Patient safety: within the reach of the homeless?

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

ABSTRACT Objectives: to reflect on aspects related to homeless patients’ safety. Methods: this is a reflective theoretical essay based on patient safety theories. Results: the patient safety culture has developed in the hospital care context and seeks to reduce adverse events in specific hospital settings. On the streets, there is evidence that many people suffer damage related to lack of access to health services, which contributes to undiagnosed or untreated diseases. To build the safety culture it is necessary to identify risks and errors in this scenario since health safety should not start only when hospitalizing an individual. Final Considerations: public policies for this population group need to be effective, as this issue should be a priority concern in health care to prevent harm and adverse events during care delivery.
Quality assessment of gasoline using comprehensive two‐dimensional gas chromatography combined with unfolded partial least squares: A reliable approach for the detection of gasoline adulteration

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Comprehensive two‐dimensional gas chromatography and flame ionization detection combined with unfolded‐partial least squares is proposed as a simple, fast and reliable method to assess the quality of gasoline and to detect its potential adulterants. The data for the calibration set are first baseline corrected using a two‐dimensional asymmetric least squares algorithm. The number of significant partial least squares components to build the model is determined using the minimum value of root‐mean square error of leave‐one out cross validation, which was 4. In this regard, blends of gasoline with kerosene, white spirit and paint thinner as frequently used adulterants are used to make calibration samples. Appropriate statistical parameters of regression coefficient of 0.996–0.998, root‐mean square error of prediction of 0.005–0.010 and relative error of prediction of 1.54–3.82% for the calibration set show the reliability of the developed method. In addition, the developed method is externally validated with three samples in validation set (with a relative error of prediction below 10.0%). Finally, to test the applicability of the proposed strategy for the analysis of real samples, five real gasoline samples collected from gas stations are used for this purpose and the gasoline proportions were in range of 70–85%. Also, the relative standard deviations were below 8.5% for different samples in the prediction set.
Regulation of streptokinase-human plasmin complex by the plasma proteinase inhibitors alpha 2-antiplasmin and alpha 2-macroglobulin is species specific and temperature dependent

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Streptokinase-plasmin complex (SkPl) was prepared with human plasminogen. Regulation of SkPl and plasmin by the plasma proteinase inhibitors, alpha 2-antiplasmin (alpha 2AP) and alpha 2-macroglobulin (alpha 2M), was studied as a function of temperature in plasminogen- depleted human plasma, mouse plasma, and solutions of purified proteins. The reaction of plasmin with proteinase inhibitors in human plasma was complete. alpha 2AP was the predominant inhibitor. The fraction of alpha 2M-plasmin recovered was not affected significantly by incubation temperature. In contrast, the reaction of SkPl with human proteinase inhibitors was markedly temperature dependent. The apparent second-order rate constant for the reaction of SkPl with purified alpha 2AP at 37 degrees C (1.5 x 10(2) mol/L-1 s-1) was greater than 150-fold higher than the constant derived at 4 degrees C. In human plasma and in solutions containing mixtures of purified human proteins, alpha 2AP was the principal inhibitor of SkPl. Elevating the temperature enhanced the reaction of SkPl with alpha 2AP and alpha 2M comparably. Equivalent results were obtained when incubations were performed in platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or whole blood. In murine plasma, SkPl reacted readily with the proteinase inhibitors. The principal inhibitor of SkPl was alpha 2M. Maximum reaction between SkPl and murine alpha 2M was observed at 37 degrees C; however, significant reaction also occurred at 4 degrees C. alpha 2 AP was the predominant inhibitor of plasmin in mouse plasma. Reaction of alpha 2AP with SkPl in murine plasma was significant only after the alpha 2M was inactivated with methylamine. These results were not affected by platelets or whole blood cells. We conclude that the thrombolytic efficacy of streptokinase reflects not only the nature of the plasminogen activator complex but also the function of the proteinase inhibitors.
The mediating role of alcohol‐related memory associations on the relation between perceived parental drinking and the onset of adolescents' alcohol use

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Abstract Aims The aim of the current study was to examine the mediating role of alcohol‐related memory associations in the relation between perceived parental drinking and the onset of adolescents' alcohol use. Gender and grade were also included in the analyses. Design We tested a mediation model within a structural path modelling framework using longitudinal data (two waves). Setting and Participants The sample consisted of 608 C anadian adolescents (42.9% boys), who did not have any alcohol experiences at the first measurement. The adolescents were recruited from all grades 7–9 classes in a large school district in western C anada. Measurements Alcohol‐related memory associations were tested with the W ord A ssociation T est. We used adolescent self‐reports of alcohol use and parental drinking. Findings Results clearly showed a mediation effect of alcohol‐related memory associations [estimate = 0.023, 95% confidence interval ( CI): 0.002–0.044). That is, parental drinking as perceived by the adolescent was related positively to alcohol‐related memory associations, which in turn predicted adolescents' alcohol use a year later. Gender and grade were related to alcohol‐related memory associations. That is, boys and adolescents of higher grades had more memory associations. Conclusions Children appear to form memory associations related to alcohol before they ever drink alcohol themselves, and these associations appear to mediate the link between their perceptions of their parents' drinking and their own initial alcohol use.
ABH-based metamaterial to reduce vibro-acoustic effects of underwater explosion: a preliminary study

