Integrated Care Approaches Used for Transitions from Hospital to Community Care: A Scoping Review
Authors: Brown Cara L. , Menec Verena 
Published: April 2018

RÉSUMÉLes soins intégrés constituent une approche prometteuse pour améliorer les transitions entre les soins pour les personnes âgées, mais il n’existe pas de consensus concernant ce concept ou ses applications. Cet examen de la portée décrit l’ampleur et le contenu des publications sur les initiatives de soins intégrés visant les transitions entre les soins hospitaliers et les soins en milieu communautaire pour les aînés (âgés de 65 ans ou plus), et la conceptualisation des soins intégrés dans ces écrits. Une recherche systématique dans la littérature des 10 dernières années a permis d’identifier 899 documents qui ont été examinés par deux évaluateurs. Des 48 documents sélectionnés, 26 étaient des articles de revues scientifiques et 22 des articles de la littérature grise.Les analyses réalisées incluent des statistiques descriptives et une analyse de contenu qui résume les caractéristiques des initiatives de soins intégrés. Les résultats suggèrent que l’intégration de la prestation des soins et services est principalement visée par ces travaux, plutôt que l’intégration du financement, de l’administration ou de l’organisation des soins. Afin de permettre des comparaisons sur le plan international des initiatives de soins intégrés visant l’amélioration des transitions entre les soins, une description détaillée des contextes organisationnels serait aussi nécessaire.
Inverted-L microstrip open slot antenna with wideband circularly polarization for Wimax application
Authors: Lv Cheng-Zhong , Yang Lu-Chun 
Published: April 2018

AbstractA novel wideband circularly polarized printed antenna is proposed in this paper. It consists of asymmetrical ground and monofilar spiral stubs connecting to it. By employing an inverted L-shaped microstrip feedline to excite the slit etched in the ground and spiral stubs, a wideband culalry polarized performance of the proposed antenna is realized. After optimization, the measured results of the final structure demonstrate that a 10 dB bandwidth of 76.2% from 2.6 to 5.8 GHz and a 3 dB axial-ratio bandwidth for circular polarization of 72.9% from 2.7 to 5.8 GHz could be achieved which could completely cover the Wimax (3.3–3.8 GHz) band.
Convolutional neural networks for parking space detection in downfire urban radar
Authors: Martinez Javier , Zoeke Dominik , Vossiek Martin 
Published: April 2018

AbstractWe present a method for detecting parking spaces in radar images based on convolutional neural networks (CNN). A multiple-input multiple-output radar is used to render a slant-range image of the parking scenario and a background estimation technique is applied to reduce the impact of dynamic interference from the surroundings by separating the static background from moving objects in the scene. A CNN architecture, that also incorporates mechanisms to generalize the model to new scenarios, is proposed to determine the occupancy of the parking spaces in the static radar images. The experimental results show very high accuracy even in scenarios where little or no training data is available, proving the viability of the proposed approach for its implementation at large scale with reduced deployment efforts.

Published: April 2018

AbstractWe demonstrate a sub-terahertz (THz) and THz integration platform based on micromachined waveguides on silicon. The demonstrated components in the frequency range 225–325 GHz include waveguides, filters, waveguide vias, and low-loss transitions between the waveguide and the monolithic integrated circuits. The developed process relies on microelectromechanical systems manufacturing methods and silicon wafer substrates, promising a scalable and cost-efficient system integration method for future sub-THz and THz communication and sensing applications. Low-temperature Au/In thermo-compression and Au–Au laser bonding processes are parts of the integration platform enabling integration of millimeter-wave monolithic integrated circuits.
Portuguese Norms of Name Agreement, Concept Familiarity, Subjective Frequency and Visual Complexity for 150 Colored and Tridimensional Pictures
Authors: Soares Ana Paula , Pureza Rita , Comesaña Montserrat 
Published: April 2018

