The Data-Inspired Innovation Model

To date numerous results on innovation research have been published, however, the literature on innovation does not offer conclusive findings and guidelines for practice. The research and practice of innovation are fragmented and centered on specific cases. The literature does not present a unified theory of innovation. Innovation in any domain could be enhanced by principles and insights from other disciplines. However, the process of identifying the linkages between the diverse disciplines and the application domain is not well understood. The innovation process and conditions triggering innovation set the stage for economic progress. The paper discusses innovation as an outcome of analysis of data performed over the entire product-life cycle. The concept of data-driven innovation is described. While some of the data is collected in routine practice, other valued pieces of information are cultivated according to the practice of data farming.
A Nanowire Transistor for High Performance Logic and Terabit Non-Volatile Memory Devices

Silicon nanowire-FET (SiNAWI-FET) for high performance logic device with consideration of current direction effects and terabit non-volatile memory (NVM) device using an 8 nm SiNAWI-NVM with oxide/nitride/oxide (ONO) and omega-gate structure is reported for the first time. N-and P-channel SiNAWI-FET showed the highest driving current on (110)/<110> crystal orientation without device rotation, whereas most 3-dimensional NMOS report higher driving current on 45deg device rotation rather than 0deg. Utilizing an 7 nm spherical nanowire on the 8 nm SiNAWI-NVM with ONO structure, 1.7 V VT-window was achieved from 12 V/80 musec program conditions with retention enhancement.
Interactive Supercomputing with MITMatlab

This paper describes MITMatlab, a system that enables users of supercomputers to transparently work on large data sets within Matlab. MITMatlab communicates with an external server that is responsible for storing and operating on the data. Through the use of Matlab’s object oriented features, we can handle this data as though it were \in" Matlab. For example, we can type [u,s,v] = svds(a,5) in Matlab and get results regardless of whether the matrix a has (cid:12)fty or (cid:12)fty million non-zero elements. We present the structure and details of our implementation along with some examples showing MITMatlab in action.
Barriers and facilitators to integrating care: experiences from the English Integrated Care Pilots

Background: In 2008, the English Department of Health appointed 16 ‘Integrated Care Pilots’ which used a range of approaches to provide better integrated care. We report qualitative analyses from a three-year multi-method evaluation to identify barriers and facilitators to successful integration of care. Theory and methods: Data were analysed from transcripts of 213 in-depth staff interviews, and from semi-structured questionnaires (the ‘Living Document’) completed by staff in pilot sites at six points over a two-year period. Emerging findings were therefore built from ‘bottom up’ and grounded in the data. However, we were then interested in how these findings compared and contrasted with more generic analyses. Therefore after our analyses were complete we then systematically compared and contrasted the findings with the analysis of barriers and facilitators to quality improvement identified in a systematic review by Kaplan et al. (2010) and the analysis of more micro-level shapers of behaviour found in Normalisation Process Theory (May et al. 2007). Neither of these approaches claims to be full blown theories but both claim to provide mid-range theoretical arguments which may be used to structure existing data and which can be undercut or reinforced by new data. Results and discussion: Many barriers and facilitators to integrating care are those of any large-scale organisational change. These include issues relating to leadership, organisational culture, information technology, physician involvement, and availability of resources. However, activities which appear particularly important for delivering integrated care include personal relationships between leaders in different organisations, the scale of planned activities, governance and finance arrangements, support for staff in new roles, and organisational and staff stability. We illustrate our analyses with a ‘routemap’ which identifies questions that providers may wish to consider when planning interventions to improve the integration of care.
A Learning Metaheuristic for the Multi Mode Resource Constrained Project Scheduling Problem

This abstract introduces a novel approach to intelligently select appropriate modes for each activity in the multi mode resource constrained project scheduling problem. The mode of an activity determines its duration and the resources that it requires. In order to obtain a good (or optimal) makespan, finding an appropriate mode for each activity is most important. The approach integrates different components. It applies a serial forward/backward heuristic to construct schedules; learning automata to come up with good quality modes and a genetic algorithm to explore the search space.
A Quantitative 3D Motility Analysis of Trypanosoma brucei by Use of Digital In-line Holographic Microscopy

