Published: April 2017

AbstractThe disparity between ideal evidence from randomized controlled trials and real‐world evidence in medical research has prompted the United States Food and Drug Administration to consider the use of real‐world data to better understand safety and effectiveness of new devices for a broader patient population and to prioritize real‐world data in regulatory decision making. As the healthcare system transitions from volume‐ to value‐based care, there is a growing need to harness the power of real‐world data to change the paradigm for wound care clinical research and enable more generalizable clinical trials. This paper describes the implementation of a network‐based learning healthcare system by a for‐profit consortium of wound care clinics that integrates wound care management, quality improvement, and comparative effectiveness research, by harnessing structured real‐world data within a purpose‐built electronic health record at the point of care. Centers participating in the consortium submit their clinical data and quality measures to a qualified clinical data registry for wound care, enabling benchmarking of their data across this national network. The common definitional framework of the purpose‐built electronic health record and the 21 wound‐specific quality measures help to standardize the potential sources of bias in real‐world data, making the consortium data useful for comparative effectiveness research. This consortium can transform wound care clinical research and raise the standards of care, while helping physicians achieve success with the Merit‐Based Incentive Payment System.

Effect of landslides on the structural characteristics of land-cover based on complex networks
Authors: He Jing , Tang Chuan , Liu Gang , Li Weile 
Published: April 2017

Landslides have been widely studied by geologists. However, previous studies mainly focused on the formation of landslides and never considered the effect of landslides on the structural characteristics of land-cover. Here we define the modeling of the graph topology for the land-cover, using the satellite images of the earth’s surface before and after the earthquake. We find that the land-cover network satisfies the power-law distribution, whether the land-cover contains landslides or not. However, landslides may change some parameters or measures of the structural characteristics of land-cover. The results show that the linear coefficient, modularity and area distribution are all changed after the occurence of landslides, which means the structural characteristics of the land-cover are changed.
Linear combinations of the telegraph random processes driven by partial differential equations
Authors: Kolesnik Alexander D. 
Published: April 2017

Consider [Formula: see text] independent Goldstein–Kac telegraph processes [Formula: see text] on the real line [Formula: see text]. Each process [Formula: see text] describes a stochastic motion at constant finite speed [Formula: see text] of a particle that, at the initial time instant [Formula: see text], starts from some initial point [Formula: see text] and whose evolution is controlled by a homogeneous Poisson process [Formula: see text] of rate [Formula: see text]. The governing Poisson processes [Formula: see text] are supposed to be independent as well. Consider the linear combination of the processes [Formula: see text] defined by [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text] are arbitrary real nonzero constant coefficients. We obtain a hyperbolic system of [Formula: see text] first-order partial differential equations for the joint probability densities of the process [Formula: see text] and of the directions of motions at arbitrary time [Formula: see text]. From this system we derive a partial differential equation of order [Formula: see text] for the transition density of [Formula: see text] in the form of a determinant of a block matrix whose elements are the differential operators with constant coefficients. Initial-value problems for the transition densities of the sum and difference [Formula: see text] of two independent telegraph processes with arbitrary parameters, are also posed.
The Emergence of Innovative Entrepreneurship: Beyond the Intention — Investigating the Participants in an Academic SUC
Authors: Passaro Renato , Scandurra Giuseppe , Thomas Antonio 
Published: April 2017

To stem the increasing competitiveness of many newcomer countries, managerial and business literature underlines the necessity to favor entrepreneurship in high tech and innovative sectors. From this perspective, an increasingly important role in the generation of innovative entrepreneurship is carried out by the universities, which are natural incubators of borderline and cutting-edge technologies. With this in mind, the present study explores the entrepreneurial intention among a population of academics participating at a start-up competition (SUC) that view entrepreneurship as an opportunity-driven choice to give value to their researches. Two variables affecting the entrepreneurial intention among these participants are specifically examined: the perception of external environment and the perception of subjective competencies. To test the intention, the paper refers to the widespread Theory of Planned Behaviour, currently recognised as one of the most influential theoretical model. The results of the present research show that the considered variables have a strong effect on intent through entrepreneurial attitudes and personal behaviour control. Consistently with other leading articles, the findings confirm the importance of the external environment and knowledge in favouring or discouraging the entrepreneurial choice even among academics participating at the SUC.
How do Knowledge and Innovation Work within Organizations: The Situationist View of the Firm (SVF)
Authors: Calabrese Giuseppe , Mastroberardino Piero 
Published: April 2017

