A general model to compute waste disposal costs for health care products
(2015)Hospitals are large producers of solid waste. The cost of segregating and discarding products in these waste streams is high. Studies have shown there is a considerable potential to reduce these costs while simultaneously ... -
A General Purpose Constitutive Model Fitting Approach Using Inverse Methods
(2018-11-28)Computer simulation techniques such as finite element (FE) methods are used extensively to ensure functionality, reliability, and safety. The accuracy of these simulations is reliant on how accurately one can describe ... -
General Sleep Parameters and Sleep Architecture in Children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder and their Typically Developing Peers.
(2012-08-23)Polysomnography (PSG) sleep studies that compare the sleep of children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) to their typically developing (TD) peers have historically been highly inconsistent. Not only has ... -
