Exploring featherweight industry PLM solutions for academic use

There is no doubt that PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) solutions are improving data sharing and decision making during product development in industry and beyond. CAD (Computer Aided Design) and document data are tied into product BOM (Bill of Material) structures, revision control is effective and change orders are well managed. This is appropriate for a professional environment with experienced design engineers, working on a project that often has a long life. However, undergraduate design engineers lack experience, working in many informal environments on projects with a short life. In many student group projects, data can be poorly controlled and decision making can be ad hoc. It can be suggested that students need PLM or PDM (Product Data Management) software to remedy this problem-many solutions, however, go beyond the scope and technical skill level of many student projects, with little benefit in short time scales. Even lightweight solutions are geared towards SMEâs (Small to Medium Enterprise) as opposed to a handful of students working on a 6 month project. There is a steep learning curve in effectively using current PLM/PDM software. For students, product data management needs to be intuitive and second nature; a featherweight solution is required. Students require the system to have an appropriate attitude and behaviour to CAD data storage, revision control and decision making in order to use advanced PLM systems effectively. This way of working can improve the quality of group design projects as well as giving graduates the basic skills to approach PLM themes professionally in their industrial careers. This paper explores the approaches and technologies available to give students the necessary skills for effective product data management.
Offloading Haskell functions onto an FPGA

Hardware and software co-design is becoming more relevant for embedded system designs due to the increasing need for complex systems. However, co-design is introduces several new difficulties and current tooling is still not mature enough. CλaSH is a functional hardware description language (HDL) developed at the CAES group of the University of Twente. CλaSH borrows both the syntax and semantics from the purely functional programming language Haskell, which is closely related to mathematics and subsequently hardware architectures. Within this thesis, research is performed on offloading Haskell functions onto an FPGA using CλaSH and how to subsequently call upon them. The thesis focusses on two parts: a framework for function offloading and a proof of concept for automating function offloading. An implementation is made on a SoC containing an ARM processor and an FPGA, as is be described in this thesis, to show the feasibility and performance of these two partitions.
Distributed on Demand Logging using Secured Cloud Service

Log records are important part of an organization. Maintaining log records securely for a longer period of time is important for proper functioning of any organization. Since log files contain record of system events, the confidentiality and privacy of log data should be maintained and also integrity of log data and logging process should be ensured. The log data are stored in the server with in an organization for a fixed time and sent to the cloud . There will be a great chance of attack when log data are stored in plain text in the server of an organization. However, deploying a secure logging framework is one of the main difficulties that an organization faces in this new era. In this paper, we present an approach for secure logging by which log data can be sent to the cloud directly at run time.
Dyslipidemia in Childhood Obesity: A Review

Childhood obesity has become epidemic in developed as well as developing countries. Apart from genetic factors, changes of lifestyle like consumption of excess calorie rich food, lack of physical activity and increased screen time are major contributing factors for childhood obesity. Many co-morbid conditions like cardiovascular, metabolic, neurological, hepatic, pulmonary, orthopedic, and renal disorders are associated with childhood obesity. It has both immediate medical complications as well as long term health consequences in later life. The most hazardous consequences like the cardiovascular disorder occur due to early athrosclerotic process which is accelerated due to dyslipidemia. As a result dyslipidemia is an important etiologic factor for development of cardiovascular disease (CVD), which is a leading cause of death in adulthood throughout the world. As abnormal vascular changes begins in childhood, and as dyslipidemia is an significant risk factor for CVD, screening and treatment of dyslipidemia in obese children and adolescents are an important health issue to prevent development metabolic syndrome and its consequences.

Korean Practice Guideline for Gastric Cancer 2018: an Evidence-based, Multi-disciplinary Approach

Background Gastric cancer is the most common cancer and the fourth most common cause of cancer death in South Korea [1]. Despite the large number of gastric cancer patients newly diagnosed and treated annually in South Korea, there has been no appropriate practice guideline for domestic medical situations. Although Korean guidelines for gastric cancer were published through interdisciplinary collaborations in 2004 and 2014 [2,3], they were not widely used in South Korea. Therefore, we have produced the present clinical practice guideline to create guidelines that can provide the standard of gastric cancer treatment in accordance with the medical reality in South Korea.
Modeling, analysis and evaluation of adaptive routing strategies

