Australian business graduates' perceptions of non technical skills within the workplace
Year: 2017

The purpose of this paper is to explore non technical skills from the perspective of Australian business graduates who had recently made the transition from higher education into full time employment.  A mixed methods approach was applied through the use of an online survey containing closed and open ended questions pertaining to graduates' perceptions of the relative importance of non technical skills, as well as graduates' overall confidence levels in displaying these skills within the workplace. Data were analysed and further explored through 12 follow up qualitative semi structured interviews by using a constant comparative approach to identify common themes and factors.  The study revealed that the non technical skill of self management was reported as the most important skill for graduates who were managing the transition from higher education into the workforce. The non technical skills which were classified to be associated with workplace socialisation and familiarisation were rated higher than those which were classified as being related to task completion.  Graduates commencing employment within a new workplace environment can benefit from the strategies reported, which assisted with the processes of workplace socialisation and familiarisation.  Perceptions of non technical skills, from the perspective of graduates who are managing the transition process from higher education into full time employment remains a relatively unexplored area within existing literature. This study reveals new insights into the experiences of graduates who are likely to be engaged with the issues surrounding the disparity between the expectations of higher education, industry, and the graduates themselves.
High Efficiency Differential Drive CMOS Rectifier for UHF RFIDs
Venue: IEEE Journal of Solid State Circuits
Year: 2009

A high efficiency CMOS rectifier circuit for UHF RFIDs was developed. The rectifier has a cross coupled bridge configuration and is driven by a differential RF input. A differential drive active gate bias mechanism simultaneously enables both low ON resistance and small reverse leakage of diode connected MOS transistors, resulting in large power conversion efficiency (PCE) especially under small RF input power conditions. A test circuit of the proposed differential drive rectifier was fabricated with 0.18 mu m CMOS technology, and the measured performance was compared with those of other types of rectifiers. Dependence of the PCE on the input RF signal frequency, output loading conditions and transistor sizing was also evaluated. At the single stage configuration, 67.5% of PCE was achieved under conditions of 953 MHz, 12.5 dBm RF input and 10 KOmega output load. This is twice as large as that of the state of the art rectifier circuit. The peak PCE increases with a decrease in operation frequency and with an increase in output load resistance. In addition, experimental results show the existence of an optimum transistor size in accordance with the output loading conditions. The multi stage configuration for larger output DC voltage is also presented.

Moderate cardiovascular risk (38.68% predominated, followed by low risk (35.85% Conclusions Low and moderate global cardiovascular risk levels behaved similarly. High systolic blood pressure, diabetes mellitus, and hypercholesterolemia were the modifiable risk factors most associated with increased global cardiovascular risk.
A comprehensive framework to quantify energy savings potential from improved operations of commercial building stocks
Year: 2014

While studies highlight the significant impact of actions performed by occupants and facility managers on building energy performance, current policies ignore the importance of human actions and the potential energy savings from a more efficient operation of building systems. This is mainly attributed to the lack of methods that evaluate non technological drivers of energy use for large stocks of commercial buildings to support policy making efforts. Therefore, this study proposes a scientific approach to quantifying the energy savings potential due to improved operations of any stock of commercial buildings. The proposed framework combines energy modeling techniques, studies on human actions in buildings, and surveying and sampling methods. The contributions of this study to energy policy are significant as they reinforce the role of human actions in energy conservation, and support efforts to integrate operation focused solutions in energy conservation policy frameworks. The framework's capabilities are illustrated in a case study performed on the stock of office buildings in the United States (US) Results indicate a potential 21 percent reduction in the current energy use levels of these buildings through realistic changes in current building operation patterns.
Organizational climate for innovation and organizational performance: The mediating effect of innovative work behavior
Year: 2017

Despite a plethora of literature on organizational climate for innovation and the persuasive arguments establishing its link to organizational performance, few studies hitherto have explored innovative work behavior of managers. Specifically, limited attention has been paid to explaining how organizations perceive the importance of stimulating innovative work environments. Drawing from organizational climate theory, this study investigates the mediating effects of innovative work behavior on the relationship between organizational climate for innovation and organizational performance. Our findings from a survey of 202 managers working in Malaysian companies demonstrate that innovative work behavior plays a mediating role in the relationship between organizational climate for innovation and organizational performance. Implications of these findings and avenues for future research are discussed.
Software Integrity Analysis Applied to IRIO EPICS Device Support Based on FPGA Real Time DAQ Systems
Year: 2016