This paper proposes a different idea of knowledge management (KM) and an alternative path to understand innovation processes within the organizations. We compared two paradigms of the firm. On one hand, the Unified Approach, widely dominant in management studies, reifies the firm and interprets it as a collective entity, a pre-determined system with respect to the actors. On the other hand, the Situationist View defines the firm as a concrete system built by the actors and qualifies it as a space of games, interactions, negotiations and conflicts among actors and their coalitions. Our purpose is to contribute to enrich the scientific debate on innovation management through different concepts — power, coalitional dynamics and institutional pressures — until now in shadow, if not absent at all.
Conversões da dívida entre os Yawanawá: um modelo de análise dos fundamentos culturais, sociais e políticos da troca
Authors: Vereta-Nahoum André 
Published: April 2017

Este texto procura demonstrar que a noção de conversões da dívida é útil para revelar os enredamentos do dinheiro, das mercadorias e das transações mercantis em uma teia de obrigações políticas, culturais e sociais. Para tanto, mobiliza material coletado durante trabalho de campo para analisar dois pares de conversão da dívida em que circulam bens e dinheiro entre os Yawanawá, uma população nativa do sudoeste amazônico. Nessas conversões, dívidas oriundas de relações políticas, assim como serviços relacionados com rituais e curas, geram prestações sob a forma de dinheiro, bens e serviços. Analisando as conversões da dívida entre os Yawanawá, o texto demonstra que dinheiro e bens são domesticados, colocados a serviço de obrigações políticas, culturais e sociais e não corroem princípios da sociabilidade ou da reprodução cultural, ainda quehaja um constante esforço para manter a orientação dessas transações em objetivos comunitários.
A MODIS-Derived Value-Added Climatology of Maritime Cloud Liquid Water Path That Conserves Solar Reflectance
Authors: Gumber Amanda , Foster Michael J. 
Published: April 2017

AbstractA dataset is generated from a method to retrieve distributions of cloud liquid water path over partially cloudy scenes. The method was introduced in a 2011 paper by Foster and coauthors that described the theory and provided test cases. Here it has been applied to Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) collection-5 and collection-6 cloud products, resulting in a value-added dataset that contains adjusted distributions of cloud liquid water path for more than 10 years for marine liquid cloud for both Aqua and Terra. This method adjusts horizontal distributions of cloud optical properties to be more consistent with observed visible reflectance and is especially useful in areas where cloud optical retrievals fail or are considered to be of low quality. Potential uses of this dataset include validation of climate and radiative transfer models and facilitation of studies that intercompare satellite records. Results show that the fit method is able to reduce bias between observed visible reflectance and that derived from optical retrievals by up to an average improvement of 3%. The level of improvement is dependent on several factors, including seasonality, viewing geometry, cloud fraction, and cloud heterogeneity. Applications of this dataset are explored through a satellite intercomparison with PATMOS-x and Global Change Observation Mission–First Water (GCOM-W1; “SHIZUKU”) AMSR-2 and use of a Monte Carlo radiative transfer model. From the 3D Monte Carlo model simulations, albedo biases are found when the method is applied, with seasonal averages that range over 0.02–0.06.
Effect of Soil Moisture on Diurnal Convection and Precipitation in Large-Eddy Simulations
Authors: Cioni Guido , Hohenegger Cathy 
Published: April 2017

