a highly dynamic environment where unexpected events could occur and create disruption, making rescheduling inevitable for manufacturing companies. Rescheduling models are fundamental to the robustness of production processes. This paper proposes a model to address rescheduling caused by unexpected events, aiming to achieve the zero-defect manufacturing (ZDM) concept. The goal of the model is to incorporate traditional and ZDM–oriented events into one methodology to calculate when the next rescheduling will be performed to effectively react to unexpected events. The methodology relies on the definition of two key time parameters for each event type: event response time (RT) and event delay response time (DRT). Based on these parameters, an event management algorithm is designed to identify the optimal rescheduling solution. The DRT parameter is calculated based on a multi-parametric dynamic formula to capture the dynamics of production. Moreover, ANOM, and ANOVA methods are used to analyse the behaviour of the developed method and to assess the level of robustness of the proposed approach. Finally, a case study based on real production scenarios is conducted, a series of simulation experiments are performed, and comparisons with other rescheduling policies are presented. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed event management algorithm for managing rescheduling.

Accurate modelling of flood flow hydrographs in ungauged catchments is a challenging task due to large errors in the estimation of its response time using existing empirical equations. The time of concentration (Tc) is a key catchment response time parameter needed for forecasting of the peak discharge rate and the timing of the flood event. At least eight different definitions have been presented in the literature for the time of concentration. In this study, a new definition of “Reference Tc” is presented along with a practical procedure for its estimation using readily available basin catchment characteristic parameters with the aim of standardizing this key parameter for practitioners. Nine different empirical models were calibrated and tested on nine catchments of the Credit River watershed, Ontario, Canada to determine which method would provide the most accurate prediction of the Reference Tc. The NRCS velocity method (1986) proved once again to be the most reliable and an accurate method. This study shows that the main reason for the higher accuracy of the NRCS velocity method predictions compared to the empirical equations is attributed to the inclusion of the Manning's roughness coefficient.

This paper deals with the CALORRE differential calorimeter patented by Aix-Marseille University and the CEA in 2015. Firstly, the paper focuses on the presentation of the first prototype of CALORRE calorimeter qualified under real conditions during the MARIA irradiation campaign in 2015. Then, a review of the studies restricted to one CALORRE calorimetric cell realized thanks to experimental characterizations under laboratory conditions is detailed. Several configurations were studied to determine the influence of the cell height, its horizontal fin geometry and the nature of the material of its structure on its response for a calibration protocol: linearity, sensitivity, range, reproducibility, response time and absolute temperatures. Finally, within the framework of the new CALORI project, an optimization of the calorimeter assembly and its design were carried out in order to remove contact thermal resistances and provide a new configuration of CALORRE calorimeter suited for the in-core water loop of the MIT reactor (2 W.g-1). The response of this new calorimeter is estimated thanks to thermal simulations.

1. The definition of “normal” stars in spectral classification changes with time; at the time of the publication of theYerkes Spectral Atlasthe term “normal” was applied to stars whose spectra could be fitted smoothly into a two-dimensional array. Thus, at that time, weak-lined spectra (RR Lyrae and HD 140283) would have been considered peculiar. At the present time we would tend to classify such spectra as “normal”—in a more complicated classification scheme which would have a parameter varying with metallic-line intensity within a specific spectral subdivision.

An ideal definition of a reference coordinate system should meet the following general requirements:1. It should be as conceptually simple as possible, so its philosophy is well understood by the users.2. It should imply as few physical assumptions as possible. Wherever they are necessary, such assumptions should be of a very general character and, in particular, they should not be dependent upon astronomical and geophysical detailed theories.3. It should suggest a materialization that is dynamically stable and is accessible to observations with the required accuracy.

Original Type

No paper of this nature should begin without a definition of symbiotic stars. It was Paul Merrill who, borrowing on his botanical background, coined the termsymbioticto describe apparently single stellar systems which combine the TiO absorption of M giants (temperature regime ≲ 3500 K) with He II emission (temperature regime ≳ 100,000 K). He and Milton Humason had in 1932 first drawn attention to three such stars: AX Per, CI Cyg and RW Hya. At the conclusion of the Mount Wilson Ha emission survey nearly a dozen had been identified, and Z And had become their type star. The numbers slowly grew, as much because the definition widened to include lower-excitation specimens as because new examples of the original type were found. In 1970 Wackerling listed 30; this was the last compendium of symbiotic stars published.