Nuclear fusion environments require dependability and safety analysis to ensure a reliable design and a deterministic behaviour. Failure modes identification, risk assessment and mitigation, guarantee that quality control procedures at different architectural levels comply with all the well defined prerequisites at all the commissioning stages. Therefore, exhaustive analysis based on Reliability, Availability, Maintainability and Safety (RAMS) must be an unavoidable activity in such a kind of undertaking. The results of this analysis impacts on the hardware and software development: invalidating inadequate software architectures and hardware components, and forcing a given development assurance level depending on its criticality (and thus its costs) This paper applies RAM analysis methodology for an advanced Data Acquisition System (DAQ) based on FPGA, using standards and techniques commonly used for critical systems developments. The proposed DAQ system interfaces with signals coming from different sensors, acquiring data at high sampling rates (up to hundreds of MS/s) and in some cases performing Real Time pre processing. In turn, it must provide acquired data to control system, where control loopback will be applied. This fact implies that the DAQ system shall guarantee integrity, continuity, availability and accuracy, providing with the necessary integrity level. This paper presents the analysis for the IRIO software tools as part of an EPICS IOC running under a hardware architecture compliant with the ITER catalogue for fast controllers. This analysis focuses on: RAM analysis to ensure the technical risk control and mitigation; criticality analysis and assessment of mixed critical systems for failure propagation mitigation by the usage of segregation strategies, such as virtualization techniques by using hypervisors; the IRIO Software Integrity Level (SWIL) analysis, according to nuclear critical system requirements; and software verification methodology based on source code static analysis to reduce errors present in the final product. This analysis will provide confident methodologies to be considered in future software implementations for minimizing costs and risks in such kind of nuclear environments.

The scientific assessment of teaching activities and the effect is the last step in the whole teaching process. It directly influences the objective assessment of students, and the improvement of teaching content and methods. Learning is a process of construction. People acquire knowledge through sense making. Meanwhile, humanism requires teaching to be student centered, to promote students' self learning and self fulfillment. As a result, in a new round of college English teaching assessment, how to put constructivism and humanism into effect has become the key for building a new college English teaching assessment system and model.
From seed to flour: Sowing sustainability in the use of cantaloupe melon residue (Cucumis melo L. var. reticulatus)
Venue: PloS one
Year: 2020

Reduction of waste from food industry and food services is a current concern due to the large amount of waste generated, including peels and fruit seeds. The objective of this study was to obtain a flour produced from Cantaloupe melon seeds (Cucumis melo L. var. reticulatus) and to evaluate the viability of using the product as an ingredient in cake manufacturing. In this study, different formulations were developed: standard cake 0% (F1) and cakes containing melon seed flour as substitute of wheat flour in 10% (F2) 30% (F3) and 50% (F4) concentrations. Centesimal composition, dietary fibre, structural and morphological characterization, determination of mineral composition, and evaluation of fatty acids profile in melon seed flour were carried out. To determine the overall acceptance of cake formulations, sensory analysis was performed with 135 non trained panelists, which also included the identification of sensorial attributes using the Just About Right ideal scale test. The results showed that the melon seed flour has considerable nutritional value, with 18% proteins, 3% moisture, 4% ash, 30% lipids, and 35% dietary fibre. Melon flour also has a significantly high content of minerals, mainly phosphorus (1507.62 mg/100 g) potassium (957.35 mg/100 g) and magnesium (504.03 mg/100 g) The polyunsaturated fatty acid fraction was the most abundant in melon seed flour, with predominance of omega 6 fatty acids (17.95 g/mg of sample) Sensorial analysis disclosed good acceptance for formulations containing 10% and 30% of melon seed flour, with the 10% formulation being the most accepted. The research showed the feasibility of using the melon seed flour in cake production, as well as the possibility of using food waste in restaurants and food industries in order to adhere to sustainable production actions.
Enhanced carbon dioxide sequestration by direct injection of flue gas doped with hydrogen into hydrate reservoir: Possibility of natural gas production
Venue: Energy
Year: 2021