AbstractPictures are complex stimuli that require a careful control of several characteristics and attributes standardized for different languages. In this work we present for the first time European Portuguese (EP) norms for name agreement, concept familiarity, subjective frequency and visual complexity for a new set of 150 colored pictures. These pictures were selected to represent exemplars of the most used semantic categories in research and to depict objects which, though familiar to the participants, were rarely used in daily life, which makes them particularly prone to speech failures such as tip-of-the-tongue (TOT) states. Norms were collected from 640 EP native speakers that rated each picture in the four variables through a web-survey procedure. Results showed, as expected, that a large number of pictures in the dataset elicited a TOT response, and additionally that the ratings obtained in each of the dimensions are in line with those observed in other pictorial datasets.

Published: April 2018

Zusammenfassung. Theoretischer Hintergrund: Methodisch betrachtet stellt die psychotherapeutische Kompetenz ein wichtiges Qualitätsmerkmal zur Überprüfung der Validität in Psychotherapiestudien dar. Bisher lag kein Instrument zur Erfassung der Psychotherapeutenkompetenz in Gruppentherapien vor. Fragestellung: Eignet sich die hier vorgestellte Adaptation der deutschsprachigen Version der Cognitive Therapy Scale (CTS-D-G) zur Erfassung der psychotherapeutischen Kompetenz in kognitiv-verhaltenstherapeutischen Gruppen? Methodik: Das Ratingsystem wurde anhand von 32 exemplarischen Videoaufzeichnungen von 7 Therapeut_innen und 68 Patient_innen aus 16 Therapiegruppen von zwei Ratern evaluiert. Die Evaluierung erfolgte im Rahmen einer randomisierten, kontrollierten Studie mit depressiven Diabetespatient_innen. Ergebnisse: Es konnten eine sehr gute Interraterreliabilität (r = .82) und eine hohe interne Konsistenz (Cronbach’s α = .96) nachgewiesen werden. Schlussfolgerung: Die Studie liefert erste Hinweise, dass die CTS-D-G zur Erfassung der psychotherapeutischen Kompetenz in verhaltenstherapeutischen Gruppentherapie geeignet ist.

Published: April 2018

Zusammenfassung. Theoretischer Hintergrund: Soziale Kompetenztrainings sind wichtige Werkzeuge bei der Psychotherapie der Sozialen Angststörung. Die Durchführung in Virtueller Realität (VR) könnte die Verfügbarkeit und Effektivität erhöhen, allerdings besteht ein Bedarf an validierten VR-Szenarien. Fragestellung: Geprüft wird die Validität von zwei in Anlehnung an das Gruppentraining sozialer Kompetenzen von Hinsch und Pfingsten (2015) entwickelten VR-Szenarien. Es wird angenommen, dass die durch das Szenario ausgelösten Komponenten sozialer Angst auf subjektiver, psychophysiologischer und kognitiver Ebene signifikant zwischen höher (HSA) und niedriger (NSA) sozial ängstlichen Personen differenzieren. Methode: Insgesamt durchliefen N = 55 HSA und NSA Studierende zwei VR-Szenarien vom Typ „Recht durchsetzen“. Zusätzlich wurde experimentell die Blickkontaktdauer des virtuellen Gesprächspartners variiert. Hauptoutcome war die erlebte Angst in den Rollenspielen. Zusätzlich wurden Herzschlagfrequenz, Hautleitfähigkeit sowie die Einschätzung der eigenen Kompetenz erfasst. Ergebnisse: HSA im Vergleich zu NSA berichteten für beide Szenarien signifikant höhere Angst sowie negative Verzerrungen in Bezug auf die Einschätzung der eigenen Kompetenz. Zusätzlich zeigte sich eine physiologische Aktivierung während der Rollenspiele, aber keine Differenzierung zwischen beiden Gruppen. Beide VR-Szenarien wurden als realistisch empfunden. Schlussfolgerungen: Virtuelle Interaktionsszenarien können zu Trainingszwecken genutzt werden und Soziale Kompetenztrainings in VR haben ein großes Potential für den Einsatz als psychotherapeutisches Verfahren bei Sozialer Angststörung.

