In the present paper, a proposal for suitable material measures is presented. An algorithm is described, which transforms the data of a real measured profile in a way that the exact defined parameters of

are equated. The material measures geometry corresponds to its later application and the target parameters are almost freely selectable. The approach for transforming surface profile data with the aid of the Abbott curve is introduced generically, solves an inverse problem and considers the influences from the manufacturing and measuring process. The designed material measure is manufactured with the aid of ultra-precision turning. In matters of the aspired industrial application, comparison measurements are carried out in order to examine the practical abilities of the material measure and the repeatability of the approach is proven.

Published: August 2019

Abstract
The solvent finding step has always been a time-consuming job in chemical-involved processes. The source of difficulty mainly comes from the trial-and-errors, as a repetitive process of chosing solvents and mixing them in different proportions. Computers are good at doing repetitive processes; however, they can only deal with numerical values, rather than qulitative scales. Numerification of qualitative parameters (like solubility) has already been introduced. The most recent one is the Hansen solubility parameters (HSPs). Using the HSPs could provide a solvent or solvent-mixture. In our previous study, we introduced a computer-aided model and a software to find a solvent mixture. In this study, we have used the computer-aided solvent selection model to find some solvent mixtures for polyamide 11, a biobased polymer which has attracted enormous attention recently. Using this numerical model significantly diminished the time of solvent development experimentation by decreasing the possible/necessary trials.

Shock index as a predictor of vasopressor use in patients with sepsis
Authors: N. Prashanth V. , . Sneha 
Published: August 2019

Background: Sepsis is life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection. Sepsis and septic shock are major healthcare problems affecting millions of people around the world each year and killing as many as one in four. The documented incidence of sepsis worldwide is 1.8 million each year with mortality rate of almost 30%. Sepsis is the 10th leading cause of death in the United States. Shock index (SI) is defined as “Heart rate divided by Systolic blood pressure (HR/SBP)”. Normal range is 0.5 to 0.7 in healthy adults.Methods: A Prospective study was conducted between August 2018 to March 2019 comprising of 100 consecutive patients presenting to emergency department and ICU with sepsis. Subjects were identified by having evidence of infection presenting with cardiovascular collapse or organ failure with help of q-SOFA(quick- sepsis related organ failure assessment ) and SOFA scores (sequential organ failure assessment score).Cases with clear alternative diagnosis were excluded. Vital signs were recorded, and Shock index was calculated. Primary outcome, which was use of Vasopressor therapy was analysed. Results : A Total of 100 cases were studied, of which 70 patients were males and 30 females with mean age of 48.5 ±16.2 yrs. Most of the cases were between 35 to 60 years. Patients were classified into 3 categories based on shock index:1. <0.8 (normal, n=16) 2. 0.8 to <1.2 (n=29) 3. >1.2 (n=55). The use of vasopressor therapy within first 24 hours for each group was 18%, 34%, and 78%. This difference was statistically significant (p=<0.05).Conclusion : In patients with sepsis an elevated shock index was indicator of early vasopressor therapy in the first 24hours. It is a simple bedside tool to identify septic patients in need for early vasopressor therapy thereby preventing further clinical deterioration.
Preliminary morphological characterization and evaluation of selected Bambara groundnut [Vigna subterranea (L.) Verdc.] genotypes for yield and yield related traits

Published: August 2019

Forty nine (49) Bambara groundnut genotypes derived from single plant selection of diverse origin were evaluated for yield and yield components using 26 yield and yield related traits. Highly significant (P<0.001) differences were detected among the genotypes for canopy spread, petiole length, weight of biomass, seed weight and seed height, while seedling emergence, pod weight, seed length and seed width were significantly different (P<0.05). Principal component analysis identified nine influential components whereby PC1 and PC2highly contributed to the total variation at 19% and 14%, respectively. Leaf colour at emergence, petiole colour, leaf joint pigmentation and calyx colour were highly correlated with PC1, while seed length, seed width and seed height had strong association with PC2. Both the principal component and cluster analyses displayed common association among most of the genotypes for agronomic and seed yield traits. Genotypes that showed high seed yield performance and greater biomass production can be tested for large-scale production, breeding or germplasm conservation.
Active learning through community outreach: A case study of service-learning in a natural hazard, vulnerability and risk class
Authors: Brand Brittany , Sass Margaret , Brascia Kara 
Published: August 2019

