Differential charge sensing and charge delocalization in a tunable double quantum dot.

We report measurements of a tunable double quantum dot, operating in the quantum regime, with integrated local charge sensors. The spatial resolution of the sensors allows the charge distribution within the double dot system to be resolved at fixed total charge. We use this readout scheme to investigate charge delocalization as a function of temperature and strength of tunnel coupling, demonstrating that local charge sensing can be used to accurately determine the interdot coupling in the absence of transport.

Building a home care therapy department.

Therapy services have been less visible in home care than other services, which raises the question of a serious patient need that is not being met. Agencies need to put more emphasis on therapy, including recruiting and retaining quality therapists to address community and patient needs.

Pay-per-visit for staff. Saving money without sacrificing quality of care.

In summary, the VNA of Los Angeles has found that the pay-per-visit system provides tremendous costsavings and that it has eliminated visit productivity problems. Additionally, field staff have found that the system can improve their earning power. Although the development, initiation, and maintenance of the pay-per-visit system requires a significant commitment of both time and effort, it is a system that we highly recommend to other home health organizations.

A collaborative approach to nursing field placement.

The numbers of nursing students undertaking pre-registration education in higher education courses in South Australia has expanded rapidly over the last four years. This paper describes collaboration between Schools of Nursing to coordinate student placements in clinical venues. A computerised system has been developed which is unique in Australia and its positive results are identified.
