Collaborating AI and human experts in the maintenance domain
Authors: Illankoon Prasanna , Tretten Phillip 
Published: October 2020

AbstractMaintenance decision errors can result in very costly problems. The 4th industrial revolution has given new opportunities for the development of and use of intelligent decision support systems. With these technological advancements, key concerns focus on gaining a better understanding of the linkage between the technicians’ knowledge and the intelligent decision support systems. The research reported in this study has two primary objectives. (1) To propose a theoretical model that links technicians’ knowledge and intelligent decision support systems, and (2) to present a use case how to apply the theoretical model. The foundation of the new model builds upon two main streams of study in the decision support literature: “distribution” of knowledge among different agents, and “collaboration” of knowledge for reaching a shared goal. This study resulted in the identification of two main gaps: firstly, there must be a greater focus upon the technicians’ knowledge; secondly, technicians need assistance to maintain their focus on the big picture. We used the cognitive fit theory, and the theory of distributed situation awareness to propose the new theoretical model called “distributed collaborative awareness model.” The model considers both explicit and implicit knowledge and accommodates the dynamic challenges involved in operational level maintenance. As an application of this model, we identify and recommend some technological developments required in augmented reality based maintenance decision support.
Peculiarities in Leidenfrost water droplet evaporation
Authors: Orzechowski Tadeusz 
Published: October 2020

AbstractThe investigations involved a large water droplet deposited on the heating surface, the temperature of which was higher than the Leidenfrost point. The main element of the experimental setup was the heating cylinder with K-type shielded thermocouple located in its centre just below the surface. The measuring system was located on highly sensitive scales. The analysis of the droplet behaviour in time was conducted based on measured droplet mass changes over time and also photographic data recorded with high resolution digital camera. The energy balance equation is given for the assumption that evaporation from the droplet upper surface is small compared with the amount of heat dissipated from the bottom surface. The formula for the heat transfer coefficient depends on two slope values and an orthogonal projection of the drop onto the heating surface. The slopes are estimated based on the droplet diameter linear time dependence and mass versus the contact zone relationship. The solution provides a good representation of droplet evaporation under Leidenfrost conditions. The investigations, reported in the study, which concern water droplet at atmospheric pressure deposited on a hot surface with the temperature higher than the Leidenfrost point, indicate the following regularities: droplet orthogonal projection onto the heating surface changes linearly with the droplet mass, evaporation of the same amount of mass decreases linearly with an increase in the heating surface temperature, slope of the graph showing mass loss versus the heating surface temperature successively decreases.

Published: October 2020

AbstractDue to the exacerbation of the disease, the rehabilitation of patients with rheumatoid arthritis is often limited. The aim of the study was to analyze the impact of a comprehensive rehabilitation on a subjective perception of pain and quality of life in patients with rheumatoid arthritis depending on the level of disease activity. The study involved 58 women with rheumatoid arthritis aged 18–60, who underwent a 4-weeks comprehensive rehabilitation program. The assessment included the disease activity level on the DAS28 scale, pain intensity on the 10-point pain scale (VAS) and the value of the CRP protein. The HAQ-DI and KALU questionnaire were used to assess the quality of life. In both groups (group A—DAS28 < 4.2, group B—DAS28 ≥ 4.2) the statistically significant effects in decreasing the level of pain and improvement of quality of life were observed. This indicates the need and effectiveness of rehabilitation regardless of the level of activity of rheumatoid arthritis according to the DAS28 scale. There were no significant changes in the CRP protein level. In conclusion, the rehabilitation of patients with moderate to high disease activity is effective and the success of comprehensive rehabilitation is demonstrated by the decrease of the DAS28 score and the pain level reported by patients, as well as improving self-assessment of health and quality of life.

Abstract
Objective
To perform a radiological review of mammograms from prior screening and diagnosis of screen-detected breast cancer in BreastScreen Norway, a population-based screening program.

Methods
We performed a consensus-based informed review of mammograms from prior screening and diagnosis for screen-detected breast cancers. Mammographic density and findings on screening and diagnostic mammograms were classified according to the Breast Imaging-Reporting and Data System®. Cases were classified based on visible findings on prior screening mammograms as true (no findings), missed (obvious findings), minimal signs (minor/non-specific findings), or occult (no findings at diagnosis). Histopathologic tumor characteristics were extracted from the Cancer Registry of Norway. The Bonferroni correction was used to adjust for multiple testing; p < 0.001 was considered statistically significant.