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Military vessels, submarines, and offshore structures can be subjected to injuries such as underwater explosions (UNDEX). UNDEX leads to structural vibrations, vibro-induced noise, and structural deformations and damage, mainly due to non-contact UNDEX. Thus, passive vibration and noise control techniques are paramount to safeguard machinery, instrumentations and crew. In this paper, the application of an ABH-based metamaterial is proposed to reduce induced vibrations and structure-borne noise. The effectiveness of the innovative solutions is studied through acoustic simulations performed in Actran VI, considering a simplified double bottom structure subjected to non-contact UNDEX as a case study. UNDEX shock wave load is applied to the target structure, evaluating elastic-plastic deformations and velocities of the structure in the time domain. Then, a Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) evaluates structural vibrations in the frequency domain. Finally, the radiated noise is predicted at different distances by the structures using a Direct Frequency Response (DFR) analysis. The ABH-based metamaterial’s efficiency in reducing structural vibrations and radiated noise is evaluated by comparing results obtained by the double bottom structure with and without the proposed solution, highlighting its potential in passive control.

Deposition Pattern Analysis on a Fouled Multistage Test Compressor

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Compressor fouling is one of the main causes of gas turbine performance degradation. Microsized particles adhere to the blade surfaces increasing the surface roughness and modifying the airfoil shape. In the present work, the contamination of the Allison 250 C18 multistage compressor engine with four sorts of micrometric dust has been provided. The tests were performed changing the relative humidity at the compressor inlet and the unit rotational speed. After each test, a photographic inspection of the internal fouled parts has been realized and the digital pictures have been analyzed employing an image processing package. The deposits build-up of stator vanes and rotor blades have been post-processed and the most affected regions of each compressor stage have been highlighted. Besides, a numerical simulation of the machine has been performed. The numerical flow field has been used to highlight the blade regions which show the most favorable conditions for particle deposition. A theoretical model has been applied to the flow field to simulate the particle deposition. The combination of the deposition model with the results of the CFD simulations gives the chance to better understand the experimentally-founded deposition patterns. Those results have been finally compared to the pictures of the patterns. The possibility to detect and measure the deposition patterns on a rotating test rig and the comparison with models and experiments gave the possibility to assess in detail the particle deposition phenomenon on a multistage axial compressor flow path.
Algorithm for image stitching in the infrared

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

The paper considers the question of stitching of infrared images obtained from different points and with the modified internal parameters of the camera. As test data, we use images taken by the thermal camera. To combine pairs of images, we use the several auxiliary algorithms are required, including: elimination of noise on images (denoising); restoration of sharpness on images (deblurring); search for basic elements on pairs IR images; separation of images into elements with given threshold values; search for correlations between base elements; elimination of false matches; search for the image conversion coefficient; search for the boundary of stitching and check the conditions for overlapping objects; if necessary, the perform the color correction operation and change the color balance; stitching pair of images and finding a common border. On the set of test images show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

A numerical investigation of the effect of boundary conditions and representative volume element size for porous titanium

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

To facilitate the design and application of porous titanium and titanium foam, numerical simulation of their mechanical behavior is essential.The concept of a representative volume element (RVE) is essential to obtain accurate estimates of the properties.Because of the high contrast between the properties of the two phases (pore vs. matrix), it is impractical to obtain a single RVE independent of boundary conditions to provide accurate predictions.We suggest that a set of small domain RVEs can be used instead, as long as the average of the small domains provides a convergent result.Two mixed boundary conditions simulating uniaxial proportional loading were designed and implemented on several 2D and 3D finite element models at different length scales, that is, containing different numbers of pores.The two boundary conditions provide opposite biased responses.Convergence of both the macroscopic and the microscopic elastoplastic responses associated with the boundary conditions is demonstrated here.By this approach, RVEs that are prohibitively large according to Hill's definition are divided into reasonably small ones associated with special boundary conditions, and the error of predictions associated with model size can be estimated.
Efficient Feature Extraction for Shape Analysis, Object Detection and Tracking

