...Perfection Operating Room Etiquette: Preparing for Perfection Patient safety plays an intricate role in the nursing profession. It is through the foundation of a germ free environment in which protocols are set in an effort to decrease patient morbidity and mortality. The operating room (OR) is a major sector of hospitals in which its core is maintaining an environment of sterility in an effort to reduce hospital acquired infections or surgical wound infections (Duncan & Mayo, 2004). The OR is a fast paced nursing specialty requiring expert training and mentorship for perspective candidates. According to Burnette (2007), nursing students felt like they were not adequately trained for the complexity of the OR during nursing school. As an effort to combat this, The Methodist Hospital began the Methodist Advancement into Professional Practice Program (MAPP). MAPP students are senior professional nursing school students with an interest of pursuing a career as an OR nurse. The internship is an aggressive two month program focusing on the skills required to function as a highly trained OR nurse. In an effort to uphold recommended standards and practices, the core curriculum is based on the fundamental elements of the Association of PeriOperative Nurses (AORN). During the first two weeks students began their training in a classroom setting where were introduced to the basic concepts of the OR. The next six weeks students will be engage in simulations labs of what was taught in the classroom...

...200 IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON MAGNETICS, VOL. 38, NO. 1, JANUARY 2002 Generalized Formulation for the Description of Hysteresis in Soft Magnetic Materials Paiboon Nakmahachalasint, Student Member, IEEE and Khai D. T. Ngo, Member, IEEE Abstract—This paper presents a phenomenological formulation that broadens the range of applicability of the Basso–Bertotti hysteresis model to include soft magnetic materials with very gradual saturation, such as commercial manganese-zinc (MnZn) power ferrites. The formulation also enables the Basso–Bertotti model to better characterize both the major loop and the minor loops of these soft magnetic materials. The formulation introduces a model that defines the transition between low field/minor parameter loops and high field/major loop. An explicit expression for magnetization in term of domain-wall position was synthesized to make the hysteresis model numerically attractive. The formulation was verified by experimental data of commercial MnZn ferrites. Index Terms—Hysteresis modeling, power MnZn ferrites, Preisach model, soft magnetic materials. ployed in [6], but the material treated was the hard polycrystalline hexaferrite and the issue of minor versus major loops was not addressed. Following this section, the DWM model for static hysteresis is reviewed in Section II. A domain-wall surface function suitable for power ferrites is synthesized in Section III. Emphasis is placed more on the mathematics, numerics, and formulation/implementation...

...Job Analysis / Job Description Tadiwa Njagu Professor Smith HRM530 7\27\2015 A job analysis is the process used to collect information about the duties, responsibilities, necessary skills, outcomes, and work environment of a particular job. You need as much data as possible to put together a job description, which is the frequent outcome of the job analysis. Additional outcomes include recruiting plans, position postings and advertisements, and performance development planning within your performance management system (Heathfield, 2000). Hiring a new employee(s) can be challenging and a lot work. Some bosses will just hire the first person they interview so they can get it over with, but this could be very damaging to the company. Small companies like Emery’s Landscaping cannot afford to make this mistake. They are small company of 12 employees and if someone is not pulling their weight then another person has to pick up the slack. Emery’s is a landscaping company which needs a marketing person. The goal of a market analysis is to determine the attractiveness of a market and to understand its evolving opportunities and threats as they relate to the strengths and weaknesses of the firm (Aaker, 2012). The business is growing more and more every day. Communication and commitment to our clients is a couple of our strengths. The weather is one of our weaknesses but we have no control on this. The new employee will help the company to make sure our strengths are greater than...
