Option Price Model and Evaluation of Time Saving Effect for Emergency Patient of Heat Stroke

The services of emergency patients play a very important role based on the principle of â€™time saving is life savingâ€™. This means that all actions taken during an emergency condition must be truly effective and efficient. This is reminiscent of the condition that people can lose their lives just in minutes. Response time depends on the speed available as well as the quality of providing assistance to save lives/prevent disability. There are many factors that influence nurses' response time which are education level, knowledge, length of work, and training. To know factors related to nurse-responded time on handling of emergency patient in IGD Room at Sawerigading Hospital. The research design used was cross-sectional analytic correlation. The respondents were all nurses implementing in IGD Room at Sawerigading Hospital. The population is this study were 31 nurses in IGD Room at Sawerigading Hospital and were selected using total sampling method. . Data analysis used chi-square test. There is a long working relationship with nurse respond time on emergency patient handling (value Ï = 0,014 <Î± = 0,05). There is norelationship of education with nurse time responder (value Ï = 0,729> Î± = 0,05). There is no relationship of gadar training with nurse respond time (value Ï = 0,307> Î± = 0,05). Factors related to nurse respond time on handling of emergency patient in IGD Room at Sawerigading Hospital that is long work. Therefore, the quality of service in the ER should also be improved through improvement efforts concerning with resources, facilities, procedures, services, and other technical aspects.

Offshore Plants

As the scale of offshore plants has gradually increased, the amount of management points has significantly increased. Therefore, there are needs for innovative process control, quality management, and an installation support system to improve productivity and efficiency for timely construction. In this paper, we introduce a novel approach to deal with these issues using augmented reality (AR) technology. The core of successful AR implementation is up to scene matching through accurate pose (position and alignment) estimation using an AR camera. To achieve this, this paper first introduces an accurate marker registration technique that can be used in huge structures. In order to improve the precision of marker registration, we propose a method that utilizes the natural feature points and the marker corner points in the optimization step simultaneously. Subsequently, a method of precisely generating AR scenes by utilizing these registered markers is described. Finally, to validate the proposed method, the best practices and its effects are introduced. Based on the proposed AR system, construction workers are now able to quickly navigate to onboard destinations by themselves. In addition, they are able to intuitively install and inspect outfitting parts without paper drawings. Through field tests and surveys, we confirm that AR-based inspection has a significant time-saving effect compared to conventional drawing-based inspection.

AbstractLatest simultaneous multi-slice (SMS) methods greatly benefit MR efficiency for recent studies using parallel imaging technique. However, these methods are limited by the requirement of array coils. The proposed Coherent Wideband method, which employs an extended field of view to separate multiple excited slices, can be applied to any existing MRI instrument, even those without array coils. In this study, the Coherent Wideband echo-planar imaging method was implemented on 7 T animal MRI to exhibit comprehensive enhancements in neuro-architecture, including diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and functional MR studies (fMRI). Under the same scan time, the time-saving effect can be manipulated to increase the number of averages for DTI SNR improvement, reducing fractional anisotropy difference by 56.9% (from 0.072 to 0.041) and the deviation angle by 64% (from 25.3° to 16.2°). In summary, Coherent Wideband Echo Planar Imaging (EPI) will provide faster, higher resolution, thinner slice, or higher SNR imaging for precision neuro-architecture studies.
