Administration of Blood By Registered Nurses-Joint Statement by California Medical Association, California Hospital Association and California Nurses' Association.
After several years of favorable experience with registered nurses giving intravenous injections of fluids under the criteria set out in a joint statement by the California Medical Association, the California Hospital Association and the California Nurses' Association, it was proposed that it would be appropriate for registered nurses to administer blood. Careful study of current experience in various places with registered nurses giving blood transfusions convinced a joint committee that it recommend the adoption of the following statement which was approved by the associations indicated.
Scalable hardware interconnect is a significant research challenge for neuromorphic systems in particular, this becomes more pronounced when we seek to realise the integration of neurons with astrocytes cells. This paper presents a novel interactive architecture for the astrocyte-neuron network (ANN) hardware systems, and the novel Hierarchical Astrocyte Network Architecture (HANA) using networks-on-chip (NoC) for the efficient information exchange between astrocyte cells. The proposed HANA incorporates a two-level NoC packet transmission mechanism to increase the information exchange rate between astrocyte cells and to provide a NoC traffic balance for local and global astrocyte networks. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed HANA approach can provide efficient information exchange rates for the ANN, while the hardware synthesis results using 90 nm CMOS technology show that it has a low area overhead which maintains scalability.
