A detailed alarm management report as a tool for the treatment of bad actors at a gas logistics plant

Field: Decision Sciences (Social Sciences)

BACKGROUND: The treatment of bad actors consists of analyzing the most triggered alarms at a plant, seeking to make modifications that provide workers with more efficient and safer operational conditions. The consideration of plant operators’ practical knowledge in these proposed changes is both an opportunity and a challenge, as specific conditions are required. OBJECTIVE: To present and discuss how an alarm management report (AMR) could support the treatment of bad actors by promoting structured debates on real work situations and its contribution in improving the solutions proposed by alarm management committees (AMCs). METHODS: Data from nine AMC meetings were gathered and parsed using qualitative content analysis to classify the kind of information that the AMC used to justify the proposed changes and how these changes were decided. RESULTS: More than 60% of the changes were justified by information provided by the AMRs, indicating broad application and adoption. However, our findings suggest that the structured debates addressed variability and emerging strategies and may consider entire subsystems instead of single alarms. CONCLUSION: The use of structured debates is feasible for the treatment of bad actors and is an appropriate option that includes operating experience feedback for alarm optimization in industrial facilities.

Synthesis of η4-1,3-diphosphacyclobutadiene(η5-1,2-dicarbaborane)rhodium complexes; crystal structures of the compounds [NEt4][Rh(η4-But2C2P2)(η5-C2B9H11)], [Rh{η4-But2C2P2Au(PPh3)}(η5-C2B9H11)], and [Rh{η4-But2C2P2Co-(CO)2(η4-C4Me4)}(η5-C2B9H11)]

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Treatment of a thf (tetrahydrofuran) solution of K[Rh(PPh3)2(η5-C2B9H11)] with ButCP, followed by addition of NEt4Cl, affords the salt [NEt4][Rh(η4-But2C2P2)(η5-C2B9H11)](3), the structure of which has been established by X-ray diffraction. Compound (3) reacts with [AuCl(PPh3)] and with [Co(CO)2(NCMe)(η4-C4Me4)][PF6] to afford, respectively, the complexes [Rh{η4-But2C2P2Au-(PPh3)}(η5-C2B9H11)](4) and [Rh{η4-But2C2P2Co(CO)2(η4-C4Me4)}(η5-C2B9H11)](5). The structures of the products (4) and (5) have also been determined by X-ray diffraction. In all three compounds the rhodium is η5 ligated by a nido-icosahedral C2B9H11 fragment, and by a 1,3-diphosphacyclobutadiene group. Within the latter the P–C distances are equal, and the four-membered CPCP rings are close to planar. In the compounds (4) and (5) a phosphorus atom in the η4-But2CP2 group co-ordinates to the Au(PPh3) and the Co(CO)2(η4-C4Me4) groups, respectively. The n.m.r. data (1H, 13C-{1H}, 11B-{1H}, and 31P-{1H}) are reported, and where appropriate discussed.
1916. Evaluation of nasal swab collection methods on a university campus during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Abstract Background Characterizing SARS-CoV-2 outbreaks on university campuses is critical for informed public health measures and understanding transmission dynamics. Figure 1.Dropbox and Kiosk Samples Collected September 10, 2021 to April 23, 2022. Methods Faculty, staff, and students at a major public university in Seattle, WA, USA were enrolled in a COVID-19 testing study. Individuals could test using observed self-swabs at on-campus kiosks or unobserved self-swabs using a kit and returning it to a dropbox on campus. Sample collection volume for observed self-swabs was limited by staffing and space. All samples were returned to the laboratory and tested for SARS-CoV-2 by qRT-PCR. Results From September 10, 2021 to April 23, 2022, 38,400 individuals were enrolled in the study. Of these individuals, 5,089 used dropboxes only, 14,421 used kiosks only, and 5,820 used both. A total of 21,653 dropbox swabs and 75,493 observed self-swabs were collected. Median age was similar between individuals using dropboxes and observed self-swabs (20 vs. 22 years). A greater proportion of dropbox users were students compared to faculty and staff (students made up 83% of dropbox only population, 75% of kiosk only, and 86% of both, χ² p-value&lt; 0.0001). Symptom data was reported for 65,349 swabs. Dropbox users were less likely to have symptoms compared to observed self-swab users (24% of swabs vs. 54%, χ² p-value&lt; 0.0001). SARS-CoV-2 positivity was slightly lower for dropboxes compared to kiosks (4% vs. 5%; p=0.001). Dropboxes were highly utilized during periods of increased testing demand, including after academic breaks and variant emergence (Figure 1). Of the total tests distributed for use, a greater proportion of dropbox kits were unable to be resulted (6%) compared to observed self-swab kits (0.02%). Conclusion Dropboxes provided a flexible, high-volume collection method at times of increased testing demand. Individuals who used dropboxes were less likely to report symptoms and slightly less likely to test positive, suggesting a role for dropbox utilization in high-risk asymptomatic individuals during periods of high community transmission on a university campus.