The popularity of service-learning is increasing, especially at a time where college students want to make a greater impact in their communities. One place we found that students can make a meaningful impact in their communities is promoting community resiliency to natural hazard events through a community outreach project. This article provides a case study of how incorporating service-learning through a community outreach project can increase student engagement, enhance the depth of understanding of a given topic, build communication and teamwork skills, and contribute meaningfully to the students’ community. This article shares how the instructor of a Natural Hazards, Vulnerability and Risk course implement service-learning through a community outreach project, and provides evidence for how such outreach can enhance student learning and address the common problem of student apathy and disengagement. We also discuss the transferability of our approach to other STEM and social science related courses.

Outcomes of 360° Osteotomy in the Cervicothoracic Spine (C7-T1) for Congenital Cervicothoracic Kyphoscoliosis in Children
Authors: Wang Shengru , Lin Guanfeng , Yang Yang , Cai Siyi , Zhuang Qianyu , Tian Ye , Zhang Jianguo 
Published: August 2019

Background:
There have been many reports on the treatment of congenital kyphoscoliosis. However, congenital deformities in the cervicothoracic spine (C7-T1) have not been well described because of the rarity of these conditions.

Methods:
The medical records and imaging studies of 25 children who were treated with 360° osteotomy for congenital deformities in the cervicothoracic spine (C7-T1) at a mean age of 11.4 years were reviewed.

Results:
All 25 children presented with torticollis; 4 presented with neck pain; 10, with facial asymmetry; and 3, with preoperative neurological deficits. Twenty-three patients had congenital deformities in other regions of the spine. Six patients had a total of 8 intraspinal deformities. On average, the cervicothoracic curve was corrected from 53° preoperatively to 14° at the latest follow-up, the segmental kyphosis was corrected from 25° to 12°, and the head tilt improved from 25° to 5°. Nineteen patients had a total of 28 complications, including 1 transient cord injury together with a permanent C8 nerve root injury, 11 transient nerve root injuries, 1 transient Horner syndrome, 9 cases of decompensation of a compensatory curve, 2 implant failures, 2 cases of hemothorax, 1 dural tear, and 1 case of delayed wound-healing.

Conclusions:
Most congenital cervicothoracic deformities are fixed, and early surgical intervention may be needed. A 360° osteotomy is indicated for this type of rigid deformity and may provide satisfactory correction. However, 360° osteotomy in the cervicothoracic spine (C7-T1) is technically demanding with a higher risk of nerve root injuries, although most injuries tend to be transient. If the compensatory thoracic curve is severe and rigid, 1-stage or staged surgery in this region may be required.

Modeling of Production Decline Caused by Fines Migration in Deepwater Reservoirs
Authors: Tan Yunhui , Li Yan , Rijken Margaretha C. M. , Zaki Karim , Wang Bin , Wu Ruiting , Karazincir Oya , Williams Wade 
Published: August 2019

Summary
Many deepwater wells experience steep productivity declines. Some field observations indicate that this decline is partly attributable to fines-migration effects. In this paper, we present a numerical workflow to simulate the effect (over time) of flow-induced fines migration on production decline in deepwater reservoirs. A permeability-reduction function was extracted from long-term coreflood tests and implemented into a reservoir simulator. Using the permeability-reduction function, production degradation caused by fines migration was simulated in a detailed single-well model. From previous research, it was understood that fines migration does not start until the flow velocity is greater than the critical velocity. After many long-term coreflood tests, or extended fines-migration (EFM) tests, we concluded that the permeability damage induced by fines migration is a function of the pore-volume (PV) throughput (fluid volume flowing through the core divided by the PV of the core). To address these observations, the numerical model was updated such that the interstitial flow velocity was tracked in each individual cell. When the interstitial velocity is greater than the critical velocity, the cell's permeability follows the permeability-reduction trend obtained from laboratory data. Validation of the workflow is performed using a cylinder model to match the laboratory test core-plug data. A detailed 3D model was constructed to study the fines-migration effect in each part of the near-wellbore (e.g., perforation, fracture) region and the reservoir. As expected, fines migration started near the perforation where the flow velocity was the highest. Depending on the permeability-decline rate, the production asymptotes eventually reached a constant value after a certain period. Both the decline rate and the ultimate residual permeability had a strong effect on the final production. Sensitivities were run to study the effect of fines migration in different completions. To the authors’ understanding, this is the first time that laboratory-based fines-migration data were incorporated into a reservoir simulator to predict the production decline using experiment-based fines-migration functions. This workflow will help reservoir engineers predict the damage caused by fines migration, predict production decline, and plan for remediation.
Data-Driven In-Situ Sonic-Log Synthesis in Shale Reservoirs for Geomechanical Characterization
Authors: He Jiabo , Li Hao , Misra Siddharth 
Published: August 2019

