Float RNs: Unit Specific Tools to Promote a More Positive Float Experience
… hospitals have established a core of internal float pool RNs as a practical and cost effective solution to address the rapidly evolving RN staffing needs (Linzer, Tilley, & Williamson, 2011; Roach et al., 2011; The Joint Commission [TJC], 2004).</p> <p>Although the concept of <em>floating</em> …

Mechanical characterisation of float and laminated glass
… of glass, particularly laminated glass (LG) and float glass (FG), which are the most commonly used types in various applications. Despite its growth, the understanding of the structural behaviour of glass and mechanical properties is still not as advanced as that of other construction materials …

Observing Wave Propagation of a Float Serve on a Volleyball
There has been research that has determined that the drag forces on a non-spinning volleyball's boundary layer causes the ball to swerve on its trajectory. The purpose of this paper is to develop a numerical model for wave propagation on a volleyball, which we model as a smooth sphere, to show that …

The Determination Of Ocean Correlation Scales Using Argo Float Data
The scales over which ocean properties vary play a critical role in the assimilation of ocean data. Previous studies do not explore these scales in great detail and pre-Argo observations limited investigations to the upper ocean (<500m). In this study Argo data have been used to develop a method of …

Float Nurses’ Association with Nurse Sensitive Indicators: A Cross-Sectional Study
Floating is a common nurse staffing strategy, yet its effects on nurse-sensitive indicators (NSIs) remain largely unexplored. The study aimed to evaluate the effects of two distinct forms of floating: nurses from dedicated float pools and unit-based nurses temporarily assigned to other units. Using …

All about alles: The syntax of wh-quantifier float in German
… an in-depth investigation of “wh-quantifier float” of the quantifying particle ‘alles’ in German. 'Alles' (etymologically, ‘all’) appears in wh-questions like 'Wen alles hat die Mare eingeladen?' (‘Who-all did Mare invite?’). The thesis focuses on the syntactic distribution of 'alles'. …

Investing in the Float Pool: A Cost Effective Alternative for Staffing Shortages
… shortages. Research suggests that utilizing the float pool provides a cost-effective alternative that has the potential to save the organization millions of dollars per year. This project aims to explore the financial impact of the float pool by increasing the volume of nurses by 50% within six …

Ecology and Management of Pythium species in Float Greenhouse Tobacco Transplant Production
… can cause up to 70% seedling loss in hydroponic (float-bed) greenhouses. However, the symptoms and consequences of Pythium diseases are often variable among these greenhouses. A tobacco transplant greenhouse survey was conducted in 2017 in order to investigate the sources of this variability, …

Bookkeeping Procedures for the Application of the Concept of Pre-Allocation of Total Float
… delays. As per the current scheduling practices, float is considered free. It is an expiring resource and hence the party to the use the float first owns the float. The concept endorsed by the court for analyzing delay claims is the proximate cause concept. As per this concept, the party which is …

Implementing A Workload Tool To Increase Float Nurses' Job Satisfaction And Reduce Intent To Leave The Workplace
<p>Float nurses report frustration and dissatisfaction with their patient assignment distribution on a continual basis; citing that they often receive the highest workload and most acute patients. This experience is closely related to nurses’ job satisfaction with an established association between …

An Enhanced RCS Heuristic and an Enhanced RCPM Algorithm to Perform Delay Analysis in Schedules without Phantom Float
… activities. However, the concepts of total float and critical path lose their significance after applying resource-constrained scheduling (RCS) methodologies. RCS techniques solve the resource conflicts but create phantom float in the schedules (i.e., a float that does not exist). RCS …

A Comprehensive Practice of Total Float Pre-Allocation and Management for the Application of A CPM-Based Construction Contract
… parties commonly attempt to appropriate float time shown in the CPM schedules in order to advance their own interests. Under current scheduling practices, float time is considered "free" and therefore does not belong to any one party in the construction process. As a result of this …

The potential of QEMSCAN in predicting coal washability of Mpumalanga coals
Traditional float and sink analyses are undertaken to determine the washability of coal. Float and sink analyses are costly, require toxic heavy organic liquids and the procedure to wash and dry the float and discard fractions is lengthy. QEMSCAN has the ability to characterise particle density …

Short Interest and the Cross-Section of S&P500 Share Returns
… in relation to both trading volume and equity float for an 84-month period between January 2015 and December 2021 to examine the expected negative relationship. The use of the Fama-Macbeth (1973) method produces mixed empirical findings. The results of the short interest ratio do not support …

Thermal ionization energy of lithium and lithium-oxygen complexes in single-crystal silicon
… of oxygen in the silicon. It was found that for float-zone crystals, having a relatively low oxygen content (less than 10¹⁶ cm⁻³), the ionization energy was about 32 meV, whereas for a pulled-crucible crystal, having a higher oxygen concentration (approximately 10¹⁸ cm⁻³), the ionization energy …

Self-assembly of biological heteropolymers
… numerical model for a device that manipulates float-attached wires with capillary interactions between the walls of the device and the float. We use this model to rationalize design rules for the device, and to predict the motion of the float in non-trivial geometries. Finally, we study the …

The fluid mechanics of floating and sinking
… thesis is concerned with the fluid mechanics of floating and sinking. More specifically, the majority of this thesis considers the role played by surface tension in allowing dense objects to float. We first derive the conditions under which objects can float at an interface between two fluids. We …