Influence of Alley Crop Environment on Orchardgrass and Tall Fescue Herbage

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The design of agroforestry systems requires a thorough understanding of biological interactions that might complement or constrain production. The objective of this study was to examine effects of alley crop environment on persistence, herbage yield, nutritive value, and gas exchange (CO 2 exchange rate, transpiration, and stomatal conductance) of two shade‐tolerant herbage grasses. The experiment was conducted for 3 yr in orchardgrass ( Dactylis glomerata L.), tall fescue ( Festuca arundinacea Schreb.), and a 1:1 binary mixture (tall fescue and orchardgrass) in 4.9‐m‐wide alleys of 10‐yr‐old loblolly pine ( Pinus taeda L.) and shortleaf pine ( P. echinata Mill.), and the unshaded control at Booneville, AR. Loblolly pine was 1.5 m taller and had twice the canopy cover as shortleaf pine (52 and 25% canopy cover, respectively). Averaged across harvests, orchardgrass persisted better in loblolly pine alleys (72% stand) than in the control (44% stand) while tall fescue persisted better in the control (30% stand) than in loblolly pine (13% stand). Persistence in shortleaf pine alleys was intermediate for both herbage treatments. Yields of orchardgrass and the binary mixture did not differ in pine alleys (1300 kg ha −1 ) and were usually greater than tall fescue yields (≤700 kg ha −1 ). Crude protein was higher in loblolly pine alleys (172 g kg −1 ) than in the control (141 g kg −1 ). Gas exchange parameters were similar for tall fescue and orchardgrass across a range of volumetric soil moisture (15–30%), indicating little difference in drought response. Producers should consider using orchardgrass monocultures or binary mixtures with tall fescue for pine alleys in the midsouth USA.
[Craniopharyngioma in adults].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Initial signs of a craniopharyngioma in a 58 years old woman were a decrease in visual acuity and suppression of the pupillary light reflex. Perimetric signs were: left: central scotoma with an inferior temporal defect of the peripheral field; right: superior temporal field defect. The CT scan showed an intrasellar tumor, extending into the suprasellar region, isodensity of the tumor being the main finding. The radiological diagnosis was adenoma, but all the perimetric defects disappeared spontaneously, and the post-operative diagnosis was craniopharyngioma. Variations of the visual field defect are one of the most typical signs of craniopharyngioma, and absence of calcification, with isodensity of the tumor on the CT scan may lead to a mistaken.
Effects of Salt Restraint on Lycium barbarum L. in Primary Saline-alkali Soil

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The soluble salt content and different salt ions content of soil were determined in an orchard cultivated Lycium barbarum L.,established on primary saline-alkali soil in Gansu.The soluble salt content in 10-100cm depth soil layer decreased around root of Lycium barbarum L.,especially in 20-40cm soil layer.Cultivating Lycium barbarum L.impacted on salt ions in 0-100cm depth soil layer differently.Of all salt ions,K+,Na+ and Cl-content decreased,Mg2+ content increased,while Ca2+ and SO2-4 had little changes.So it is considered that planting Lycium barbarum L.in original saline-alkali soil decreased the soluble salt content from attribution of decreased univalent ions.
Dynamics of a Polymer Solution in a Rigid Matrix

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

We report dynamic light scattering measurements of solutions of a low molecular weight polymer (dextran Mw = 70 000), both in the free state and inside agarose hydrogels of varying concentrations. The light scattered from the rigid agarose matrix strongly heterodynes the signal from the mobile component, thereby allowing measurements both of the diffusion coefficient Dc and of the Rayleigh ratio Rθ of the dextran. For dextran concentrations c less than or equal to the overlap concentration c*, Dc decreases as the concentration of the gel matrix cg increases. The product DcRθ, which depends only on hydrodynamic factors, is, however, independent of the agarose concentration. It is concluded that the principal influence of the static gel matrix is to reduce the entropy and hence the osmotic pressure of the dextran solution. For concentrations of dextran greater than c*, the gel structure undergoes a phase separation.
Data Files from "CWB Free-Field Strong-Motion Data from the 21 September Chi-Chi, Taiwan, Earthquake"

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

The Central Weather Bureau (CWB) of Taiwan completed a deployment of 1200 modern digital strong-motion instruments in 1996 at free-field sites and in buildings and bridges. Consequently, a very extensive set of strong-motion records were obtained for the M W = 7.6 Chi-Chi earthquake in 1999, including over 60 near-field records within 20 km of the fault ruptures.

