description: The current safety regulations and its correlative specifications of the coal industry ignore the problem of malfunction. To solve the issue completely, an optimized location model based on the methane sensor is proposed in this paper. The proposed model is not only economic but also reliable for a sensor of methane. In the procedure of establishing the optimized model, this paper selects the nodes of mine ventilation network as candidates, and the points specified by Mine regulations and specifications. A three-stage hybrid Pareto ant colony algorithm (HPACA) based on the column reduction, tabu search (TS) and Pareto ant colony algorithm (HPACA) is also designed. Finally, practical application of the proposed model is displayed with an example of the mine ventilation network.The computation results show that the HPACA algorithm can achieve the optimal solution or the approximate optimal solution of the location model quickly and effectively.

description: Using a result from orbifold theory, McMullen showed that Newton’s method is generally convergent for solving x n − c = 0. In this paper, we extend McMullen’s result to the next two members of an infinite family of iteration functions called the Basic Family which starts with Newton’s method. With the aid of a visualization technique called polynomiography, we further conjecture the general convergence of all members of the Basic Family when extracting radicals. Using the computer algebra system Maple, we obtain some partial results toward the proof of our conjecture.

description: Background The retirement of a family physician can represent a challenge in accessibility and continuity of care for patients. In this population-based, longitudinal cohort study, we assess whether and how long it takes for patients to find a new majority source of primary care (MSOC) when theirs retires, and we investigate the effect of demographic and clinical characteristics on this process. Methods We used provincial health insurance records to identify the complete cohort of patients whose majority source of care left clinical practice in either 2007/2008 or 2008/2009 and then calculated the number of days between their last visit with their original MSOC and their first visit with their new one. We compared the clinical and sociodemographic characteristics of patients who did and did not find a new MSOC in the three years following their original physician’s retirement using Chi-square and Fisher’s exact test. We also used Cox proportional hazards models to determine the adjusted association between patient age, sex, socioeconomic status, location and morbidity level (measured using Johns Hopkins’ Aggregated Diagnostic Groupings), and time to finding a new primary care physician. We produce survival curves stratified by patient age, sex, income and morbidity. Results Fifty-four percent of patients found a new MSOC within the first 12 months following their physician’s retirement. Six percent of patients still had not found a new physician after 36 months. Patients who were older and had higher levels of morbidity were more likely to find a new MSOC and found one faster than younger, healthier patients. Patients located in more urban regional health authorities also took longer to find a new MSOC compared to those in rural areas. Conclusions Primary care physician retirements represent a potential threat to accessibility; patients followed in this study took more than a year on average to find a new MSOC after their physician retired. Providing programmatic support to retiring physicians and their patients, as well as addressing shortages of longitudinal primary care more broadly could help to ensure smoother retirement transitions.

description: Background: Telework has benefits for many people with disabilities. The pandemic may create new employment opportunities for people with disabilities by increasing employer acceptance of telework, but this crucially depends on the occupational structure.
description: Objective: We compare people with and without disabilities in the expansion of telework as the pandemic began, and the evolution of telework during the pandemic.
description: Methods: We use U.S. data from the American Community Survey from 2008 to 2020 and the Current Population Survey over the May 2020 to April 2022 period. Prevalence and trends are analyzed using linear probability and multinomial logit regressions.
description: Results: While workers with disabilities were more likely than those without disabilities to telework before the pandemic, they were less likely to telework during the pandemic. The occupational distribution accounts for most of this difference. Tight labor markets, as measured by state unemployment rates, particularly favor people with disabilities obtaining telework jobs. While people with cognitive/mental health and mobility impairments were the most likely to telework during the pandemic, tight labor markets especially favored the expansion of telework for people with vision impairments and difficulty with daily activities inside the home.
description: Conclusions: Many people with disabilities benefit from working at home, and the pandemic has increased employer acceptance of telework, but the current occupational distribution limits this potential. Tighter labor markets during the recovery offer hope that employers will increasingly hire people with disabilities in both telework and non-telework jobs.

