Comparison of Outcomes in Maternal Opioid Medical Support Using Centering Pregnancy Versus Maternity Care Home

Objective: To implement and evaluate two enhanced models of prenatal care in a high-risk population. Design: A non-randomized, retrospective case-control study was conducted with a 1:1 matching selection of participants by age, race, insurance status and marital status. Materials and methods: This study examined two types of prenatal visit models at the same center under the same perinatology service. One involved a group medical visit format using Centering Pregnancy (CGC). The other used standard individualized one-on-one Maternity Care Home (MCH) medical visits. The CGC prenatal visits met weekly or biweekly in lieu of regular MCH prenatal visits. The MCH prenatal visits occurred based on the prenatal care plan for high-risk opioid addicted pregnant women. Outcomes of maternal age (MA), gestational age (GA), Neonatal Intensive Care Unit admission (NICU), APGAR 5-min (APGAR-5), total number of prenatal visits (TPV), ultrasound visits including antenatal testing (USV), emergency room obstetrical triage visits (ERV), and breastfeeding at discharge (BF) were analysed using SPSS 22.0. Results: The CGC and MCH groups were matched cases (p=0.938) in age: 27.8 ± 3 years; race: 98% Caucasian; insurance type: 100% public and marital status: married 15%, single 78%, divorced 3%. Statistically significant differences were noted in TPV: 17.4 ± 6 versus 8.6 ± 7, (p<0.001); USV: 6.7 ± 4 versus 3.7 ± 3, (p<0.003) and ERV: 1.8 ± 2 versus 3.2 ± 2, (p<0.02). No statistically significant differences were noted between CGC versus MCH matched cases in GA: 75%, versus 69% full term, (p=0.580); APGAR-5: 8.9 ± 0.2, 8.5 ± 1.6, (p=0.121); NICU: 12 versus 11, (p=0.795); and BF: 79% versus 64%, (p=0.174), respectively. Conclusion: These results indicate that the CGC group prenatal visit model for opioid addicted pregnant women is clinically advantageous over MCH for ensuring prenatal visit compliance and reducing ERV in a high-risk population. Further research is warranted to investigate a cost-benefit analysis and the effects on maternal fetal outcomes postpartum.

A Novel Texture Synthesis Algorithm Using Patch Matching by Fuzzy Texture Unit

— Texture is an important spatial feature useful for identifying objects or regions of interest in an image. This paper presents a novel texture characterization method based on Fuzzy Texture Unit (FTU) for texture synthesis. The proposed fuzzy texture characterization approach, takes into account the vagueness introduced by noise and the different caption and digitization processes, for defining the texture unit, by which texture synthesis is obtained. FTU extracts local texture information from the pixels for characterizing the textural aspect of a digital image and FTU detects the classes having highest relevance for deciding the existence of a concrete textural feature within an image by which patches can be identified easily. A patch that satisfies the minimum error criterion computed using L2norm is selected as the candidate patch. Edging two patches along the minimum error boundary cut is considered to be one of the most efficient candidate patches till recently. However, in real textures, especially the semi-stochastic ones, perfect cuts do not exist; therefore, the defects due to the inconsistency between the patches become an important problem for the synthesized texture quality. For this reason the present paper adopts a modified MEBC determine the boundary between the patches. Experimental results on wide range of texture samples demonstrate that the performance of the present approach is superior to many other existing methods of texture synthesis.

Evaluating the Volatility Behaviour in Irish ISEQ Overall Index Using GARCH Models

This paper aims to model the volatility of the Irish stock market (ISEQ) index price; data used in this article include the daily closing prices of ISEQ overall index, from January 1, 2008 to March 28, 2014. The data are observed to be naturally divided into three time frames; the first period from January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2009, the second from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2011, and the third from January 1, 2012 to March 28, 2014. The volatility is modelled using symmetric and asymmetric Generalised Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity (GARCH) models including GARCH, EGARCH, TGARCH, PGARCH and FIEGARCH under the assumption that data follow a Normal distribution. Comparisons, both of estimations and forecasts of the volatility between GARCH family models have been performed. In general, for the whole time frame (1/1/2008–28/3/2014) and for the first period, (as specified above), the FIGARCH (1,1) model performs better than the others but, for the second period, the PGARCH (1,1,1) model is preferred. For the third period, the best model is found to be EGARCH (1,1), so that the ISEQ overall index of volatility does appear to exhibit different behaviour in different periods. Original Research Article Alsharkasi et al.; BJEMT, 13(1): 1-13, 2016; Article no.BJEMT. 24632 2 The empirical findings summary, for the GARCH forms that apply for the overall and three subperiods, indicate that so-called explosive volatility is present in the ISEQ Overall index returns over the extended period.
HIGH-ORDER ACCURATE SPECTRAL DIFFERENCE METHOD FOR SHALLOW WATER EQUATIONS

