Carrier transport spin orbit dynamics in surface enhanced Raman shift of perovskite films

The unknown LSMO/ZnO spin orbit dynamics and bandgap are presented by Mn partial wave state density of LaSrMnO3 and SRS spectroscopy. Raman active phonon in orthorhombic perovskite ZnO/La0.7Sr0.3MnO films are were focused by measuring Raman spectra in various scattering configurations. The LSMO spin state density is modified by Mn mixed valence state. The results show that the spin orbit is caused by anomalies tilt of MnO6 octahedron and electrons hopped into the empty orbital states. The transfer of d x 2 y 2 orbits dynamics is in the background of the ferro orbital order state of crystal stabilized d 3 z 2 r 2 orbit effect. The LSMO/ZnO displays magnetic and phononic scattering measurement. The kinetic energy gain achieved by the orbital competition, magnetic ordering, strong crystal field and charge order of energy band splitting. The LSMO/ZnO junction exhibits excellent junction antiferromagnetic/ferromagnetic phonon peaks and magnetoresistance behavior over the temperature range of 77 300 K. The significant energy band competition originates from the strong crystal splitting field and orbital canting.
Application of GIS technology in public health: successes and challenges
Venue: Parasitology

The uptake and acceptance of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology has increased since the early 1990s and public health applications are rapidly expanding. In this paper, we summarize the common uses of GIS technology in the public health sector, emphasizing applications related to mapping and understanding of parasitic diseases. We also present some of the success stories, and discuss the challenges that still prevent a full scope application of GIS technology in the public health context. Geographical analysis has allowed researchers to interlink health, population and environmental data, thus enabling them to evaluate and quantify relationships between health related variables and environmental risk factors at different geographical scales. The ability to access, share and utilize satellite and remote sensing data has made possible even wider understanding of disease processes and of their links to the environment, an important consideration in the study of parasitic diseases. For example, disease prevention and control strategies resulting from investigations conducted in a GIS environment have been applied in many areas, particularly in Africa. However, there remain several challenges to a more widespread use of GIS technology, such as: limited access to GIS infrastructure, inadequate technical and analytical skills, and uneven data availability. Opportunities exist for international collaboration to address these limitations through knowledge sharing and governance.
Application of GIS

Surveillance and exchange of gathered information guides emergency response as well as long term planning. In this paper we have discussed about the Open GIS, which can be very well utilized during different health hazards and in response to that some immediate actions can be taken up based on the available latest information in the said system. Open Source Web GIS software systems have reached a stage of maturity, sophistication, robustness and stability, and usability and user friendliness rivaling that of commercial, proprietary GIS and Web GIS server products. The Open Source Web GIS community is also actively embracing OGC (Open Geospatial Consortium) standards, including WMS (Web Map Service) WMS enables the creation of Web maps that have layers coming from multiple different remote servers/sources. Here we present one easy to implement .Web GIS server solution that is based on the Open Source Map Server. With the help of step by step instructions, interested readers running mainstream machines and with no prior technical experience in Web GIS or Internet map servers will be able to publish their own health maps on the Web and add to those maps additional layers retrieved from Remote WMS servers. All problems with planning and management are related to location, they are geographically referenced and require spatial analysis and presentation, an Open GIS on any compatible GIS platform will be very helpful tool for planning and decision making in emergency management. The geographical information system (GIS) is a tool used generically for any computer based capability for manipulating geographical data. The hardware and software functions of GIS include data input, data storage, data management (data manipulation, updating, changing, exchange) and data reporting (retrieval, presentation, analysis, combination, etc..All of these actions and operations are applied to GIS as a tool that forms its database. The paper describes the types of the GIS data formats (vector, raster) database object definitions, relationships, geometric features, and the data organization structure. Some GIS applications and examples are given for better understanding of how GIS data can be used in GIS applications, with the respect to data formats, including surface elevation and slope from Digital Elevation Model data (DEM) with the applicability in water industry.
Application of GIS in public health in India: A literature based review, analysis, and recommendations
Venue: Indian journal of public health

The implementation of geospatial technologies and methods for improving health has become widespread in many nations, but India's adoption of these approaches has been fairly slow. With a large population, ongoing public health challenges, and a growing economy with an emphasis on innovative technologies, the adoption of spatial approaches to disease surveillance, spatial epidemiology, and implementation of health policies in India has great potential for both success and efficacy. Through our evaluation of scientific papers selected through a structured key phrase review of the National Center for Biotechnology Information on the database PubMed, we found that current spatial approaches to health research in India are fairly descriptive in nature, but the use of more complex models and statistics is increasing. The institutional home of the authors is skewed regionally, with Delhi and South India more likely to show evidence of use. The need for scientists engaged in spatial health analysis to first digitize basic data, such as maps of road networks, hydrological features, and land use, is a strong impediment to efficiency, and their work would certainly advance more quickly without this requirement.