Abstract
A determination of the sign and magnitude of the soil moisture–precipitation feedback relies either on observations, where synoptic variability is difficult to isolate, or on model simulations, which suffer from biases mainly related to poorly resolved convection. In this study, a large-eddy simulation model with a resolution of 250 m is coupled to a land surface model and several idealized experiments mimicking the full diurnal cycle of convection are performed, starting from different spatially homogeneous soil moisture conditions. The goal is to determine under which conditions drier soils may produce more precipitation than wetter ones. The methodology of previous conceptual studies that have quantified the likelihood of convection to be triggered over wet or dry soils is followed but includes the production of precipitation. Although convection can be triggered earlier over dry soils than over wet soils under certain atmospheric conditions, total precipitation is found to always decrease over dry soils. By splitting the total precipitation into its magnitude and duration component, it is found that the magnitude strongly correlates with surface latent heat flux, hence implying a wet soil advantage. Because of this strong scaling, changes in precipitation duration caused by differences in convection triggering are not able to overcompensate for the lack of evaporation over dry soils. These results are further validated using two additional atmospheric soundings and a series of perturbed experiments that consider cloud radiative effects, as well as the effect of large-scale forcing, winds, and plants on the soil moisture–precipitation coupling.
Influence of Stokes Drift Decay Scale on Langmuir Turbulence
Authors: Kukulka Tobias , Harcourt Ramsey R. 
Published: April 2017

AbstractAccurately scaling Langmuir turbulence (LT) in the ocean surface boundary layer (OSBL) is critical for improving ocean, weather, and climate models. The physical processes by which the structure of LT depends on surface waves’ Stokes drift decay length scale are examined. An idealized model for OSBL turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) provides a conceptual framework with three physical processes: TKE transport, dissipation, and production by the Craik–Leibovich (CL) vortex force (VF) associated with the Stokes drift shear. TKE profiles depend on OSBL depth h, surface roughness length z0, and wavenumber k through the nondimensional parameters kh and kz0. These parameters determine the rate and length scale for the dissipation of TKE produced by the CL-VF. For kz0 ≫ 1, TKE input by the CL-VF is governed by a surface flux with TKE rapidly decaying with depth. Only for kz0 < 1 can TKE penetrate deeper into the OSBL, with the TKE penetration depth controlled by kh. Turbulence-resolving large-eddy simulation results support this conceptual framework and indicate that the dominant Langmuir cell size scales with (kh)−1. Within the depth of dominant Langmuir cells, TKE dissipation is approximately balanced by CL-VF production. Shorter waves contribute less to deeper vertical velocity variance 〈w2〉 because the CL-VF is less effective in generating larger-scale LT. Depth-averaged 〈w2〉 scales with a modified Langmuir number Laϕ = (u*/usϕ)1/2, where u* denotes the water-side surface friction velocity and usϕ is a depth-integrated weighted Stokes drift shear or, equivalently, a spectrally filtered surface Stokes drift.
Observations of Infrared Sea Surface Temperature and Air–Sea Interaction in Hurricane Edouard (2014) Using GPS Dropsondes

Published: April 2017

AbstractThis study highlights infrared sensor technology incorporated into the global positioning system (GPS) dropsonde platforms to obtain sea surface temperature (SST) measurements. This modified sonde (IRsonde) is used to improve understanding of air–sea interaction in tropical cyclones (TCs). As part of the Sandy Supplemental Program, IRsondes were constructed and then deployed during the 2014 hurricane season. Comparisons between SSTs measured by collocated IRsondes and ocean expendables show good agreement, especially in regions with no rain contamination. Surface fluxes were estimated using measurements from the IRsondes and AXBTs via a bulk method that requires measurements of SST and near-surface (10 m) wind speed, temperature, and humidity. The evolution of surface fluxes and their role in the intensification and weakening of Hurricane Edouard (2014) are discussed in the context of boundary layer recovery. The study’s result emphasizes the important role of surface flux–induced boundary layer recovery in regulating the low-level thermodynamic structure that is tied to the asymmetry of convection and TC intensity change.

Published: April 2017

Background: Perfusion of the optic nerve has been widely studied using fluorescein angiography (FAG), which is currently regarded as the criterion standard. However, FAG has adverse effects associated with intravenous contrast administration and is limited in its capacity to characterize and stratify the different vascular layers of the optic nerve and retina. The use of new imaging techniques, such as optical coherence tomographic angiography (Angio-OCT), is therefore important. Aim: A qualitative description is made of the vascular layers of the optic nerve and of how vascular events affect radial peripapillary capillaries (RPC). Two patients with central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO), 1 with arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AAION), and 3 healthy subjects were studied. Results: The Angio-OCT imaging afforded better visualization of the depth of the RPC and rest of the vascular layers of the retina compared with FAG. Optic nerve surface perfusion was affected in AAION and proved normal in CRAO. Conclusions: Our results indicate that perfusion of the papilla and RPC mainly arises from the papillary plexus that depends on the posterior ciliary artery.

