Abstract:
It has been widely accepted that noise levels in hospitals are typically higher than the guidelines. This research aims to systematically investigate the sound field in critical care environment, develop the prediction models, and explore the acoustic effects on patients and staff. The Critical Care Units at two local NHS hospitals have been selected for case studies. Three core categories with plenty of interactions were identified by means of grounded theory for the acoustic environment, namely 'time-dependant sounds', 'role-dependant people' and 'departmental-dependant space', and the impro

Abstract:
This thesis explores the concept of creating safety critical networks with low congestion and latency (known as critical networking) for real time critical communication (safety critical environment). Critical networking refers to the dynamic management of all the application demands in a network within all available network bandwidth, in order to avoid congestion. Critical networking removes traffic congestion and delay to provide quicker response times. A Deterministic Ethernet communication system in a Safety Critical environment addresses the disorderly Ethernet traffic condition inherent

Abstract:
Many manufacturing firms, driven by the goal of beating the competition, have relocated their manufacturing operations from a high to a low cost environment, creating issues for the western social welfare. In order to maintain manufacturing in high cost environments, firms located in such environments must improve their competitiveness. Research has shown that firms need to be able to identify, develop and improve the operations capabilities that have the highest impact on the competitiveness. However, there is presently no coherent and contemporary framework of operations capabilities in the

I began this investigation with the presupposition that the MT of Micah offered us a valid object upon which to apply the methodology of rhetorical criticism. The examination of the text proceeded along the lines of two emphases: (1) a structural analysis which studied the various blocks of material in order to describe a unity or cohesiveness in Micah, and (2) a thematic approach which identified underlying images which tend to enhance the coherence of the work. I used these two methodologies to address both pericopes and also larger units and even to discuss the book itself. Two other method

Abstract:
In order to cope with more realistic production scenarios, scheduling theory has been increasingly considering assembly job shops. Such an effort has raised synchronization of operations and components as a major scheduling issue. Most effective priority rules designed for assembly shops have incorporated measures to improve coordination when scheduling assembly structures. However, by assuming a forward loading, the priority rules designed by these studies schedule all operations as soon as possible, which often leads to an increase of the workin- progress level.