ABSTRACT The conservative high-order accurate spectral difference method is presented for simulation of rotating shallowwater equations. The method is formulated using Lagrange interpolations on Gauss-Lobatto points for the desired order of accuracy without suffering numerical dissipation and dispersion errors. The optimal third-order total variation diminishing (TVD) Runge-Kutta algorithm is used for the time marching process. The Godunov-type method by solving the Riemann problem approximately using Roe's technique is utilized at the element interfaces to couple the discontinuous element together at that point. Some 1D and 2D shallow water wave propagation problems with Gaussian shaped water drops are simulated and compared for different order constrictions of spectral difference method. The results from the second-order central difference scheme and the Lax-Wendroff scheme are also included for comparison purposes. The results show that spectral difference method is a good numerical tool for accurate simulation of shallow water equations without suffering the dispersive or dissipative errors and provides an alternative to other high-order accuracy methods in terms of efficiency.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL FOR ADVANCE RESEARCH IN ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY

: Visual cryptography is a special encryption technique in which any text/secret which has to be encrypted is taken as an image. It chops image into randomly looking noise called shares, which when stacked together in any manner with proper alignment reveals out the secret. This decoding process is done via human visual system without any complex computations. In most of current visual cryptography schemes only one secret is lodged into 2 or more shares, which are larger in size than the original secret, thus results in more bandwidth and memory wastage. This paper discusses multi secret sharing schemes in which m secrets can be implanted into m or m+1 shares using rotation or master key concept, hence reducing memory wastage and improving security.

The demographic variables of participants (students and academic staff) in this project were studied and demonstrated. In order to check the precision and robustness of the final results of this paper, several statistical tests were applied. Conclusions, recommendations, limitations and future research directions were discussed.
Power Reduction Approach by using Multi-Bit Flip-Flops

: Power has become a burning issue in modern VLSI design. In modern integrated circuits, the power consumed by clocking gradually takes a dominant part. Given a design, we can reduce its power consumption by replacing some flip-flops with fewer multi-bit flip-flops. However, this procedure may affect the performance of the original circuit. Hence, the flip-flop replacement without timing and placement capacity constraints violation becomes a quite complex problem. To deal with thedifficulty efficiently, we have proposed several techniques. First, we perform a co-ordinate transformation to identify those flipflops that can be merged and their legal regions. Besides, we show how to build a combination table to enumerate possible combinations of flip-flops provided by a library. Finally, we use a hierarchical way to merge flip-flops. Besides power reduction, the objective of minimizing the total wirelength is also considered. The time complexity of our algorithm is Θ(n1.12) less than the empirical complexity of Θ(n2). According to the experimental results, our algorithm significantly reduces clock power by 20–30% and the running time is very short. In the largest test case, which contains 1 700 000 flip-flops, our algorithm only takes about 5 min to replace flip-flops and the power reduction can achieve 21%.

— The World Wide Web has advanced from being a pureinformation repository to a more functional and service orientedplatform using technologies such as Web Services. Web servicehas been widely employed in e-business, e-government,automotive systems, multimedia services, process control,finance, and a lot of other domains.The proposed techniqueleverages both places of clients and Web services while choosing similar pals for the target user or service,cooperative Clarifying is broadly working for creating Web provider commendation. CF-based totally Web provider endorsement drives to compute absent QoS (Quality-of-Service) values of Web centers. Though severaCFbased Web carrier QoS calculation approaches have remained provided in modern-day years, the overall performance still desiresenormous improvement. Firstly, surviving QoS calculation methods hardly ever replicate modified concept ofpurchasers and centers whilst computing the similarity among customers and between offerings. Secondly, Web providerQoS elements, such as reply period and amount, regularly be difficulty to at the positions of Web centers and customers.
A New Approach to Merging Structured XML Files

—Collaborative work with keeping data up-to-date becomes imperative.To support collaborative problem needs to solve how to editparallel copies of a document and merge the copies into a single document. Many methods such as UNIX diff3, XmlDiff, DeltaXML and 3DM are published to support for merging data from changes. But there are also some problems about semantic in the XML tag suggestions, creating optimal differential sets. The paper uses a new approach of merging 3-way structuredxml files by a base file with three input XML files. Merging process is based on the determination of the structure mapping between the branched files through the base file. To increase the accuracy of the mapping, the paper proposes to refine this mapping by applying WordNet dictionary for XML tag element. The search for this mapping is a necessary step before the merging processoccurring. In addition, the paper’s approach allows the identification and treatment of the conflicts that arise in the XML data merging process at different levels. The solution handlingthe conflicts is the key to achieving effective consolidation.
Knowledge attitude practice and acceptance of postpartum intrauterine devices among postpartal women in a tertiary care center