Background Neurite orientation dispersion and density imaging (NODDI) is a diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique with the potential to visualize the microstructure of the brain. Revolutionary histological methods to render the mouse brain transparent have recently been developed, but verification of NODDI by these methods has not been reported. Purpose To confirm the concordance of NODDI with histology in terms of density and orientation dispersion of neurites of the brain. Material and Methods Whole brain diffusion MRI of a thy-1 yellow fluorescent protein mouse was acquired with a 7-T MRI scanner, after which transparent brain sections were created from the same mouse. NODDI parameters calculated from the MR images, including the intracellular volume fraction (Vic) and the orientation dispersion index (ODI), were compared with histological findings. Neurite density, Vic, and ODI were compared between areas of the anterior commissure and the hippocampus containing crossing fibers (crossing areas) and parallel fibers (parallel areas), and the correlation between fiber density and Vic was assessed. Results The ODI was significantly higher in the crossing area compared to the parallel area in both the anterior commissure and the hippocampus ( P = 0.0247, P = 0.00022, respectively). Neurite density showed a similar tendency, but was significantly different only in the hippocampus ( P = 7.91E−07). There was no significant correlation between neurite density and Vic. Conclusion NODDI was verified by histology for quantification of the orientation dispersion of neurites. These results indicate that the ODI is a suitable index for understanding the microstructure of the brain in vivo.
Parametric optimization of powder mixed electrical discharge machining for nickel-based superalloy inconel-800 using response surface methodology

Published: April 2017

Abstract
Background
Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) is a well-established non-conventional machining process for the machining of electrically conductive and difficult-to-machine materials. But its applications are limited because of the slow machining rate and poor surface finish. Powder mixed EDM (PMEDM) is unitary of the recent progresses in the EDM process in which powder particles mixed in the dielectric fluid results in higher machining rate and better surface quality. In the past, limited work has been found on PMEDM of Inconel-800 material. Researchers have reported about machining with different powder particles like aluminum powder, silicon carbide, graphite etc. in the dielectric fluid of EDM, but the effect of powder particles, i.e. Tungsten carbide, cobalt and boron carbide along with tool material i.e. copper, copper-chromium and graphite on Inconel-800 material has not been explored. The purpose of the present work is to look into the issue of tool material (Cu, copper-chromium, and graphite) along with powder particles (tungsten carbide, cobalt and boron carbide) suspended in EDM oil on Inconel-800 material.

Methods
The present work includes optimization of Material Removal Rate (MRR) and Tool Wear Rate (TWR) for the machining of Inconel-800 material using Powder Mixed Elctric Discharge Machining (PMEDM). Different input parameters such as peak current, pulse on-time, pulse off-time, tool and powder materials along with effect of three micro powder particles, i.e. tungsten carbide, cobalt and boron carbide and three electrodes i.e. copper, copper-chromium, and graphite have been considered for the experimentation. The box-Behnken method of Response Surface Methodology (RSM) has been used for designing the experiments along with the Desirability Approach for multiple response parameters optimization. The adequacy of the proposed mathematical models have also been tested using analysis of variance (ANOVA). Microstructure analysis and transfer of different factors on the machined surface has also been investigated using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Energy Dispersive Spectrometer (EDS) and X - Ray Diffraction (XRD).

Results
The results showed that peak current, pulse on-time, and tool material significantly affects the Material Removal Rate (MRR) while peak current, pulse on-time, tool material and powder materials affected the Tool Wear Rate (TWR). Pulse off-time has a trifling effect on both MRR and TWR, while powder particles on MRR. From desirability approach, the optimal combination of parameters found to be current 1 amp, pulse on-time 0.98 μs, pulse off-time 0.03 μs, tool material 0.31 and the powder (suspended particles) 0.64.

Conclusion
The analysis of the experimental observations highlights that the current, pulse on-time and tool material have found to be the most decisive factors for MRR, while current, pulse on-time, tool material and powder particles for TWR.