Interdisciplinary collaboration experiences in creating an everyday rehabilitation model: a pilot study
Venue: Journal of multidisciplinary healthcare

When functional impairment occurs, assistance to achieve self help can lead to qualitatively more active everyday life for recipients and better use of community resources. Home based everyday rehabilitation is a new interdisciplinary service for people living at home. Rehabilitation involves meeting the need for interprofessional services, interdisciplinary collaboration, and coordination of services. Everyday rehabilitation is a service that requires close interdisciplinary cooperation. The purpose of this study was to gain knowledge about employees' experiences with establishing a new multidisciplinary team and developing a team based work model.  The study had a qualitative design using two focus group interviews with a newly established rehabilitation team. The sample consisted of an occupational therapist, two care workers with further education in rehabilitation, a nurse, a physiotherapist, and a project leader. Data were analyzed by thematic content analysis.  The data highlight three phases: a planning phase (ten meetings over half a year) a startup phase of trials of interdisciplinary everyday rehabilitation in practice (2 months) and a third period specifying and implementing an everyday rehabilitation model (6 months) During these phases, three themes emerged: 1) team creation and design of the service, 2) targeted practical trials, and 3) equality of team members and combining interdisciplinary methods.  The team provided information about three processes: developing work routines and a revised team based flow chart, developing team cooperation with integrated Trans and interdisciplinary collaboration, and working with external exchange. There is more need for secure network solutions.

Dialectic Critical Realism: Grounded Values and Reflexivity in Social Science Research

Critical realism emerged from the philosophical writings of Roy Bhaskar, and has evolved into a philosophy of social science research using the model of "dialectical critical realism" (DCR) which begins with the researcher's assumptions that the structures being researched have a real, ontological grounding which is independent of the researcher. This approach has proved fruitful in British and European social science research, but has had less influence in North America. We outline DCR's four level model for understanding society and its changing social structures through "the pulse of freedom" DCR has been used by Marxists, Muslims, Catholics and secular scholars who engage fruitfully in morphogenic dialogues leading to a critical realist understanding of society and social research, which transcends positivist and social constructionist models. Examples of DCR's application in the fields of childhood research, child abuse, education, and research on organisations are outlined to illustrate the working of this new research paradigm. We are enthusiastic in our advocacy of DCR as a model of qualitative research, and for constructing models of positive social change, and are particularly impressed by the substantive and theoretical expositions of DCR by Priscilla Anderson, Matthew Wilkinson and Margaret Archer, whose work we document and review.
The effects of counterion exchange on charge stabilization for anionic surfactants in nonpolar solvents.
Venue: Journal of colloid and interface science

HYPOTHESIS Sodium dioctylsulfosuccinate (Aerosol OT or NaAOT) is a well studied charging agent for model poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) latexes dispersed in nonpolar alkane solvents. Despite this, few controlled variations have been made to the molecular structure. A series of counterion exchanged analogs of NaAOT with other alkali metals (lithium, potassium, rubidium, and cesium) were prepared, and it was expected that this should influence the stabilization of charge on PMMA latexes and the properties of the inverse micelles.  The electrophoretic mobilities of PMMA latexes were measured for all the counterion exchanged AOT analogs, and these values were used to calculate the electrokinetic or z potentials. This enabled a comparison of the efficacy of the different surfactants as charging agents. Small angle scattering measurements (using neutrons and X rays) were performed to determine the structure of the inverse micelles, and electrical conductivity measurements were performed to determine the ionized fractions and Debye lengths.  Sodium AOT is a much more effective charging agent than any of the other alkali metal AOTs. Despite this, the inverse micelle size and electrical conductivity of NaAOT are unremarkable. This shows a significant non periodicity in the charging efficiency of these surfactants, and it emphasizes that charging particles in nonpolar solvents is a complex phenomenon.
Preoperative liver functional volumetry performed by 3D 99mTc GSA scintigraphy/vascular fusion imaging using SYNAPSE VINCENT: a preliminary study