We present a quantitative 3D analysis of the motility of the blood parasite Trypanosoma brucei. Digital in-line holographic microscopy has been used to track single cells with high temporal and spatial accuracy to obtain quantitative data on their behavior. Comparing bloodstream form and insect form trypanosomes as well as mutant and wildtype cells under varying external conditions we were able to derive a general two-state-run-and-tumble-model for trypanosome motility. Differences in the motility of distinct strains indicate that adaption of the trypanosomes to their natural environments involves a change in their mode of swimming.
Linearized Modeling of Single Machine Infinite Bus Power System and Controllers for Small Signal Stability Investigation and Enhancement

Small signal stability investigation is vital as the system outage due small signal perturbation being unknown to the system operators. The small signal disturbance may be initiating event for large system outage. The Single Machine Infinite Bus (SMIB) power system helps in tuning the controllers at one machine without considering the effect of other machines in the power system. The effect of disturbance seen by the machine being 100%, whereas in interconnected power system the effect gets distributed among different machines. Therefore, the controller tuning with SMIB remains valid for miltimachine power system as well. In this paper a comparison of PID, PSS, TCDB controllers is presented through small signal stability of power system comprising of one machine connected to infinite bus and modeled through six K-constants. The power system components such as synchronous machine, exciter, power system stabilizer, PID, TCDB are also modeled after linearization of governing equations.
Increased Pain Intensity Is Associated with Greater Verbal Communication Difficulty and Increased Production of Speech and Co-Speech Gestures

Effective pain communication is essential if adequate treatment and support are to be provided. Pain communication is often multimodal, with sufferers utilising speech, nonverbal behaviours (such as facial expressions), and co-speech gestures (bodily movements, primarily of the hands and arms that accompany speech and can convey semantic information) to communicate their experience. Research suggests that the production of nonverbal pain behaviours is positively associated with pain intensity, but it is not known whether this is also the case for speech and co-speech gestures. The present study explored whether increased pain intensity is associated with greater speech and gesture production during face-to-face communication about acute, experimental pain. Participants (N = 26) were exposed to experimentally elicited pressure pain to the fingernail bed at high and low intensities and took part in video-recorded semi-structured interviews. Despite rating more intense pain as more difficult to communicate (t(25) = 2.21, p = . 037), participants produced significantly longer verbal pain descriptions and more co-speech gestures in the high intensity pain condition (Words: t(25) = 3.57, p = . 001; Gestures: t(25) = 3.66, p = . 001). This suggests that spoken and gestural communication about pain is enhanced when pain is more intense. Thus, in addition to conveying detailed semantic information about pain, speech and co-speech gestures may provide a cue to pain intensity, with implications for the treatment and support received by pain sufferers. Future work should consider whether these findings are applicable within the context of clinical interactions about pain.
Design of a Flux-Switching Electrical Generator for Wind Turbine Systems

This paper proposes a parametric optimization of a flux-switching electrical machine customized for a wind turbine application with a typical operating range for average and low-power wind energy sites. Statistics of wind resources are taken into consideration for the machine design for definition of the turbine power envelope. Both copper and iron losses for three different machine designs are evaluated. A very important consideration taken in this design is the elimination of gearbox requirements for coupling to the turbine. Although the developed approach makes the machine somewhat voluminous, the overall performance is highly improved because a direct-drive flux-switching electrical generator becomes very competitive for small-scale wind turbines. The design methodology presented in this paper will support widespread application of small-scale wind turbines for rural systems, farms, and villages. This paper concludes by demonstrating that a very cost-effective distributed wind system can be approached with this design.
Memory faults in asynchronous microprocessors

