An investigation of the influence of radiographic malpositioning and image processing algorithm selection on ICU/CCU chest radiographs
… considers how the technical quality of the ICU/CCU chest radiography can impact upon the appearance of chest tubes/lines and how that appearance can impact on the decision making. Results show that the methods used in the chest phantom experiment to estimate the degree of angulation have a large …

Optimization Boosts Decarbonization: Accelerating Net Zero from the Perspective of Carbon Capture and Utilization
… (CCS) as well as carbon capture and utilization (CCU). While CCS is more relevant to electricity production, CCU is compatible with the existing downstream processes of the oil and gas industry – the chemicals sector. CCU will be the focus in this thesis. Optimization is applied to explore the …

Patient Satisfaction Related to Noise in the Coronary Care Unit
<p><strong>Background</strong> The CCU staff recognized a department trend for low patient-satisfaction score related to environmental noise levels. Based on the Press Ganey score, the patient-satisfaction score plummeted in relation to noise level beginning in March 2014.</p> …

Economic and Environmental Assessment of an Integrated Carbon Capture and Utilization Pathway
… referred to as carbon capture and utilization (CCU), is receiving growing momentum globally. Many proposals for CCU technologies assume that the capture and utilization facilities are geographically isolated, necessitating transport of captured CO2 and raising questions on the economic and …

Preparation of CO2 adsorbents and techno-economic analysis for CO2 capture and utilization
… 273 K. <br/><br/>Carbon capture and utilisation (CCU) is more attractive as CO2 is a used carbon source to produce chemicals or fuels, which can reduce the cost of the technology. However, CCU also leads to high costs from the sorbents desorption and CO2 utilization. To further improve CCU, the …

Verification and implementation of a multiple retransmission technique for a one-way asynchronous communication channel
… section for the IVDS Consumer Control Unit (CCU) was designed and constructed. This was an important step towards the completion of the IVDS system. The CCU design defined protocols for message format and error detection and also helped to establish an IVDS test-bed system.

The Effect of 72 Consecutive Hours in the Coronary Care Unit on the Night Sleep of 10 Patients Age 65 and Older
… care units (Gsell, 1977). Changes which occur in the process of aging and in cardiac disease should be considered when providing nursing care to these patients. A disturbance in the sleep wakefulness cycle resulting in a decrease of restorative sleep is a major change occurring at age 65 …

CO2 Dissociation using the Versatile Atmospheric Dielectric Barrier Discharge Experiment (VADER)
… (CCS) and Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU). CCS is the process of collecting CO2 using absorbers or chemicals, extracting the gas from those absorbers and finally pumping the gas into reservoirs. CCU on the other hand, is the process of reacting CO2 to form value added chemicals, which …

Universal conductance fluctuations, glassy kinetics, and 1/f noise
The 1/f noise in strongly disordered metallic CCu and SiAu systems was studied in the temperature range 2-300 K. The temperature, frequency, and electric and magnetic field dependencies were found to be consistent with the predictions of the universal conductance fluctuation theory in the low …

Ethical Decision-Making among Critical Care Unit Nurses
… medical technology have put critical care unit (CCU) nurses in complex environments where they must face ethical conflict. CCU nurses find themselves ill equipped to make sound decisions concerning ethical dilemmas. Nurses must ensure the patient's choices are respected and honored due to the …

Patient controlled analgesia and the assessment and control of pain in a coronary care unit
… of cardiac pain in a coronary care unit (CCU).<br/><br/>Adequate assessment of pain is a fundamental step in its management. Within this study the process of communication with patients who had cardiac pain was assessed by measuring the duration, frequency and content of verbal …

Effect of pumpkin seed (cucurbita pepo) protein isolate on the antioxidant enzymes in ccl4-induced liver injury in low-protein fed rats
… phosphatase (ALP) against carbon tetrachloride (CCU)-induced acute liver injury in low-protein fed rats were investigated. A group of male Sprague-Dawley rats which were maintained on a low-protein diet for five days were divided into three subgroups. Two subgroups were injected with carbon …

Social isolation in intubated and nonintubated patients in the ICU
… of the initial shift assessments in the MICU and CCU of a large county hospital. A total of 33 periods of interaction, 15 with intubated patients and 18 with nonintubated patients, were observed. The Nurse-Patient Interaction Tool was used to describe and record the content of interaction. …
