description: Experiential education is an intentional educational process that relies on experiential learning theory. This paper categorizes common features of experiential education and analyzes them with a cultural framework. Common features of experiential education include individual development, student-centered teaching, individual challenge and learning, challenge-by-choice, “emotional safety”, and reflection/processing activities. The features of experiential education that I have analyzed have basic cultural assumptions of high individuality, low power distance, low uncertainty avoidance, high achievement, emphasis on internal control, and possible interaction with ascriptive dispositions and masculine characteristics. These assumptions may have implications for practitioners practicing cross-culturally. In an increasingly global world and with the increasing popularity of experiential education all over the world, I suggest that practitioners should equip themselves with tools to work with a variety of participants and the awareness of biases and values in practices in order to continually accommodate diverse populations in a socially-just manner.
Publishing in wireless and wireline environments

Publisher: name: Rutgers University
Year: 1994

description: Publishing is a spontaneous and periodic broadcasting of information by a server. This dissertation shows how publishing can be efficiently used in both low bandwidth wireless networks and high bandwidth wireline networks. The first part of this dissertation deals with publishing in wireless networks. The solutions that we propose for wireless environments are motivated by the two most important resource constraints in such environments: limited power at the clients and scarce network bandwidth. In a wireless environment it is crucial for the server to publish a directory along with the data. This enables battery powered clients to selectively download only relevant pieces of data, thereby saving significant power. However, publishing a directory leaves less bandwidth for the data itself. Thus, there is a need for efficient multiplexing of the directory along with the data in order to remove as little bandwidth as possible and simultaneously offer efficient solutions for power conservation at the clients. Such techniques are provided in this dissertation for both primary and secondary indexes. In addition, we also provide some hashing based solutions. This dissertation analytically demonstrates that the proposed techniques result in power and bandwidth conservation. Further on, we propose techniques for adaptive publishing when data items are accessed with different frequencies. Finally, we propose a general architecture for future wireless information systems. In wireline networks we focus on efficient utilization of network bandwidth. This dissertation proposes a new technique for providing key multimedia services like the Video On Demand service. It also provides analytical results demonstrating the benefits of this technique along with an implementation of its prototype on Ethernet LAN.

description: Background Optimal supportive end of life care for frail, older adults in long term care (LTC) homes involves symptom management, family participation, advance care plans, and organizational support. This 2-phase study aimed to combine multi-disciplinary opinions, build group consensus, and identify the top interventions needed to develop a supportive end of life care strategy for LTC. Methods A consensus-building approach was undertaken in 2 Phases. The first phase deployed modified Delphi questionnaires to address and transform diverse opinions into group consensus. The second phase explored and prioritized the interventions needed to develop a supportive end of life care strategy for LTC. Development of the Delphi questionnaire was based on findings from published results of physician perspectives of barriers and facilitators to optimal supportive end of life care in LTC, a literature search of palliative care models in LTC, and published results of patient, family and nursing perspectives of supportive end of life care in long term care. The second phase involved World Café Style workshop discussions. A multi-disciplinary purposive sample of individuals inclusive of physicians; staff, administrators, residents, family members, and content experts in palliative care, and researchers in geriatrics and gerontology participated in round one of the modified Delphi questionnaire. A second purposive sample derived from round one participants completed the second round of the modified Delphi questionnaire. A third purposive sample (including participants from the Delphi panel) then convened to identify the top priorities needed to develop a supportive end-of-life care strategy for LTC. Results 19 participants rated 75 statements on a 9-point Likert scale during the first round of the modified Delphi questionnaire. 11 participants (participation rate 58 %) completed the second round of the modified Delphi questionnaire and reached consensus on the inclusion of 71candidate statements. 35 multidisciplinary participants discussed the 71 statements remaining and prioritized the top clinical practice, communication, and policy interventions needed to develop a supportive end of life strategy for LTC. Conclusions Multi-disciplinary stakeholders identified and prioritized the top interventions needed to develop a 5-point supportive end of life care strategy for LTC.
Spectral analysis of heat flux across a nanostructured solid diamond-liquid water interface: a nonequilibrium molecular dynamics study