For documentation purposes, we included all relevant data files on the attached CD-ROM from our article, “CWB Free-Field Strong-Motion Data from the 21 September Chi-Chi, Taiwan, Earthquake” in this issue. We presented the data in four different ways to make the data more user friendly: (1) the original recorded data by accelerograph type; (2) the processed data in ASCII text format; (3) the processed data in SUDS format; and (4) the processed …
Stable Carbon Isotope Evidence for Atmospheric CO(inf2) Uptake by Cyanobacterial Surface Scums in a Eutrophic Lake

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

The carbon isotope composition of photosynthetic organisms reflects the (delta)(sup13)C of their inorganic carbon sources. The large difference between (delta)(sup13)C in cyanobacterial surface scums (-25 to -18(permil)) and subsurface blooms (-34 to -30(permil)) in a subarctic lake indicates direct atmospheric CO(inf2) fixation by the scums.
Standards and methods of hazard assessment for mass-movements in Great Britain

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

With less extreme topography and limited tectonic activity, Great Britain experiences a
different landslide regime than countries in many other parts of the world e.g. Italy and
France. Glacial modification of the landscape during the Pleistocene, followed by severe
periglacial conditions have led to the presence of high numbers of ancient or relict landslides.
Debris flows and rock falls common to higher relief areas of Europe occur but are less likely
to interfere with development and population centres. Despite the often subdued nature of
landslides in Great Britain, numerous high profile events in recent years have highlighted the
continued need to produce useable, applied landslide information. The British Geological
Survey has developed a national landslide susceptibility map which can be used to highlight
potential areas of instability. It has been possible to create the national susceptibility map
(GeoSure) because of the existence of vast data archives collected by the survey such as the
National Landslide Database, National Geotechnical Database and digital geological maps.
This susceptibility map has been extensively used by the insurance industry and has also
been adopted for a number of externally funded projects targeting specific problems.
Dispersing into the ether: a discourse on how the Ugandan government banished the LRA to the shadow realm

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

When Yoweri Museveni took power in Uganda in 1986, the NRM administration was faced with a press of problems. Of the plethora of insurgencies that emerged, the LRA perdured staging a virulent guerrilla campaign. Its leader, Joseph Kony, has long been one of Africa’s notorious warlords. For over three decades, his group has struck terror. Today, Kony’s firm grip on the rebellion is loosening. Recent defectors have suggested that he no longer enjoys absolute control. Short of declaring the end of the LRA menace, this article establishes that the prospects of this group overthrowing Museveni from distant bases in the remotest Kafia Kingi enclave in western South Sudan, where they collect and sell honey and alluvial gold, are unfeasible. What led to this outcome in the Ugandan civil war? Inasmuch as the government’s counterinsurgency efforts were focused on the pacification of Acholiland through population concentration; and, elimination and containment approaches of the LRA; Museveni also managed to build a network of regional and international coalitions. This strategy isolated the LRA and allowed for overt military interventions in Southern Sudan, DRC, and CAR. It is the meld of these strategies which combined to expel the LRA from Uganda.
North American fine mass integrated data set

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Two long term North American fine particle ({lt}2.5 micrometers) data sets were created by integrating data from 18 historical and active monitoring networks supplied by eight different organizations. One data set consists of PM{sub 2.5} mass and the other data set consists of PM{sub 2.5} mass and its elemental composition, organic and elemental carbon, ions, and light absorption for {approximately}600 urban and rural monitoring sites in the US and Canada from 1979 through February 1997. Data processing involved reformatting the data into a common format and units with uniform geographic and temporal coding, and creating a consistent set of data flags. A consistent set of metadata describing the networks variables, sampling sites, samplers and analysis methods was also added. Subsequently, the data were merged into a single database. No modifications were made to the data values beyond unit conversions. Data used in the integrated data sets came from the following networks: IMPROVE, NESCAUM, GAViM, SCENES, CARB, NAPS, AIRS, MOHAVE, PREVENT, WHITEX, Nation Park Service's SFU, CASTNet, National PM Research Monitoring Network, Tennessee Valley Authority, and two specialty studies in Philadelphia. The integrated data sets are made publicly available via the world wide web.
Association Between Obesity/Overweight and Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders in Children

