Barriers to and enablers of physical activity in patients with COPD following a hospital admission: a qualitative study
No full textConclusion: This research provides a snapshot of the barriers to and enablers of physical activity and pulmonary rehabilitation in people with COPD. It is evident that there are significant barriers which hinder the ability of people with COPD to undertake and continue participation in physical activity and pulmonary rehabilitation. While there are some enablers that may counter these barriers, it is clear that health professionals dealing with people suffering from COPD need to actively recognize and address barriers to physical activity and pulmonary rehabilitation. Hospital admission may create an opportunity for implementation of interventions promoting physical activity (such as referral to pulmonary rehabilitation), which may assist in reducing hospital readmission, as well as decreasing morbidity and mortality.
The effect of family ownership on knowledge sharing in electronics enterprises in southern China
No full textThe outcome of the study provides insights into the influence of family ownership on knowledge sharing through either a direct effect or a mediating effect. The research provides some empirical evidence that may contribute to China maintaining its effective and efficient share of the world's electronics products. The study is unique in that it investigated the mediating effects of the four CSFs on knowledge sharing in southern China.
ACTU correspondence, October 1979 [Folder Title]
No full textThis folder contains correspondence sent to the Australian Council of Trade Unions (ACTU) from various individuals and community organisations seeking assistance, asking for advice, responding to media reports and offering support. The correspondence covers a range of matters for which people would seek assistance from the trade union peak body including asking for financial support for their organisation and expressing opinions on government legislation. Some correspondents encourage Bob Hawke to enter federal politics. Additional issues addressed here include air quality, transcendental meditation, unemployment, industrial disputes, amnesty international campaigns and uranium mining.

Asymptotic throughput and throughput-delay scaling in wireless networks : the impact of error propagation
No full textThis paper analyzes the impact of error propagation on the achievable throughput and throughput-delay tradeoff in wireless networks. It addresses the particular class of multihop routing schemes for parallel unicast that achieve a throughput scaling of Θ n −12 per node in a network of n nodes. It is shown that in the finite-block-length case, necessitated by finite decoding memory at the nodes, the guaranteed per-node throughput in the network cannot scale better than o n −r per node for any r > 0. This bound on the guaranteed per-node throughput is tighter than the O 1 n bound shown previously. Instead of focusing on the probability of error for each link, which is intractable, an approach of bounding mutual information is employed to show tight results on the achievable throughput and throughput-delay tradeoffs. It is shown that for multihop transmission protocols, error propagation leads to significant changes in the tradeoff between the throughput T (n) and the delay D(n), compared to previous results. The best known scaling behavior is only D(n) = Θ(n (log n) T (n)) under maximum throughput scaling, where the block length required scales as Ω(log n). When decoding memory at nodes is constrained to be O(log log n), the achievable tradeoff worsens to D(n) = Θ n (log n)2 T (n) .
