Performance Evaluation of Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks for Rapid Response Traffic Information Delivery
Venue: WASA

Vehicular transportation has received rapid growth in many areas thanks to the increase in population density and massive city expansion. Such advancement however leads to the loss of time, money and human lives due to many reasons including driver distraction and serious roadway conditions. Recent trends have shown improvement of vehicular safety on account of design and manufacturing innovations such as additional airbags and pre collision detection and warning using sensors. Nonetheless, the national averages of fatality, injuries, and property damages due to roadway vehicular crashes still remain at high levels. For the purpose of saving lives, reducing fuel costs and travel time on road, it is demanded to have a vehicular communication system that rapidly learns about the environment and promptly respond and notify drivers for decision making. Our research in this paper aims to design a system that utilizes the communications among vehicles in a Vehicular Ad Hoc Network (VANET) and roadside infrastructure based devices. Our design and analysis indicate that such system can be applied to assist drivers in adjusting their driving for better safety and making route decisions to save time and fuel costs.
Cognition and Stress

For a cognitive conceptualization, stress arises when environmental demands are perceived as taxing or potentially exceeding one's own capacity or resources to manage them, and there is threat to well being if coping responses do not satisfy such demands. A cognitive vulnerability factor enhancing stress is trait anxiety, through hypervigilant processing styles involving selective orienting to threat cues, biased negative interpretation of ambiguous stimuli, and focusing attention on unfavorable thoughts. Short term episodes of mild intensity stress can facilitate cognitive functions, mainly encoding and memory consolidation of task relevant stimuli, and in implicit memory or simple declarative tasks. However, exposure to high intensity stress impairs the formation and retrieval of explicit memories and cognitive processes requiring complex or flexible reasoning. Long term stress, particularly during childhood and adolescence, consistently undermines cognitive mechanisms. This can be due to chronic elevations of glucocorticoids inhibiting neurogenesis, which damages important functions in the hippocampus and, possibly, the prefrontal cortex.

Applying uses and gratifications theory and social influence processes to understand students' pervasive adoption of social networking sites: Perspectives from the Americas
Venue: Int. J. Inf. Manag.

This study provides nascent information on university students' needs to adopt social networking sites (SNSs) pervasively. The study drew from the uses and gratifications theory (UGT) and social influence (SI) processes framework. Relevant hypotheses were formulated to test the proposed research model. Data was collected in a survey of university undergraduates in four countries in the Americas (i.e. United States, Canada, Mexico, and Argentina) Data analysis using partial least squares (PLS) supported 8 out of the 10 hypotheses formulated. The SI process of internalization and identification, as well as UGT categories of self discovery, entertainment value, social enhancement, and the need to maintain interpersonal connectivity through the construct of behavioral intentions, were found to have positive impacts on students' pervasive adoption of SNSs. The results also revealed that the cultural factor of individualism collectivism had a positive impact on the pervasive adoption of SNSs, such that greater levels of engagement were observed for students from more individualistic cultures.
Long term effects of vertical bone augmentation: a systematic review
Venue: Journal of applied oral science revista FOB

Extraction, periodontitis, or trauma can cause a reduction on the alveolar ridge. This could result in an insufficient alveolar bone width and height. Different techniques of vertical bone augmentation are described in literature. However, nowadays there is not enough evidence against lateral augmentation procedures to verify if these techniques are stable over a long period of time.  This review analyses the different techniques that are used to vertically augment the bone and evaluate if these techniques are stable over a long period of time.  The MEDLINE PubMed database was searched from its earliest records until December 22, 2014. The following search term was used: Alveolar Ridge augmentation [MESH] Several journals were hand searched and some authors were contacted for additional information. The primary outcome measure that was analyzed was marginal bone level change around dental implants in the augmented sites, and the secondary outcomes were survival and success rates of dental implants placed in the augmented sites.  The search yielded 203 abstracts. Ultimately, 90 articles were selected, describing 51 studies meeting the eligibility criteria. The marginal bone level change for the inlay technique and vertical guided bone regeneration are in agreement with the success criteria. Alveolar distraction showed more marginal bone level change after the first year of loading, and for the inlay technique very few studies were available.  Based on the available data in the current existing studies with a follow up period of at least 4 to 5 years, one can summarize that there seems to be a trend that the onlay technique, alveolar distraction, and vertical guided bone regeneration are stable for at least 4 to 5 years.
Recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein 2 outcomes for maxillary sinus floor augmentation: a systematic review and meta analysis.
Venue: Clinical oral implants research

