title: A semantic-driven framework for IT support of clinical laboratory standards
Creators: name: Maikore, Fatima Sabiu
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2020

description: The clinical laboratory plays a critical role in the delivery of care within the healthcare system by providing services that support accurate and timely diagnosis of diseases. The clinical laboratory relies on standard operating procedures (SOP) to provide information and guidance on the laboratory procedures. To ensure an excellent standard of clinical laboratory services, SOPs need to be of high quality, and practitioners need to have easy access to information contained within the SOPs. However, we argue in this thesis that there is a lack of standardization within clinical laboratory SOPs, and machines and human practitioners have difficulties accessing or using the content of SOPs. This thesis proposes a solution to challenges regarding the representation and use of SOPs in clinical laboratories (see Chapter 1). The research work in this thesis is based on the most up-to-date technological, theoretical, and empirical approaches (see Chapter 2). Additionally, external researchers have already utilized the outcome of this research for various purposes (see Chapter 5). In this thesis, we present the SmartSOP framework, a semantic-driven framework, that supports the representation of clinical laboratory procedure concepts in a standardised format for use within software applications. The SmartSOP framework consists of three main components, the Ontology for Clinical Laboratory SOP (OCL-SOP), the translation engine that converts free text SOPs to a standardised format, and a mobile application to provide lab practitioners with easy access to SOPs (see Chapters 3 and 4). We used the design science approach for the execution of this research work.

description: The organic/inorganic fluid loss additive was prepared by using silane coupling agent KH-550 modified nano silica as auxiliary material and 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid (AMPS), N-vinylpyrrolidone (NVP), Acrylamide (AM), Fumaric acid (FA) as the comonomer. The ideal reaction conditions of the copolymer were confirmed to be the reaction temperature was 65 °C, the reaction time was 6 h, the mass ratio of AMPS/AM/NVP/FA was 4:4:1:1, and the amount of initiator was 0.36 wt%. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and thermogravimetry-differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA) were used to characterize the resulting copolymer, and its morphology was studied. TG test results confirmed that the copolymer has good thermal resistance, which can be found at 229 °C to maintain the thermal stability of the macromolecular chains; GPC results indicated that the number average molecular weight (Mn) of the polymer was 11.08 × 104 g/mol, the fluid loss additive ANAFM has good filtration performance, and the API filtration of oil well cement is 46 mL at 130 °C with 5% ANAFM. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results show that ANAFM could adsorb on the surface of cement particles to form a hydration layer, which prevented leakage of oil well cement slurry.

description: This article addresses an appointment scheduling problem in which the server responds to congestion of the service system. Using waiting time as a proxy for how far behind schedule the server is running, we characterize the congestion-induced behavior of the server as a function of a customer’s waiting time. Decision variables are the scheduled arrival times for a specific sequence of customers. The objective of our model is to minimize a weighted cost incurred for a customer’s waiting time, server overtime and server speedup in response to congestion. We provide alternative formulations of this problem as a Simulation Optimization (SO) model and a Stochastic Integer Programming (SIP) model, respectively. We show that the SIP model can solve moderate-sized instances exactly under certain assumptions about a server′s response to congestion. We further show that the SO model achieves near-optimal solutions for moderate-sized problems while also being able to scale up to much larger problem instances. We present theoretical results for both models and we carry out a series of experiments to illustrate the characteristics of the optimal schedules and to measure the importance of accounting for a server′s response to congestion when scheduling appointments using a case study for an outpatient clinic at a large medical center. Finally, we summarize the most important managerial insights obtained from this study.

description: We have investigated the critical phenomenon associated with the magnetic phase transition in the half-metallic full-Heusler Co$_2$TiGe. The compound undergoes a continuous ferromagnetic to paramagnetic phase transition at the Curie temperature $T_{C}$=371.5 K. The analysis of magnetization isotherms in the vicinity of $T_{c}$, following modified Arrott plot method, Kouvel-Fisher technique, and critical isotherm plot, yields the asymptotic critical exponents $β$=0.495, $γ$=1.324, and $δ$=3.67. The self-consistency and reliability of the obtained exponents are further verified by the Widom scaling relation and scaling equation of states. The mean-field-like value of the critical exponent $β$ suggests long-range nature of the exchange interactions, whereas the values of the critical exponents $γ$ and $δ$, imply sizeable critical spin fluctuations. The half-metallic itinerant character of Co$_{2}$TiGe in the presence of magnetic inhomogeneity may result in such a strong deviation from the three-dimensional Heisenberg values ($β$=0.369, $γ$=1.38 and $δ$=4.8) of the critical exponents towards the mean field values ($β$=0.5, $γ$=1 and $δ$=3). The results suggest complex nature of exchange couplings that stabilize the long-range ferromagnetic ordering in the system and are consistent with the earlier theoretical studies on the exchange mechanism in Co$_2$TiGe.

