Measuring safety climate is regarded a proactive approach to safety management. With increased focus on developing indicators for major accidents, there is a need to critically assess the effectiveness of current practices in providing early warning signals for organizations at risk. The main...
The purpose of this study was to develop an image-based method for registration of real-time 3-D ultrasound to computed tomography (CT) of the abdominal aorta, targeting future use in ultrasound-guided endovascular intervention. We proposed a method in which a surface model of the aortic wall was...
A novel multiscale method for multiphase flow in heterogeneous fractured porous media is devised. The discrete fine-scale system is described using an embedded fracture modeling approach, in which the heterogeneous rock (matrix) and highly-conductive fractures are represented on independent grids...
Pain Body Maps are promising tools for patients with advanced cancer. We briefly present Computerised Pain Body Maps from the literature, and contrast them with our own CPBM specifically designed for this patient group. Furthermore, we ponder the fact that current CPBMs do not really offer any more...
The management of airborne emissions from silicon and ferrosilicon production is, in many ways, similar to the management of airborne emissions from other metallurgical industries, but certain challenges are highly branch-specific, for example the dust types generated and the management of NOx...
Purpose: To present an emerging innovative care model that supports participation and thriving by older adults in residential care, by introduction to new technology and mobilizing volunteer services. Design: Qualitative, exploratory study, introducing tablet computers to 15 older adults in...
To further understanding of the role of sodium in carbon cathode degradation in Hall–Héroult cells, potential-energy surfaces and charge-transfer curves are presented for finite-size complexes of sodium intercalated between various polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Calculations for lithium and...
... This review study mainly focuses on the application of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) in the investigation of gas-solids multiphase flow systems and one would get a general overview of gas-solids flow models by having an insight to this...