description: There is a pressing demand for effective cooling techniques in high heat flux devices. Two potential cooling solutions, namely capped diamond heat spreader and micro/nanofluidic cooling, show promise in high-power density electronics. This study aims to improve the interfacial thermal conductance and heat transfer between a solid diamond and the liquid water phase. To this end, the study employs a nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulation, specifically focusing on the analysis of spectral heat flux during the interaction between water molecules and surface-patterned diamond. A nanochannel with varying depths and widths at the diamond surface was constructed, and symmetric boundary conditions were applied. High overlap in the vibrational spectrum is achieved using Tersoff potential and SPC/F water model. It was found that a nanochannel with smaller width and greater depth could increase the total heat flux transferred across the solid–liquid interface and not affect the shape of heat flux spectra. A nanochannel that is narrower and deeper has the ability to enhance the possibility of collisions between the water molecules and the diamond channel walls, resulting heat exchange augmentation.
Nearshore modelling of longshore sediment transport in the application to climate change studies at Ninety Mile beach, Australia
Creators: name: O’Grady, Julian George
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Understanding changes in the shoreline is important information used to support the planning of coastal mitigation, particularly under the influence of anthropogenic climate change. It is shown that Lakes Entrance, a township located at the northern end of Ninety Mile Beach in south-eastern Australia, is situated in a region that may experience noticeable future changes in longshore winds, waves and currents, which could alter the supply of sediments to the shoreline. Global Climate Model simulations are downscaled with a basic empirical equation and a comprehensive coastal-area numerical model to investigate the longshore transport climate of a high greenhouse gas future.

description: Scheduling disciplines have traditionally been specified in terms of queues and algorithms for routing jobs between the queues. Alternatively, a discipline may be formally defined by a policy function, a function of job and system parameters. A policy function scheduler is a parameterized scheduler that - when supplied with a specific policy function - behaves like the specified discipline. The formal definition allows performance measures of a discipline (e.g., the response function) to be expressed in terms of the defining policy function. We review the principles of formal definitions, summarize previous queuing-theoretical results concerning response functions of policy function schedulers, and extend them to multiple preemptive job classes with processor-sharing subclasses. For a large variety of disciplines and job classes, we also express the policy functions in terms of the resulting response functions. Given a desired realizable performance goal, this relation serves to determine the discipline that achieves it. Policy function schedulers with their explicit relation between policy and response functions, which we plot for several different job characteristics, thus offer increased precision in controlling the performance of a computer system.

Incremental analysis of MOD problem for C

Publisher: name: Rutgers University
Year: 1995

description: Incremental data flow analysis seeks to efficiently and precisely update data flow information after source code changes, based on the knowledge of the former solution and the changes, without re-computation from scratch. Inter- procedural modification side effect analysis (i.e., MOD) finds the set of variables modified by execution of a statement. Computing MOD information for a language with general purpose pointers, like C, is very complicated and costly. We study the applicability of the hybrid algorithm to incrementalize PMOD - a subproblem of the MOD problem for C. We also show how to update data flow information when non-structural or structural changes are made to the flow graph.

A survey of interprocedural data flow analysis techniques
Creators: name: Ryder, Barbara G.
Publisher: name: Rutgers University
Year: 1979

description: This technical report surveys recent work in the area of interprocedural data flow analysis. We summarize previous work in the area, present the programming language models used and categorize the "goodness" of the solutions of each method. In this paper we assume the reader is familiar with recursive, procedural languages (e.g., ALGOL) and classical data flow analysis algorithms and problems (e.g., finding def-to-use chains using interval analysis or the general iterative algorithm). First, we discuss the basic language model used by the majority of the methods. Second, we consider the data flow problems tackled and describe their characteristics; we also give short descriptions of the interval analysis and general iterative algorithms. Third, we present each method in terms of its major goal, language model restrictions, data flow problems addressed, alias handling and strengths and/or weaknesses. Fourth, we discuss open questions in the area.