The use of adaptive routing in interconnection networks is one approach to improving the performance of large scale multicomputer systems. In adaptive routing, network state information can be used in selecting the path taken by a message from its source to its destination. This type of routing is flexible, and can take advantage of network features in order to reduce communication costs. However, adaptive routing is complex, and at present not enough is known about the relationship between its design parameters and system performance. The research described in this dissertation is a study of adaptive routing in k-ary n-cube networks. It has two objectives: (1) to assess the potential improvement in network performance that can be achieved by using adaptive routing instead of the currently popular dimension ordered routing schemes, and (2) to identify the design issues that affect performance, and to measure and characterize their effect. The performance study was conducted analytically through the derivation of queueing models for idealized adaptive routing, in conjunction with extensive simulation experiments. The network parameters investigated include buffer organization, message selection policy, path selection policy, and deadlock avoidance technique. Networks with various choices of these parameters were proposed, and their performances were compared to each other as well as to that of a network with dimension ordered routing.
Die Thermotherapie als Mittel zur Heilung phytoplasmenverseuchten Vermehrungsguts

Le but de l'investigation etait de voir si l'on pouvait combattre la transmission de la maladie du jaunissement due a un phytoplasma lors du greffage, par la termotherapie. On a immerge pour cela des bois de vigne dormants du cepage Riesling dans des bains d'eau chaude a 45 °C et 50 °C. A 45 °C les bois ont ete immerges pendant 8 ou 16 heures et a 50 °C entre 20 min. et 2 heures. Les investigations ont porte sur des boutures et sur des greffons. Le materiel traite a l'eau chaude presenta un retard au debourrement indeniable: les bois du controle debourrerent sous 2 semaines alors que ceux traites necessiterent une periode minimale de 6 semaines. La formation des cals ne fut pas influence notablement par le traitement a la thermotherapie. Il faut donc en conclure que la mise en pepiniere de bois de vignes traites a l'eau chaude ne peut suivre l'evolution du debourrement des greffes en chambres de forcage. Ceci, dans nos essais a conduit a des pertes importantes. Dans tous les cas le test de solidite est une aide dans la separation des greffes qui peuvent etre mis en pepinieres de ceux qui doivent etre jetes. A aucun des niveaux de traitement on a rencontre des vignes presentant des symptomes de jaunissement. En comparaison les controles presenterent des taux de maladies de 18 a 6,5% chez les boutures et de 2% chez les greffes-soudes. Toutefois les niveaux de traitement se differencient en fonction de leur influence sur le materiel sain: Sur la base de nos investigation on peut dire que le passage a l'eau chaude a 50 °C pendant 45 a 60 min. n'entraine pas de degâts economiquement notables sur les boutures. Le passage a l'eau chaude des greffons a 50 °C pendant 20 a 45 min. n'a pas d'influence car dans tous les cas de figure la mortalite etait importante. Cependant et a moins que le taux de perte nejoue pas un role important (par exemple dans le cas de l'assainissement d'un clone), le passage des greffons a la thermotheraie n'est pas recommandable. Aux vues de l'effectivite d'un cote, mais aussi a cause des conditions climatiques en Allemagne qui entrainent de nombreux degâts faut considerer la thermotherapie comme un procede phytosanitaire utile dans certaines conditions, mais qui n'est pas encore mur pour etre mis en pratique de facon routiniere.
Improving Performance of Nursing Documentation Based on Knowledge Management Through Seci Concept Model’s

Introduction: Documentation of nursing care in Kalianget RSI in 2011 was totaled average 58,1% and in 2012 achieve was still low. According the lowest component was nursing diagnosis. This research aims to improve the performance of nursing care documentation based on knowledge management through the SECI Model’s concept in Garam Kalianget RSI Sumenep District.Method: Design of this research was action research. Population and sample in the research of knowledge, motivation and work responsibility were all nurses total ed 29 people. The dependent variable were knowledge, performance, motivation, work responsibility, and performance after intervention knowledge management (KM) and as independent variable in this research was knowledge, performance, and intervention research knowledge management in documentation nursing care. Data were collected by using questionnaires and checklists.Result: The results after the SECI model’s intervention and using Paired t Test with a 95% confidence level of knowledge obtained p = 0.0001 which means that there was a significant knowledge difference between before and after intervention, comparison of performance documenting of nursing care obtained value ρ = 0.004, which means there was a difference significant performance between before and after intervention. Comparison of SBAR effective communication performance values obtained ρ = 0.001, which means there was a significant performance difference between before and after intervention.Discussion: Knowledge management through SECI model’s has important role in improving performance documentation of nursing care and SBAR effective communication. It is recommended to do in forum sharing nurse’s experience or informant in practical communication in periodic, recording, documentation, and keep document well and doing supervision continously especially form nursing care and SBAR effective communication.
Variabilité de la taille et de la composition en acides gras des globules gras du lait chez la vache laitière