The present study was designed to evaluate the feasibility of preoperative liver functional volumetry performed by 3D technetium 99m diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid galactosyl human serum albumin (99mTc GSA) scintigraphy/ vascular fusion imaging using SYNAPSE VINCENT and to examine the discrepancy between conventional and functional volumetry.  The study group comprised 15 patients who underwent preoperative 3 dimensional (3D) 99mTc GSA scintigraphy/vascular fusion imaging using SYNAPSE VINCENT software before hepatectomy between July 2014 and August 2015. The diagnosis was hepatocellular carcinoma (n 4) metastatic liver tumor (n 10) or intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (n 1) Right hepatectomy was performed in 2 patients, left hepatectomy in 3 patients, right posterior sectionectomy in 3 patients, segmentectomy in 2 patients, and partial hepatectomy in 4 patients. 99mTc GSA scintigraphy and computed tomography (CT) were performed to construct 3D 99mTc GSA scintigraphy/ vascular fused images. The conventional volume ratio of the planned resection region without tumor CT) and the functional volume ratio of the planned resection region without tumor GSA) were calculated. The discrepancy ratio was calculated as follows: discrepancy ratio 100 GSA/ CT x 100  The GSA (17.9 16.7% was significantly lower than the CT (21.5 17.6% (P 0.036) In all except 2 patients, the GSA was lower than the CT. The discrepancy ratio ranged from 4% to 75% (median, 20.7%  3D 99mTc GSA scintigraphy/ vascular fused images constructed using SYNAPSE VINCENT were useful for noninvasively performing functional liver volumetry in patients scheduled to undergo various patterns of hepatectomy. In planned resection regions without tumor, the functional volume ratio was about 20% lower than the conventional volume ratio.
Future remnant liver function estimated by combining liver volumetry on magnetic resonance imaging with total liver function on (99m)Tc mebrofenin hepatobiliary scintigraphy: can this tool predict post hepatectomy liver failure?
Venue: HPB the official journal of the International Hepato Pancreato Biliary Association

Posthepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) is a major complication after hepatectomy with a high mortality rate and is likely to happen in insufficient liver remnant. We hypothesize that assessment of the estimated future liver remnant function (eFLRF) combining future remnant liver volume (FLRV) with total liver function (TLF) is an accurate formula for prediction of PHLF.  88 patients undergoing hepatectomy were included. The ratio of the future liver remnant volume (FLRV% was measured on MRI. TLF was estimated by liver clearance of (99m)Technetium (Tc) mebrofenin on hepatobiliary scintigraphy (HBS) eFLRF was calculated by multiplying FLRV% by TLF. Cut off values of FLRV% and eFLRF predicting PHLF, were defined by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis.  PHLF occurred in 12 patients (13% Perioperative mortality was 5/12 (41% Multivariate analysis showed that FLRV% cut off at 40% was not an independent predictive factor. eFLRF cut off at 2.3%/min/m(2) was the only independent predictive factor for PHLF. For FLRV% vs. eFLRF, positive predictive value was 41% vs. 92% and Odds Ratio 26 vs. 836.  FRLF measured by combining FLRV% and TLF is a more valuable tool to predict PHLF than FLRV% alone. The cutoff of eFLRF can be used in clinical decision making.
Characterization of transfer function, resolution and depth of field of a soft X ray microscope applied to tomography enhancement by Wiener deconvolution.
Venue: Biomedical optics express

Full field soft X ray microscopy is becoming a powerful imaging technique to analyze whole cells preserved under cryo conditions. Images obtained in these X ray microscopes can be combined by tomographic reconstruction to quantitatively estimate the three dimensional (3D) distribution of absorption coefficients inside the cell. The impulse response of an imaging system is one of the factors that limits the quality of the X ray microscope reconstructions. The main goal of this work is to experimentally measure the 3D impulse response and to assess the optical resolution and depth of field of the Mistral microscope at ALBA synchrotron (Barcelona, Spain) To this end we measure the microscope apparent transfer function (ATF) and we use it to design a deblurring Wiener filter, obtaining an increase in the image quality when applied to experimental datasets collected at ALBA.
Recursive regression and Wiener deconvolution for coagulation optimization in water treatment plant
Venue: 2016 IEEE International Conference on Digital Signal Processing (DSP)