description: Multifractal scaling analysis of nuclear giant resonance transition probability distributions is performed within the approximation which takes into account the one-particle-one-hole (1p-1h) and 2p-2h states. A new measure to determine the fractal dimensions of the spectra is introduced. It is found that chaotic dynamics governing the decay leads to non-trivial multifractal scaling properties. Such a kind of scaling is absent in the case of regular dynamics. The degree of collectivity is another element which worsens the scaling.

description: "... in Australian fiction, when writers engage with suburban life, they do so in an overwhelmingly negative way. It seems that Australia has a national habitus that accommodates both a pro-suburban lifestyle and an anti-suburban sentiment. This thesis takes a broad view of Bourdieu's theories on habitus and applies them to a range of suburban fictions .... [to] demonstrate how the ambivalence that defines the Australian relationship with suburbia is manifested in our fiction. The study of Australian fiction exposes not just the anti-suburban fiction, but also reveals a number of tropes that provide a way to negotiate the habitus: the expatriate, the lone hand, and the lost child"--Abstract.

description: Control measures at Equity Silver Mines Ltd. have been effective in minimizing the environmental impact of A.M.D. Those reclamation measures practiced, at least from results indicated by testwork, appear to be reducing net metal, sulphate and acidity loading by 40 %. Monitoring will be continued to substantiate these reductions. Research work continues at the mnesite to optimize treatment processes such that post closure operating costs are maintained within a manageable range. Details are now being worked on to secure funds to accomodate inperpetuity treatment of A.M.D.. There is however legislative and tax changes required to accomodate tax exemption within the program. With all conditions realized, water management could be a real operating burden if not for for the undivided support of management and operating crews at Equity Silver Mines Ltd. For this the writer extents much appreciation.

BACKGROUND: Family members influence maternal, child, and adolescent nutrition and are increasingly engaged in nutrition interventions and research. However, there remain gaps in the literature related to programmatic experiences and lessons learned from engaging these key influencers in nutrition activities. OBJECTIVES: This research aimed to document global health professionals' experiences engaging family members in nutrition activities, and their perceived barriers, facilitators, and recommendations for nutrition activities that engage family members. METHODS: Global health and nutrition professionals were invited to complete an online survey about their experiences engaging family members in nutrition activities. The survey included 42 multiple-choice questions tabulated by frequency and 4 open-response questions, which were analyzed thematically. RESULTS: More than 180 respondents (n = 183) in 49 countries with experience engaging fathers, grandmothers, and other family members in nutrition activities participated in the survey. Participants highlighted the importance of conducting formative research with all members of the family system and using participatory processes in intervention design and implementation. Respondents reported engaging family members increases support for recommended behaviors, improves program sustainability, and facilitates family and community ownership. Some respondents also shared experiences with positive and negative unintended consequences when engaging family members; for example, one-fifth of participants reported that mothers were uncomfortable with involving men in discussions. Common challenges centered on limited resources for program delivery, not involving all influential family members, and traditional gender norms. Recommendations included incorporating family members in the project design phase and ensuring sufficient project resources to engage family members throughout the project lifecycle. CONCLUSIONS: Surveying global health professionals provides an opportunity to learn from their experiences and fill gaps in the peer-reviewed literature to strengthen intervention design and implementation. Community ownership and sustainability emerged as key benefits of family engagement not previously reported in the literature, but responses also highlighted potential negative unintended consequences.