description: Hypertension (HTN) is common among athletes and the most recent epidemiologic data reports that cardiovascular (CV) sudden death is significantly greater in African Americans (AAs). Gut microbial dysbiosis (a poorly diverse stool microbial profile) has been associated with HTN in sedentary people but microbial characteristics of athletes with HTN are unknown. Our purpose was to differentiate microbiome characteristics associated with BP status in AA collegiate athletes. Thirty AA collegiate athletes were stratified by normal BP (systolic BP (SBP) ≤130 mmHg; n = 15) and HTN (SBP ≥130 mmHg; n = 15). 16S rRNA gene sequencing was performed on stool samples to identify microbes at the genus level. We did not observe any significant differences in alpha diversity, but beta diversity was different between groups. Principal coordinate analysis was significantly different (PERMANOVA, p < 0.05, R = 0.235) between groups. Spearman rank correlations showed a significant (p < 0.05) correlation between systolic BP and abundances for Adlercreutzia (R = 0.64), Coprococcus (R = 0.49), Granulicatella (R = 0.63), and Veillonella (R = 0.41). Gut microbial characteristics were associated with differentially abundant microbial genus' and BP status. These results will direct future studies to define the functions of these microbes associated with BP in athletes.

description: Background Several studies have reported inadequate levels of quality of care in the Ethiopian health system. Facility characteristics associated with better quality remain unclear. Understanding associations between patient volumes and quality of care could help organize service delivery and potentially improve patient outcomes. Methods Using data from the routine health management information system (HMIS) and the 2014 Ethiopian Service Provision Assessment survey + we assessed associations between daily total outpatient volumes and quality of services. Quality of care at the facility level was estimated as the average of five measures of provider knowledge (clinical vignettes on malaria and tuberculosis) and competence (observations of family planning, antenatal care and sick child care consultations). We used linear regression models adjusted for several facility-level confounders and region fixed effects with log-transformed patient volume fitted as a linear spline. We repeated analyses for the association between volume of antenatal care visits and quality. Results Our analysis included 424 facilities including 270 health centers, 45 primary hospitals and 109 general hospitals in Ethiopia. Quality was low across all facilities ranging from only 18 to 56% with a mean score of 38%. Outpatient volume varied from less than one patient per day to 581. We found a small but statistically significant association between volume and quality which appeared non-linear, with an inverted U-shape. Among facilities seeing less than 90.6 outpatients per day, quality increased with greater patient volumes. Among facilities seeing 90.6 or more outpatients per day, quality decreased with greater patient volumes. We found a similar association between volume and quality of antenatal care visits. Conclusions Health care utilization and quality must be improved throughout the health system in Ethiopia. Our results are suggestive of a potential U-shape association between volume and quality of primary care services. Understanding the links between volume of patients and quality of care may provide insights for organizing service delivery in Ethiopia and similar contexts.

Propagation through numerical mesh refinement for hyperbolic equations
Creators: name: Vichnevetsky, Robert
Publisher: name: Rutgers University
Year: 1981

description: We analyze in this paper spurious reflection phenomena that occur at the interface between coarse and fine mesh in the numerical approximation of hyperbolic equations with finite difference method. The principal tool used is a description of propagation properties of numerical solutions by means of their time - Fourier transforms - The corresponding mathematics are given in the companion paper with which the reader should be familiar. In section 4, an exact analytic expression of reflection at the interface for the "standard" finite difference treatment is derived. It is given as an integral in the frequency domain, where a reflection ratio function is defined. In section 3, it is shown that the standard finite difference treatment of the interface point results in conversation of the energy of the numerical solution - Thus (section 7), the analytic expression of reflection is shown to be also that which ensures continuity of energy flows through the mesh interface. In section 8, we show that the global convergence rate is (0(h2) in spite of the fact that the truncation error at the interface point is only 0 (h). In section 9, we examine in the same vein a modified treatment of the interface that was first proposed in a paper by Browning, Kreiss and Oliger. While the amplitude of reflected solutions for this modified scheme converge to zero as 0(k3), the global accuracy of the calculation is 0(h2)as in the standard case.

