Can a good-sized, well-established group reinvent itself? Recognizing a need for greater efficiency and more satisfied patients, this multispecialty clinic did.     

Information sources for medical waste management

Although many hospital professionals now have personal access to online databases, popular communications services may not have the full range of electronic services needed for technical problem solving. Librarians are practiced at cross-disciplinary technical research and so health professionals may be best served by consulting an experienced database search analyst so that important information is not accidentally missed. Additionally, many commercially produced databases have repackaged and redistributed data developed by NIOSH and other federal agencies, data that are readily available in the public sector. The cost of accessing or purchasing commercial databases is usually higher than for federal databases, though commercial products use the federal databases to develop their products. Public agencies should always be consulted to obtain the most current information issued by those bodies and also because a variety of free and low-cost support materials may be available. Because of the expense of routinely consulting electronic databases when comparable printed materials may be available at a lower cost, a small reference collection of books, journals, and audiovisuals may be desirable. A selective print reference collection is found in Appendix A.     

横机针织技术 粗纱和细纱的反差产生不同的图案效果

目前织物组织结构上的对比非常流行:不同的纱线和不同的织法,针织品规格上的对比往往能产生强烈的视觉效果。这项技术并不十分新奇,但它的应用却是方兴未艾。粗纱和细纱对比产生不同效果的机理在于:一方面,使用同样的纱线,在顺着面料方向和横向会产生透光和不透光的区域。另一方面,使用同种类型不同粗细的股纱或者捻纱,根据不同的筛目号数和厚度,面料的透光度会有不同下降。技术方法采用电脑控制独立选针器、换纱控制器(嵌花),并且用沉降片向下拉住织物--这在目前所有现代化企业中都能做到。下面列出了三种方法:1.采用有较大头的织针,可以拉…

完善上市公司治理机制

由于历史的原因，我国现有上市公司中的大部分是由原国有企业或其他政府控制的实体重组改制而成的。其公司治理存在：股权高度集中、董事会独立性不强、监事会作用未能得到有效发挥、投资决策的透明度和专业化水平低、经理服务市缺乏和激励 约束机制扭曲等共性问题。改善我国公司治理的现状可以从降低股权集中度；增强董事会的功能；完善人才、激励以及监督机制等方面努力。