A coagulation optimization strategy was developed which utilizes the Wiener deconvolution filter to estimate steady steady values, and then updates the optimization model using recursive kernel regression. The regression based dose controller is capable of maintaining a target turbidity level with changing raw water conditions. Various pilot test experiments were performed to validate the effectiveness of the proposed strategy.
Satellite Image Restoration by Applying the Genetic Approach to the Wiener Deconvolution
Venue: 2016 13th International Conference on Computer Graphics, Imaging and Visualization (CGiV)

In the process of satellite imaging, the observed image is blurred by optical system and atmospheric effects and corrupted by additive noise. The image restoration method known as Wiener deconvolution intervenes to estimate from the degraded image an image as close as possible to the original image. The effectiveness of this method obviously depends on the regularization term which requires a priori knowledge of the power spectral density of the original image that is rarely, if ever, accessible, hence the estimation of approximate values can affect the restored image quality. In this paper, the idea consists of applying the genetic approach to the Wiener deconvolution for satellite image restoration through the optimization of this regularization term in order to achieve the best possible result.
Multi chaotic System Induced Success History Based Adaptive Differential Evolution
Venue: ICAISC

This research paper combines two soft computing fields chaos theory and evolutionary computing. The proposed multi chaotic system implements five different chaotic maps as a Pseudo Random Number Generators (PRNGs) for parent selection process in Differential Evolution (DE) and Success History based Adaptive Differential Evolution (SHADE) algorithms. The probabilities for selecting chaotic maps are adapted and the adaptation process is based on the previous successful solutions. Therefore, PRNG varies for different test functions. The performance of multi chaotic system induced DE and SHADE is compared against their canonical versions on CEC2015 benchmark set. Acquired results show that replacing classic PRNG with multi chaotic PRNG can lead sto improvement in terms of convergence speed and ability to reach the global optimum.
Therapist guided internet based cognitive behavioural therapy for body dysmorphic disorder: single blind randomised controlled trial
Venue: British Medical Journal

To evaluate the efficacy of therapist guided internet based cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) programme for body dysmorphic disorder (BDD NET) compared with online supportive therapy.  A 12 week single blind parallel group randomised controlled trial.  Academic medical centre. Participants 94 self referred adult outpatients with a diagnosis of body dysmorphic disorder and a modified Yale Brown obsessive compulsive scale (BDD YBOCS) score of =20. Concurrent psychotropic drug treatment was permitted if the dose had been stable for at least two months before enrolment and remained unchanged during the trial.  Participants received either BDD NET (n=47) or supportive therapy (n=47) delivered via the internet for 12 weeks.  The primary outcome was the BDD YBOCS score after treatment and follow up (three and six months from baseline) as evaluated by a masked assessor. Responder status was defined as a =30% reduction in symptoms on the scale. Secondary outcomes were measures of depression (MADRS S) global functioning (GAF) clinical global improvement (CGI I) and quality of life (EQ5D) The six month follow up time and all outcomes other than BDD YBOCS and MADRS S at 3 months were not pre specified in the registration at clinicaltrials.gov because of an administrative error but were included in the original trial protocol approved by the regional ethics committee before the start of the trial.  BDD NET was superior to supportive therapy and was associated with significant improvements in severity of symptoms of body dysmorphic disorder (BDD YBOCS group difference 7.1 points, 95% confidence interval 9.8 to 4.4) depression (MADRS S group difference 4.5 points, 7.5 to 1.4) and other secondary measures. At follow up, 56% of those receiving BDD NET were classed as responders, compared with 13% receiving supportive therapy. The number needed to treat was 2.34 (1.71 to 4.35) Self reported satisfaction was high.  CBT can be delivered safely via the internet to patients with body dysmorphic disorder. BDD NET has the potential to increase access to evidence based psychiatric care for this mental disorder, in line with NICE priority recommendations. It could be particularly useful in a stepped care approach, in which general practitioner or other mental health professionals can offer treatment to people with mild to moderate symptoms at low risk of suicide.