description: As businesses experience greater pressures from a variety of stakeholders concerned with promoting a balanced approach to managing the competing demands for increased profitability, improved social conditions, and restoring the health of planet earth, new opportunities arise for HRM scholars and professionals to contribute to the pursuit of sustainability. However, the foundational logic of sustainability diverges significantly from the dominant perspective in today's business environment. Building upon the institutional theory literature, we introduce the concept of HRM institutional entrepreneurship to examine the paradoxes and emerging opportunities associated with the urgent need for more sustainable approaches for managing business organizations. As a guide to future work, we describe how the actions of HRM scholars and professionals can timulate evolution from an HRM philosophy that relies on financial indicators to assess effectiveness towards an HRM philosophy that promotes a tripartite approach to sustainability, showing equal concern for economic, environmental and social performance. Focusing on organizational changes that improve environmental performance, we apply the concept of HRM institutional entrepreneurship to consider ways for HRM professionals to engage internal and external stakeholders in order to create value in organizations pursuing sustainability. Ultimately, activities that constitute HRM institutional entrepreneurship for sustainable business drive the development of capabilities that characterize ambidextrous organizations.

description: Background Care guidelines for people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) recommend an integrated approach for holistic, flexible, and tailored interventions. Continuity of care is also emphasised. However, many patients with COPD experience fragmented care. Discontinuities in healthcare and related social services are likely to result in disjointed rather than integrated care which can negatively affect patient health outcomes. The purpose of this qualitative study was to improve our understanding of, and how, contextual features pertaining to structures and processes of COPD integrated care influence delivery of care within patients’ healthcare networks. Methods We conducted individual interviews with 28 participants (9 patients, 16 healthcare professionals, and 3 spousal caregivers). Participants were recruited through the lung clinic at a city hospital in western Canada. We employed a social network paradigm to analyse and interpret the data. Results The analysis revealed an overarching theme of fragmented COPD care with two sub-themes: (1) Funding shortfalls and availability of resources, and (2) Dis(mis)connected communication pathways. The overarching theme depicts variations, delays, and discontinuities in patient care. The sub-themes describe how macro level influences and meso level shortfalls were perceived to influence the availability of respiratory care resources that contributed to fragmented COPD care. Conclusions Employing a social network lens drew particular attention to family physicians’ pivotal role in delivering community-based COPD care. While an integrated approach to care is recommended by care guidelines, institutional and organizational structures and processes, such as financial and communication structures, may inhibit delivery of integrated care. Thus, macro and meso level structures and processes have the potential to shape patient care by constraining family physicians’ purposive and communication actions necessary for facilitating an integrated distributed approach to care. We propose a context of care which fosters a context for family physicians’ delivery of patient-centered care. Integrated care delivery may improve patients’ wellbeing and alleviate financial constraints on the healthcare system.

