A Case Study of Digital Twin for Greenhouse Horticulture Production Flow

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Greenhouse horticulture production is associated with high uncertainty and a long learning process due to its high dependency on the outdoor & indoor environment and plant types. Digital Twin (DT) technology enables a faster understanding of greenhouse horticulture facilities, obtaining insight into the production process flow and investigating the consequences of production decisions. However, no digital twin has been developed in this field due to the complexity of greenhouse production. Therefore, this paper presents a case study of a DT development for a Danish greenhouse production flow using multi-method modeling and multi-agent simulation. The results show that the developed DT can accurately represent the greenhouse production process and estimate the plant growth state with an absolute error of 0.31 days compared to the observed production. Furthermore, the developed DT can accurately predict deviations to the plant growth state corresponding to previously observed behavior at the facility. To capture the greenhouse production process flow at the top-level greenhouse DT agent, the underlying physical agents developed included: compartments, growth climate, conveyors, staff, tables, plants, soil machine, table loading, and packing station as well as the packing station. Lastly, the developed DT method supports agent re-usability for other case studies.
Tracheal Stenting has Minimal Impact on Survival in Anaplastic Thyroid Carcinoma

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Background Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) is the most aggressive form of thyroid cancer and it has an extremely poor prognosis. Rapid airway compromise is the main cause of death in patients with ATC. Methods The present study is based on a retrospective review of clinical data of patients with ATC treated over the last decade in a tertiary referral center. Results Between January 1998 and December 2010, 31 patients (13 males: 18 females) with a mean age of 74 years (range: 54–90 years) had a diagnosis of ATC made on fine‐needle aspiration ( n = 29) or biopsy ( n = 2). Eight patients underwent total thyroidectomy and lymph node dissection, and five patients had attempted surgery but the procedure was abandoned because of inoperability. Airway compromise was clinically apparent in 11 patients. Five patients had tracheal stents inserted, with a median survival of 2 months (range: 1–36 months). In the whole cohort, 29 patients died of the disease, with a mean survival of 7 months (range: 1–36 months). Conclusions Survival of patients with undifferentiated thyroid cancer is severely compromised by airway obstruction. Palliation with tracheal stenting can rescue catastrophic airway obstruction but offers minimal survival benefit.
High-Frequency Price Dynamics for Continuously Produced Commodities in a Two-Factor Storage Economy: Implications for Derivatives Pricing

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

Many important commodities are produced and consumed continuously and exhibit little seasonality in demand. These include the industrial metals (such as copper and lead) and some important energy products (such as crude oil). These products are important (representing a large fraction of total traded commodity production, value, and trading volume). Moreover, it is easiest to analyze the high-frequency price behavior of these commodities in the structural storage model framework because the continuous nature of product and non-seasonality of demand makes it reasonable to impose time homogeneity, which makes numerical solution simpler; it is not reasonable to impose such homogeneity for seasonally produced commodities, such as corn. Therefore, considerations of importance and tractability make it desirable to focus initially on continuously produced commodities. These will be the subject of the next three chapters.
Economic Resources, Financial Aid and Remittances

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

According to the World Bank, in 2017, an estimated 450 billion US dollars in remittances were sent to Low and Middle Income Countries. This means that the sum of remittances is more than three times larger than the sum of the world's total official aid to the same countries. The practice of sending remittances can be seen as one specific thing that migrants do as part of sustaining ties with their countries of origin. Remittances can be personal gifts, but are often sent in order to support family members and friends in their country of origin living under more difficult economic conditions. Remittances may also be a form of investment or repayments of loans. In this study we use data from the latest Swedish level of living survey LNU-UFB to study the factors influencing the propensity to remit.Using probit estimations, we find that the economic situation of the migrant, demographic variables and the migrants' ties to the home country are important. The propensity to remit also varies by country of origin. With an increasing number of migrants, the propensity to remit will have growing policy implications. It will have implications for Sweden as a donor country, raising issues of complementarity between remittances and official development aid. Migrants' propensity to remit will also be increasingly relevant for Sweden's integration policies, as the motives to remit might shape immigrants' decisions and priorities while settling in Sweden.
TEMP2D: A simple thermo-kinematic model for rock exhumation in 2-D

