Prismatic Beams: Problem Solving01:15

Prismatic Beams: Problem Solving

544
In the design of a supported timber beam subjected to a distributed load, both the beam's physical dimensions and the timber's characteristics, such as its grade and species, are critical. These factors determine the allowable stress values, which are crucial for calculating the necessary beam depth to ensure structural integrity and safety.
The design begins with analyzing the beam as a free body to identify moments and force balances, thereby determining support reactions. Next, the...

Design of Prismatic Beams for Bending

689
The design of prismatic beams, structural elements with a uniform cross-section, focuses on ensuring safety and structural integrity under load. The design process begins by determining the allowable stress, either from material properties tables, or by dividing the material's ultimate strength by a safety factor. This safety factor is essential for accommodating uncertainties, and varies depending on the material—timber, steel, or concrete—with each having unique strength and...

Professional Values

Nurses are responsible for caring for patients during birth, death, illness, and healing. Professional values guide the decisions and actions that nurses make in their careers. If nurses know the decisions and actions to take, providing patients with exceptional care is possible.
The values that are the foundation of the nursing profession are altruism, autonomy, human dignity, and social justice.
First, altruism refers to the concern for the welfare and well-being of others without personal...

Polymer Classification: Architecture01:14

Polymer Classification: Architecture

4.2K
Polymers are classified as linear or branched on the basis of their chain architecture. The polymer chains in linear polymers have a long chain-like structure with minimal to no branching at all. Even if a polymer features large substituent groups on the monomer, which appear as branches to the skeleton, it is not considered a branched polymer. A branched polymer contains secondary polymer chains that arise from the main polymer chain. The branching occurs when the polymer growth shifts from...

Polymer Classification: Crystallinity

4.3K
Unlike ionic or small covalent molecules, polymers do not form crystalline solids due to the diffusion limitations of their long-chain structures. However, polymers contain microscopic crystalline domains separated by amorphous domains.
Crystalline domains are the regions where polymer chains are aligned in an orderly manner and held together in proximity by intermolecular forces. For example, chains in the crystalline domains of polyethylene and nylon are bound together by van der Waals...

Positron Emission Tomography01:29

Positron Emission Tomography

8.2K
Positron emission tomography (PET) is a medical imaging technique involving radiopharmaceuticals — substances that emit short-lived radiation. Although the first PET scanner was introduced in 1961, it took 15 more years before radiopharmaceuticals were combined with the technique and revolutionized its potential.
One of the main requirements of a PET scan is a positron-emitting radioisotope, which is produced in a cyclotron and then attached to a substance used by the part of the body...

Area of Science:

  • Evidence-based medicine
  • Systematic reviews
  • Research methodology

Background:

  • Systematic reviews require robust protocols detailing rationale, hypothesis, and methods.
  • Many systematic reviews do not report the existence of a protocol.
  • Well-documented protocols improve review appraisal and detect reporting biases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses for Protocols 2015 (PRISMA-P 2015) guideline.
  • To provide a 17-item checklist for preparing and reporting systematic review protocols.
  • To promote transparency and completeness in systematic review methodology.

Main Methods:

  • Development of the PRISMA-P 2015 reporting guideline.
  • Creation of a 17-item checklist for systematic review protocols.
  • Guidance for researchers, funders, peer reviewers, and editors.

Main Results:

  • The PRISMA-P 2015 guideline provides a structured checklist.
  • The checklist aids in the preparation and reporting of systematic review protocols.
  • The guideline facilitates assessment of protocol completeness and transparency.

Conclusions:

  • PRISMA-P 2015 promotes robust and transparent systematic review protocols.
  • Mandating PRISMA-P 2015 can improve protocol information in funding applications.
  • The guideline serves as a tool for evaluating the quality of published systematic review protocols.
