On quasi-Pr\"{u}fer and UM domains
In this note we show that an integral domain of finite -dimension is a
quasi-Pr\"{u}fer domain if and only if each overring of is a -Jaffard
domain. Similar characterizations of quasi-Pr\"{u}fer domains are given by
replacing -Jaffard domain by -stably strong S-domain, and -strong
S-domain. We also give new characterizations of UM domains.Comment: 6 Page
Review of sensors for remote patient monitoring
Remote patient monitoring (RPM) of physiological
measurements can provide an efficient method and high
quality care to patients. The physiological signals
measurement is the initial and the most important factor
in RPM. This paper discusses the characteristics of the
most popular sensors, which are used to obtain vital
clinical signals in prevalent RPM systems.
The sensors discussed in this paper are used to measure
ECG, heart sound, pulse rate, oxygen saturation, blood
pressure and respiration rate, which are treated as the
most important vital data in patient monitoring and
medical examination
Coach Travel Safety Analysis Matrix (CTSAM): A tool for analysing safety of children travelling by coaches in the UK
Coach based school transportation is a less investigated area in the continent of United Kingdom. Though they are considered the safest mode of transport for children, coaches have a significantly high number of fatalities per accident. There are a limited number of studies which have implemented qualitative interviews to analyse the safety of children travelling in coaches but no standard methods were followed to prepare the questions for the interviews. There are no standard methods available to analyse the safety of children travelling in coaches in the UK. To rectify this issue, an interview guide called Coach Travel Safety Analysis Matrix is proposed in this paper. It is based on the Haddon Matrix which is used as a standard tool to analyze bus and coach accidents. The proposed matrix can be utilised to frame questions for the qualitative interviews to systematically analyse the safety of children travelling in the coaches in the UK. As this matrix is generic, it can also be used in continents other than the UK