description: This dissertation determines how to improve the financial management of natural disaster risks through better design of risk transfer instruments and insurance. By analyzing theoretical models, field surveys and numerical simulations, innovative risk transfer mechanisms that lead to improvements in welfare are constructed and examined. The chapters of my dissertation contribute to a growing field of academic research concerning how to manage natural disaster and extreme weather risks in the face of climate change. In designing policies for the changing environment, uncertainty and risk play a large role. This dissertation recognizes and harnesses these uncertainties to create a framework for risk transfer in the case of extreme events.
Non-asymptotic error controlled sparse high dimensional precision matrix estimation

description: Estimation of a high dimensional precision matrix is a critical problem to many areas of statistics including Gaussian graphical models and inference on high dimensional data. Working under the structural assumption of sparsity, we propose a novel methodology for estimating such matrices while controlling the false positive rate, percentage of matrix entries incorrectly chosen to be non-zero. We specifically focus on false positive rates tending towards zero with finite sample guarantees. This methodology is distribution free, but is particularly applicable to the problem of Gaussian network recovery. We also consider applications to constructing gene networks in genomics data.

Governing Social Bodies: Affect and Number in Contemporary Cricket
Creators: Arumugam, Sivakumar Vairavanather
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2012
Subjects: Ethnology

description: Two recent cybernetics-derived academic disciplines, biomechanics and operations research, have worked to reshape cricket. Liberalization and the consequent large flows of money into the game have resulted in a transformation in how the game is regulated, coached, and played. In this dissertation, I have focused on how cricket is now being produced through an account of the use of biomechanics in the regulating and coaching of cricket and an appraisal of the role that operations research plays in regulating interruptions to individual games of cricket. I argue that these twin developments correspond to Foucault's notion of a contemporary governmentality organized around the body as machine and the species of body, respectively. A consideration of the manner in which cybernetics underpins these practices and theories broadens and deepens accounts of both how the contemporary world is continually being shaped and being studied.

description: There is a general consensus among scientists that climate change poses a severe threat to organisms with little tolerance for higher temperatures than those in their current environmental niche. The effects of increased environmental temperature will be of significance in those organisms combining reduced thermal tolerance and limited mobility across the environment to allow shifts to more optimal habitat. The relict populations of the freshwater crayfish genus, Euastacus, in Queensland are generally restricted to cooler mountain-top streams and are at significant extinction risk due to these factors. While noted as threatened by increases in environmental temperature, key knowledge gaps exist regarding the thermal biology of these crayfish. This project sought to answer the underlying question; Are species of Euastacus in Queensland, some with severely restricted distributions, currently experiencing thermal stress in warmer parts of the year? It was anticipated that evidence of fitness reducing temperatures in these crayfish would give an indication of the future effect of climate change, primarily increased temperature, and initiate further research into this vulnerable genus. A minimally-intrusive assessment of physiological and biochemical indicators of tissue damage in response to an imposed thermal stressor were initially developed using a model organism, Cherax quadricarinatus. The data provided “proof of concept” for a validated method to contrast the level of thermal stress experienced between individuals of the same species, conditioned to different temperatures. Additionally, the results indicated that the physiological and biochemical indicators gave some defined effects of higher temperature on the model organism, and opened up the potential for a suite of non invasive assays to be used within the genus Euastacus.

description:
Background Many low- and middle-income countries cannot measure maternal mortality to monitor progress against global and country-specific targets. While the ultimate goal for these countries is to have complete civil registrations systems, other interim strategies are needed to provide timely estimates of maternal mortality. Objective The objective is to inform on potential options for measuring maternal mortality. Methods This paper uses a case study approach to compare methodologies and estimates of pregnancy-related mortality ratio (PRMR)/maternal mortality ratio (MMR) obtained from four different data sources from similar time periods in Bangladesh, Mozambique, and Bolivia—national population census; post-census mortality survey; household sample survey; and sample vital registration system (SVRS). Results For Bangladesh, PRMR from the 2011 census falls closely in line with the 2010 household survey and SVRS estimates, while SVRS’ MMR estimates are closer to the PRMR estimates obtained from the household survey. Mozambique's PRMR from household survey method is comparable and shows an upward trend between 1994 and 2011, whereas the post-census mortality survey estimated a higher MMR for 2007. Bolivia's DHS and post-census mortality survey also estimated comparable MMR during 1998–2003. Conclusions Overall all these data sources presented in this paper have provided valuable information on maternal mortality in Bangladesh, Mozambique, and Bolivia. It also outlines recommendations to estimate maternal mortality based on the advantages and disadvantages of several approaches. Contribution Recommendations in this paper can help health administrators and policy planners in prioritizing investment for collecting reliable and contemporaneous estimates of maternal mortality while progressing toward a complete civil registration system.
On pressure and velocity flow boundary conditions and bounceback for the lattice Boltzmann BGK model