To study the effect of the recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein 2 (rhBMP 2) on sinus volumetric and histometric changes after sinus floor augmentation compared to a conventional approach of non biologic bone grafting materials.  An electronic search of 4 databases (January 1990 February 2015) including PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science and Cochrane Central, and a hand search of peer reviewed journals for relevant articles were performed. Human clinical trials with data on comparison of sinus volumetric and/or histometric outcomes with and without the use of rhBMP 2 in sinus grafting procedures, with =10 augmentation sites in each study group, and with a follow up period of at least 6 months, were included. Random effects meta analyses were performed to analyze weighted mean difference (WMD) and confidence interval (CI) for the recorded variables according to PRISMA guidelines.  Six randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were included. The results of the meta analyses showed that the WMD of vertical bone height gain was 0.14 mm (95% CI 1.91 to 1.62 mm, P 0.87) the WMD of bone density was 142.42 mg/cm3 (95% CI 310.62 25.78 mg/cm3 P 0.10) the WMD of the percentage of vital bone was 4.59% (95% CI 11.73 2.56% P 0.21) and the WMD of the percentage of residual bone grafting materials was 9.90% (95% CI 26.38 6.58% P 0.21) The comparison of implant survival rate presented an overall risk ratio of 1.00 (95% CI 0.94 1.07) The two approaches (conventional bone grafting compared to BMPs) demonstrated comparable effectiveness for both clinical and histomorphometric measures.  This systematic review revealed that the use of rhBMP 2 in maxillary sinus floor augmentation achieved similar clinical and histometric outcomes when compared to conventional sinus grafting procedures after a healing period of 6 9 months. However, previous studies showed the morbidity and other patient reported outcomes were improved in rhBMP 2 approaches as compared to bone autograft procedures (both intraoral and extraoral bone harvesting because no donor site is required) Long term studies are required to determine the cost benefit of sinus floor augmentation procedures for patients requiring implant reconstruction.
Pain Assessment in Elderly with Behavioral and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia
Venue: Journal of Alzheimer's disease JAD

Pain is under detected and undertreated in people with dementia. The present study investigates the prevalence of pain in people with dementia hospitalized in nursing homes that are members of National Association of Third Age Residences (ANASTE) Calabria, and evaluates the association among pain, mood, and behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD)  The aim of this study is to define the prevalence of pain in people with dementia in long term care facilities using scales of self reporting and observational tools and, particularly, to study the relationship between pain and BPSD.  A prospective observational study was carried out on 233 patients. Pain assessment was performed using self reporting tools such as the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) for patients with slight cognitive impairment or no cognitive impairment and observational tools such as Pain Assessment In Advanced Dementia Scale (PAINAD) for patients with moderate or severe cognitive impairment. Mood was evaluated through the Cornell Scale for Depression in Dementia (CSDD) while behavioral problems were assessed through the Cohen Mansfield Agitation Inventory (CMAI) and Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI)  Only 42.5% of patients evaluated by NRS provided a reliable answer; of these, 20.4% reported no pain. The percentage of pain evaluated by PAINAD was 51.8% Analysis of data showed a statistically significant correlation between diagnosis of pain and depressive symptoms, assessed with CSDD (p 0.0113) as well as by single items of NPI, such as anxiety (p 0.0362) and irritability (p 0.0034) and F1 profile (Aggression) of CMAI (p 0.01)  This study confirms that self report alone is not sufficient to assess pain in elderly people with dementia; the observational tool is a necessary and suitable way of assessing pain in patients with cognitive impairment. If not adequately treated, chronic pain can cause depression, agitation, and aggression in patients with dementia.
Healthcare Providers' Knowledge and Current Practice of Pain Assessment and Management: How Much Progress Have We Made?
Venue: Pain research management

Despite improvement in pain management and availability of clinical treatment guidelines, patients in Jordan are still suffering from pain. Negative consequences of undertreated pain are being recognized as a reason for further illnesses and poor quality of life. Healthcare providers (HCPs) are responsible for relieving pain of their patients.  To evaluate the knowledge and attitudes of HCPs toward pain management in Jordan.  A 16 item questionnaire with agree or disagree options was given to 662 HCPs in seven hospitals in Jordan who volunteered to participate in the study. Following data collection, the responses were coded and entered into SPSS.  There was a statistically significant difference (p 0.004) in percentage scores between physicians (36% and pharmacists (36% versus nurses (24% The level of knowledge was the best among physicians, followed by pharmacists specifically in the area of cancer pain management. Nurses scored the lowest for knowledge of pain assessment and management among HCPs. However, HCPs overall scores indicated insufficient knowledge specifically in relation to pain assessment and management among children.
Automated synchronization of driving data using vibration and steering events
Venue: Pattern Recognit. Lett.

A passive synchronization method for driving data is proposedSynchronization of vehicle sensors uses vibration and steering events.Dense optical flow of video is used to capture significant car vibrations events.Cross correlation of vehicle sensor pairs achieves 13.5ms synchronization accuracy. We propose a method for automated synchronization of vehicle sensors useful for the study of multi modal driver behavior and for the design of advanced driver assistance systems. Multi sensor decision fusion relies on synchronized data streams in (1) the offline supervised learning context and (2) the online prediction context. In practice, such data streams are often out of sync due to the absence of a real time clock, use of multiple recording devices, or improper thread scheduling and data buffer management. Cross correlation of accelerometer, telemetry, audio, and dense optical flow from three video sensors is used to achieve an average synchronization error of 13 milliseconds. The insight underlying the effectiveness of the proposed approach is that the described sensors capture overlapping aspects of vehicle vibrations and vehicle steering allowing the cross correlation function to serve as a way to compute the delay shift in each sensor. Furthermore, we show the decrease in synchronization error as a function of the duration of the data stream.
An enhanced automated system for evaluating harsh driving using smartphone sensors
Venue: ICDCN