description: Objective The purpose of this clinical trial was to examine the effect of omega-3 fatty acids (W-3 FAs), nanocurcumin and their combination on serum levels and gene expression of VCAM in patients with episodic migraine. Results In this study, 80 patients were randomly divided in to 4 groups to receive for 2 months. Both serum levels and gene expression of VCAM showed remarkable decreases after single W-3 and after combined W-3 and nanocurcumin interventions. However, a borderline significant change and no remarkable change were observed after single nanocurcumin supplementation and in control group, respectively. While a significant difference between study groups in VCAM concentrations existed, there was no meaningful difference in VCAM gene expression among groups. It appears that the W-3 and combined W-3 and nanocurcumin can relieve VCAM serum level and its gene expression in patients with episodic migraine. Moreover, the combination of W-3 with nanocurcumin might cause more significant declines in VCAM level in the serum of migraine patients than when W-3 is administered alone. Trial Registration: This study was registered in Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials (IRCT) with ID number: NCT02532023.

description: Operator mistakes have been identified as a significant source of unavailability in Internet services. In our previous work, we proposed operator action validation as a framework for detecting mistakes while hiding them from the service and its users. Unfortunately, previous validation strategies have limitations: they require known instances of correct behavior for comparison and they fail to detect latent mistakes, i.e. those that do not lead to unexpected behaviors during the validation process. In this paper, we propose a novel validation strategy, called model-based validation, that addresses these limitations and complements the other strategies. Modelbased validation introduces a new language for service engineers to write assertions about expected behaviors, proper configurations, and proper structural characteristics, and an associated runtime system, which executes the assertions and monitors the service’s execution. Our evaluation demonstrates that model-based validation is highly effective at detecting and hiding both activated and latent mistakes.

description: Extremely obese women are less likely than nonobese women to receive breast and cervical cancer screening examinations. Reasons for this disparity are unclear and may stem from patient and/or physician barriers. This sequential mixed-methods study used individual in-depth interviews of 15 family physicians followed by a mail survey of 255 family physicians (53% response rate) to understand the barriers they faced in performing cancer screening examinations in extremely obese women. Barriers fell into three main areas: (i) difficulty doing pelvic and breast exams; (ii) inadequate equipment; and (iii) challenges overcoming patient barriers and refusal. This led some physicians to avoid performing breast and pelvic examinations on extremely obese women. Having more knowledge about specific examination techniques was associated with less difficulty in palpating lumps on breast and pelvic examinations (P < 0.005). Physicians perceived that embarrassment, aversion to undressing, and avoidance of discussions related to their weight were the most frequent barriers extremely obese women had with getting physical examinations. Educating and/or motivating patients and addressing fears were strategies used most frequently when patients refused mammograms or Pap smears. Interventions focusing on physician barriers, such as educating them on specific examination techniques, obtaining adequate equipment and supplies, and providing resources to assist physicians in dealing with patient barriers and refusal, may be fruitful in increasing cancer screening rates in extremely obese patients. Future research studies testing the effectiveness of these strategies are needed to improve cancer outcomes in this high-risk population.

description: The conditions for which conversation of scattered energy and phase-function asymmetry factor after discrete-ordinates methods (DOM) directional discretization for 3-D radiative transfer in anisotropic scattering media breaks down are examined. Directional discretization in anisotropic scattering media is found to alter the scattering asymmetry factor—a second-type of ‘‘false scattering.’’ Phase-function normalization which conserves scattered energy alone cannot correct this problem, and conservation of the asymmetry factor is simultaneously required. A normalization technique developed by the authors, which was successfully tested in 2-D asymmetric cylindrical-coordinate radiative transfer analysis, is intensively examined and validated with benchmark problems in 3-D Cartesian coordinates. In Part I of this study, the degree of anisotropy for which normalization is necessary to conserve these inherent quantities is presented for various phase-function approximations and discrete quadrature sets.

description: Background Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare autosomal dominant disease resulting in recurring episodes of swelling, leading to considerable patient morbidity and mortality. Lanadelumab is a plasma kallikrein inhibitor that is approved as 1st line therapy in Canada for long term prophylaxis of HAE attacks. Objective To describe our clinical findings from a case series of adult patients with HAE type 1/2 who have been initiated on lanadelumab. Methods A chart review of HAE type 1/2 patients at three academic centers in Canada was undertaken with demographic and clinical data extracted. Patients were included if they had been receiving lanadelumab for at least 6 months. Patients with other causes of angioedema were excluded. Results 12 patients meeting enrollment criteria were identified. Compared to pre-lanadelumab, patients had mean reductions of 72% and 62% in attack rate and treated attack rate respectively. 3 patients reported complete remission from attacks after starting lanadelumab. Most patients had significant improvements in HAE impact on social outings. Conclusion Our case series findings support the 2019 International/Canadian HAE guideline that lanadelumab is an effective therapy for long term prophylaxis. In our patient population, initiation of lanadelumab improved disease control, minimized the burden of treatment and improved HAE impact on social outings.