SummaryCompressional–travel–time (DTC) and shear–travel–time (DTS) logs acquired using sonic–logging tools are crucial for subsurface geomechanical characterization. In this study, 13 “easy–to–acquire” conventional logs were processed using six shallow–regression–type supervised–learning models—namely, ordinary least squares (OLS), partial least squares (PLS), ElasticNet (EN), least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO), multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS), and artificial–neural network (ANN)—to successfully synthesize DTC and DTS logs. Among the six models, ANN outperforms other models with R2 of 0.87 and 0.85 for the syntheses of DTC and DTS logs, respectively. The six shallow–learning models are trained and tested with 8,481 data points acquired from a 4,240–ft–depth interval of a shale reservoir in Well 1, and the trained models are deployed in Well 2 for purposes of blind testing against 2,920 data points from 1,460–ft–depth interval. After that, five clustering algorithms are applied on subsamples of 13 “easy–to–acquire” logs to identify clusters and compare them with the log–synthesis performance of the shallow–learning models. A dimensionality–reduction algorithm, t–distributed stochastic neighbor embedding (t–SNE), is used to visualize the petrophysical/statistical characteristics of the clustering algorithm. Hierarchical–clustering, density–based spatial clustering of application with noise (DBSCAN), and self–organizing–map (SOM) algorithms are sensitive to outliers and did not effectively differentiate the input data into consistent clusters. A Gaussian–mixture model can differentiate the various formations, but the clusters do not have a strong correlation with the performance of the log–synthesis models. Clusters identified using the K–means method have a strong correlation with the performance of the shallow–learning models. By combining the shallow–learning models for log synthesis with the K–means clustering, we propose a reliable workflow that can synthesize the DTC and DTS logs, as well as generate a reliability indicator for the synthesis logs to help the user better understand the performance of the shallow–learning models during deployment in new wells.
Linkage to Hepatitis C Care After Incarceration in Jail: A Prospective, Single Arm Clinical Trial

Published: August 2019

Abstract
Background: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a major public health problem in correctional settings. HCV treatment is often not possible in U.S. jails due to short lengths of stay. Linkage to care is crucial in these settings, but competing priorities complicate community healthcare engagement and retention after incarceration.

Methods: We conducted a single arm clinical trial of a combined transitional care coordination (TCC) and patient navigation intervention and assessed the linkage rate and factors associated with linkage to HCV care after incarceration.

Results: During the intervention, 84 participants returned to the community after their index incarceration. Most participants were male and Hispanic, with a history of mental illness and a mean age of 45 years. Of those who returned to the community, 26 (31%) linked to HCV care within a median of 20.5 days; 17 (20%) initiated HCV treatment, 15 (18%) completed treatment, 9 (11%) had a follow-up lab drawn to confirm sustained virologic response (SVR), and 7 (8%) had a documented SVR. Among those with follow-up labs the known SVR rate was (7/9) 78%. Expressing a preference to be linked to the participant’s existing health system, being on methadone prior to incarceration, and feeling that family or a loved one were concerned about the participant’s wellbeing were associated with linkage to HCV care. Reporting drinking alcohol to intoxication prior to incarceration was negatively associated with linkage to HCV care.

Conclusion: We demonstrate that an integrated strategy with combined TCC and patient navigation may be effective in achieving timely linkage to HCV care. Additional multicomponent interventions aimed at treatment of substance use disorders and increasing social support could lead to further improvement.