Results
The study included mammograms for 1225 women with screen-detected breast cancer. Mean age was 62 years ± 5 (SD); 46% (567/1225) were classified as true, 22% (266/1225) as missed, and 32% (392/1225) as minimal signs. No difference in mammographic density was observed between the classification categories. At diagnosis, 59% (336/567) of true and 70% (185/266) of missed cancers were classified as masses (p = 0.004). The percentage of histological grade 3 cancers was higher for true (30% (138/469)) than for missed (14% (33/234)) cancers (p < 0.001). Estrogen receptor positivity was observed in 86% (387/469) of true and 95% (215/234) of missed (p < 0.001) cancers.

Conclusions
We classified 22% of the screen-detected cancers as missed based on a review of prior screening mammograms with diagnostic images available. One main goal of the study was quality improvement of radiologists’ performance and the program. Visible findings on prior screening mammograms were not necessarily indicative of screening failure.

Key Points
• After a consensus-based informed review, 46% of screen-detected breast cancers were classified as true, 22% as missed, and 32% as minimal signs.
• Less favorable prognostic and predictive tumor characteristics were observed in true screen-detected breast cancer compared with missed.
• The most frequent mammographic finding for all classification categories at the time of diagnosis was mass, while the most frequent mammographic finding on prior screening mammograms was a mass for missed cancers and asymmetry for minimal signs.
On the feasibility of selective spatial correlation to accelerate convergence of PIV image analysis based on confidence statistics
Authors: Edwards M. , Theunissen R. , Allen C. B. , Poole D. J. 
Published: October 2020

AbstractThis paper presents a method which allows for a reduced portion of a particle image velocimetry (PIV) image to be analysed, without introducing numerical artefacts near the edges of the reduced region. Based on confidence intervals of statistics of interest, such a region can be determined automatically depending on user-imposed confidence requirements, allowing for already satisfactorily converged regions of the field of view to be neglected in further analysis, offering significant computational benefits. Temporal fluctuations of the flow are unavoidable even for very steady flows, and the magnitude of such fluctuations will naturally vary over the domain. Moreover, the non-linear modulation effects of the cross-correlation operator exacerbate the perceived temporal fluctuations in regions of strong spatial displacement gradients. It follows, therefore, that steady, uniform, flow regions will require fewer contributing images than their less steady, spatially fluctuating, counterparts within the same field of view, and hence the further analysis of image pairs may be solely driven by small, isolated, non-converged regions. In this paper, a methodology is presented which allows these non-converged regions to be identified and subsequently analysed in isolation from the rest of the image, while ensuring that such localised analysis is not adversely affected by the reduced analysis region, i.e. does not introduce boundary effects, thus accelerating the analysis procedure considerably. Via experimental analysis, it is shown that under typical conditions a 44% reduction in the required number of correlations for an ensemble solution is achieved, compared to conventional image processing routines while maintaining a specified level of confidence over the domain.Graphic abstract

Abstract
Purpose
Due to limited health literacy and resulting ineffective communication between healthcare professionals and patients, not all eligible patients are offered breast cancer genetic counseling and testing. We aimed to develop a plain-language guide to increase effective communication about genetic counseling and testing with breast cancer patients with limited health literacy.

Methods
Together with oncological healthcare professionals, we drafted a list of jargon words frequently used during (breast) cancer genetic counseling. In a focus group interview with breast cancer counselees with limited health literacy, who had received genetic counseling before, we reformulated these words in plain language. Low-literate individuals, who are not familiar with breast cancer care or genetic counseling, reflected on the draft of the guide. Completeness, acceptability, and perceived usability were tested in an online questionnaire among healthcare professionals.

Results
The result is a plain-language guide for genetic counseling and testing with 33 frequently used jargon words and a reformulation of these words in plain language. Acceptability and perceived usefulness of the guide among healthcare professionals (n = 58) were high.

