Using Business Modeling to Streamline Cost of Anesthesia in a Cardiopulmonary Laboratory

The Time Driven Activity Based Costing (TDABC) measurement system, a model used in the business arena, can capture clinical processes and costs that other costing models often overlook. Use of this system permitted tying costs to time and resources and identified areas of inefficiency such as depleted supplies and health care and emergency supplies placed inconveniently. A multidisciplinary team developed an anesthesia checklist for use in a remote cardiopulmonary laboratory. The compliance rate for checklist completion was approximately 85%. Checklist implementation translated to a decrease in case delays and time expenditure in patient care by 58% with a cost savings of 2.5% per patient

Postbuckling behavior of graphite-epoxy panels

Structurally efficient fuselage panels are often designed to allow buckling to occur at applied loads below ultimate. Interest in applying graphite-epoxy materials to fuselage primary structure led to several studies of the post-buckling behavior of graphite-epoxy structural components. Studies of the postbuckling behavior of flat and curved, unstiffened and stiffened graphite-epoxy panels loaded in compression and shear were summarized. The response and failure characteristics of specimens studied experimentally were described, and analytical and experimental results were compared. The specimens tested in the studies described were fabricated from commercially available 0.005-inch-thick unidirectional graphite-fiber tapes preimpregnated with 350 F cure thermosetting epoxy resins

Clothing Construction

For my honors project I chose to make a pantsuit. However, since it would be rather difficult to file a pantsuit I will try to write down for the honors project file a description of this project and why I chose this particular one

Device for Confocal Microscopy Assistance

One current method or the diagnosis of skin cancer is through the use of a confocal microscope to zoom into the region of suspect to the nanometer scale and take images, from which a physician can then determine whether or not the cells are cancerous. The problem that the physician faces in the procedure is that the field of view of the confocal microscope is about 2 inches while the scale of the zoom ranges into the nanometers; this creates a very large area for the physician to observe through the procedure. This device was designed with the intention of marking the area of interest with a fluorescent dye visible under the microscope so that the physician can zoom directly to the region of interest. To build the device a grid with 4 millimeter range of motion was modified to fit a syringe holding the dye and to only allow the needle to penetrate the epidermis, no deeper as this could affect the lesion. This apparatus was attached to a swivel indicator stand to ensure that the device could be accurately held in place once the physician has positioned the device where he needs it. The device was tested by measuring the accuracy of the dye placement, measured by distance of dye from edge of the lesion, and the size of the stain the dye left, measured in nanometers. It was determined that the dye placement should be no more than 2 mm from edge of the lesion and that the size of the stain should be smaller than the lesion. The accuracy of the dye placement proved easiest to control. Overall the device functions well for its purpose and significantly reduces the time of the procedure