description: Pressure (density) and velocity boundary conditions inside a flow domain are studied for 2-D and 3-D lattice Boltzmann BGK models (LBGK) and a new method to specify these conditions are proposed. These conditions are constructed in consistency of the wall boundary condition based on an idea of bounceback of non-equilibrium distribution. When these conditions are used together with the improved incompressible LBGK model by Zou et al., the simulation results recover the analytical solution of the plane Poiseuille flow driven by pressure (density) difference with machine accuracy. Since the half-way wall bounceback boundary condition is very easy to implement and was shown theoretically to give second-order accuracy for the 2-D Poiseuille flow with forcing, it is used with pressure (density) inlet/outlet conditions proposed in this paper and in Chen et al. to study the 2-D Poiseuille flow and the 3-D square duct flow. The numerical results are approximately second-order accurate. The magnitude of the error of the half-way wall bounceback is comparable with that using some other published boundary conditions. Besides, the bounceback condition has a much better stability behavior than that of other boundary conditions.

description: In this paper, we investigate the model-driven deep learning (DL) for MIMO detection. In particular, the MIMO detector is specially designed by unfolding an iterative algorithm and adding some trainable parameters. Since the number of trainable parameters is much fewer than the data-driven DL based signal detector, the model-driven DL based MIMO detector can be rapidly trained with a much smaller data set. The proposed MIMO detector can be extended to soft-input soft-output detection easily. Furthermore, we investigate joint MIMO channel estimation and signal detection (JCESD), where the detector takes channel estimation error and channel statistics into consideration while channel estimation is refined by detected data and considers the detection error. Based on numerical results, the model-driven DL based MIMO detector significantly improves the performance of corresponding traditional iterative detector, outperforms other DL-based MIMO detectors and exhibits superior robustness to various mismatches.

Relaxation fluctuations about an equilibrium in quantum chaos

description: Classically chaotic systems relax to coarse grained states of equilibrium. Here we numerically study the quantization of such bounded relaxing systems, in particular the quasi-periodic fluctuations associated with the correlation between two density operators. We find that when the operators, or their Wigner-Weyl transforms, have obvious classical limits that can be interpreted as piecewise continuous functions on phase space, the variance of the fluctuations can distinguish classically chaotic and regular motions, thus providing a novel diagnostic devise of quantum chaos. We uncover several features of the relaxation fluctuations that are shared by disparate systems thus establishing restricted universality. If we consider the nonlinearity driving the chaos as pseudo-time, we find that the onset of classical chaos is indicated quantally as the relaxation of the relaxation fluctuations to a Gaussian distribution.

description: We study the dynamics of the three-dimensional polaron - a quantum particle coupled to bosonic fields - in the quasi-classical regime. In this case the fields are very intense and the corresponding degrees of freedom can be treated semiclassically. We prove that in such a regime the effective dynamics for the quantum particles is approximated by the one generated by a time-dependent point interaction, i.e., a singular time-dependent perturbation of the Laplacian supported in a point. As a by-product, we also show that the unitary dynamics of a time-dependent point interaction can be approximated in strong operator topology by the one generated by time-dependent Schrödinger operators with suitably rescaled regular potentials.

description: The primary advantage of moderately superheated bubble chamber detectors is their simultaneous sensitivity to nuclear recoils from WIMP dark matter and insensitivity to electron recoil backgrounds. A comprehensive analysis of PICO gamma calibration data demonstrates for the first time that electron recoils in C$_3$F$_8$ scale in accordance with a new nucleation mechanism, rather than one driven by a hot-spike as previously supposed. Using this semi-empirical model, bubble chamber nucleation thresholds may be tuned to be sensitive to lower energy nuclear recoils while maintaining excellent electron recoil rejection. The PICO-40L detector will exploit this model to achieve thermodynamic thresholds as low as 2.8 keV while being dominated by single-scatter events from coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering of solar neutrinos. In one year of operation, PICO-40L can improve existing leading limits from PICO on spin-dependent WIMP-proton coupling by nearly an order of magnitude for WIMP masses greater than 3 GeV c$^{-2}$ and will have the ability to surpass all existing non-xenon bounds on spin-independent WIMP-nucleon coupling for WIMP masses from 3 to 40 GeV c$^{-2}$.