 Periclimenes hongkongensis Bruce, 1969: 259, 277 (key). — Bruce 1982b: 234 (list), 247, 264–264 (discussed), 276 (list), 278 (list), 280 (key), Figs. 8 –10. — Chace & Bruce 1993: 57. — Li et al. 2004: 514 (list), 545.
 Material. Holotype female cl 2.6 mm, RMNH D.33227.
 Remarks. The holotype specimen examined is in a good condition, despite lacking both second and fifth pereiopods. The lower orbital margin is anteriorly produced, with an angulate tip and medial and ventral flanges. The third maxilliped bears 3–4 spinules distally on the ischiomerus, not mentioned in previous descriptions (Bruce 1969, 1982b). The third and fourth ambulatory legs have a well-developed grasping dactylo-propodal armament; the propodus is slightly concave dorsally and deepest subdistally, with 2–3 pairs of long distoventral spines and 2–3 single spines proximally along the ventral border. This prehensile structure is similar to that of P. granulimanus or P. laevimanus sp. nov., but the dactyl is biunguiculate.
 Periclimenes hongkongensis is regarded (Bruce 1987; Berggren 1994) as a member of the P. obscurus Kemp, 1922 species group.
 Color. Whitish opaque, with red chromatophores (for details see Berggren 1994: 792).
 Host. The type specimens were caught by trawl, in apparent association with a holothurian, Aphelodactyla andamanensis (Bell) (Bruce 1969); no host is reported for the subsequent record of a single specimen from China (Li et al. 2004).
 Distribution. South China Sea: Rocky Harbour, Hong Kong (type locality); Beibu Bay, off Hepu, Guangxi Province, China.

description: This paper describes an empirical study of the SPECjvm98 benchmarks, using the Jalape~no virtual machine. The study employs two compilers, a nonoptimizing compiler that is initially used to compile all application methods, and an optimizing compiler that is selectively used to recompile a parameterized set of hot methods based on past proling. We view this study as a step in examining the feasibility of adaptive optimization in this environment. The results show promise for adaptive optimization. In particular, they show that the combined time (execution and compilation) of selective opt-compilation can be less than the execution time of no opt-compilation and the combined time of full opt-compilation. The results also show that the combined time of selective opt-compilation can be competitive with static compilation (full opt-compilation not counting compilation time) for the SPECjvm98 benchmarks with input size 100.

description: Information intermediaries collect, organize, and distribute information to their clients. This study examines three institutional forms of information intermediary: the for-profit firm, the nonprofit organization, and the government agency. Using results from the economics and information science literature, five tests are proposed that characterize particular information markets. For a given information market, these characteristics determine the institutional form of information intermediary that will maximize the total social and private benefit from information consumption. Although many kinds of information can be effectively delivered by for-profit information intermediaries, socially beneficial information often requires subsidized provision from government or nonprofit intermediaries in order to encourage consumption up to socially optimal levels. Applications to current topics in information distribution are also discussed.

description: BACKGROUND: Gastric cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the world. The identification of gastric cancer subtypes related to recognizable microbial agents may play a pivotal role in the targeted prevention and treatment of this cancer. The current study is conducted to define the frequency of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection in gastric cancers of four major provinces, with different incidence rates of gastric cancers, in Iran.
METHODS: Paraffin blocks of 682 cases of various types of gastric cancer from Tehran, South and North areas of Iran were collected. Twelve tissue microarray (TMA) blocks were constructed from these blocks. Localization of EBV in tumors was assessed by in situ hybridization (ISH) for EBV-encoded RNA (EBER). Chi-squared test was used to evaluate the statistical significance between EBV-associated gastric cancer (EBVaGC) and clinicopathologic tumor characteristics.
RESULTS: Fourteen out of 682 cases (2.1%) of gastric adenocarcinoma were EBER-positive. EBER was positive in 8 out of 22 (36.4%) of medullary carcinomas and 6 out of 660 (0.9%) of non-medullary type, which was a statistically significant difference (P<0.001). The EBVaGCs were more frequent in younger age (P=0.009) and also showed a trend toward the lower stage of the tumor (P=0.075).
CONCLUSION: EBV-associated gastric adenocarcinoma has a low prevalence in Iran. This finding can be due to epidemiologic differences in risk factors and exposures, and the low number of gastric medullary carcinomas in the population. It may also be related to gastric tumor heterogeneity not detected with the TMA technique.

