Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPlan, do, Study, Act Cycles, as an Alternate to Action Research for Clinically Based InquiryBernadette Ivy Eather, Mary Elizabeth Chiarella, Judith DonoghueAction Research has long been the method of choice when undertaking research in clinical practice improvement. It is a method aimed at engendering ownership by the participants in order to sustain practice change. Plan, Do, Study, Act cycles (PDSA) also provide a cyclical approach to clinical practice improvement research and focus the clinical team around a specific problem. Through focus … …International Journal of Research in Nursing, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 11 Sep 2013 · 18,433 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe Effectiveness of Quality Circle Participation in Industrial and Service Organizations in MalaysiaT. R. Abo-Alhol, M. Y. Ismail, S. M. Sapuan, M. M. HamdanQuality Circle (QC) proponents suggest a wide array of positive results when this participation technique is used either in manufacturing or in service sector. This study is to determine whether QCs in one sector are performing more effectively than the other. This assessment includes technical aspects, length of participation, training, members' feelings about QCs, job satisfaction and job commitment. The … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 6 Mar 2005 · 7,406 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsBEST PRACTICES FOR HAND HYGIENE COMPLIANCE BY HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS IN THE INPATIENT SETTINGCynthia C. AkpakaThis study discusses the strategies that have proven successful in improving adherence to hand hygiene policies among health care providers working in acute care, inpatient settings. Review of literature suggests that while some efforts to improve hand hygiene compliance have focused on environmental engineering other efforts have focused mostly on broad-based educational and motivational initiatives, such as online educational programs … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 14 May 2014 · 7,322 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAn Approach from Knowledge Dust to Gems (Knowledge Management)Praveen Kumar, Satish ChhokarProblem statement: Most businesses rely on the fact that their employees possess relevant knowledge and that they can apply it to the task at hand. The problem is that this knowledge is not owned by the organization. It is owned and controlled by its employees. Maintaining an appropriate level of knowledge in the organization is a very important issue. It … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 25 Feb 2011 · 6,738 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA Fast Series Active Filter using Sliding Mode Control to Correct and Regulate Unbalance Voltage in Three-Phase SystemTheerayuth ChatchanayuenyongProblem statement: A Sliding Mode Controller (SMC) with fast reference voltage generation to correct and regulate unbalance voltage in three-phase system was proposed. Approach: The compensation algorithm was not based on three-symmetrical component decomposition so the controller can yield a fast response that was essential in such a critical real time control work. The reference voltages were fed to the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,221 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Wheat Bran, EM Bacteria, Ammonium Nitrate and Fungal Additives on Fermentation and Forage Quality of Rice Straw SilageBin Yang, Jiahuan Liu, Dongmei Ma et al.The global ruminant industry is constrained by a persistent shortage of high-quality roughage, thus rendering the bioconversion of agricultural residues, such as rice straw, a critical priority. Nevertheless, the high lignification, silicification, and nitrogen deficiency of rice straw pose significant biological barriers to traditional ensiling. This study investigated the impact of various additives on rice straw silage quality. Six treatments … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2026 · 642 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Maize Potato Intercropping and Different Fertilization Methods on Rhizosphere Soil Microorganisms and Yield of PotatoHuanjin Ma, Shengguang Xu et al.A field experiment with three replicates was conducted to explore the effects of maize-potato intercropping and different nitrogen application strategies on rhizosphere soil microorganisms and potato yield. Microbial community analysis was based on relative abundance. Maize-potato intercropping improves land use efficiency, yet how differentiated nitrogen management regulates rhizosphere microecology and potato productivity in this system remains unclear. Clarifying nitrogen-mediated shifts … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 3 · 14 Sep 2026 · 790 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of CTLA-4 Inhibitor Combined with Chemotherapy on Immunoglobulin Levels and General Condition in Breast Cancer PatientsRuiguang CaiThis study conducted an evaluation of the CTLA-4 inhibitor ipilimumab plus standard chemotherapy on immunoglobulin levels, performance status, and Quality of Life (QoL) in patients with stage I-III Breast Cancer (BC) via a randomized controlled trial. 120 patients with stage I-III BC were randomly allocated to the experimental group (chemotherapy + ipilimumab) and the control group (chemotherapy), and the treatment … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 2 · 3 Jul 2026 · 1,115 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractArtificial Intelligence in Quality Control: Transforming Manufacturing ProcessesGopinath KathiresanThe integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into Quality Control (QC) is transforming manufacturing by enhancing accuracy, efficiency, and productivity. Traditional QC methods, reliant on manual inspection and basic automation, often fall short in addressing the complexities of modern production environments. This paper presents a review on the application of AI, particularly machine learning, deep learning, and reinforcement learning, in manufacturing … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 12 Feb 2026 · 6,492 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Context-Aware Temporal Convolutional Network for Water Replacement Prediction in Catfish Biofloc Ponds With Imbalanced Event HandlingYaddarabullah, Inanpi Hidayati Sumiasih, Mutiara Dewi PuspitawatiWater replacement is a biologically critical yet under-automated decision in biofloc-based aquaculture systems. Mistimed actions can destabilize microbial ecosystems, elevate fish mortality, and compromise sustainability through excessive water usage. Traditional rule-based heuristics often fail to account for the nonlinear and multiscale dynamics of pond environments. To address this, we propose a Context-Aware Temporal Convolutional Network (CA-TCN), a rare-event classification framework … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 3 · 5 Mar 2026 · 1,664 accessesView PDFCite
