This study used a two-round modified Delphi technique with a questionnaire survey in order to reach a consensus for the questionnaire; the survey was conducted from September to December 2009. The six indicators for the environmental quality of longterm care institutions in Taiwan are (1) indoor environmental quality, (2) safety equipment for the prevention and management of disasters occurring in residents' daily lives, (3) provision for assistive devices for residents' daily use, (4) provision for privacy and individualized space, (5) provision for comfortable and decorated indoor environments, and (6) provision for social interaction space. The scale included 34 items with an acceptable number of panel members and acceptable construct validity. Panel members all highly approved of Indicators 1, 2, and 6. Although they approved of Indicator 3, they suggested that caregivers at institutions should replace the functions of living assistive devices. They approved of Indicator 5; however, they questioned the method for providing comfortable and decorated environments. They approved of Indicator 4; however, they suggested that private space need not be provided in the living room of the institution. In terms of long-term care institution environments in Taiwan, Indicators 1, 2, and 6 were important for protecting residents' physical and psychological well-being and improving
The energy materials such as titania (TiO2) and alumina (Al2O3) are the environmental friendly materials. In this paper the nanostructure of high surface area titania and alumina are fabricated by anodization process and assistance in electrochemical mold. In general, academic or research institutes can simply control the required experimental conditions in a small sample; however, it’s difficult to control the stable parameters in a large surface and a large number of nanostructural products in the industry production. In order to solve the problems of unstable current density and temperature we have designed a cooling functional electrochemical mold which can improve the nanostructural quality of energy materials during a large number production. The electrochemical mold is used for a local surface treatment at an isothermal temperature controlling. The mold limits sample for a specific treated area and current density in the electrolyte. The mold can be used for the assistance of electrolysis, electro-polishing, electro-deposition, anodization, etching, chemical deposition, pickling, and caustic processes. The mold structure includes fixture group, water-cooling electrode group, and electrode conductive group.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