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

TEMP2D is a set of MATLAB routines that can be used to calculate the temperature evolution of exhuming rocks in a ramp-flat geometry. The routines must all be placed in a common folder. These routines are: · TEMP2D_Calc.m · TEMP2D_PT_Path.m · TEMP2D_Cooling_Rates.m · function_plot_2d.m · plot_reactions.m and they can be run by typing their names in the MATLAB command window. Together with the previous functions, the file XY_reactions.mat datafile should be in the same folder. The main calculation is done in TEMP2D_Calc that obtains the temperature field using the finite-difference method in 2 dimensions. The code has been written in general form using functions that would allow the more transparent presentation of the results. Other main routines that can be used to plot the results are TEMP2D_PT_Path and TEMP2D_Cooling_Rates. More technical details follow below.

ANTIBIOTIC RELEASE FROM FLUORIDE-TIO2 NANOSTRUCTURED ANODIC LAYERS ON TI6AL4V ALLOY

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Introduction Prosthetic joint infections (PJI) occur infrequently, but due to its increased clinical use represent the most devastating complication with high morbidity and substantial cost. Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase-negative staphylococci are the most common infecting agents associated with PJI. A possible therapeutic approach could be the local antibiotic by fluoride-TiO2 nanostructured anodic layers in order to prevent surface colonisation during the early moments after surgery. Here we describe the first results of this model using two common antibiotics. Methods Fluoride-TiO2 nanostructured anodic layers on Ti6Al4V alloy were produced as described previously by Arenas et al (2013). Discs shaped pieces of Ti6Al4V alloy were loaded with a solution of 150 mg antibiotic (vancomycin or gentamicin)/20 ml sterile distilled water. Samples were immersed in this solution during 24 hours at room temperature with agitation, and then were dried during 48 hours at 20°C. Antibiotic release was studied by introducing both discs in sterile PBS and samples were taken at different times. Samples were then frozen at −80°C until HPLC measurements and biological activity tests using Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6051 (vancomycin) and Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 (gentamicin) were performed. Results Release kinetic constant was not be obtained by HPLC-UV due to chemical degradation, therefore it was needed to prove biological activity. According to biological activity test, vancomycin and gentamicin estimated concentration mean and standard deviation were 2.9±0.61 and 2.71±0.64 mg/L over time respectively. Conclusions Fluoride-TiO2 nanostructured anodic layers on Ti6Al4V alloy could be considered as promising vector of antibiotics for the prevention of PJI during early moments after surgery.

Association of Funding and Meal Preparation Time With Nutritional Quality of Meals of Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program Recipients

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

In this decision analytical model, meal preparation time was associated with the ability of SNAP recipient families to consume nutritious meals, suggesting that increased funding alone may be insufficient for improving the nutritional profiles of SNAP recipients. Given the current US food supply, governmental interventions that provide the equivalence in increased time availability to achieve nutritious meals may be needed.
Massive Blood Transfusion for Trauma Score to Predict Massive Blood Transfusion in Trauma

