description: Cognitive Radio Networks are being researched upon heavily in the various layers of the communication structure. The task of bringing software in the physical layer of communication system led to the concept of a smart radio being able to learn, adapt and make intelligent decisions in an autonomous manner by use of a Software Defined Radio. This work provides novel concepts in the areas of spectrum sensing, learning of ongoing transmissions through Reinforcment learning, use of a game theoretic concept such as Zero-sum game for resilience of authorized users in cases of jamming, and decision making of user transmissions through Markov Decision processes. This is highly applicable in dynamic radio environments such as emergency communications required during natural disasters, large scale events and in mobile wireless communications. Such applications come under the "Internet of Things".

On replacement body parts
Creators: name: Walker, Mary
Publisher: name: La Trobe
Year: 2022

description: Technological advances are making devices that functionally replace body parts—artificial organs and limbs—more widely used, and more capable of providing patients with lives that are close to “normal.” Some of the ethical issues this is likely to raise relate to how such prostheses are conceptualized. Prostheses are ambiguous between being inanimate objects and sharing in the status of human bodies—which already have an ambiguous status, as both objects and subjects. At the same time, the possibility of replacing body parts with artificial objects puts pressure on the normative status typically accorded to human bodies, seemingly confirming that body parts are replaceable objects. The paper argues that bodies’ normative status relies on the relation of a body to a person and shows that persons could have similar relations to prostheses. This suggests that in approaching ethical issues surrounding prostheses, it is appropriate to regard them as more like body parts than like objects.
title: A Second Turbulent Regime When a Fully Developed Axial Turbulent Flow Enters a Rotating Pipe
Creators: name: Cloos, Ferdinand-J.

Publisher: name: ASME
Year: 2022

description: When a fluid enters a rotating circular pipe a swirl boundary layer with thickness of δ̃s appears at the wall and interacts with the axial momentum boundary layer with thickness of δ̃. We investigate a turbulent flow applying Laser-Doppler-Anemometry to measure the circumferential velocity profile at the inlet of the rotating pipe. The measured swirl boundary layer thickness follows a power law taking Reynolds number and flow number into account. A combination of high Reynolds number, high flow number and axial position causes a transition of the swirl boundary layer development in the turbulent regime. At this combination, the swirl boundary layer thickness as well as the turbulence intensity increase and the latter yields a self-similarity. The circumferential velocity profile changes to a new presented self-similarity as well. We define the transition inlet length, where the transition appears and a stability map for the two regimes is given for the case of a fully developed axial turbulent flow enters the rotating pipe.

Questionable research practices (QRPs) are intentional and unintentional practices that can occur when designing, conducting, analysing, and reporting research, producing biased study results. Sport and exercise medicine (SEM) research is vulnerable to the same QRPs that pervade the biomedical and psychological sciences, producing false-positive results and inflated effect sizes. Approximately 90% of biomedical research reports supported study hypotheses, provoking suspicion about the field-wide presence of systematic biases to facilitate study findings that confirm researchers' expectations. In this education review, we introduce three common QRPs (ie, HARKing, P-hacking and Cherry-picking), perform a cross-sectional study to assess the proportion of original SEM research that reports supported study hypotheses, and draw attention to existing solutions and resources to overcome QRPs that manifest in exploratory research. We hypothesised that ≥85% of original SEM research studies would report supported study hypotheses. Two independent assessors systematically identified, screened, included, and extracted study data from original research articles published between 1 January 2019 and 31 May 2019 in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, Sports Medicine, the American Journal of Sports Medicine, and the Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy. We extracted data relating to whether studies reported that the primary hypothesis was supported or rejected by the results. Study hypotheses, methodologies, and analysis plans were preregistered at the Open Science Framework. One hundred and twenty-nine original research studies reported at least one study hypothesis, of which 106 (82.2%) reported hypotheses that were supported by study results. Of 106 studies reporting that primary hypotheses were supported by study results, 75 (70.8%) studies reported that the primary hypothesis was fully supported by study results. The primary study hypothesis was partially supported by study results in 28 (26.4%) studies. We detail open science practices and resources that aim to safe-guard against QRPs that bely the credibility and replicability of original research findings.

