Umbilical cord care is a common practice after birth. Although most hospitals routinely use alcohol in the administration of cord care to newborns in Taiwan, the literature suggests that other different cord-care regimens may also be as or more effective. The purpose of this paper is to compare the effect of different cord-care regimens on cord separation time, colonization, omphalitis occurrence, and maternal satisfaction. Findings are hoped to provide nurses information essential to consider and select an optimal approach to umbilical cord care.

    We present the possibility of tuning the spin-wave band structure, Particularly the bandgaps in a nanoscale magnonic antidot waveguide by varying The shape of the antidots. The effects of changing the shape of the antidots on The spin-wave dispersion relation in a waveguide have been carefully monit...
