Authors: Vandyk Amanda , Chartrand Julie , Beké Émilie , Burlock Laura , Baker Cynthia 
Published: August 2017

AbstractThere is a world-wide shortage of nursing faculty, which is complicated by the need for French, English, and bilingual professors in Canada. The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the current status and effects of the nursing faculty shortage on Canadian Schools of Nursing (SON) from a leadership perspective. We conducted semi-structured interviews with 12 Deans and Directors of Canadian Schools of Nursing. The participants spoke about the faculty shortage in terms of demand, supply, and strategies employed. The participants were concerned about the ramifications of some of the decisions deemed necessary for continued viability of their programs, such as over-assigning teaching workloads. In light of mass upcoming retirements, shortening the time to completion for PhD studies and making graduate education more accessible are important priorities.
Nursing Students’ and Faculty Members’ Experiences of Comfort during Transition to Context-Based Learning
Authors: Puplampu Vivian 
Published: August 2017

AbstractThere is evidence supporting student-centered learning (SCL) as an effective pedagogy to prepare professionals to work in the evolving health care system of the twenty-first century. SCL has many benefits, among them that it helps students to learn to work in teams and develop problem-solving, critical thinking and communication skills. The focus on the student means that the teacher’s power is decreased. This, along with openness of the approach, can make the transition to SCL a challenge. This study used an exploratory descriptive qualitative design to explore how comfortable nursing students and faculty members were in a context-based learning (CBL) program, a version of SCL. Nursing students and faculty discussed common challenges of trusting the CBL process. They also discussed the emphasis on self-directed learning and how it could mean that tutors are not as involved with students. To enhance a smooth transition, recommendations have been made, including clarifying the CBL philosophy at orientation, and mentoring and reassuring students.
Performance Analysis for Analog Network Coding with Imperfect CSI in FDD Two Way Channels
Authors: Peng Xidan , Li Xiangyang 
Published: August 2017

AbstractA time-division duplex (TDD) two-way channel exploits reciprocity to estimate the forward channel gain from the reverse link. Many previous works explore outage probabilities in the TDD system, based on the reciprocity property. However, a frequency-division duplex (FDD) system has no reciprocity property. In this letter, we investigate the impact of CSI estimation error on the performance of non-orthogonal and orthogonal analog network coding protocols in an FDD two-way system, where channel gains are independent of each other. Considering imperfect CSI, the closed-form expressions of outage probabilities by two protocols are derived in the high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regime, respectively. It is shown that the derived outage probabilities match results of Monte Carlo simulations in different communication scenarios. It is interesting that ANC in the FDD two-way channel is proved to outperform that in the TDD channel by the computer simulation.
Analysis of an M/G/1 Stochastic Clearing Queue in a 3-Phase Environment

Published: August 2017

AbstractThis paper studies a single server M/G/1 stochastic clearing queue operating in a 3-phase environment, where the time length of the first and third phase are assumed to follow exponential distributions, and the time length of the second phase is a constant value. At the completion of phase 1, the system moves to phase 2, and after a fixed time length, the system turns to phase 3. At the end of phase 3, all present customers in the system are forced to leave the system, then the system moves to phase 1 and restarts a new service cycle. Using the supplementary variable technique, we obtain the distribution for the stationary queue at an arbitrary epoch. We also derive the sojourn time distribution and the length of the server’s working time in a cycle.

Effects of graphene surface energy on the structure and mechanical properties of phenolic foams
Authors: Luo Xia , Yu Kejing , Qian Kun , Lu Xuefeng , Sun Jie 
Published: August 2017

Abstract
Graphene nanoplates (GNPs) and graphene oxide (GO) were used to investigate the effects of surface free energy (SFE) of nanoparticles on the cellular structure and mechanical properties of phenolic nanocomposite foams. The results showed that the SFE of nanoparticles is a key parameter in determining the interfacial action between fillers and matrix before foaming, which in turn determines the energy barrier of bubble nucleation during foaming process. It indicated that the higher interfacial energy of GO brought out the lower Gibbs free energy and smaller driving force for heterogeneous nucleation, leading to smaller cell size with more uniform distribution. According to the effect of SFE in foaming process, different mass fractions of GNPs and GO were used in phenolic foams to investigate the effects of heterogeneous nucleating agent on cell nucleation. As a result, phenolic foam with 0.6 wt% graphene oxide (GO-0.6/PF) exhibited the optimized mechanical properties and cell microstructure.

Published: August 2017

BACKGROUND:
Associations between sleep duration and type 2 diabetes (T2D) risk markers in childhood have been little studied. We examined associations between self-reported sleep duration and T2D risk markers in children.