Methane recovery from the natural gas hydrates (NGH) represent the largest source of hydrocarbon energy in the world. However, the existing methods of methane recovery are constrained by low efficiency and ecological impact. One method which can offer methane recovery with simultaneous reduction in atmospheric carbon accumulation is carbon dioxide (CO2) injection into methane (CH4) dominated hydrates. This method may also ensure long term CO2 storage in the cages of recovered methane. However, obtaining huge amount of pure CO2 and its storage stability at real saline conditions of hydrate media are two important aspects for a sustainable methane recovery project. This study focuses on reducing reliance on pure CO2 and therefore, an equivalent flue gas composition of CO2 and nitrogen (N2, 0 80 mol% is tested for hydrate potential. The study is an experimental investigation of CO2 hydrate formation (N2 as binary gas) in common seabed conditions of 2 8 degC and 35 75 bar. The inclusion of N2 was found to depress the conditions of hydrate formation of CO2 and at high N2 composition [40 mol% for saline water and 45 mol% for fresh water] no hydrates formed. The presence of salt was also found to reduce the amount of gas consumption which inhibited the hydrate formation. Further, the role of hydrogen (H2) (in minute compositions, 0.1 and 1 mol% was investigated as a promoter to enhance hydrate formation at unstable conditions (gas mixtures with higher N2 composition) H2 showed significant increase in gas consumption by 12 18% Increasing H2 composition (from 0.1 to 1 mol% was able to restore hydrate formation under saline conditions even in the presence of >40 mol% N2. Based on this study, the use of H2 is recommended as a promoter to ensure long term storage of CO2 in hydrates with its simultaneous usage for sustainable CH4 production.
Wealth inequality, democracy and economic freedom
Year: 2018

Using a novel panel data set from the Credit Suisse on the top wealth shares for 46 sample countries spanning 2000 2014, this paper empirically investigates to what extent wealth inequality influences economic freedom and whether this relationship is affected by the level of democracy. Economic freedom is measured by the Fraser Institute's economic freedom summary index as well as its five major sub indices, such as government size, property rights, access to sound money, freedom to trade, and regulations. Wealth inequality is measured by the top wealth shares. Trade union density is used as an instrument for wealth inequality. Empirical results suggest that the rising wealth inequality significantly hampers overall economic freedom, property rights protection, freedom to trade, soundness of money and regulatory environment. Furthermore, this negative effect of wealth inequality is reinforced at a lower level of democracy. These findings are robust to alternative measures of wealth inequality, economic freedom, treatment for endogeneity, and model specification.
Antibacterial activity study of 1,2,4 triazole derivatives.
Venue: European journal of medicinal chemistry
Year: 2019

Antibiotics are commonly used to fight against bacterial infections, but bacteria have already been resistant to almost all antibiotics due to abuse of antibiotics. 1,2,4 Triazole derived compounds possess chemotherapeutic effects including potential antibacterial activities against drug sensitive as well as drug resistant pathogens. Hybridization displays a high potential to develop novel drugs with the capacity to overcome drug resistance, reduce toxicity and improve pharmacokinetic profiles. More effective antibacterial candidates might be obtained by the hybridization of 1,2,4 triazole with other antibacterial pharmacophores. This review summarizes the recent advances of 1,2,4 triazole derivatives as potential antibacterial compounds, and the structure activity relationship is also discussed.
Synthetic wind speed scenarios generation for probabilistic analysis of hybrid energy systems
Year: 2017

Hybrid energy systems consisting of multiple energy inputs and multiple energy outputs have been proposed to be an effective element to enable ever increasing penetration of clean energy. In order to better understand the dynamic and probabilistic behavior of hybrid energy systems, this paper proposes a model combining Fourier series and autoregressive moving average (ARMA) to characterize historical weather measurements and to generate synthetic weather (e.g. wind speed) data. In particular, Fourier series is used to characterize the seasonal trend in historical data, while ARMA is applied to capture the autocorrelation in residue time series (e.g. measurements with seasonal trends subtracted) The generated synthetic wind speed data is then utilized to perform probabilistic analysis of a particular hybrid energy system configuration, which consists of nuclear power plant, wind farm, battery storage, natural gas boiler, and chemical plant. Requirements on component ramping rate, economic and environmental impacts of hybrid energy systems, and the effects of deploying different sizes of batteries in smoothing renewable variability, are all investigated.
WITHDRAWN: Therapeutic touch for healing acute wounds.
Venue: The Cochrane database of systematic reviews
Year: 2016