description: © 2020 The Author(s). Background: In response to China's rapidly aging population and increasing healthcare service demands, the Chinese government is developing a universal medical insurance system. This study aimed to assess healthcare utilization patterns and analyze the impacts of medical insurance schemes on healthcare utilization among the middle-aged and elderly in China. Methods: Data was extracted from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study in 2011, 2013 and 2015. Healthcare utilization was measured by outpatient and inpatient service utilization. Univariate analysis was deployed to examine the impacts of different medical insurance schemes on healthcare utilization. The factors associated with healthcare utilization were estimated using a random-effects logistic regression model. Results: During the study period, the number of individuals involved was 17,250, 18,195 and 19,842, respectively. The proportion of individuals who received outpatient service was 18.6, 20.7 and 18.7% and those who used inpatient service was 9.6, 13.8 and 14.3%, respectively. We identified that medical insurance was a major protective factor for improving healthcare utilization but different medical insurance schemes exerted various impacts on the middle-aged and the elderly. Conclusions: Despite the growing population coverage, the Chinese government should make every effort to bridge the gap among people with different medical insurance schemes. Further evaluation is needed to assess whether the expanded medical insurance schemes could protect the middle-aged and elderly households from catastrophic health expenditure.
A study of new screw soil nail
Creators: name: Tokhi, Haman
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 400502
subject: Civil geotechnical engineering

description: This dissertation is based on the study of a new soil nail called screw nail. The research is focused on the design, fabrication and analysis of a new screw nail and its interaction mechanisms between the soil and nail in two cohesive and non-cohesive soil materials that are compacted in a suitably fabricated large box.

The interaction behaviour of the nail was investigated by a series of fully instrumented pullout tests that were carried under different surcharge load conditions and the observed behaviours were compared with the results of pullout tests by various other investigators.

Numerical modelling was also carried out in an attempt to investigate and understand the performance and the shear mechanism of the screw nail under different boundary conditions. For this purpose, a full three-dimensional finite element computer program was used to study the soil and nail displacements associated with the axial loading.

Comprehensive laboratory soil tests were carried out prior and after the pullout tests to fully characterise the soils conditions. The box was instrumented with load cells and LVDTs and strain gauges were adhered to the screw nail. For the non-cohesive soil, thin vertical sand bands were cast to analyse the soil deformation patterns after the completion of the pullout tests.

The pullout tests of the screw nail show that its performance is better when compared to the results of other investigators due to the efficient geometry of the screw nail and its interaction with the surrounding soil.

title: Analyse von Flavonoiden im Honig
Creators: name: Petrus, Karoline
Year: 2009

description: Ziel der Diplomarbeit war es eine Analysenmethode zur Bestimmung von Flavonoiden in Honig mittels HPLC-CEAD, nach Extraktion der Substanzen mittels ASE, zu entwickeln. Dazu wurde zuerst eine Methode zur qualitativen und quantitativen Analyse von Flavonoidstandardsubstanzen mittels HPLC-CEAD entwickelt. Da mittels ASE keine ausreichende quantitative Extraktion der Flavonoiden aus der Honigmatrix erreicht wurde, wurde die Extraktion mittels des nichtionischen Polymerharzes Amberlite XAD-2 durchgeführt. Die Extrakte wurden mittels der für die Standardsubstanzen entwickelten Methode analysiert. Es wurde versucht verschiedene Honigsorten anhand ihres Flavonoidmusters zu charakterisieren. Die mittels HPLC-CEAD erhaltenen qualitativen Ergebnisse wurden mittels HPLC-ESI-MS überprüft und bestätigt. Es hat sich gezeigt, dass man nur über das Flavonoidmuster einer Honigsorte ihre Sortenreinheit nicht beurteilen kann, auch wenn für z.B. Zitrushonige das Flavonoid Hesperetin charakteristisch ist.