description: We microencapsulated the n-Octadecane (ODE) with titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticle-doped styrene–divinylbenzene copolymer (SDB) via the suspension polymerization. The TiO2 was grafted with 3-Glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (KH560) to obtain amphiphilic properties in order to enhance their anchoring capability at the oil-aqueous interface. Emphasis is placed on analyzing how the TiO2 nanoparticles affect the multiple functions of the prepared microcapsules for heat storage, photothermal conversion, and photodegradation. Under scanning electron microscope, the microcapsules show generally spherical shapes with rough surface and good dispersibility. The thermophysical property of the microcapsules was examined via the differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analyzer. The microcapsules prepared with 4.0 wt% TiO2 had the highest thermal storage capacity with molten and crystallized enthalpies of 105.3 ± 0.3 and 102.4 ± 0.7 J/g, respectively. The microcapsules with 4.0 wt% TiO2 achieved 48.0 ± 0.4% encapsulation. The doped-TiO2 nanoparticles improved the thermal stability of microcapsule samples. The initial decomposition temperature of the microcapsule sample with 4.0 wt% TiO2 is increased to 167.6 °C as compared to 115.1 °C for pure ODE. In the solar thermal conversion and photocatalytic tests, the microcapsule sample with 4.0 wt% TiO2 exhibited the best performance as well, with 42.80% photothermal conversion efficiency and 90.92% degradation rate. The multifunctional phase change microcapsules have broad application prospects as heat storage and depollution materials.

description: Advances in technology miniaturization with increasing power density call for new technologies for enhancing heat transfer. Enhancement of heat transfer with use of nanofluids has been a hectic topic of research and development since the term “nanofluid” named in 1995, mainly because the thermophysical properties of nanofluids in most reports in the literature showed supremacy or improvement over their base fluids that may not allow the fulfilment of the present cutting-edge technology needs. Significant progress in this field has been made in the past two decades. This review summarizes a variety of the experimentally-measured thermal properties of common nanofluids, the enhancement mechanisms discovered or hypothesised, the models used for properties and heat transfer characteristics, and the applications of nanofluids for enhancing heat transfer. The model of artificial neutral network is particularly emphasized. Applications to cooling technology, renewable energy and energy systems, and building technology are detailed. Challenges and areas for future research are identified.

description: Background Kidney biopsy registries all over the world benefit research, teaching and health policy. Comparison, aggregation and exchange of data is however greatly dependent on how registration and coding of kidney biopsy diagnoses are performed. This paper gives an overview over kidney biopsy registries, explores how these registries code kidney disease and identifies needs for improvement of coding practice. Methods A literature search was undertaken to identify biopsy registries for medical kidney diseases. These data were supplemented with information from personal contacts and from registry websites. A questionnaire was sent to all identified registries, investigating age of registries, scope, method of coding, possible mapping to international terminologies as well as self-reported problems and suggestions for improvement. Results Sixteen regional or national kidney biopsy registries were identified, of which 11 were older than 10 years. Most registries were located either in Europe (10/16) or in Asia (4/16). Registries most often use a proprietary coding system (12/16). Only a few of these coding systems were mapped to SNOMED CT (1), older SNOMED versions (2) or ERA-EDTA PRD (3). Lack of maintenance and updates of the coding system was the most commonly reported problem. Conclusions There were large gaps in the global coverage of kidney biopsy registries. Limited use of international coding systems among existing registries hampers interoperability and exchange of data. The study underlines that the use of a common and uniform coding system is necessary to fully realize the potential of kidney biopsy registries.

Multi scale investigation of post-erosion mechanical behaviour of granular material
Creators: name: Mehdizadeh, Amirhassan
Publisher: name: Swinburne

description: Internal erosion is believed to be the main reason of approximately 50 per cent of embankment dam failures. Several studies have already been conducted on different aspects of internal erosion. However, only a few attempts, with considerable discrepancies in results, have been carried out to investigate the post-erosion behaviour. In fact, variation of soil strength and stiffness due to progressive internal erosion is not well understood. This research includes investigation of mechanical behaviour of an internally unstable cohesionless soil during internal erosion and post-erosion response under monotonic and cyclic loadings using a newly developed erosion-triaxial apparatus and 3-dimensional X-ray tomography.
