Objective
Focusing on Hong Kong Care and Attention homes which provide residential care, meals, personal care and limited nursing care for older people, this study aimed to understand the impact of floor plans’ legibility (layout and complexity) on residents’ wayfinding satisfaction and self‐reported health status.
Methods
A questionnaire survey was conducted in nine Care and Attention homes. Space...
With an increase in usage amount and operating years of composite insulators, their failures caused by aging increased in number. The 110kV composite insulators in service were studied in this paper, and the electric field distribution along the axial direction of the insulator was calculated by using ANSYS software, which is based on the finite element method (FEM). According to the simulated results,...
In order to explore a method for assessing the aging characteristics of composite insulators, the composite insulators in service were studied using the Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR) test. The influences of several aging factors on the shed materials of composite insulators in service such as shed locations, operating years and environment contamination levels were preliminarily investigated...
Placing data as close as possible to computation is a common practice of data intensive systems, commonly referred to as the data locality problem. By analyzing existing production systems, we confirm the benefit of data locality and find that data have different popularity and varying correlation of accesses. We propose DARE, a distributed adaptive data replication algorithm that aids the scheduler...
The expression of a variety of proteins is elevated with aging through unknown mechanisms. The free radical theory of aging promulgates that reactive oxygen species (ROS) promote the aging process. However, the mechanisms as to how ROS contribute to the aging process are not clear. We present data here that demonstrate that aging induced ROS promote aging-associated interleukin-6 (IL-6) gene transcription...