Therapeutic Touch (TT) is an alternative therapy that has gained popularity over the past two decades for helping wounds to heal. Practitioners enter a meditative state and pass their hands above the patient's body to find and correct any imbalances in the patient's 'life energy' or chi. Scientific instruments have been unable to detect this energy. The effect of TT on wound healing has been expounded in anecdotal publications.  To identify and review all relevant data to determine the effects of TT on healing acute wounds.  In January 2014, for this fifth update, we searched The Cochrane Wounds Group Specialised Register; The Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) (The Cochrane Library) Ovid MEDLINE; Ovid MEDLINE ( Ovid EMBASE; and EBSCO CINAHL.  All randomised or quasi randomised controlled trials, which compared the effect of TT with a placebo, another treatment, or no treatment control were considered. Studies which used TT as a stand alone treatment, or as an adjunct to other therapies, were eligible.  One author (DO'M) determined the eligibility for inclusion of all trials in the review. Both authors conducted data extraction and evaluation of trial validity independently. Each trial was assessed using predetermined criteria.  No new trials were identified for this update. Four trials in people with experimental wounds were included. The effect of TT on wound healing in these studies was variable. Two trials (n 44 24) demonstrated a significant increase in healing associated with TT, while one trial found significantly worse healing after TT and the other found no significant difference. All trials are at high risk of bias.  There is no robust evidence that TT promotes healing of acute wounds.

The results of the 2016 ASHP national survey of pharmacy practice in hospital settings are presented.  A stratified random sample of pharmacy directors at 1,315 general and children's medical surgical hospitals in the United States were surveyed using a mixed mode method offering a choice of completing a paper survey or an online survey. IMS Health supplied data on hospital characteristics; the survey sample was drawn from IMS's hospital database.  The survey response rate was 29.8% Drug policy development by pharmacy and therapeutics committees continues to be an important strategy for improving prescribing. Strict formulary systems are maintained in 63.0% of hospitals, and 89.7% of hospitals use clinical practice guidelines that include medications. Pharmacists have the authority to order laboratory tests in 89.9% of hospitals and order medications in 86.8% of hospitals. Therapeutic interchange policies are used in 89.2% of hospitals. Electronic health records (EHRs) have been implemented partially or completely in most hospitals (99.1% Computerized prescriber order entry systems with clinical decision support are used in 95.6% of hospitals, and 92.6% of hospitals have barcode assisted medication administration systems. Transitions of care programs are increasing in number, with 34.6% of hospitals now offering discharge prescription services. Pharmacists practice in 39.5% of hospital ambulatory or primary care clinics. The most common service offered by pharmacists to outpatients is anticoagulation management (26.0% When pharmacists practice in ambulatory care clinics, 64.5% have prescribing authority through collaborative practice agreements.  Pharmacists continue to expand their role in improving the prescribing of medications in both hospital and outpatient settings. The adoption of EHRs and medication use technologies has contributed to this growth.
An Approach For Inspecting Arabic Authorship Attribution Using The Fuzzy Logic System
Year: 2020

using fuzzy logic system enhances the accuracy of solving the society problems so, the researchers try to use it in many research issues such as authorship attribution specifies an author to an anonymous text according to his features of writing. The type of features is character, lexical, syntactic, and semantic. This research studies the effect of using fuzzy logic system on the Arabic authorship attribution within proposing a new approach to solve the issue of detecting if an anonymous text is owning to specific author or not. Additionally, it uses the ontology as a semantic feature and N gram as a lexical feature. Moreover it concerns on a new corpus which is called ElWafaa LlFokahaa| It is assembled and annotated fatwas of prayer from books of main Islamic jurisprudence doctrines Hanfi, Shafie, Malki, and Hanbli| In the experimental work, the corpus is split into two datasets, 95% is training and 5% testing dataset. In addition, the proposed approach uses the semantic and lexical feature with and without fuzzy logic system then compare them. The implementation shows the effect of fuzzy logic system on the semantic and lexical feature. The accuracy is reduced from 86.7% to 84.3% with semantic features while it is increased from 91.6% to 95.7% with lexical features.