Published: April 2018

The location of the Southern Ocean Silicate Front (SF) is a key indicator of physical circulation, biological productivity, and biogeography, but its variability in space and time is currently not well understood due to a lack of time‐varying nutrient observations. This study provides a first estimate of the spatiotemporal variability of the SF, defined using the silicate‐to‐nitrate (Si:N) ratio as simulated by the Community Earth System Model (CESM) Large Ensemble (1920–2100), and its response to a changing Southern Ocean. The latitude where Si:N = 1 largely coincides with regions of high gradients in silicate and the observed position of the Antarctic Polar Front (PF) and serves as an indicator of waters with adequate nutrients available for diatom growth. On seasonal to interdecadal time scales, variability in the location of the SF is largely determined by biological nutrient utilization and Southern Ocean bathymetry, respectively. From 1920 to 2100, under historical and RCP8.5 forcing, the zonally averaged SF shifts poleward by ∼3° latitude, with no discernible shift in the position of the simulated location of the PF or the core of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current. A more poleward SF is primarily driven by long‐term reductions in silicate and nitrate concentrations at the surface as a consequence of greater iron availability and a warmer, more stratified Southern Ocean. These results suggest a decoupling of the SF and PF by the end of the century, with implications for local biogeography, global thermocline nutrient cycling, and the interpretation of paleoclimate records from deep sea sediments.

Published: April 2018

AbstractTo evaluate biogeochemical impacts of shelf‐scale submarine groundwater discharge (SGD), the northern South China Sea (NSCS) and the East China Sea (ECS) shelf were chosen for this study. Based on a three end‐member mixing model and a Ra box model, SGD fluxes on NSCS (west and east of the Pearl River Estuary, WPRE and EPRE, respectively) and ECS shelf in winter were estimated to be 3.8–9.5 × 109, 1.4–2.2 × 109 and 0.7–2.2 ×1010 m3 d−1, respectively. Our results were equivalent to the SGD flux to the entire Mediterranean Sea, and were an order of magnitude greater than fluxes to the South Atlantic Bight. SGD associated nutrient fluxes into WPRE, EPRE and ECS were almost in the same order of magnitude, 0.2–2.4 × 103 mol m−1 d−1 for dissolved inorganic nitrogen, 1.2–9.8 mol m−1 d−1 for soluble reactive phosphorus, and 0.4–3.4 × 103 mol m−1 d−1 for dissolved silicate. Moreover, SGD delivered 1.1–2.8 × 104, 0.6–0.9 × 104, 1.7–5.1 × 104 mol m−1 d−1 dissolved inorganic carbon and 1.1–2.7 × 104, 0.5–0.8 × 104, 1.6–4.8 × 104 mol m−1 d−1 total alkalinity to WPRE, EPRE and ECS, respectively. Shelf‐scale SGD is a significant source of nutrients and carbon, and may pose great impacts on regional marine ecosystems.
Cases Study of Nonlinear Interaction Between Near‐Inertial Waves Induced by Typhoon and Diurnal Tides Near the Xisha Islands

Published: April 2018

AbstractNonlinear interaction between near‐inertial waves (NIWs) and diurnal tides (DTs) after nine typhoons near the Xisha Islands of the northwestern South China Sea (SCS) were investigated using three‐year in situ mooring observation data. It was found that a harmonic wave (f + D1, hereafter referred to as fD1 wave), with a frequency equal to the sum of frequencies of NIWs and DTs (hereafter referred to as f and D1, respectively), was generated via nonlinear interaction between typhoon‐induced NIWs and DTs after each typhoon. The fD1 wave mainly concentrates in the subsurface layer, and is mainly induced by the first component of the vertical nonlinear momentum term, the product of the vertical velocity of DT and vertical shear of near‐inertial current (hereafter referred to as Component 1), in which the vertical shear of the near‐inertial current greatly affects the strength of the fD1 current. The larger the Component 1, the stronger the fD1 currents. The background preexisting mesoscale anticyclonic eddy near the mooring site may also enhance the vertical velocity of DT and thus Component 1, which subsequently facilitates the nonlinear interaction‐induced energy transfer to the fD1 wave and enhances the fD1 currents after the passage of a typhoon.
Variation of Residual Current in the Seto Inland Sea Driven by Sea Level Difference Between the Bungo and Kii Channels