In this paper we propose an IoT based framework for driving style assessment using the driver owned smartphone as sensing platform. The GPS and the inertial sensors, embedded in the phone are used to continually sample measurements of position, speed and acceleration for the moving vehicle. The required computation is segregated between the phone and a remote server. We present the fusion algorithm which offers accurate estimation of velocity, thereby acceleration and position. To obviate the need for human intervention, an adaptive process in multi sensor fusion is implemented. Since, the user is not expected to keep the phone in a predefined position and orientation (with respect to the vehicle's longitudinal motion) an automated orientation correction module is essential and is described here.
TWO STEP CREDIT RISK ASSESMENT MODEL FOR RETAIL BANK LOAN APPLICATIONS USING DECISION TREE DATA MINING TECHNIQUE

Data mining techniques are becoming very popular nowadays because of the wide availability of huge quantity of data and the need for transforming such data into knowledge. In today's globalization, core banking model and cut throat competition making banks to struggling to gain a competitive edge over each other. The face to face interaction with customer is no more exists in the modern banking world. Banking systems collect huge amounts of data on day to day basis, be it customer information, transaction details like deposits and withdrawals, loans, risk profiles, credit card details, credit limit and collateral details related information. Thousands of decisions are taken in a bank on daily basis. In recent years the ability to generate, capture and store data has increased enormously. The information contained in this data can be very important. The wide availability of huge amounts of data and the need for transforming such data into knowledge encourage IT industry to use data mining. Lending is the primary business of the banks. Credit Risk Management is one of the most important and critical factor in banking world. Without proper credit risk management banks will face huge losses and lending becomes very tough for the banks. Data mining techniques are greatly used in the banking industry which helps them compete in the market and provide the right product to the right customer with less risk. Credit risks which account for the risk of loss and loan defaults are the major source of risk encountered by banking industry. Data mining techniques like classification and prediction can be applied to overcome this to a great extent. In this paper we introduce an effective prediction model for the bankers that help them predict the credible customers who have applied for loan. Decision Tree Induction Data Mining Algorithm is applied to predict the attributes relevant for credibility. A prototype of the model is described in this paper which can be used by the organizations in making the right decision to approve or reject the loan request of the customers.

Assessment of a Short Distance Freshwater Mussel Relocation as Viable Tool During Bridge Construction Projects
Venue: Freshwater Mollusk Biology and Conservation

Freshwater mussels have undergone dramatic population declines due largely to habitat alteration. A commonly employed measure to minimize the effects of anthropogenic habitat disturbance on mussels is short distance relocations of individuals. However, quantified survival data are lacking to gauge the success of relocations. To evaluate the suitability of short distance relocations as a conservation tool for freshwater mussels, we experimentally relocated two common species, Mucket (Actinonaias ligamentina) and Plain Pocketbook (Lampsilis cardium) in an active construction zone. We marked 100 mussels with passive integrated transponders, released them ~200 m upstream of the construction site, and monitored them monthly throughout the spring and summer 2013 2015. We used Cormack Jolly Seber models to estimate apparent survival rates and found survival was lowest the first two months after relocation but increased and stabilized thereafter. Our models predict 93% of the relocated A. ligamentina and 71% of the L. cardium remained alive three years post relocation. We conclude short distance relocations are a viable minimization tool for protecting freshwater mussels at bridge construction sites, but further study is needed examine the factors driving the initial mortality.
Dynamic habitat suitability modelling reveals rapid poleward distribution shift in a mobile apex predator.
Venue: Global change biology

Many taxa are undergoing distribution shifts in response to anthropogenic climate change. However, detecting a climate signal in mobile species is difficult due to their wide ranging, patchy distributions, often driven by natural climate variability. For example, difficulties associated with assessing pelagic fish distributions have rendered fisheries management ill equipped to adapt to the challenges posed by climate change, leaving pelagic species and ecosystems vulnerable. Here, we demonstrate the value of citizen science data for modelling the dynamic habitat suitability of a mobile pelagic predator (black marlin, Istiompax indica) within the south west Pacific Ocean. The extensive spatial and temporal coverage of our occurrence data set (n 18 717) collected at high resolution ~1.85 km(2) enabled identification of suitable habitat at monthly time steps over a 16 year period (1998 2013) We identified considerable monthly, seasonal and interannual variability in the extent and distribution of suitable habitat, predominately driven by chlorophyll a and sea surface height. Interannual variability correlated with El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events, with suitable habitat extending up to ~300 km further south during La Nina events. Despite the strong influence of ENSO, our model revealed a rapid poleward shift in the geometric mean of black marlin habitat, occurring at 88.2 km decade( 1) By incorporating multiple environmental factors at monthly time steps, we were able to demonstrate a rapid distribution shift in a mobile pelagic species. Our findings suggest that the rapid velocity of climate change in the south west Pacific Ocean is likely affecting mobile pelagic species, indicating that they may be more vulnerable to climate change than previously thought.