Les mecanismes de synthese des acides gras (AG), les facteurs d'elevage qui permettent de les moduler et les relations entre la composition en AG et les principales composantes du lait commencent a etre bien connus. Ce n'est pas encore le cas pour la taille des globules gras (GG) du lait. L'objectif de ce travail est de preciser les relations entre la taille des GG, la production laitiere (PL) et la composition fine du lait (AG et matieres proteiques). Une analyse multivariable, combinant une analyse en composantes principales et une analyse discriminante, a ete menee sur 2 jeux de donnees composes de 206 et 109 vaches laitieres (VL) caracterisees par des variables de PL, de composition du lait, de profil en AG et de taille de GG. Cette analyse a ete completee par un essai etudiant la PL et la composition fine du lait de VL secretant leur MG sous forme de petits GG ou de gros GG. Ces 2 approches ont permis de montrer que la taille des GG est correlee negativement avec la PL, la matiere proteique (MP) et le calcium produit et positivement avec les TB et TP. Ceci laisse penser que les VL produisant de petits GG ont une activite de synthese de lait et de proteines plus intense. La taille des GG n'est pas liee a la quantite de MG produite. La teneur en membrane dans la MG est plus elevee chez les VL secretant des petits GG. La taille des GG est liee negativement a la teneur et a la quantite secretee quotidiennement d'AG mono-insatures et au rapport C18:1/C18:0 et positivement a la teneur et a la quantite secretee quotidiennement d'AG courts. Ces resultats laissent donc envisager de nouvelles perspectives d'amelioration de la qualite de la MG couplant taille et composition des GG. Les mecanismes impliques dans la secretion des GG restent encore a determiner.
EL NERVIO LARÍNGEO SUPERIOR EN LA CIRUGÍA DEL TIROIDES

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: Injury to external branch of superior laryngeal nerve during thyroid surgery can have serious consequences. METHOD: A strategy for perioperative identification and preservation of the superior laryngeal nerve was evaluated by experimental study in 30 adult mongrel dogs model weighing 45 to 55 pounds were used after approval by the animal studies committee at the Central University School of Medicine. RESULTS: These showed that 20 % of external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve run distally through the pharyngeal constrictor muscle, which necessitates intramuscular dissection for identification in the area around the superior thyroid pole. In 23 % of external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve identifiable without intramuscular dissection, a course partly lateral to the superior thyroid artery its branches implied definitive risk of injury during division of the superior pole vessels. 72 % of the external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve was identifiable without intramuscular dissection, and 19 % of these were lateral partly to the superior thyroid artery. Only one patient had signs of external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve injury postoperatively, probably caused by diathermy to an adjacent vessel. CONCLUSION: Perioperative identification of external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve with dissection into the pharyngeal constrictor muscle appears to be inadvisable, but identification of external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve with other courses is important, as around 20 % are highly vulnerable during division of the superior thyroid artery and its branches.
Food for Thought: Children's Diets in the 1990s

This policy brief suggests that efforts by policymakers to lower childrenâ€™s fat intakes appear to be succeeding, but that high intakes of dietary fat and added sugars remain a cause for concern. Other problem areas include an increase in soda consumption, especially low levels of vitamin and mineral intake for teenage girls, and the large percentage of children who fail to eat the recommended number of servings of the five major food groups.
Hidden Knowledge in Aesthetic JudgmentsPreferences for color and spatial composition

Aesthetic science is intended to be an interdisciplinary enterprise in which people from a wide variety of fi elds — including art practice, design, philosophy, psychology, art criticism, neuroscience, art history, sociology, cultural anthropology, and others — engage in a meaningful scholarly exchange aimed at understanding aesthetics and its role in the human condition throughout history. A natural starting point would be to provide a working defi nition of aesthetics . Much has been written on this subject, but there seems to be surprisingly little agreement. For purposes of the present chapter, we take aesthetics to be the study of that dimension of human experience anchored at the positive end by feelings that would elicit verbal expressions such as, “Oh wow! Th at’s great! I love it! ” and at the negative end by “Ugh! Th at’s awful! I hate it! ” Clearly, it would be preferable somehow to ground such a defi nition in the external world, but doing so is surprisingly diffi cult. In defi ning more “objective” experiential dimensions, such as redness , one can augment a subjective defi nition by pointing to easily identifi able, prototypical examples: Redness is that chromatic experience common to the visual appearance of ripe strawberries, fresh blood, Coca-Cola cans, fi re hydrants, and so forth, when viewed under standard daylight conditions. Unfortunately, this strategy is not available for aesthetics simply because people’s aesthetic responses to such putative prototypes are too variable. If one were to claim, for instance, that aesthetics refers to the kind of experience that is common to one’s perceptions of Van Gogh’s Starry Night , Michelangelo’s David , Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony , Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater, a perfectly shaped rose, etc., at least two important problems arise. One is that people’s aesthetic responses diff er so greatly that there may be some individuals who have strongly negative aesthetic experiences to all of the supposedly positive prototypes. Th e lack of agreement about aesthetic response even to such prototypes eff ectively derails the “exemplar” strategy. Another problem is that aesthetic response, at least in our view, does not refer just to positive experiences or even just to extreme experiences. We assume that everyone has some sort of aesthetic response to everything he or she encounters
An application oriented guideline for choosing a prognostic tool