Published: April 2018

AbstractUnderstanding residual (i.e., total minus tidal) currents in coastal seas is important because the residual currents affect long‐term material transports. In the Seto Inland Sea, Japan (SIS), a Bungo Channel to Kii Channel sea level difference causes a horizontal pressure gradient in the SIS and thus affects the residual current in the SIS. This study applies a linear regression method to examine how the residual current responds to the Bungo‐Kii sea level difference. The residual current is obtained using the reciprocal acoustic transmission data collected in the eastern portion of the Aki‐Nada sea area in 2012. The residual currents are estimated in the following three periods: from 12 April to 9 June, from 15 June to 21 July, and from 20 September to 27 October. In the regression analysis, an additional term is included to account for the fortnightly variation of the tide‐induced residual current. More than 75% of the observed residual currents can be explained by the sea level difference and the fortnightly variation. For the three periods, the variations of the residual current along the acoustic transmission line are, respectively, 0.20 ± 0.01, 0.22 ± 0.01, and 0.30 ± 0.01 cm s−1 per 1 cm of the Bungo‐Kii sea level difference. The corresponding variations in the volume transport are 920 ± 149,
, and
m3 s−1 per 1 cm sea level difference. Comparing with the wind‐induced volume transport, we find that the sea level difference can cause a comparable volume transport variation.
Characterizing Drainage Multiphase Flow in Heterogeneous Sandstones

Published: April 2018

AbstractIn this work, we analyze the characterization of drainage multiphase flow properties on heterogeneous rock cores using a rich experimental data set and mm‐m scale numerical simulations. Along with routine multiphase flow properties, 3‐D submeter scale capillary pressure heterogeneity is characterized by combining experimental observations and numerical calibration, resulting in a 3‐D numerical model of the rock core. The uniqueness and predictive capability of the numerical models are evaluated by accurately predicting the experimentally measured relative permeability of N2—DI water and CO2—brine systems in two distinct sandstone rock cores across multiple fractional flow regimes and total flow rates. The numerical models are used to derive equivalent relative permeabilities, which are upscaled functions incorporating the effects of submeter scale capillary pressure. The functions are obtained across capillary numbers which span four orders of magnitude, representative of the range of flow regimes that occur in subsurface CO2 injection. Removal of experimental boundary artifacts allows the derivation of equivalent functions which are characteristic of the continuous subsurface. We also demonstrate how heterogeneities can be reorientated and restructured to efficiently estimate flow properties in rock orientations differing from the original core sample. This analysis shows how combined experimental and numerical characterization of rock samples can be used to derive equivalent flow properties from heterogeneous rocks.

Published: April 2018

AbstractMarine atmospheric boundary layer (MABL) roll plays an important role in the turbulent exchange of momentum, sensible heat, and moisture throughout MABL of tropical cyclone (TC). Hence, rolls are believed to be closely related to TC's development, intensification, and decay processes. Spaceborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) provides a unique capability to image the sea surface imprints of quasi‐linear streaks induced by the MABL rolls within a TC. In this study, sixteen SAR images, including three images acquired during three major hurricanes: Irma, Jose, and Maria in the 2017 Atlantic hurricane season, were utilized to systematically map the distribution and wavelength of MABL rolls under the wide range of TC intensities. The images were acquired by SAR onboard RADARSAT‐1/2, ENVISAT, and SENTINEL‐1 satellites. Our findings are in agreement with the previous one case study of Hurricane Katrina (2005), showing the roll wavelengths are between 600 and 1,600 m. We also find that there exist roll imprints in eyewall and rainbands, although the boundary layer heights are shallower there. Besides, the spatial distribution of roll wavelengths is asymmetrical. The roll wavelengths are found to be the shortest around the storm center, increase and then decrease with distance from storm center, reaching the peak values in the range of
, where
is defined as the physical location to TC centers normalized by the radius of maximum wind. These MABL roll characteristics cannot be derived using conventional aircraft and land‐based Doppler radar observations.
Human mandibular shape is associated with masticatory muscle force

