Quality chest compressions during Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) are vital to maintaining adequate perfusion of oxygenated blood to the organs of the body to sustain life. Over the years, the compression rate recommended in Basic Life Support (BLS)/ Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) protocols for the best possible outcome has risen, and with that increase there are questions regarding rescuer fatigue and the effectiveness of compressions. Layperson and professional rescuers, answering to an emergency, both maintain continuous chest compressions until advanced life support arrives. Depe

This thesis presents a robust method for estimating the relaxations of a metallic object from its electromagnetic induction (EMI) response. The EMI response of a metallic object can be accurately modeled by a sum of real decaying exponentials. However, it is diffcult to obtain the model parameters from measurements when the number of exponentials in the sum is unknown or the terms are strongly correlated. Traditionally, the time constants and residues are estimated by nonlinear iterative search that often leads to unsatisfactory results. In this thesis, a constrained linear method of estimatin

Abstract:
Emergency medical services (EMS) personnel experience direct traumatic exposure that can leave a lasting negative impact. However, little is known about the vicarious exposure that EMS personnel experience at challenging calls when family and loved ones are present at the scene. Additionally, there is minimal research that has looked at the experiences among paramedics and EMTs who arrive to mental disturbance calls or completed suicides. In order to add to the substantial body of literature on EMS personnel and traumatic exposure, this study explored their experiences of multifaceted traumati

Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Technology: Emergency Medical Care, Durban University of Technology, 2014.<br>Introduction: The Emergency Medical Service (EMS) is required to respond to cases of life threatening illness or injury which may later be found to be non-emergent thus creating a mismatch between the dispatch of limited EMS resources and actual patient need. This study proposed that such a mismatch presently exists among South African urban EMS systems resulting in unacceptably high levels of inappropriate emergency responses. The purpose of thi

In this part, Delta-sigma modulator has noise-shaping technique to shift the noise to high frequency. Finally, the signal pass the output capacitor to filtered high frequency noise. Let the system have low EMI. It is applied to communication system. The proposed low EMI boost converter has been fabricated with TSMC 0.18μm CMOS 1P6M process, the total chip area is 0.65 mm2 with PADs. In the next part of this thesis improves the firs

Many studies have depicted the benefits of restorative environments on human psychological and physical effects. However, the effect of various kinds of the characteristics of the restorative environment is still unknown. Therefore, this study proposed the following three research purposes: 1.To realize the effect of different characteristics

Bacterial wilt (BW, caused by Ralstonia solanacearum or Rs) and water deficit (WD) are very important factors limiting crop production worldwide. The aim of this work was to study function of a tomato zinc-finger protein SlZFP (a C3HC4-RING finger protein) and a Solanaceae gene encoding 5-epi-aristolochene synthase (EAS) in biotic and abiotic stresses. Previously, SlZFP was suggested to involve in tomato BW defense mechanism by virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS). This stu

碩士<br>國立中山大學<br>機械與機電工程學系研究所<br>104<br>In recent centuries, the average life expectancy has significantly increased. Our society is thus becoming an aging society. Therefore, the nursing problem for elder people has received a lot of attention. When people get older, their muscle strength, focus ability, and physical strength inevitable decline. As a result, the risk of falling increases significantly with aging. Since falling is an independent risk factor of death for elder people, preventing falling by evaluating the balance ability has becoming an important issue. To toward this goal, dynam