description: The adoption of a scientifically integrated spatial planning is a basic prerequisite for the development of commercial and social activities, especially in the tourism industry. The organization of tourism development through land-use planning, based on the principles of sustainable development, increases investors’ confidence and upgrades the country to a mature tourist destination for investments. In Greece, following the cancellation by the Hellinic Council of State of the last Special Spatial Planning for Tourism (SSPT), the siting of tourist facilities has been dependent on the existing Regional Spatial Plans over the past three years which do not include many modern tourism development models. The lack of specific spatial planning for tourism is an inhibiting factor in the realization of hotel investments. In the light of this constraint on the tourist accommodation industry, this research is about to illustrate the extent of the impact of the absence of an appropriate SSPT on the realization of hotel investments.

description: With all the technological advances and research in sports tracking and human movement analysis in climbing due to the increasing popularity of the sport, no evidence of the use of an automated scoring system for climbing competitions is found in literature. The lack thereof motivated the evaluation of state of the art technology regarding its fitness for such task and its practical viability. Therefore, in this thesis a framework for an automated scoring system for climbing competitions with a focus on lead climbing is built. A novel one-camera approach is taken and a low-cost system is proposed where a single perspective from behind the climber is used to provide video data. The system utilizes the video data from the camera in conjunction with object tracking, color masking and image processing techniques in Python to derive scores post-competition. With YOLOv3, state of the art computer vision technology is used for climber detection and tracking, while the climbing holds are manually marked and further delineated with HSV color masks in a simple user interface. The declaration of holds as "reached" utilizes difference calculation with the structural similarity (SSIM) index and thresholds it against empirically derived values. Two video resolutions, 4k and 1080p, are used for building and testing the system. The results from the testing are manually reviewed and provide insights for the system integrity (the system not failing) with mean integrity values for the tested video resolutions of 82.6% and 76.6% respectively. The lower performance values (correctly declared holds) of 48.7% and 40.4% respectively show potential for improvement. The workflow established in this thesis yields a usable scoring system for post-competition reviews and serves as a proof of concept for possible future developments in regards of automated scoring systems for climbing competitions.

description: An efficient implementation of the shifting algorithm ([BPS]) for min-max tree partitioning is given. The complexity is reduced from ORO+ kn) to ORM + logd) + n) where a tree of n vertices, radius of R edges, and maximum degree d is partitioned into k + 1 sub trees. The improvement is mainly due to the new junction tree data structure, which suggests a succinct representation for subsets of edges, of a given tree, that preserves the interrelation between the edges on the tree.
Portable smart messages architecture for ubiquitous Java-enabled devices

description: This paper presents the design and implementation of a lightweight and flexible middleware, based on Smart Messages (SMs), for programming distributed applications over networks of ubiquitous Java-enabled devices, such as cell phones and PDAs. SMs are user-defined distributed applications which execute on nodes of interest, named by their properties, and use explicit migration to move between these nodes. The main benefits provided by SMs are ease of deployment for new applications and adaptability to highly dynamic network conditions. To leverage the computing power of existent wireless Java-enabled devices, we have designed a portable SM architecture in which the SM support at nodes is implemented as a runtime system on top of pre-installed Java virtual machines, and the SM migration is implemented by instrumenting the SM Java bytecode. The experimental results for applications executed over a testbed consisting of HP iPAQs communicating through 802.11 wireless cards demonstrate the feasibility of our architecture.