Conclusion
The plain-language guide provides opportunities to facilitate communication about genetic counseling and testing with patients with limited health literacy and could enhance opportunities for patients to make informed decisions to participate in genetic testing. As the intention from healthcare professionals to use the plain-language guide is high, implementation of the guide in a real-life setting seems promising.
Large-eddy simulation of turbulent flows over an urban building array with the ABLE-LBM and comparison with 3D MRI observed data sets
Authors: Wang Yansen , Benson Michael J. 
Published: October 2020

AbstractIn this article we describe the details of an ABLE-LBM (Atmospheric Boundary Layer Environment-Lattice Boltzmann Model) validation study for urban building array turbulent flow simulations. The ABLE-LBM large-eddy simulation results were compared with a set of 3D magnetic resonance image (MRI) velocimetry data. The ABLE-LBM simulations used the same building layout and Reynolds numbers operated in the laboratory water channel. The building set-up was an evenly spaced orthogonal array of cubic buildings (height = H) with a central tall building (height = 3H) in the second row. Two building orientations, angled with 0°and 45° wind directions, were simulated with ABLE-LBM. The model produced horizontal and vertical fields of time-averaged velocity fields and compared well with the experimental results. The model also produced urban canyon flows and vortices at front and lee sides and over building tops that were similar in strength and location to the laboratory studies. The turbulent kinetic energy associated with these two wind directions were also presented in this simulation study. It is shown that the building array arrangement, especially the tall building, has a great effect on turbulent wind fields. There is a Karman vortex street on the lee side of the tall building. High turbulent intensity areas are associated with the vortex shedding motions at building edges. In addition, the wind direction is a very important factor for turbulent wind and kinetic energy distribution. This validation study indicated that ABLE-LBM is a viable simulation model for turbulent atmospheric boundary layer flows in the urban building array. The computational speed of ABLE-LBM using the GPU has shown that real-time LES simulation is realizable for a computational domain with several millions grid points.
SES inequalities in cause-specific adult mortality: a study of the long-term trends using longitudinal individual data for Sweden (1813–2014)
Authors: Debiasi Enrico , Dribe Martin 
Published: October 2020

AbstractHigher socioeconomic status (SES) is associated with lower mortality, and this correlation has been confirmed using different indicators across several geographical settings. Nevertheless, the timing of the emergence of the SES gradient remains unclear. We used individual-level longitudinal data for a regional population in southern Sweden covering the period between 1813 and 2014, and we applied a cause-specific proportional hazard model. We estimated SES differences in all-cause, nonpreventable, preventable, and cause-specific adult mortality in four subperiods (1813–1921, 1922–1967, 1968–1989, 1990–2014) by gender adjusting for birth year, place of residence, marital status, and migration status. The SES gradient in mortality present today for both genders emerged only around 1970, and with few exceptions, it emerged at approximately the same time for all causes of death. It emerged earlier for women than for men, particularly in infectious diseases. In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, we found a positive association between SES and mortality from circulatory diseases for men. SES has not always been a fundamental cause of mortality; it only emerged as such in the second half of the twentieth century. We argue that habits and behaviors embedded in the different social strata played a major role in the emergence of the SES gradient.
Three-dimensional dynamics of nitrogen from banded enhanced efficiency fertilizers
Authors: Janke Chelsea K. , Moody Philip , Bell Michael J. 
Published: October 2020

AbstractA range of enhanced efficiency fertilizers (EEFs) have been developed in response to widespread recognition of poor nitrogen (N) use efficiency (NUE) in agriculture; however, their effective utilization is not properly understood when applied in sub-surface bands. This study quantified soil chemical changes and the distribution of N species that arose from sub-surface banding of urea, a controlled release polymer-coated urea (PCU) and urea coated with either nitrification inhibitors (NIs) or a urease inhibitor (UI), over 71 days in a field trial. Banding NIs extended the duration of nitrification inhibition for up to 50 days longer than banded urea, although the duration of NI-conferred inhibition was dependant on the rate of NI-urea application. The UI preserved urea-N at a concentration which was 16-fold higher cf. standard urea over 7 days, but no urea-N was detected after 21 days. This suggests that the NUE benefits of UIs are transient when applied in sub-surface bands. Slow release of urea-N from banded PCU resulted in lower concentrations of N in the soil solution. This reduced N dispersal by ca. 50 mm cf. urea, resulting in a N-enriched zone which was considerably smaller. Relatively benign chemical conditions around PCU bands enabled rates of nitrification (NH4–N:NO3–N ratio of 46%) which were similar to urea. Collectively, these results demonstrate the relative efficacy and risks of the different EEF technologies, when applied in fertilizer bands. This knowledge supports the effective utilization of band-applied EEFs for improved NUE in agricultural systems.
Stickiness in academic career (im)mobilities of STEM early career researchers: an insight from Greece
Authors: Tzanakou Charikleia 
Published: October 2020

