Research on Force and Thermal Phenomena of Short Circuited Melted Mark in Electrical Fire
This paper mainly does a research on force and thermal phenomena of short circuited melted mark in electrical fire. The primary short circuited melted mark and secondary short circuited melted mark were prepared by the experiment, and were characterized by metallographic microscope, powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope and energy dispersive spectroscopy, the role of forces and heat in short circuited melted mark in electrical fire were demonstrated and investigated. It is found that they show a similar shape that the melted ball close to one side for anode melted marks, and their particles show the specific and uniform direction and the most particle size of anode melted marks are larger than the particle size of cathode melted marks, both below the copper wire grain size 64.2nm, similarly, it can be clearly seen that the ratio of O: Cu in deposit layer of all melted marks are below 0.5. Finally, these above special phenomena gave short circuited melted mark the primary statement from the theoretical point of view.
Analysis and clarification about appendix C in GB/T 6394—2002 "Metal-methods for estimating the average grain size"
Through analysis and clarification of Appendix C in GB/T 6394-2002 "Metal-methods for estimating the average grain size" ,it is shown that there are many parts,paragraphs and wordings to be deliberated in the standardized version.
The Alzheimer's Disease Home Hospice Knowledge Scale: development, validity and reliability.
BACKGROUND
Several instruments are available to assess knowledge about hospice care, but none specifically address knowledge about home hospice for persons with Alzheimer's disease (AD).


AIM
To develop and validate the Alzheimer's Disease Home Hospice Knowledge Scale (AD-HHK-S).


METHODS
A total of 107 Israeli family caregivers of persons with dementia (mean age=71.2; 73% female) participated in the study.


RESULTS
The AD-HHK-S included 28 true/false items assessing 3 areas of knowledge: knowledge about hospice, knowledge about home hospice, and knowledge about home hospice for AD. Good internal reliability was found, with Cronbach alpha ranging from 0.72 to 0.85. Good face, construct and predictive validity were found.


CONCLUSIONS
The AD-HHK-S proved to be a valid and reliable tool to assess knowledge about hospice care in the area of AD. It might provide an effective tool for palliative care nurses to communicate with family caregivers of persons with AD at the end of life.