description: Die Magisterarbeit untersucht die Informationskompetenz österreichischer Schüler/innen. Anhand qualitativer Leitfadeninterviews wurde erhoben, wie diese bei der schulischen Informationssuche vorgehen, wie sie im Internet nach Informationen suchen, mit den gefundenen Informationen umgehen und sie bewerten. Den theoretischen Rahmen der Arbeit bilden der Nutzenansatz, die Konzepte von Medien- und Informationskompetenz, Medienpädagogik, Informationsgesellschaft und Digital Natives. Zudem wird auf die Rolle und Charakteristika von Suchmaschinen sowie Wege der Informationssuche bzw. -bewertung und den aktuellen Forschungsstand zur Internetnutzung Jugendlicher bzw. zur Internetnutzung in Schulen eingegangen. Die Befragung hat gezeigt, dass das Internet ein selbstverständliches und hilfreiches Lern- und Rechercheinstrument im Schulalltag ist und vom Großteil der Befragten als primäres Instrument zur Informationssuche eingesetzt wird. Das Bewusstsein für den kritischen Umgang mit Internetquellen ist bei allen vorhanden, jedoch in unterschiedlichem Ausmaß. Ebenso unterschiedlich sind die Bewertungskriterien für Internetquellen. Informationen aus Büchern wird tendenziell mehr vertraut, insgesamt werden Bücher als Informationsquelle aber vom Großteil der Schüler/innen negativer bewertet als das Internet. Es wurden drei Such-Typen unter den Schüler/innen definiert: Kritisch-distanzierte/ aufgeschlossene/ überzeugte-unreflektierte Sucher. Im Unterricht wird das Internet vor allem in Nebenfächern eingesetzt, die Nutzung erfolgt eher unregelmäßig und ist vom jeweiligen Lehrerkörper abhängig. Informationskompetenz wird tendenziell nur im Ansatz vermittelt. Auffallend ist, dass die Schulbibliothek von den Schülern kaum genutzt wird. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Informationskompetenz bei den Schüler/innen zu einem gewissen Maß vorhanden ist, sie aber besser geschult werden sollte. Vor allem auf Lehrerseite müsste eine einheitliche Vermittlung von Informationskompetenz stattfinden, die Rolle der Schulbibliothek als Vermittler von Suchstrategien sollte gestärkt werden.

description: © 2020 Purpose: To report on the feasibility and performance of conventionally fractionated multileaf collimator (MLC)-based robotic stereotactic body re-irradiation of the head and neck region using MLC-based Cyberknife (CK) technology. Methods: Patients treated for recurrent or second primary head and neck cancer (HNC) with curative proton therapy to a target volume > 30 cm3 between 2011 and 2015 were included. MLC-based CK plans were generated using the CK M6 InCise2 MLC system. Dose statistics from MLC-based CK plans were compared to proton beam therapy (PBT) plans according to the following metrics: target coverage, target homogeneity index, gradient index, Paddick conformity index (CI), prescription isodose volume (PIV), treatment time (tTime) for one fraction as well as doses to organs at risk (OAR). Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to compare dose metrics. Results: Eight patients were included; the tumor sites included: salivary glands, pharynx (oropharynx, hypopharynx and retropharynx) and sinonasal cavities. Five of 8 patients were treated with multifield optimisation intensity modulated proton therapy, 3 were treated with passive scattering proton therapy. Median dose was 67 Gy (range 60–70) in 32 fractions (range 30–35). The median high-dose planning target volume (PTV) was 45.4 cm3 (range 2.4 – 130.2 cm3) and the median elective PTV was 91.9 cm3 (range 61.2 – 269.7 cm3). Overall, the mean target coverage (mean 98.3% vs. 96.2% for CK vs. PBT, respectively), maximum dose to PTV (mean 111% vs. 111%, p = 0.2) and mean dose to PTV (mean 104% vs. 104%) were similar across modalities. Highly conformal plans were achieved with both modalities, but mean CI was better with PBT (0.5 vs. 0.6 for CK vs. PBT, p = 0.04). Homogeneity and gradient indexes were similar between the 2 modalities; mean tTime with PBT and CK was 17 vs. 18 min, respectively (p = 0.7). Case-based study revealed that CK and PBT plans allowed for excellent sparing of OAR, with some clinical scenarios associated with better performance of CK while others with better performance of PBT. Conclusion: Our study has demonstrated the dosimetric performance of large volume head and neck re-irradiation using MLC-based CK in various clinical scenarios. While conformity was generally better achieved with PBT, MLC-based CK allowed for high dose gradient leading to rapid dose drop-off and sparing of OAR. Conventionally fractionated MLC-based CK could be a competitive alternative in large volume head and neck re-irradiation that deserves further investigation in the clinical setting.