AbstractAcademic and policy discourse has idealised academic mobility despite studies showing that it can have adverse effects on individuals’ experiences and contribute towards exacerbating existing inequalities. This article focuses on career (im)mobility stories of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) early career researchers that are variously sticky with emotion and affect. It places emphasis on the challenges, frictions and emotional tensions for early career researchers as part of this decision-making, irrespective of whether they decide to move or not. To do this, it deploys the concept of stickiness, which allows investigating the intersection and co-construction of embodied experiences of early career academics with the internationalisation discourse of academic excellence which are not often brought together. Focused on a largely under-examined population and context, it is based on a qualitative analysis of 15 in-depth interviews with a subsample of survey respondents, as part of a mixed methods study of Greek researchers in STEM. This article compares two groups of early career researchers who are seemingly at odds but have a lot in common: those with a highly international outlook moving to build an international profile and those who decide to stay and pursue research aspirations within a national context. Stickiness is demonstrated in two ways: stickiness to establishing an international profile and an academic career dictated by the internationalisation discourse; stickiness to affective considerations which are temporal, fluid and often understated. The main difference is how early career researchers address this stickiness: through the normative international mobility or participation in collaborative funding programmes. This article shows academic mobility is not only associated with benefits but can entail negative implications for individuals. It also provides empirical insights into hidden STEM early career researchers and elaborates a concept of stickiness in academic (im)mobility with discursive and affective layers, highlighting the importance of considering affect in career development scholarship.
A Prospective Study of Rumination and Irritability in Youth
Authors: Leigh Eleanor , Lee Ailsa , Brown Hannah M. , Pisano Simone , Stringaris Argyris 
Published: October 2020

AbstractAlthough youth irritability is linked with substantial psychiatric morbidity and impairment, little is known about how personal characteristics influence its course. In this study we examined the prospective associations between angry and depressive rumination and irritability. A sample of 165 school pupils aged 12–14 years were assessed at two time points six months apart. They completed measures of irritability at Times 1 and 2 and depressive and angry rumination at Time 1. In line with our hypotheses, we found that angry rumination is significantly associated with irritability six months later, over and above baseline irritability and depressive rumination. The present findings suggest angry rumination is relevant to the genesis of irritability in adolescents, and point to possible routes for prevention and early intervention.
The Predictive Value of the AQ and the SRS-A in the Diagnosis of ASD in Adults in Clinical Practice

Published: October 2020

AbstractQuestionnaires are widely used in autism assessment. However, their psychometric properties are generally not evaluated in clinical practice, and the comparability and applicability of such research is limited because questionnaires are often not simultaneously evaluated. This certainly pertains to predictive values which are highly population and setting specific. This study evaluated the power of AQ and SRS-A in predicting an ASD diagnosis within the same clinical population. The patient records of 92 adults, referred for autism assessment, were analyzed. The AQ proved somewhat better than the SRS-A at discriminating and predicting autism. The predictive values of both questionnaires were lower than reported in general population studies. Psychometric results in core publications appear less representative for clinical practice.

Published: October 2020

Abstract
In this study, modified fibrous mats of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) were fabricated through the versatile technique of electrospinning. Acrylic monomers were added to PEO with different composition ratios, and the mats were irradiated. The kinetics of photo-cross-linking reaction in the presence of the acrylic cross-linkers, as well as the structural, thermal and mechanical properties of the nanofibers, were studied. The morphology of the fibrous membranes before and after water treatment was monitored, and the insoluble fraction of the fibers was measured. As a result, by tuning the photo-cross-linking reaction, the control over fibers properties was feasible. The photo-cured PEO-based nanofibrous mats showed the solubility resistance needed to use them as membranes and to apply them in aqueous environments, as in water treatment processes and biomedical applications.

Artificial Intelligence, Values, and Alignment
Authors: Gabriel Iason 
Published: October 2020

AbstractThis paper looks at philosophical questions that arise in the context of AI alignment. It defends three propositions. First, normative and technical aspects of the AI alignment problem are interrelated, creating space for productive engagement between people working in both domains. Second, it is important to be clear about the goal of alignment. There are significant differences between AI that aligns with instructions, intentions, revealed preferences, ideal preferences, interests and values. A principle-based approach to AI alignment, which combines these elements in a systematic way, has considerable advantages in this context. Third, the central challenge for theorists is not to identify ‘true’ moral principles for AI; rather, it is to identify fair principles for alignment that receive reflective endorsement despite widespread variation in people’s moral beliefs. The final part of the paper explores three ways in which fair principles for AI alignment could potentially be identified.