description: Patient navigation has been widely implemented by cancer care programs across the United States. While activities of navigators have been described elsewhere, little has been documented regarding specific strategies used or challenges experienced by navigators from their own perspectives. We describe the experience of an African American patient navigator who promoted breast cancer screening and facilitated diagnosis and treatment among inner-city mostly African American women in Newark, New Jersey. We conducted qualitative analysis of journal notes, log data, and in-depth interviews with the patient navigator. Strategies used by the patient navigator to develop trust and rapport included: (1) "meet patients where they are" (outreach is best performed in locations women frequent, such as hair salons); (2) being accessible (must be flexible and available by phone or in person to meet patient's needs); and (3) "bring it down, sista" (must have "street credibility" in dress and language). Key challenges included experiencing threats to safety, setting boundaries, and facing and overcoming burnout. The patient navigator responded to these obstacles by creating new community linkages and resources and reaching out for emotional support from her mother and supervisor. Areas that need to be addressed further for future patient navigator programs include promoting safety in potentially dangerous neighborhoods and helping navigators set boundaries and avoid burnout. Further research into experiences of patient navigators in different settings is needed to build upon this preliminary data, and to consider character traits and attributes best suited for a patient navigator, as well as the support needed for this new health care worker.
Multiscale simulations of critical interfacial failure in carbon nanotube-polymer composites

Publisher: name: Imperial College London

description: Functionalised carbon nanotube/polymer composites (CNPC) have received significant interest as promising structural materials with applications in in the most demanding areas of industry such as ballistic protection. However, the current generation of CNPCs falls short of their theoretical limit for mechanical properties and improvement is desirable. Quality of the interface between CNTs and polymers are a key factor affecting the reinforcement in CNPCs and developing a fundamental understanding of critical failure at the interface is essential to optimise the properties of this class of materials. Computer simulations are instrumental in improving our understanding CNPC interfacial failure but their execution can be challenging; the bond-breaking processes at the polymer-CNT attachment point that initiate failure are quantum-mechanical (QM) in nature, yet the mechanisms by which stresses are transferred through the disordered polymer occur on length-scales far in excess of anything that can be simulated quantum-mechanically. In this work, we address this issue with a novel, adaptive quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) simulation method where the majority of the system is simulated with a classical forcefield, while areas of particular interest are identified on-the-fly and simulated quantum-mechanically. We demonstrate that this method’s results are in excellent agreement with fully-QM benchmark simulations and offer qualitative insights missing from classical simulations. Using this approach, we investigate the effects of interfacial chemistry on the ISS in CNPCs by simulating carbon nanotube pull-out from a crosslinked polyethylene matrix. We find that the choice of the functional group linking the polymer matrix to the nanotube determines the effective interfacial shear strength (ISS), which can be increased up to the limit dictated by the strength of the polymer backbone by choosing groups with higher interfacial binding energy. We rank the functional groups based on the strength of the resulting interface and suggest broad guidelines for the rational design of nanotube functionalisation for CNPCs.

description: This study intends to show the potential application of a non-recyclable plastic waste towards the development of electrically conductive nanocomposites. Herein, the conductive nanofiller and binding matrix are carbon nanotubes (CNT) and polystyrene (PS), respectively, and the waste material is a plastic foam consisting of mainly vulcanized nitrile butadiene rubber and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Two nanocomposite systems, i.e., PS/Waste/CNT and PS/CNT, with different compositions were melt-blended in a mixer and characterized for electrical properties. Higher electrical conduction and improved electromagnetic interference shielding performance in PS/Waste/CNT system indicated better conductive network of CNTs. For instance, at 1.0 wt.% CNT loading, the PS/Waste/CNT nanocomposites with the plastic waste content of 30 and 50 wt.% conducted electricity 3 and 4 orders of magnitude higher than the PS/CNT nanocomposite, respectively. More importantly, incorporation of the plastic waste (50 wt.%) reduced the electrical percolation threshold by 30% in comparison with the PS/CNT nanocomposite. The enhanced network of CNTs in PS/Waste/CNT samples was attributed to double percolation morphology, evidenced by optical images and rheological tests, caused by the excluded volume effect of the plastic waste. Indeed, due to its high content of vulcanized rubber, the plastic waste did not melt during the blending process. As a result, CNTs concentrated in the PS phase, forming a denser interconnected network in PS/Waste/CNT samples.

description: The humanities today use digital tools for their research projects. This training is an opportunity to review research data and FAIR principles in humanities projects. In this session, we provide an introduction to the research data life cycle, and then discuss how the digital humanities produce and must manage research data. We show what it means to create FAIR data, even before a project begins. We also see the management differences between the physical objects, their various digital forms and metadata, as well as the research data produced during the project. Finally, we finish with a review of tools and good practices, before showing examples, such as data reuse and the use of the CIDOC CRM ontology.