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Massive blood loss is the most common cause of immediate death in trauma. A massive blood transfusion (MBT) score is a prediction tool to activate blood banks to prepare blood products. The previously published scoring systems were mostly developed from settings that had mature prehospital systems which may lead to a failure to validate in settings with immature prehospital systems. This research aimed to develop a massive blood transfusion for trauma (MBTT) score that is able to predict MBT in settings that have immature prehospital care.This study was a retrospective cohort that collected data from trauma patients who met the trauma team activation criteria. The predicting parameters included in the analysis were retrieved from the history, physical examination, and initial laboratory results. The significant parameters from a multivariable analysis were used to develop a clinical scoring system. The discrimination was evaluated by the area under a receiver operating characteristic (AuROC) curve. The calibration was demonstrated with Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit, and an internal validation was done.Among 867 patients, 102 (11.8%) patients received MBT. Four factors were associated with MBT: a score of 3 for age ≥60 years; 2.5 for base excess ≤-10 mEq/L; 2 for lactate >4 mmol/L; and 1 for heart rate ≥105 /min. The AuROC was 0.85 (95% CI: 0.78-0.91). At the cut point of ≥4, the positive likelihood ratio of the score was 6.72 (95% CI: 4.7-9.6, p < 0.001), the sensitivity was 63.6%, and the specificity was 90.5%. Internal validation with bootstrap replications had an AuROC of 0.83 (95% CI: 0.75-0.91).The MBTT score has good discrimination to predict MBT with simple and rapidly obtainable parameters.

Recurrent Homography Estimation Using Homography-Guided Image Warping and Focus Transformer

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

We propose the Recurrent homography estimation framework using Homography-guided image Warping and Focus transformer (FocusFormer), named RHWF. Both being appropriately absorbed into the recurrent framework, the homography-guided image warping progressively enhances the feature consistency and the attention-focusing mechanism in FocusFormer aggregates the intra-inter correspondence in a global→nonlocal→local manner. Thanks to the above strategies, RHWF ranks top in accuracy on a variety of datasets, including the challenging cross-resolution and cross-modal ones. Meanwhile, benefiting from the recurrent framework, RHWF achieves parameter efficiency despite the transformer architecture. Compared to previous state-of-the-art approaches LocalTrans and IHN, RHWF reduces the mean average corner error (MACE) by about 70% and 38.1% on the MSCOCO dataset, while saving the parameter costs by 86.5% and 24.6%. Similar to the previous works, RHWF can also be arranged in 1-scale for efficiency and 2-scale for accuracy, with the 1-scale RHWF already outperforming most of the previous methods.

MAGBONS: Novel Magnetically Separable Carbonaceous Nanohybrids from Porous Polysaccharides

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Novel magnetically separable carbonaceous nanohybrids were prepared from porous starch by a direct multistep incorporation method. Materials denoted as MAGBON possessed an unprecedented magnetism at 450 °C and a somewhat similar structure to that of Starbon materials, with a contribution of CC, CO, and aromatic groups. Simple sulfonation of MAGBON450 provided access to sulfonated MAGBON materials with promising catalytic activities as shown in microwave‐assisted oxidations of benzyl alcohol and xylose dehydration to furfural.
The Experience of Older Adult Couples Living with Chronic Illness at Home: Through the Lens of Health as Expanding Consciousness

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

As the United States population ages, knowing and
understanding the older adult couple’s experience living with
chronic illness at home is significant to inform new strategies of
care, and planning of resources for the improvement in the health
and well-being for a potentially vulnerable population. The purpose
of this qualitative study was to better understand the older adult
couple’s experience while living with chronic illness at home by
answering the following research questions: What is the life
pattern manifested by an older adult couple living with chronic
illness at home? Are there common themes across the life patterns
of older adult couples living with chronic illness living at home?
The theoretical framework guiding this study was Margaret Newman’s
Health as Expanding Consciousness using a hermeneutic-dialectic
phenomenology method. The study’s sample consisted of 14 married
older adults (> 65 years of age) couples living together at
home. The research method explored the experiences of the older
adult couple through dialogue within the context of their social
environment in all its complexity. This approach gave voice to the
older adult couples’ experiences and their meaning from their
perspective, which facilitated insights about each older adult
couple as well as common themes across the older adult couples.
Three themes emerged from the study, (1) an unfolding pattern of
living meaningfully as an older adult couple with chronic illness
while moving through life transitions, (2) couple
interconnectedness strengthens the bonding within the older adult
couple and promotes self-growth, and (3) a resonating process
within the older adult couple promotes movement toward expanding
consciousness. Conceptual models are proposed. The findings suggest
older adult couples living with chronic illness at home strive to
live meaningfully while experiencing multiple life transitions
embedded in a resonating process that facilitates
change.
Effects fo Zinc Chemistry on Phytoextraction in Thlaspi caerulescens - Vermiculite System

