Katabatic wind influence on meltwater supply to fuel glacier-substrate interactions at the grounding line, Terra Nova Bay, East Antarctica

The co-isotopic composition, both in δD and in δ18O, of interbedded debris-rich and clear ice layers, though to have been formed at the grounding line of Hells Gate Ice Shelf, indicates freezing by a double-diffusion effect between continental meltwater and sea water within a subglacial sediment. A source of meltwater is required to sustain the process, since the temperature of the bed is below the freshwater melting point. The most likely source is a surficially frozen meltwater lake. Rock outcrops, kept mostly snow-free by the action of the katabatic winds, absorb solar radiation so local production of liquid water becomes possible in an area with year-round subfreezing air-temperature conditions. The meltwater accumulated in a marginal lake can eventually reach the subglacial substratum near a pinning point where the ice is relatively thin and fractured.SCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe

[Implementation of computerized physician order entry in a hospital setting: what are the keys to success?].

The computerization of the drug supply chain is a challenge which concerns the institutional level. The assets of our hospital and our project were: - a strong management committee, making of this project a priority entering the strategical planning of the institution; - a steering committee allowing each type of actor to express his needs, and of prioriser requests; - a closer medical coaching; - teams of nurses coaches, accompanying each ward, during and after the deployment; - a dynamic IT team allowing a relay between the Institution and the data-processing company. These points appeared essential and are as many keys for a successful deployment
