A Paging Training Program for a Fourth-Year Internship Readiness Course.

Introduction: New medical interns face a steep learning curve as they must manage complex medical scenarios, many of which they have only seen before in a classroom setting. To ameliorate these challenges, medical schools are increasingly including courses designed to address the transition from student to doctor. One of the biggest challenges for new interns is learning to triage and manage nursing pages, so we designed a mock paging program incorporated within our fourth-year transitions course.

Reflection: A Supervisor's Journey through Middle Earth.

A brief metaphorical reflection on the work of supervision that draws on Tolkien's Lord of the Rings trilogy.

Quantum exhaustive key search with simplified-DES as a case study.

To evaluate the security of a symmetric cryptosystem against any quantum attack, the symmetric algorithm must be first implemented on a quantum platform. In this study, a quantum implementation of a classical block cipher is presented. A quantum circuit for a classical block cipher of a polynomial size of quantum gates is proposed.

A Modified Hopfield Neural Network Algorithm (MHNNA) Using ALOS Image for Water Quality Mapping.

Decreasing water pollution is a big problem in coastal waters. Coastal health of ecosystems can be affected by high concentrations of suspended sediment. In this work, a Modified Hopfield Neural Network Algorithm (MHNNA) was used with remote sensing imagery to classify the total suspended solids (TSS) concentrations in the waters of coastal Langkawi Island, Malaysia.

Comparison of Alexandrite and Diode Lasers for Hair Removal in Dark and Medium Skin: Which is Better?

Introduction: To improve laser hair removal (LHR) for dark skin, the fluence rate reaching the hair follicle in LHR is important. This paper presents the results of a comparative study examining the function of wavelength on dark skin types using 755 nm alexandrite and 810 nm diode lasers.

Methods: The structure of the skin was created using a realistic skin model by the Advanced Systems Analysis Program.
