新見公立短期大学における紀要のあゆみ

新見女子短期大学紀要は開学直後の1980年に創刊され,以来年刊誌として刊行が継続されて現在に至っている。1999年度からは,大学の名称が新見公立短期大学と変更されたことに伴い,誌名を新見公立短期大学紀要と変更し,継承誌として第20巻から刊行を継続することになった。第1巻は掲載論文9編・総ページ数115ページであった。その後,掲載論文数・総ページ数ともに増加を続け,第19巻(1998年)では掲載論文20編・総ページ数240ページと創刊時の2倍以上となった。本学紀要は,掲載論文の専門分野が多種多様である。このため,書式・体裁・文献の記載法などについては最小限の統一をはかり,細目については各専門分野の慣習にまかせる編集方針を採っている。教員に研究発表の場を提供するために,刊行費節約の努力を続けながらも,本学紀要の今後の発展を計りたい

Intravenous postoperative fluid prescriptions for children: A survey of practice

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Postoperative deaths and neurological injury have resulted from hyponatraemia associated with the use of hypotonic saline solutions following surgery. We aimed to determine the rates and types of intravenous fluids being prescribed postoperatively for children in the UK.</p> <p>Methods</p> <p>A questionnaire was sent to members of the British Association of Paediatric Surgeons (BAPS) and Association of Paediatric Anaesthetists of Great Britain and Ireland (APAGBI) based at UK paediatric centres. Respondents were asked to prescribe postoperative fluids for scenarios involving children of different ages. The study period was between May 2006 and November 2006.</p> <p>Results</p> <p>The most frequently used solution was sodium chloride 0.45% with glucose 5% although one quarter of respondents still used sodium chloride 0.18% with glucose 4%. Isotonic fluids were used by 41% of anaesthetists and 9.8% of surgeons for the older child, but fewer for infants. Standard maintenance rates or greater were prescribed by over 80% of respondents.</p> <p>Conclusion</p> <p>Most doctors said they would prescribe hypotonic fluids at volumes equal to or greater than traditional maintenance rates at the time of the survey. A survey to describe practice since publication of National Patient Safety Agency (NPSA) recommendations is required.</p

A study of the impact of building geometry on the thermal performance of road pavement solar collectors

Studies on RPSC (road pavement solar collectors) have shown the potential of reducing the UHI (urban heat island) effects by dissipating the heat from the pavement for energy harness. Several works have shown that the generated heat could be utilised for sustainable urban energy system. However, none of the previous literatures have assessed the effect of building geometry on the performance of the RPSC. This study investigates the thermal performance of an urban-integrated RPSC system by using CFD (computational fluid dynamic) simulation of integrated RPSC system with a standard urban canyon domain and an empty domain. Based on 21st June at 13:00, it was found that the RPSC system in urban canyon domain was on average 36.08% more effective in thermal collection and provided on average 27.11% more surface temperature reduction as compared to the RSPC application in rural/flat domain. The RPSC performance based on the effect from daily solar intensity was initiated with results demonstrated the efficiency of the RPSC in an urban setting was 7.14%–63.26% more than the rural/flat setting. Simulations of various wind speeds in summer day(s) and the impact of seasonal changes to the RPSC system were also conducted to investigate the deficiency factors to the system
