Mary Merryweather was the first Lady superintendent of Liverpool's first school of nursing. The school was a pioneer in nurse training at the very moment the definition of modern nursing was becoming fixed. She went on to manage the school of nursing at the Westminster hospital in London, at a time of great change and controversy. In addition to this she was very active in the fields of womens' health, womens' suffrage and the rights of women to a career. She was a friend to numerous Victorian feminist notables and was published in a variety of feminist Publications

Quality of nurse training programs requires clinical evaluation. The purpose of this study was to achieve a perspective of realities from viewpoint of nursing students during their internship and clerkship. This study was descriptive and quantitative; 180 nurse inters and nursing unit clerks were enrolled for the study. Data was collected using a researcher made questionnaire. Content validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by a group of faculty members and clinical professors; reliability of the questionnaire was confirmed by Cronbach's alpha (0.89). The questionnaire consisted of two parts; demographic data and data related to clinical evaluation in four areas including content of evaluation, the role of instructor in evaluation, evaluation process and outcome of evaluation. The questionnaire was scored on a five-point Likert scale from always to never. At the end, there were two open questions about suggestions on clinical evaluation. Data were analyzed by SPSS22, descriptive and analytic statistics. Results showed that nurse interns evaluated the instructor as good (4.05 ± 0.06), evaluation content as average (3.65 ± 0.06), evaluation process as average (2.77 ± 0.76) and outcome of evaluation as poor (2.41 ± 0.69). Nursing unit clerks evaluated the instructor as good (3.84 ± 0.59), evaluation content as average (3.51 ± 0.68), evaluation process as average (2.60 ± 0.78) and outcome of evaluation as poor (2.56 ± 0.63). According to the results, quality of clinical evaluation of nursing students requires a review in existing processes and tools, as well as revision in programs and clinical evaluations by planners and instructors.

A great change in mechanical industry has occurred after several successful practices using MBD (Model Based Definition) of The Boeing Company. It is an inevitable trend from two-dimensional product definition to three-dimensional product definition in mechanical industry. Several standards for MBD have emerged around the world. This paper explores the non-revolved parts modeling methods based on MBD and Pro/ENGINEER, presents several key steps about full-annotated model per MBD and then makes a conclusion. Following these methods we successfully build a typical non-revolved model which conforms to MBD standards correctly and efficiently.

A great change in mechanical industry has occurred after several successful practices using MBD (Model Based Definition) of The Boeing Company. It is an inevitable trend from two-dimensional product definition to three-dimensional product definition in mechanical industry. In China, two-dimensional design is widely used, and many enterprises have started to use three-dimensional design. Several standards for MBD have emerged around the world. This paper takes the planet shelf in planet driver system as an example, explores the revolved parts modeling methods based on MBD and Pro ENGINEER, and then makes a conclusion. Following these methods we can build a model which conforms to MBD standards correctly and efficiently.

Diversity initiatives are being implemented widely within academia and society more broadly; however, the School of Nursing (SoN) at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, is taking an innovative approach. Faculty members recognized the need to support students at the graduate and undergraduate levels from Black, Indigenous, LGBTQ2S (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Two-Spirit), and International communities in a student-led initiative with the mission to promote diversity, inclusion, and equity within the SoN. This coalition seeks to offer students who are often rendered invisible within the academy and society more broadly in relation to dominant cultures and normative expectations an opportunity to build relationships and expose shared histories of oppression in such a way that issues of social justice are uncovered. In response to nursing students and faculty who self-identify as members of dominant groups and who sought inclusion as allies, the leaders of the student community groups recognized a need to develop a position statement on allyship. The collaboration that transpired between the four groups of communities to develop the position statement led to the formation of the Student Equity Coalition. This article begins with the authors' definition of allyship, followed by a description of the context in which this unique initiative is taking place, the rationale behind developing a shared position statement on allyship, and the significance of this work in positioning and supporting nursing students of minority status as emerging nurse leaders.

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.

Earth Dynamics

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.

Definition Of

During the past investigations of immunoferritin localization of intracellular antigens in ultrathin frozen sections, we found that the degree of negative staining required to delineate u1trastructural details was often too dense for the recognition of ferritin particles. The quality of positive staining of ultrathin frozen sections, on the other hand, has generally been far inferior to that attainable in conventional plastic embedded sections, particularly in the definition of membranes. As we discussed before, a main cause of this difficulty seemed to be the vulnerability of frozen sections to the damaging effects of air-water surface tension at the time of drying of the sections.Indeed, we found that the quality of positive staining is greatly improved when positively stained frozen sections are protected against the effects of surface tension by embedding them in thin layers of mechanically stable materials at the time of drying (unpublished).

Numerous studies have dealt with the cytochemical localization of cytochrome oxidase via cytochrome c. More recent studies have dealt with indicating initial foci of this reaction by altering incubation pH (1) or postosmication procedure (2,3). The following study is an attempt to locate such foci by altering membrane permeability. It is thought that such alterations within the limits of maintaining morphological integrity of the membranes will ease the entry of exogenous substrates resulting in a much quicker oxidation and subsequently a more precise definition of the oxidative reaction.The diaminobenzidine (DAB) method of Seligman et al. (4) was used. Minced pieces of rat liver were incubated for 1 hr following toluene treatment (5,6). Experimental variations consisted of incubating fixed or unfixed tissues treated with toluene and unfixed tissues treated with toluene and subsequently fixed.
