THE PUBLIC WASHROOM - FRIEND OR FOE? AN OBSERVATIONAL STUDY OF WASHROOM CLEANLINESS COMBINED WITH MICROBIOLOGICAL INVESTIGATION OF HAND HYGIENE FACILITIES

Abstract Background Many people use handwashing and hand-drying facilities in public washrooms under the impression that these amenities are hygienic.However, such facilities may be potential sites for the transmission of pathogenic bacteria.This study aimed to examine the hygiene facilities provided including handwashing and hand-drying facilities

Composite right/left-handed (CRLH) waveguide leaky-wave antenna (LWA) with low sidelobe level (SLL) and high radiation efficiency is investigated and designed in this paper.Due to the characteristic of negative and positive dominant mode propagation constant of the CRLH transmission line, a backward to forward beam-steering LWA can be realized thro

In 2023, the Chinese company PIESAT launched the multi-static X-band SAR constellation Thermometers Hongtu-1 (HT1).HT1 consists of the active monostatic SAR sensor HT1-A and the three additional passive SAR receivers HT1-B, HT1-C and HT1-D.The passive sensors are arranged as a cartwheel in a circle around the active sensor.For our SAR interferometr

Environmental enrichment is a contextual combination of stimuli that facilitate sensory, motor, cognitive, and socioemotional skills.This neuroscientific paradigm enhances experience-dependent neural plasticity, validating it as an intervention model applicable to the educational and neuropsychiatric Hat Accessories area in users with intellectual