Although a large number of asynchronous microprocessors have now been designed, relatively few have attempted to handle memory faults. Memory faults create problems for the design of any pipelined system which are exacerbated by the non-deterministic nature of an asynchronous processor. This paper describes these problems as encountered in the design of asynchronous ARM processors and discusses their specific solutions in the AMULET3 processor. Different mechanisms were used, as expedient, to maintain coherency for the various state-holding elements within the processor; these include register renaming and history buffering in addition to resource locking.
INTENSIDAD DEL EJERCICIO EN CICLISMO INDOOR

El objetivo de este estudio fue cuantificar la intensidad de una sesion de ciclismo indoor. 300 sujetos experimentados realizaron una sesion en la que se registro la FC media entre el minuto 1-15 (FCmedia1), minuto 16-30 (FCmedia2), y minuto 31-intensidad pico de la sesion (FCmedia3). Se obtuvieron valores de RPE en el minuto 15 (RPE15), 30 (RPE30), y 45 (RPE45). La FC media de la sesion fue 144.84 ± 15.59 lpm. La FCmedia1, FCmedia2 y FCmedia3 fue 135.37 ± 16.50 lpm, 148.84 ± 15.85 lpm, y 153.79 ± 16.66 lpm, respectivamente. La RPE15, RPE30 y RPE45 fue 5.39 ± 1.72, 7.14 ± 1.34 y 7.14 ± 2.44, respectivamente. Las correlaciones bivariadas entre la FC y la RPE mostraron correlacion significativa en el minuto 15 (r=0.336; p<0.01), 30 (r=0.291; p<0.01), y 45 (r=0.459; p<0.01). Estos datos sugieren que el ciclismo indoor puede ser una actividad de alta intensidad. PALABRAS CLAVE: Spinning, cardiovascular, ejercicio en grupo, bici, fitness ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to quantify the intensity linked to an indoor cycling session. 300 healthy experienced subjects performed an indoor cycling session while HR was recorded between minute 1-15 (HRmean1), 16-30 min (HRmean2) and 31 min to the peak intensity of the session (HRmean3). RPE values were obtained at 15 min (RPE15), 30 min (RPE30) and 45 min (RPE45). Mean HR of the session was 144.84 ± 15.59 bpm. HRmean1, HRmean2 and HRmean3 were 135.37 ± 16.50 bpm, 148.84 ± 15.85 bpm, and 153.79 ± 16.66 bpm, respectively. RPE15, RPE30 and RPE45 values were 5.39 ± 1.72, 7.14 ± 1.34 and 7.14 ± 2.44, respectively. Bivariate correlations made between HR and RPE values showed significant correlation at 15 (r=0.336; p<0.01), 30 (r=0.291; p<0.01), and 45 (r=0.459; p<0.01) min. These data suggest that indoor cycling can be a vigorous intensity activity. KEY WORDS: Spinning, cardiovascular, group exercise, bike, fitness.
Simulation-based optimization of Markov reward processes: implementation issues

We consider discrete time, finite state space Markov reward processes which depend on a set of parameters. Previously, we proposed a simulation-based methodology to tune the parameters to optimize the average reward. The resulting algorithms converge with probability 1, but may have a high variance. Here, we propose two approaches to reduce the variance, which however introduce a new bias into the update direction. We report numerical results which indicate that the resulting algorithms are robust with respect to a small bias.
Factors that influencing the usage of global distribution system

The advancement of Tourism is supported by Information and Communication Technology (ICT) innovation and changes. The use of GDS (Global Distribution System) i.e. Amadeus, Galileo, Sabre, and Worldspan in the tourism industry can increase the availability, frequency and speed of communication among the companies in providing services to potential tourists. This research is to investigate the factors that influence the actual use of GDS in the tourism industry especially travel agents, airlines and hotels in Bali. This research employed a mixed method of quantitative and qualitative approaches. Field surveys were conducted and 80 valid questionnaires were received and analyzed by using SPSS 17.0; descriptive, correlation, factor analysis and regression tests were conducted. The variables used are Perceived Ease of Use and Perceived Usefulness (Technology Acceptance Model); Awareness, Perceived Risk and Communication Channels are examined. This research revealed that Perceived Ease of Use, Perceived Usefulness, Awareness, and Communication Channels influence the Behavioural intention to use GDS, whereas Perceived Risk were found not significant influence the use of GDS. These findings enable travel agent, airline and hotel companies to make provision decision with respect to the actual use of GDS.
Economie et politique de la chasse : constat, analyse et idées pour l'action