Purpose To automate the estimation of swallowing motion from 2D MR cine images using deformable registration for future applications of personalized margin reduction in head and neck radiotherapy and outcome assessment of radiation-associated dysphagia. Methods Twenty-one patients with serial 2D FSPGR-MR cine scans of the head and neck conducted through the course of definitive radiotherapy for oropharyngeal cancer. Included patients had at least one cine scan before, during, or after radiotherapy, with a total of 52 cine scans. Contours of 7 swallowing related regions-of-interest (ROIs), including pharyngeal constrictor, epiglottis, base of tongue, geniohyoid, hyoid, soft palate, and larynx, were manually delineated from consecutive frames of the cine scan covering at least one swallowing cycle. We applied a modified thin-plate-spline robust-point-matching algorithm to register the point sets of each ROI automatically over frames. The deformation vector fields from the registration were then used to estimate the motion during swallowing for each ROI. Registration errors were estimated by comparing the deformed contours with the manual contours. Results On average 22 frames of each cine scan were contoured. The registration for one cine scan (7 ROIs over 22 frames) on average took roughly 22 minutes. A number of 8018 registrations were successfully batch processed without human interaction after the contours were drawn. The average registration error for all ROIs and all patients was 0.36 mm (range: 0.06 mm– 2.06 mm). Larynx had the average largest motion in superior direction of all structures under consideration (range: 0.0 mm– 58.7 mm). Geniohyoid had the smallest overall motion of all ROIs under consideration and the superior-inferior motion was larger than the anterior-posterior motion for all ROIs. Conclusion We developed and validated a deformable registration framework to automate the estimation of swallowing motion from 2D MR cine scans.

 All specimens referred here have a conical (or at least centrally conical and marginally flat) operculum, a mostly smooth to slightly serrate leaf margin, longly pointed leaf apex which is, however, sometimes hardly different from specimens cited under E. convexus, and variable length of costa. See also the comment under E. convexus. Frahm & Lüth (2008) firstly reported this species (as Funaria pulchella H.Philib.) from two collections, and Mifsud (2012) added four further localities.

On being religious : towards an alternative theory of religion and secularity
Creators: name: Rossiter, Ned
Publisher: name: Western Sydney University

description: Responding to Charles Taylor’s question, ‘What does it mean to say that we live in a secular age?’, this essay sets out to develop an alternative engaged theory of religion and secularity. It comes back with three alternative questions. Firstly, how can we find a way to understand the social whole without reducing the complexities and contradictions of social life to that of a singular age—in this case the notion of a secular age? Secondly, what is the social basis of religion and secularism? Here the approach treats both faith in the transcendental and ‘opposing’ arguments that God does not exist as social belief systems, each originating from different dominant ontological valences emerging at different times in human history. Thirdly, the essay asks, how are we to live in our time? Human flourishing, it is argued, will require re-embedding and substantially qualifying the hubris of the modern within a holistic matrix of ontologically different and often contradictory ways of relating. This essay will suggest that we need to recover forms of relations that arose out of analogical and genealogical ways of being present in customary ways of life (though not necessarily the cultural content of the ways in which those relations were once lived). It requires a politics of ontological limits. This train of argument leads us to a general proposal that lies at the heart of this essay. The social whole can better be understood in terms of changing intersecting assemblages of ontological formations—life-ways formed in tension with each other. In these terms, ontological formations are themselves understood as patterns of practice and meaning constituted at different dominant levels of abstraction. These formations are always in tension with each other—sometimes creatively, often destructively.