METHODS:
Cross-sectional study of 4525 multiethnic UK children aged 9 to 10 years. Sleep time was calculated from self-reported usual time of going to bed and getting up on a school day, validated in a subset using accelerometers. Fasting blood samples provided levels of serum lipids and insulin, plasma glucose, and HbA1c. Physical measures included height, weight, bioimpedance, and blood pressure. Multilevel linear regression models of anthropometric, T2D, and cardiovascular risk markers with sleep duration were adjusted for sex, age, month, ethnicity, socioeconomic position, observer (physical measures only), and random effect of school.

RESULTS:
On average, children slept 10.5 hours per night (95% range 8.0–12.0 hours). There were strong inverse graded relationships between sleep duration, adiposity, and diabetes risk markers. In adjusted models, a 1-hour-longer sleep duration was associated with 0.19 lower BMI (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.09 to 0.28), 0.03 kg/m5 lower fat mass index (95% CI 0.00 to 0.05 kg/m5), 2.9% lower homeostasis model assessment insulin resistance (95% CI 1.2% to 4.4%), and 0.24% lower fasting glucose (95% CI 0.03% to 0.44%); there was no association with HbA1c or cardiovascular risk. Associations with insulin and glucose remained after an additional adjustment for adiposity markers.

CONCLUSIONS:
The finding of an inverse association between sleep duration and T2D risk markers in childhood is novel. Intervention studies are needed to establish the causality of these associations, which could provide a simple strategy for early T2D prevention.

Published: August 2017

Let $Z$ be a non-compact two-dimensional manifold obtained from a family of open strips $\mathbb{R}\times(0,1)$ with boundary intervals by gluing those strips along their boundary intervals.Every such strip has a foliation into parallel lines $\mathbb{R}\times t$, $t\in(0,1)$, and boundary intervals, whence we get a foliation $\Delta$ on all of $Z$.Many types of foliations on surfaces with leaves homeomorphic to the real line have such ``striped'' structure.That fact was discovered by W.~Kaplan (1940-41) for foliations on the plane $\mathbb{R}^2$ by level-set of pseudo-harmonic functions $\mathbb{R}^2 \to \mathbb{R}$ without singularities. Previously, the first two authors studied the homotopy type of the group $\mathcal{H}(\Delta)$ of homeomorphisms of $Z$ sending leaves of $\Delta$ onto leaves, and shown that except for two cases the identity path component $\mathcal{H}_{0}(\Delta)$ of $\mathcal{H}(\Delta)$ is contractible.The aim of the present paper is to show that the quotient $\mathcal{H}(\Delta)/ \mathcal{H}_{0}(\Delta)$ can be identified with the group of automorphisms of a certain graph with additional structure encoding the ``combinatorics'' of gluing.

CLINICAL, ENDOSCOPIC AND ESOPHAGEAL PH-IMPEDENCE STUDY IN PATIENTS WITH HEARTBURN REFERRED TO KURDISTAN CENTER FOR GASTROENTEROLOGY AND HEPATOLOGY
Authors: Mohammed Mohammed , Hama Hewa 
Published: August 2017

Background
Heartburn is characterized by a discomfort or burning sensation behind the sternum that arises from the epigastrium and may radiate toward the neck. A subset of patients with heartburn are Non-erosive reflux disease (NERD) is characterized by reflux symptoms in the absence of esophageal mucosal breaks, with objective evidence of pathological levels of gastroesophageal reflux on pH or pH-impedance monitoring.
Objectives
To evaluate patients with heartburn clinically, endoscopically and by combined pH-impedance study.
Methodology
This is a cross-sectional descriptive study, a total of 60 cases of heartburn, referred to Kurdistan center for Gastroenterology and Hepatology in Sulaimani from February 2015 to December 2015 were enrolled. Cases interviewed and a questionnaire filled; body mass index measured. OGD and pH-impedance study were done for all participants.
Results
Out of 60 cases of heartburn, erosive esophagitis (EE) found in 21.7% of cases and 78.7% had normal OGD. Regurgitation found in almost all cases of EE (100%) which was statistically significant (p=0.02). Patients with hiatus hernia HH are at greater risk for EE than non-erosive cases (p=0.01). By OGD and pH-study more than half of our cases (51.6%) were proved to have gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). There was significant different (p <0.001) between those with erosive and non-erosive esophagitis in relation to number of reflux episodes and intensity of acid exposure.
Conclusion
Only 21.3% of heartburn cases had EE. Having HH is a risk factor for EE. Almost half of cases with EE had abnormal pH-study; this means ODG has low sensitivity in the diagnosis of GERD with greater specificity. Adding combined pH-impedance test to OGD in the evaluation of heartburn increase the diagnostic utility of GERD.