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

ABSTRACT Objective: Although emerging data indicate that obese/overweight children are more likely to develop functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) than normal‐weight peers, contrasting results have been reported. The present observational, case‐control study aimed at estimating the prevalence of FGIDs in obese/overweight children compared to normal‐weight peers. Methods: Consecutive obese and overweight children aged 4 to 18 years attending the obesity outpatient clinic were enrolled as study cases. Normal‐weight children were enrolled as comparison group. All the enrolled patients received a thorough health examination from both a pediatric endocrinologist and gastroenterologist. Moreover, they were asked to fill out the Rome III questionnaire for the diagnosis of FGIDs. Data were analyzed to compare the prevalence of FGIDs between cases and controls. Results: Throughout the study period we enrolled 103 cases and 115 controls. No significant age and sex differences were found between the 2 groups. FGIDs were significantly more prevalent in obese/overweight compared to normal‐weight children (47.57% vs 17.39%; P < 0.0001). Increased prevalence was observed for functional constipation (18.44% vs 7.82%; P = 0.025), functional dyspepsia (23.33% vs 6.95%; P = 0.001), and irritable bowel syndrome (10.67% vs 2.60%; P = 0.024), whereas no difference was observed for functional abdominal pain (1.94% vs 2.60%; P = 1.00). Conclusions: Our data suggest that there is a link between excess body fat and FGIDs in children. This finding may offer a model of patients in which the effects of food and nutritional substances, the gut microbial environment, and psychosocial factors are fitting well with the emerging biopsychosocial conceptual model for FGIDs.

An SIS model with subpopulations and where the infectivity of an infected person is a function of age in the infected class is considered.The existence of equilibria and threshold conditions are established.The global asymptotic stability of the disease-free (zero) equilibrium below the threshold and, under certain conditions, the local asymptotic stability of the endemic (positive) equilibrium above the threshold are proved.Perturbations of the equilibrium together with a stability theorem in nonlinear integral equations are used to prove the stability of the endemic equilibrium.
Raman imaging studies on the stability of Paracetamol tablets under different storage conditions

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

The applicability of Raman imaging for pharmaceutics production ranges from the characterization of pharmaceutical formulations, kinetic processes in drug delivery to the rapid detection and identification of counterfeit drugs/contaminants. Acetaminophen (Paracetamol, APAP) is an analgesic and antipyretic drug and one of the most consumed medicines worldwide. On the other hand, the compound 4-aminophenol (4-AP) is a hydrolytic product of APAP with nephrotoxicity and teratogenic effects. In this work, we have explored for the first time Raman imaging methods to characterize the main components of commercial APAP tablets (APAP-tablets) and to inquire about the potential of this optical technique to identify 4-AP in APAP tablets, which have been previously spiked with such contaminant. The laboratorial treated APAP-tablet samples were subjected to different temperature, humidity and sunlight exposure conditions, mimicking storage conditions, and then the Raman spectra and images were collected to monitor changes that might occur in those conditions. Although the lower limit of detection of 4-AP in APAP-tablets is above the minimum levels established by Pharmacopoeias (0.005 %), this research demonstrates that Raman imaging still allows the detection of small amounts of the contaminant, thus opening perspectives for exploring this technique for characterizing APAP products.
Recommendations for software engineering education

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

The increasing emphasis on software engineering in the computer science curricula directly correlates with the expansion of the area of software engineering. The increased occurrence of software engineering courses has produced significant discrepancies in the content of the courses at the undergraduate level. These discrepancies have percipitated the need for recommendations for the inclusion of software engineering in the curriculum. The recommendations presented in this paper include both the integration of software engineering principles throughout the undergraduate curriculum and the content of a separate software engineering course. The recommendations for course content are based on a survey of the contents of recently published software engineering textbooks.
Post-discharge surveillance and positive virus detection in two medical staff recovered from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), China, January to February 2020

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Since December 2019, 62 medical staff of Zhongnan Hospital in Wuhan, China have been hospitalised with coronavirus disease 2019. During the post-discharge surveillance after clinical recovery, swabs were positive in two asymptomatic cases (3.23%). Case 1 had presented typical clinical and radiological manifestations on admission, while manifestation in Case 2 was very mild. In conclusion, a small proportion of recovered patients may test positive after discharge, and post-discharge surveillance and isolation need to be strengthened.