title: Which Event Happened First? Deferred Choice on Blockchain Using Oracles

description: First come, first served: Critical choices between alternative actions are often made based on events external to an organization, and reacting promptly to their occurrence can be a major advantage over the competition. In Business Process Management (BPM), such deferred choices can be expressed in process models, and they are an important aspect of process engines. Blockchain-based process execution approaches are no exception to this, but are severely limited by the inherent properties of the platform: The isolated environment prevents direct access to external entities and data, and the non-continual runtime based entirely on atomic transactions impedes the monitoring and detection of events. In this paper we provide an in-depth examination of the semantics of deferred choice, and transfer them to environments such as the blockchain. We introduce and compare several oracle architectures able to satisfy certain requirements, and show that they can be implemented using state-of-the-art blockchain technology.

description: The standard model of physics classifies particles into elementary leptons and hadrons composed of quarks. In this article the existence of an alternate ordering principle will be demonstrated giving particle energies to be quantized as a function of the fine-structure constant, α. The quantization can be derived using an appropriate wave function that acts as a probability amplitude on the electric field. The value of α itself can be approximated numerically by the gamma functions of the integrals involved.

The model may be used to calculate other particle properties as well. The magnetic moment may be calculated directly from the electromagnetic fields. In the range of femtometer the wave function overlap provides a mechanism for strong interaction. The model gives quantitative terms for strong, Coulomb and gravitational interaction of particles indicating a common base of these three forces.

Necessary input parameters for all calculations can be reduced to elementary charge and electric constant only.

description: © 2020 Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare self-reported health-related quality of life (QoL) and symptom burden in early stage tonsillar carcinoma patients treated with unilateral (URT) and bilateral radiotherapy (BRT). Methods and materials: This is a secondary analysis of a larger study assessing patient reported outcomes in human papillomavirus (HPV) oropharyngeal cancer (OPC) patients. Recruited patients were ≥12 months from completion of radiotherapy. This analysis included only patients with T1-2, N1-2b tonsil cancer and excluded patients with base of tongue involvement or recurrent disease. QoL and patient reported toxicity was measured using the EORTC QLQ-C30 module and the MDASI-HN. Results: Patients were enrolled from November 2018 to May 2019. Of the 136 patients recruited to the main study, 43 were eligible for this substudy (22 URT, 21 BRT), with a median age and follow up of 58.2 and 3.0 years respectively. The two groups were balanced with respect to patient, tumor and treatment factors with the exception of higher rates of T2 disease (27% v 71%, p = 0.006) and more extensive GTV nodal volumes (11.0 v 25.5cc, p = 0.006) in the BRT group. BRT patients had lower global health status/QoL (84 v 69, p = 0.0005) and social functioning scores (93 vs 78, p = 0.033) on the EORTC QLQ-C30, and higher symptom severity (0.6 vs. 2.0, p = 0.001) and symptom interference scores (0.8 vs. 2.0, p = 0.010) on the MDASI-HN. Four of the six largest differences observed on MDASI-HN items were attributable to radiotherapy technique (dry mouth, mucous, difficulty swallowing/chewing and taste), with corresponding dose differences to the respective organs (contralateral parotid, oral cavity and pharyngeal constrictors). In every instance, severity of symptoms was worse on average for patients treated with BRT. Conclusions: In the highly conformal radiotherapy era, BRT in early HPV tonsillar cancer survivors has an enduring impact on long-term QoL and toxicity.
