Augmenting Scientific Papers with Just in Time, Position Sensitive Definitions of Terms and Symbols
Venue: CHI
Year: 2021

Despite the central importance of research papers to scientific progress, they can be difficult to read. Comprehension is often stymied when the information needed to understand a passage resides somewhere else in another section, or in another paper. In this work, we envision how interfaces can bring definitions of technical terms and symbols to readers when and where they need them most. We introduce ScholarPhi, an augmented reading interface with four novel features: (1) tooltips that surface position sensitive definitions from elsewhere in a paper, (2) a filter over the paper that "declutters" it to reveal how the term or symbol is used across the paper, (3) automatic equation diagrams that expose multiple definitions in parallel, and (4) an automatically generated glossary of important terms and symbols. A usability study showed that the tool helps researchers of all experience levels read papers. Furthermore, researchers were eager to have ScholarPhi's definitions available to support their everyday reading.
In process detection of microstructural changes in laser cladding of in situ Inconel 718/TiC metal matrix composite coating
Year: 2018

Online monitoring of thermal history during laser cladding of Inconel 718/TiC metal matrix composite (MMC) produced by in situ process was carried out. Effects of weight percentage of Ti+C and process parameters on the thermal history, and its correlation with the evolution of microstructure were studied. Further, changes in the evolution of microstructure and excessive dilution were identified online by monitoring various features of the thermo cycle profile, i.e. occurrence of undercooling with change in microstructure from dispersed fine particles to dendritic structure caused by assembling of floating TiC particles at slow cooling, molten pool lifetime and shift in solidification shelf location because of compositional changes caused by excessive dilution. Coating with dispersed fine TiC particles exhibited high hardness and good wear characteristics compared to the one with dendritic structure. Further, dendritic growth of TiC particles resulted in embrittlement of the coating. Cladding was also carried out in laser power modulated mode to enhance the cooling rate, thereby refining the microstructure. Identification of optimum parameters through real time monitoring of molten pool thermal history and its physical state (liquid/solid) during laser power modulation to ensure refinement of microstructure was studied. SEM and XRD analyses were carried out for analysing the microstructure and phases.
Exposure to pets and risk of sensitisation to house dust mite cat and dog allergens in a pre school children population of an Andalusian seaside town
Year: 2017

An increase in the prevalence of asthma, rhinitis and eczema as paradigms of atopic diseases in children has been well documented. In Spain, the prevalence of asthma and rhinitis has also increased, especially among small children, during the last decades. Many studies have tried to establish a relationship between different environmental exposures in the first year of life and the risk of developing allergic disease both in children and in adults. Only a few studies have tried to identify a relationship between environmental exposure and the risk of sensitisation, with no consistent results. The aim of this study is to establish a possible relationship between pet keeping during the first year of life and the risk of sensitisation to house dust mite, cat and dog allergens in preschool children. Children aged 4 and 5 years attending public schools in Estepona (Malaga, Spain) were invited to join the study during the school years 2006 2007 and 2008 2009. Participation varied widely among centers from 25% to 100% Parents of the participants answered a questionnaire modelled on the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC) format, validated for the Spanish population, and slightly modified to avoid the questions related to the progression of allergic diseases. The study was approved by the local and regional educational authority, and written consent was obtained from all parents. Skin prick tests were performed using the method described by the European Academy of Allergology and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus, Dermatophagoides farinae, cat dander and dog dander were tested. Statistical analyses were performed using PASW Statistics 18 (formerly SPSS)(c) 2009 SPSS Iberica, IBM Company] Numerical variables were expressed as medians and Table 1 Socio demographic characteristics of subjects participating.
Goal and Scope in Life Cycle Sustainability Analysis: The Case of Hydrogen Production from Biomass
Year: 2014

The framework for life cycle sustainability analysis (LCSA) developed within the project CALCAS (Co ordination Action for innovation in Life Cycle Analysis for Sustainability) is introducing a truly integrated approach for sustainability studies. However, it needs to be further conceptually refined and to be made operational. In particular, one of the gaps still hindering the adoption of integrated analytic tools for sustainability studies is the lack of a clear link between the goal and scope definition and the modeling phase. This paper presents an approach to structure the goal and scope phase of LCSA so as to identify the relevant mechanisms to be further detailed and analyzed in the modeling phase. The approach is illustrated with an on going study on a new technology for the production of high purity hydrogen from biomass, to be used in automotive fuel cells.
Family Functioning and Childhood Obesity Treatment: A Family Systems Theory Informed Approach.
Venue: Academic pediatrics
Year: 2018

