Abstract Introduction The objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) with standardized patients is commonly accepted as a reliable assessment of clinical skills.Simulation allows learners the Recorders opportunity to experience conditions and perform procedures in a safe, standardized environment.This OSCE case incorporates both the standardi

In this work, preliminary results of the use of hydrophobic thin films obtained by plasma deposition to protect grains and seeds are presented: Bronzer grains coated by the films did not present biological degradation when stored in a saturated water vapor environment, but had their germination accelerated in the presence of water.A model that expl

Sensors are prone to malfunction, leading to Toner blank or erroneous measurements that cannot be ignored in most practical applications.Therefore, data users are always looking for efficient methods to substitute missing values with accurate estimations.Traditionally, empirical methods have been used for this purpose, but with the increasing acces

The present study Indiana investigates the influence of hygrothermal ageing on the tribological behaviour of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) polymer composites.Three PTFE composites along with unfilled PTFE were tested in sliding contact against Inconel 625 (a Ni-based alloy) plates in both dry and water-lubricated conditions, utilising a unidirecti

In a knowledge-based economy, products and organizations survive and expire based on knowledge.The most successful organizations are those who use this intangible asset better and faster.Today, social capital and knowledge are used to create and increase organizational value, and the success of an organization depends on its ability to manage these