L’article comporte deux parties. La premiere partie donne une explication, en termes d’incitation et de valeur, des inefficacites qui affectent la pratique du loisir chasse et les ressources naturelles qui le supportent. Elle debouche sur une analyse economique des politiques cynegetiques. D'autre part, la gestion des ressources cynegetiques s'inscrivant dans un cadre territorial, il est egalement necessaire de faire appel aux apports de l'economie regionale et territoriale pour expliciter, dans une deuxieme partie, les relations pas toujours evidentes entre ressources cynegetiques et developpement territorial dans un cadre d'analyse global.
Distance Measurement Model Based on RSSI in WSN

The relationship between RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indication) values and distance is the foundation and the key of ranging and positioning technologies in wireless sensor networks. Log-normal shadowing model (LNSM), as a more general signal propagation model, can better describe the relationship between the RSSI value and distance, but the parameter of variance in LNSM is depended on experiences without self-adaptability. In this paper, it is found that the variance of RSSI value changes along with distance regu- larly by analyzing a large number of experimental data. Based on the result of analysis, we proposed the relationship function of the variance of RSSI and distance, and established the log-normal shadowing model with dynamic variance (LNSM-DV). At the same time, the method of least squares(LS) was selected to es- timate the coefficients in that model, thus LNSM-DV might be adjusted dynamically according to the change of environment and be self-adaptable. The experimental results show that LNSM-DV can further reduce er- ror, and have strong self-adaptability to various environments compared with the LNSM.
Increased Postoperative Bleeding Risk among Patients with Local Flap Surgery under Continued Clopidogrel Therapy

Purpose. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the influence of a continued antiplatelet therapy with clopidogrel on postoperative bleeding risk in patients undergoing skin tumor resection and reconstruction with local flaps or skin grafts under outpatient conditions. Patients and Methods. The authors designed and implemented a retrospective clinical cohort study at the General Hospital Balingen. The primary endpoint was the bleeding ratio in patients with clopidogrel treatment in comparison to patients without any anticoagulant or antiplatelet therapy. Wound healing was evaluated on days 1, 3, 5, 7, 10, and 14. Results. 650 procedures were performed, 123 of them under continued clopidogrel therapy. There were significantly more postoperative bleeding complications among patients with continued antiplatelet therapy. Regarding the whole study population, malignant lesions, a larger defect size, and skin grafts were accompanied by a higher rate of bleeding incidents. However, there were no significant findings in the univariate analysis of the clopidogrel group. All bleeding incidents were easily manageable. Conclusion. Despite an increased bleeding ratio among patients under continued clopidogrel therapy, the performance of simple surgical procedures can be recommended. However, cautious preparation and careful hemostasis are indispensable.
Pharmacogenetics of new analgesics

Patient phenotypes in pharmacological pain treatment varies between individuals, which could be partly assigned to their genotypes regarding the targets of classical analgesics (OPRM1, PTGS2) or associated signalling pathways (KCNJ6). Translational and genetic research have identified new targets, for which new analgesics are being developed. This addresses voltage‐gated sodium, calcium and potassium channels, for which SCN9A, CACNA1B, KCNQ2 and KCNQ3, respectively, are primary gene candidates because they code for the subunits of the respective channels targeted by analgesics currently in clinical development. Mutations in voltage gated transient receptor potential (TRPV) channels are known from genetic pain research and may modulate the effects of analgesics under development targeting TRPV1 or TRPV3. To this add ligand‐gated ion channels including nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, ionotropic glutamate‐gated receptors and ATP‐gated purinergic P2X receptors with most important subunits coded by CHRNA4, GRIN2B and P2RX7. Among G protein coupled receptors, δ‐opioid receptors (coded by OPRD1), cannabinoid receptors (CNR1 and CNR2), metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluR5 coded by GRM5), bradykinin B1 (BDKRB1) and 5‐HT1A (HTR1A) receptors are targeted by new analgesic substances. Finally, nerve growth factor (NGFB), its tyrosine kinase receptor (NTRK1) and the fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) have become targets of interest. For most of these genes, functional variants have been associated with neuro‐psychiatric disorders and not yet with analgesia. However, research on the genetic modulation of pain has already identified variants in these genes, relative to pain, which may facilitate the pharmacogenetic assessments of new analgesics. The increased number of candidate pharmacogenetic modulators of analgesic actions may open opportunities for the broader clinical implementation of genotyping information.