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Zinc phytoextration capability of the hyperaccumulator is usually limited by zinc content in the soil. To investigate the effects of different zinc fractions (water-soluble, exchangeble, and non-exchangeble) on phytoextration of Thlaspi caerulescens from medium of vermculite, pot experiments were performed for various zinc application treatments (0～2000 mg kg[-1]). Relationships between zinc quantity accumulated in the plants and zinc content in the medium were investigated. Zinc content accumulated in the shoot of T. caerulescens increased and approached a constant value with zinc content in vermiculite. The analysis of zinc balance in vermiculite before and after the growth of T. caerulescens revealed that more than 40% of the zinc content accumulated by T. caerulescens in contributed by exchangeble zinc and that a high linear correlation exists between the zinc content in shoot of T. caerulescens and the initial exchangeble zinc in vermiculite. Moreover, 17.73-32.94% of the total zinc uptake by T. caerulescens was from non-exchangeble fraction. Thus, it was suggested that exchangeble zinc predominantly influenced the zinc uptake by plants and that T. caerulescens could contribute to the mobilization of non-labile zinc fraction in vermiculite.

A SHORT-TERM SOLID SORBENT DETERMINATION OF HYDRAZOIC ACID IN AIR

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

A sampling and analytical method for the measurement of hydrazoic acid (HN3) at the short-term ceiling limit was developed and validated under both laboratory and field conditions. The HN3 was collected on sodium hydroxide pretreated Orbo 52 silica gel tubes at a sampling flow rate of 1.0 L/min for 15 min. The samples were stored at room temperature until analyzed, and sample stability at 4 weeks was documented. The HN3 was desorbed with distilled water and the eluent was analyzed by high-pressure liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection (210 nm). The desorption efficiency of HN3 from the Orbo 52 tubes was determined to be 96% over the 15-min time-weighted average concentrations of 0.025, 0.1, and 1.0 ppm HN3. The method limit of detection was determined to be 0.01 ppm. The coefficient of variation of the combined sampling and analytical method was 8.7%. A 2% method bias and total method accuracy of ±19% were estimated. The field validation of the method occurred over the concentration ranges of <0.01 ppm to 0.37 ppm. Good agreement between field samples and spikes was documented. Humidities as high as 82% had no significant effect on sample recovery.
ADCP data Whittard Canyon 64PE453-53

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

This dataset covers ADCP data collected in Whittard Canyon at 2200 m water depth. THe 75 kHz ADCP was upward looking and deployed in Whittard to monitor daily to seasonal changes in current speed and acoustic backscatter. Challenging the highstand-dormant paradigm for land-detached submarine canyons (Heijnen et al.): Abstract: Sediment, nutrients, organic carbon and pollutants are funnelled down submarine canyons from continental shelves by sediment-laden flows called turbidity currents, which dominate particulate transfer to the deep sea. Post-glacial sea-level rise disconnected more than three quarters of the >9000 submarine canyons worldwide from their former river or long-shore drift sediment inputs. Existing models therefore assume that land-detached submarine canyons are dormant in the present-day; however, monitoring has focused on land-attached canyons and this paradigm remains untested. Here we present the most detailed field measurements yet of turbidity currents within a land-detached submarine canyon, documenting a remarkably similar frequency (6 yr-1) and speed (up to 5-8 ms-1) to those in large land-attached submarine canyons. Major triggers such as storms or earthquakes are not required; instead, seasonal variations in cross-shelf sediment transport explain temporal-clustering of flows, and why the storm season is surprisingly absent of turbidity currents. As >1000 other canyons have a similar configuration, we propose that contemporary deep-sea particulate transport via such land- detached canyons may have been dramatically under-estimated.
