liquefaction potential of soil. Developed by H.B. Seed and I.M. Idriss in 1971, this method uses two fundamental terms: (1) Cyclic Stress Ratio (CSR), and (2) Cyclic Resistance Ratio (CSR). The CRR characterizes the liquefaction resistance of granular soils and is typically acquired from in situ tests. It can also be estimated by cyclic tests on reconstituted soil samples. According to a summary report by Youd and Idriss (2001), the 1996 NCEER and 1998 NCEER/ NSF Workshops reviewed the modern method of

Exhaustive tests and analysis aids in reducing misstatements that may have gone undetected on the financial statements. Baker is planning to use a 20% tolerance level for testing low risk level, the discovery method, and a small population sample of shipping invoices. Issues There are several issues in Baker's assessment intentions that do not quite match the concepts from our textbook

In Pre-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Patients, How Does Hands-Only CPR Compared To Standard CPR, Affect Neurological Outcomes? Abstract Summary Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is the leading cause of death in the U.S. Increasing bystander-initiated CPR through “hands-only” CPR and EMS dispatcher instructed “hands-only” CPR improves survival rates. Methods CINAHL, PubMed, and OvidMD were searched for the following key terms or combination thereof: “hands-only”; “compression-only”; chest compression-only”;

case-control studies typically include only individuals with a specific characteristic, with a sample, often a tiny minority, of the rest of the population. Cross-sectional studies are descriptive studies (neither longitudinal nor experimental). Unlike case-control studies, they can be used to describe, not only the Odds ratio, but also absolute risks and relative risks from prevalences (sometimes called prevalence risk ratio, or PRR).[1][2] They may be used to describe some feature of the population, such as

a ten year old deviqe used to monitor patient’s conditions under anesthesia. It uses two LEDs that emit light at a wavelength of 660nm and 940nm respectively. Oxygenated blood absorbs strongly at 660nm. As cumulative blood oxygenation changes, the ratio of the light transmitted by the two frequencies changes. The unit detects the peaks and valleys, allowing it to separate the arterial blood 0-7803-5078-2/98/$10.00 0 1998 IEEE signal from the background signal of blood