Low salinity oil recovery - an experimental investigation

The idea of injecting low salinity water into a petroleum reservoir is not novel and was often used in the 70s prior to the injection of surfactant. Recently it was shown that simply injecting sufficiently low salinity water improves oil recovery. Many possible mechanisms concerning low-salinity waterflood have been proposed in the literature. This paper describes an experimental investigation into some of the factors controlling the increased oil recovery observed when low salinity brine is injected into oil saturated reservoir core samples. Extensive chemical analyses were performed on the effluent showing the extent of interaction between the injected brine, the oil and the rock matrix.
Thermal radiation from magnetic neutron star surfaces

We investigate the thermal emission from magnetic neutron star surfaces in which the cohesive effects of the magnetic field have produced the condensation of the atmosphere and the external layers. This may happen for sufficiently cool (T ≤ 10 6 ) atmospheres with moderately intense magnetic fields (about 10 13 G for Fe atmospheres). The thermal emission from an isothermal bare surface of a neutron star shows no remarkable spectral features, but it is significantly depressed at energies below some threshold energy. However, since the thermal conductivity is very different in the normal and parallel directions to the magnetic field lines, the presence of the magnetic field is expected to produce a highly anisotropic temperature distribution, depending on the magnetic field geometry. In this case the observed flux of such an object looks very similar to a BB spectrum, but depressed by a nearly constant factor at all energies. This results in a systematic underestimation of the area of the emitter (and therefore its size) by a factor 5-10 (2-3).
Compartment Syndrome Following Robotic Pelvic Urological Surgery: Diagnosis and Management

with a similar mechanism of injury in each location. Increasing its content or decreasing the size of the compartment can raise compartment pressure. This triggers a vicious cycle whereby increased venous pressure causes an increased capillary pressure and the increase in exudate increases the content of the compartment further. De-creasing tissue perfusion by reducing arteriolar pressure even-tually increases capillary permeability and causes a further in-crease in exudate. Muscle and nerve necrosis follows, causing the earliest clinical signs of compartment syndrome. Figure 1
Handheld Capillary Blood Lactate Analyzer as an Accessible and Cost-Effective Prognostic Tool for the Assessment of Death and Heart Failure Occurrence during Long-Term Follow-Up

Impact of tissue lactate accumulation on prognosis after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is biased. The study aimed to assess the prognostic role of lactate concentration (LC) in patients with AMI during one year of follow-up. 145 consecutive patients admitted due to AMI were enrolled. The data on the frequency of endpoint occurrence (defined as I, death; II, heart failure (HF); and III, recurrent myocardial infarction (re-MI)) were collected. The patients were divided into group A (LC below the cut-off value) and group B (LC above the cut-off value) for the endpoints according to receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. The cumulative survival rate was 99% in group I-A and 85% in group I-B (p = 0.0004, log-rank test). The HF-free survival rate was 95% in group II-A and 82% in group II-B (p = 0.0095, log-rank test). The re-MI-free survival rate did not differ between groups. A multivariate Cox analysis showed a statistically significant influence of LC on death [Hazard Ratio (HR): 1.41, 95% Confidence Interval (CI) (1.13–1.76), and p = 0.002] and HF [HR: 1.21, 95% CI (1.05–1.4), and p = 0.007] with no impact on re-MI occurrence. LC in capillary blood may be considered a useful prognostic marker of late-onset heart failure and death after AMI.