Background: PPIUCDs are the only method for couples requesting a highly effective and reversible, yet long acting, family planning method that can be initiated during the immediate postpartum phase. World Health Organization (WHO) medical eligibility criteria state that it is generally safe for postpartum lactating women to use a PPIUCD, with the advantages outweighing the disadvantages. PPIUCDs are cost-effective and they are low-cost intervention that reduces maternal, infant, and under-five Child mortality. Methods: After approval from the ethical committee and consent from the patients, the study was performed on 1000 postpartum women within 10 min. of delivery and up to 6 weeks of delivery at Labour Room of, M.Y. Hospital, Indore. Results: Majority of acceptor (72.5%) belong to age group of 18-25 years and 53% belonged to urban area. Acceptance was more in those who completed their secondary school level education (33%). Working women (55.5%) accepted PPIUCD more than the non-working. Out of 1000 women counselled only 10% agreed for PPIUVD insertion. During the study of 1 year duration (3.5%) of non-acceptors become pregnant and none of the acceptors conceived. Most common reason stated for accepting PPIUCD among acceptors, was that it is a reversible method (66%). Most common reason for not accepting PPIUCD among non-acceptors, because they are interested in Other Method of Family Planning (60%). Conclusions: Verbal acceptance is more than actual insertion of PPIUCD because of adoption of other method of family planning, family pressure, nonacceptance by partner, lack of awareness, fear of complication. Proper counselling can help to generate awareness and compliance for PPIUCD use in postpartum mother who have institutional delivery. Inserting CuT 380A within 10 min after placental delivery is safe and effective, has high retention rate. The expulsion rate was not high, and further can be reduced with practice could not be predicted.
ELECTROCHEMICAL AND STRUCTURAL CHARACTERIZATION OF SPENT AND FRESH LITHIUM-ION CELL PHONE BATTERIES

In this study, we showed the results of the electrochemical characterization of spent and fresh commercial cell phone lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries including the detailed crystalline characterization of their electrodes. The charging current and cell voltage (CC-CV) charging protocol showed charge capacities very close to the nominal capacity (C) for both batteries, although abnormal charge transference was observed during the CC-CV charging regime for the spent battery. However, after the current constant (CC) discharging, the batteries showed different discharge capacities measured at 3,0 V being much lower for the spent battery in comparison with the fresh one. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns followed by Rietveld analysis showed the presence of a single-phase with hexagonal crystalline structure and the Li1CoO2 composition (Phase I) for the discharged fresh cathode. While for the discharged cathode of the spent battery, the presence of two-phase lithium-cobalt oxide composed by 11 % of Phase I and 89 % of a second hexagonal phase characterized by an extended c axes (Phase II) were found as a result of cycling. No phase changes were observed in the hexagonal lattice of the carbon anodes of these batteries except for a decrease in relative intensities in the Bragg peaks for the spent anode material in comparison with the fresh anode.
FAULT DIAGNOSIS FOR WIND TURBINE BLADE THROUGH VIBRATION SIGNALS USING STATISTICAL FEATURES AND RANDOM FOREST ALGORITHM

Wind energy is one of the important renewable energy resources. The wind energy is converted into electrical energy using rotating blades which are connected to the generator. Due to environmental conditions and large structure, the blades are subjected to various faults and cause a lack of productivity. The downtime can be reduced when they are diagnosed periodically using structural health monitoring. These are considered as a pattern recognition problem which consists of three phases namely, feature extraction, feature selection and feature classification. In this study, statistical features were extracted from vibration signals, feature selection was carried out using a J48 decision tree algorithm and feature classification was performed using random forest algorithm.

DIGITAL WATERMARKING

: A robust, computationally efficient and blind digital image watermarking in spatial domain has been discussed in this paper. Embedded watermark is meaningful and recognizable and recovery process needs only one secret image. Watermark insertion process exploits average brightness of the homogeneity regions of the cover image. Spatial mask of suitable size is used to hide data with less visual impairments. Experimental results show resiliency of the proposed scheme against large blurring attack like mean and Gaussian filtering, non linear filtering like median, image rescaling, symmetric image cropping, lower order bit manipulation of gray values and loss data compression like JPEG with high compression ratio and low PSNR values. Almost as discreetly as the technology itself, digital watermarking has recently made its debut on the geo-imaging stage. This innovative technology is proving to be a cost-effective means of deterring copyright theft of mapping data and of ensuring the authenticity and integrity of asterisked image data. First developed around six years ago, digital watermarking is a sophisticated modern incarnation of steganography-the science of concealing information within other information. In the field of e-commerce, digital watermarking has already established itself as an effective deterrent against copyright theft of photographs and illustrations. Now digital watermarking software is finding uses within national mapping agencies and others working with asterisked images or map data. Current applications range from protecting valuable map data against copyright theft to securing photographic survey or reconnaissance images against tampering.