Published: April 2018

AbstractUnderstanding how and to what extent forces applied to the mandible by the masticatory muscles influence its form, is of considerable importance from clinical, anthropological and evolutionary perspectives. This study investigates these questions. Head CT scans of 382 adults were utilized to measure masseter and temporalis muscle cross-sectional areas (CSA) as a surrogate for muscle force, and 17 mandibular anthropometric measurements. Sixty-two mandibles of young individuals (20–40 years) whose scans were without artefacts (e.g., due to tooth filling) were segmented and landmarked for geometric morphometric analysis. The association between shape and muscle CSA (controlled for size) was assessed using two-block partial least squares analysis. Correlations were computed between mandibular variables and muscle CSAs (all controlled for size). A significant association was found between mandibular shape and muscle CSAs, i.e. larger CSAs are associated with a wider more trapezoidal ramus, more massive coronoid, more rectangular body and a more curved basal arch. Linear measurements yielded low correlations with muscle CSAs. In conclusion, this study demonstrates an association between mandibular muscle force and mandibular shape, which is not as readily identified from linear measurements. Retrodiction of masticatory muscle force and so of mandibular loading is therefore best based on overall mandibular shape.
Identification of human glycosyltransferase genes expressed in erythroid cells predicts potential carbohydrate blood group loci

Published: April 2018

AbstractGlycans are biologically important structures synthesised by glycosyltransferase (GT) enzymes. Disruptive genetic null variants in GT genes can lead to serious illness but benign phenotypes are also seen, including antigenic differences on the red blood cell (RBC) surface, giving rise to blood groups. To characterise known and potential carbohydrate blood group antigens without a known underlying gene, we searched public databases for human GT loci and investigated their variation in the 1000 Genomes Project (1000 G). We found 244 GT genes, distributed over 44 families. All but four GT genes had missense variants or other variants predicted to alter the amino acid sequence, and 149 GT genes (61%) had variants expected to cause null alleles, often associated with antigen-negative blood group phenotypes. In RNA-Seq data generated from erythroid cells, 155 GT genes were expressed at a transcript level comparable to, or higher than, known carbohydrate blood group loci. Filtering for GT genes predicted to cause a benign phenotype, a set of 30 genes remained, 16 of which had variants in 1000 G expected to result in null alleles. Our results identify potential blood group loci and could serve as a basis for characterisation of the genetic background underlying carbohydrate RBC antigens.
Different methods of methyl eugenol application enhance the mating success of male Oriental fruit fly (Dipera: Tephritidae)

Published: April 2018

AbstractMales of Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) (Diptera: Tephritidae) are strongly attracted to methyl eugenol (ME) (1,2-dimethoxy-4-(2-propenyl)benzene), a phenylpropanoid compound occurring in many plant species. Feeding on ME is known to enhance male B. dorsalis mating competitiveness, which can increase the effectiveness of the sterile insect technique (SIT) manifold. However, currently used systems for holding the mass-reared males in fly emergence and release facilities before release, do not allow for application of ME through feeding. Therefore, the current study was designed to evaluate different delivery systems of ME that would be applicable for large-scale application to sterile males held in such facilities. Males of a genetic sexing strain (GSS) of B. dorsalis treated by ME-aromatherapy or ME-airblown-aromatherapy that were competing with ME-fed males achieved a similar level of mating success in walk-in field cages, but the mating success was significantly higher when compared to untreated males. The results confirm the feasibility of developing ME-airblown-aromatherapy as a practical way of large scale ME delivery to enhance the mating competitiveness of sterile B. dorsalis males.