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

During the course of this thesis, two scenarios are considered. In the first one, we contribute to feature extraction algorithms. In the second one, we use features to improve object detection solutions and localization. The two scenarios give rise to into four thesis sub-goals. First, we present a new shape skeleton pruning algorithm based on contour approximation and the integer medial axis. The algorithm effectively removes unwanted branches, conserves the connectivity of the skeleton and respects the topological properties of the shape. The algorithm is robust to significant boundary noise and to rigid shape transformations. It is fast and easy to implement. While shape-based solutions via boundary and skeleton analysis are viable solutions to object detection, keypoint features are important for textured object detection. Therefore, we present a keypoint featurebased planar object detection framework for vision-based localization. We demonstrate that our framework is robust against illumination changes, perspective distortion, motion blur, and occlusions. We increase robustness of the localization scheme in cluttered environments and decrease false detection of targets. We present an off-line target evaluation strategy and a scheme to improve pose. Third, we extend planar object detection to a real-time approach for 3D object detection using a mobile and uncalibrated camera. We develop our algorithm based on two novel naive Bayes classifiers for viewpoint and feature matching that improve performance and decrease memory usage. Our algorithm exploits the specific structure of various binary descriptors in order to boost feature matching by conserving descriptor properties. Our novel naive classifiers require a database with a small memory footprint because we only store efficiently encoded features. We improve the feature-indexing scheme to speed up the matching process creating a highly efficient database for objects. Finally, we present a model-free long-term tracking algorithm based on the Kernelized Correlation Filter. The proposed solution improves the correlation tracker based on precision, success, accuracy and robustness while increasing frame rates. We integrate adjustable Gaussian window and sparse features for robust scale estimation creating a better separation of the target and the background. Furthermore, we include fast descriptors and Fourier spectrum packed format to boost performance while decreasing the memory footprint. We compare our algorithm with state-of-the-art techniques to validate the results.
Investigation of the Horizontal Motion of Particle-Laden Jets

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Particle-laden jet flows can be observed in many industrial applications. In this investigation, the horizontal motion of particle laden jets is simulated using the Eulerian–Lagrangian framework. The two-way coupling is applied to the model to simulate the interaction between discrete and continuum phase. In order to track the continuum phase, a passive scalar equation is added to the solver. Eddy Life Time (ELT) is employed as a dispersion model. The influences of different non-dimensional parameters, such as Stokes number, Jet Reynolds number and mass loading ratio on the flow characteristics, are studied. The results of the simulations are verified with the available experimental data. It is revealed that more gravitational force is exerted on the jet as a result of the increase in mass loading, which deflects it more. Moreover, with an increase in the Reynolds number, the speed of the jet rises, and consequently, the gravitational force becomes less capable of deviating the jet. In addition, it is observed that by increasing the Stokes number, the particles leave the jet at higher speed, which causes a lower deviation of the jet.
Liberation and Unification

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Abstract Serbia’s political and military leadership was at the start of 1917 bitterly divided three ways between Prince Regent Aleksandar and his White Hand, Prime Minister Nikola Pašić and his Radicals, and the mutually sympathetic Black Hand and Independent Radicals. Despite Serbia’s setbacks, Pašić retained his ambitious plans for South Slav unification under Serbia’s leadership, for which he waged careful diplomacy with the Entente allies and representatives of the Habsburg South Slavs, above all in the Yugoslav Committee. Inevitably, Serbia’s internal divisions extended into its negotiations on South Slav unification as the Independents sought allies among the Habsburg South Slavs to offset Radical hegemony, leading them to embrace a more Yugoslavist approach to unification in opposition to Pašić’s Serbia-centred approach. Serbia’s leaders embraced the cause not merely of pan-Serb but of South Slav unification to pre-empt the establishment of a rival independent South Slav state on, or Italy’s acquisition of, territory they considered rightfully theirs. Unification on Serbia’s terms and under its leadership left the Radical model of nationhood hegemonic and the prince regent, his popularity and self-confidence cemented by his central role in the victorious wars of 1912–1918, as the leading actor in the new state.
TorchAmi: Generalized CPU/GPU Implementation of Algorithmic Matsubara Integration

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

We present torchami, an advanced implementation of algorithmic Matsubara integration (AMI) that utilizes pytorch as a backend to provide easy parallelization and GPU support. AMI is a tool for analytically resolving the sequence of nested Matsubara integrals that arise in virtually all Feynman perturbative expansions. In this implementation we present a new AMI algorithm that creates a more natural symbolic representation of the Feynman integrands. In addition, we include peripheral tools that allow for import and labelling of simple graph structures and conversion to torchami input. The code is written in c++ with python bindings provided.
An Evaluation of a Winter Mortality Model for the Mountain Pine Beetle

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The winter mortality of mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins) larvae caused by temperatures below survivable thresholds and sudden decreases in temperature is among the most influential factors limiting population growth. Due to the importance of winter mortality in the demise of mountain pine beetle infestations, a widely used winter mortality model was developed at the Canadian Forest Service and the United States Forest Service. It predicts lethal temperatures and survival probabilities given temperature time series over the winter season. We present a rare and possibly the first peer-reviewed validation of this winter mortality model, wherein we independently tested the model at a new region in Canada by comparing model predictions to the observed lower lethal temperature thresholds and cold-associated mortality. Model predictions were biologically reasonable but slightly biased. Bias was exacerbated by the inaccurate translation of air temperature data from weather stations to temperatures under the bark where larvae develop. The spatial prediction of relative mortality observed across the study area in Banff National Park was poor—likely because the mountainous terrain presents a difficult prediction challenge when under-bark temperatures are not directly observed. Our results will help inform users of model constraints and how to optimize the accuracy of model predictions.