Prognostic is nowadays recognized as a key feature in maintenance strategies as it should allow avoiding inopportune maintenance spending. Real prognostic systems are however scarce in industry. That can be explained from different aspects, on of them being the difficulty of choosing an efficient technology: many approaches to support the prognostic process exist, whose applicability is highly dependent on industrial constraints. Thus, the objective of the paper is to dress up a guideline to choose a suitable prediction technique, i.e., to enable industrials to point out a method that fit their real applications restrictions. In this way, prognostic approaches are studied from both the academic and industrial points of view. A cross view of the prognostic problem is also given in order to establish a common perception of it. Finally, an innovative classification of prognostic approaches is proposed. A guideline to choose a prognostic tool follows from it.
A Framework to Measure the Service Quality of Distributor with Fuzzy Graph Theoretic Approach

A combination of fuzzy logic and graph theoretic approach has been used to find the service quality of distributor in a manufacturing supply chain management. This combination is termed as the fuzzy graph theoretic (FGT) approach. Initially the identified factors were grouped by SPSS (statistical package for social science) software and then the digraph approach was applied. The interaction and inheritance values were calculated by fuzzy graph theory approach in terms of permanent function. Then a single numerical index was calculated by using permanent function which indicates the distributor service quality. This method can be used to compare the service quality of different distributors.
Causes of Mortality in Patients with the Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome 1 - 3

This study analyzed the factors causing and contributing to death in patients with the adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Two hundred seven patients were prospectively identified as being at risk for development of ARDS. Forty-seven patients developed ARDS, and the remaining 160 patients were used as a comparison control group. The severity of dysfunction in 8 organ systems and the presence of sepsis syndrome were determined by chart review after discharge or death. Sepsis syndrome was specifically defined by signs and laboratory tests reflecting infection or inflammation plus evidence of a deleterious systemic effect (hypotension, reduced systemic vascular resistance, or unexplained metabolic acidosis). Mortality was 68% in the ARDS group compared to 34% in the control group (p < 0.005). Only 16% (5 of 32) of deaths in the ARDS group were from irreversible respiratory failure. Most deaths in the first 3 days after entry into the study could be attributed to the underlying illness or injury. The .
Boosting Passage Retrieval through Reuse in Question Answering

Question Answering (QA) is an emerging important field in Information Retrieval. In a QA system the archive of previous questions asked from the system makes a collection full of useful factual nuggets. This paper makes an initial attempt to investigate the reuse of facts contained in the archive of previous questions to help and gain performance in answering future related factoid questions. It models the role of facts in questions through discourse transition of user question answering process, and presents approaches to identify and extract these facts with the help of lexical semantic resources. Strategies to implement the reuse of facts to boost query generation in the passage retrieval stage of a QA system as well as ideas on system evaluation are discussed.
Adaptive Identification for Self-Tuning Controllers Design

The analysis and implementation of an adaptive identification method for the tuning of self-tuning controllers is presented. Real-time identification of the plant to be controlled allows online availability of its parameters to tune a digital controller via the method of dynamic assignment of poles and zeros in a “Self Tuning Regulator (STR)” control configuration. The operation of this proposal is based on the execution of two consecutive processes: on one hand, identification of the plant through estimation; and on the other hand the subsequent calculation of controller's set of poles and zeros. These tasks are executed between successive instants of sampling, achieving in this way real time selftuning of the controller. Starting from the algorithmic formulation of the proposed identification method besides its computational simulation, functional verification was carried out through the design and development of a DSP platform, which fulfills didactic and research needs in academic subjects like Control Systems and Digital Signal Processing. In this way, a system for self-tuning of a digital controller is available, using the RLS algorithm for plant identification. The operation of the system was verified using known second and third order plants, obtaining results that confirm correct operation of the system as described in the text of this work.