description: This dissertation traces the genealogy of systemic risk as a pathology of monetary government of the economy and systemic risk regulation as a regulatory regime to govern this governmental problem as instituted under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform Act of 2010. Using resilience and vulnerability as diagnostic categories, it reconstructs the history of economic government since the New Deal as a recursive problem-solving process, plagued with negative feedback loops. It shows how different groups of experts, acting as policy entrepreneurs, problematized and framed the economy as a crisis-prone system and how they tried to reduce the catastrophe risk in the economy without restricting economic activity and growth. In doing this, the dissertation details the proposals as well as the actual governmental apparatuses set up to represent and format the economy. It argues that systemic risk regulation emerges at the intersection of two distinct, but historically interrelated genealogical threads, systemic risk and vulnerability reduction. It shows that while systemic risk has been articulated in different ways since the 1920s, its emergence in its contemporary form took place with the rise of the monetary government in the 1970s. Under monetary government, the financial system was reformatted as a vital credit-supply infrastructure that functioned as a monetary policy transmission mechanism. A critical aspect of this reformatting was the cultivation of an increasingly leveraged financial system that relied on short-term lending markets for operational liquidity. The outcome of this development, in turn, was the reframing of systemic risk as the catastrophe risk that the failure of a firm participating in these markets would result in a system-wide collapse and thereby a depression. Vulnerability reduction, in contrast, was conceived by a group of experts working in New Deal resource planning agencies between the early 1930s and the mid-1950s. This governmental technology was concerned with the resilience of the economic system to low probability but high impact macroeconomic shocks. Within this governmental strategy, the primary objective was to reduce the vulnerability of certain points of interdependence that were considered to be critical and strategic nodes within the economic system. The dissertation argues that the rise of systemic risk regulation signifies the convergence of systemic risk and vulnerability reduction for the first time since these two genealogical threads were separated in the post-Truman period. In this respect, this development points to the remapping of vulnerability reduction onto financial ontology of substantive credit flows and thus the rearticulation of monetary government with systemic tools such as network and catastrophe modeling in a substantive form.
Governing by Fiduciary: How the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 Delegated Control over Pension Policy to Private Actors

description: Approximately one-half of Americans participate in a pension plan offered by their employers and subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).  Yet ERISA is frequently ignored by social scientists researching retirement income because of its complexity.  Given the enormous amount of foregone tax revenues that support private pensions, the motivating question of my dissertation is:  How did the American state change as Congress delegated power over American pension plans to private employers?  I argue that a weak system of bureaucratic oversight and the federal courts' deference to pension administrators allowed fiduciaries to control policy implementation and assume a role traditionally reserved for the state - blurring the line between public and private.
      My purpose here is to provide an analytical history of ERISA that explores its methods of delegating both policymaking control over and the detailed nuances of administration of private pension plans to private actors.  I explore the concept of fiduciary status as a safeguard when government outsources the implementation of policy to private actors.  Regardless of whether fiduciary standards have ensured sufficient accountability in the ERISA context - and I find that they have not - I argue that the potential is there and analyze where ERISA went wrong.
Boundary terms and on-shell action in Ricci-based gravity theories: the Hamiltonian formulation

description: Considering the so-called Ricci-based gravity theories, a family of extensions of General Relativity whose action is given by a non-linear function of contractions and products of the (symmetric part of the) Ricci tensor of an independent connection, the Hamiltonian formulation of the theory is obtained. To do so, the independent connection is decomposed in two parts, one compatible with a metric tensor and the other one given by a 3-rank tensor. Subsequently, the Riemann tensor is expressed in terms of its projected components onto a hypersurface, allowing to construct the $3+1$ decomposition of the theory and the corresponding Gauss-Codazzi relations, where the boundary terms naturally arise in the gravitational action. Finally, the ADM decomposition is followed in order to construct the corresponding Hamiltonian and the ADM energy for any Ricci-based gravity theory. The formalism is applied to the simple case of Schwarzschild space-time.