Childhood obesity recommendations advise providers to use family based care for the treatment of youth and adolescent obesity. Family based care, defined as the inclusion of a caregiver and a youth, is commonly conducted through behavioral interventions that target the dietary and physical activity behaviors of the attending parent youth dyads. However, focusing on behaviors isolated to the parent and youth neglects the rest of the family members, and the larger rules, routines, communication, and dynamics in the family. Family based interventions grounded in family systems theory (FST) target family dynamics to influence weight related behaviors through higher level changes in the family. The utility of using FST in childhood obesity treatment has not been extensively conceptualized or applied. Few outcome studies have reported on variables representative of FST, and even fewer FST interventions have been conducted. Because of the lack of detail on the application of FST to childhood obesity treatment, providers are left with little clarity on how to use FST in clinical encounters. We provide the background and evidence for use of FST, detail how families organize around weight related behaviors that contribute to obesity, and on the basis of their organization, what type of treatment might be beneficial, FST informed or family based behavioral interventions. Finally, a suggested family based clinical algorithm is provided detailing the use of FST through assessment, intervention, and follow up that can be refined over time by providers and researchers committed to viewing obesity in the context of the family and family dynamics.
Brain Plasticity, Intelligence and Schizophrenia: influence of genes and environment
Year: 2013

This thesis shows that the adult human brain has plastic properties. These plastic properties are at least in part heritable and have functional significance. Identifying genes and environmental factors implicated in brain plasticity is an important next step to optimize brain development in health and in psychiatric diseases, such as schizophrenia. These conclusions are based on 5 studies. Structural brain plasticity was based on a longitudinal design with magnetic resonance imaging. Heritability was measured using structural equation modeling in monozygotic and dizygotic twins discordant for schizophrenia and in healthy twins. Functional significance was based on the intelligence quotient. In a meta analysis that included over 2000 individuals it was revealed that brain volume changes throughout life (Hedman et al, Human Brain Mapping, 2013) There is a wave of growth in adolescence and possibly another wave of growth in adulthood. In addition, there are periods of brain volume shrinkage. Structural brain plasticity is at least in part heritable, with estimates up to 50 percent heritability for volumes, based on a longitudinal magnetic resonance imaging study in monozygotic and dizygotic twins (Hedman et al, in preparation) These brain volume changes have functional significance. Adults with a higher intelligence show attenuated brain loss and more pronounced brain growth. Genes involved in brain volume changes in healthy adults overlap in part with genes for intelligence. Thus, it appears that continued dynamic brain change in adulthood and intelligence act together in concert, and both are mediated in part by common genes. It is known that there is progressive brain tissue loss in schizophrenia, which is at least in part heritable (Brans et al,  2008) Cortically, the progressive loss of thickness in schizophrenia was found to be particularly prominent in the left superior temporal cortex, which is at least partly attributable to genes involved in the disease (Hedman et al, under review) Cortical surface area and surface area change are heritable, but not associated with higher genetic (or environmental) liability for schizophrenia. Thus, in schizophrenia there is diminished structural brain plasticity. In this thesis no direct associations between brain plasticity and functional significance were investigated in schizophrenia. However, a meta analysis focusing on intelligence quotient change, it was revealed that schizophrenia is characterized by a relative lack of gain in global cognitive abilities over time (Hedman et al, Schizophrenia Research, 2013) Moreover, patients with schizophrenia in the chronic phases of the disease, but not the discordant co twins, show a lack of increase in intelligence quotient over time, thus reflecting that it is probably due to environmental (non genetic) factors related to the disease (Hedman et al, Psychological Medicine, 2012)
Performance characterization and optimization of a synchronized medium scale oil palm fruit processing mill
Year: 2017

Previous studies revealed that sterilization, digestion, and mechanical oil extraction have not been fully mechanized in Nigeria. A synchronized medium scale oil palm fruits processing mill consisting of a boiler, sterilizer, inclined screw conveyor, digester and screw press was developed. Prominent cultivars of Dura and Tenera fruitlets of 20, 30, and 50 years of age were selected for the evaluation of this mill. In this study, the performance evaluation of the unit operations of this mill was characterized. Surface response methodology was employed using STATISTICA Release 7 model: STA862D175437Q to optimize the mill throughput, efficiency and oil yield. The result showed that, the performance efficiency and throughput of boiler, sterilizer, inclined screw conveyor, vertical digester and twin cam screw press were 71.3% and 55.0 L/h, 70% and 75.4 kg/h, 72.7% and 70.2 kg/h, 85.4% and 152.4 kg/h, 83.0% and 190.0 kg/h, respectively. The synchronized medium scale oil palm processing mill had the optimum throughput, efficiency and oil yield of 80.35 kg/h, 84.70% and 29.28% respectively. Practical applications About 90% of annual palm oil production in Nigeria is still being processed with traditional and small scale methods across twenty four oil palm producing states. Over 40 million of rural women and small scale oil palm processors were grossly burdensome with lack of appropriate indigenous technology. It has been reported that about 140 of indigenous fabricators were involved in producing machines for small scale processors both in Nigeria and Ghana including palm oil research institutes, without developing a synchronized mill that can enhance productivity, timeliness and oil yield (Elekwachi, Fadare,  2012;  2011) The unit operations of small scale mills were usually separately installed without instrumentation devices to regulate their processing parameters for optimum oil yield. In this synchronized medium scale oil palm fruits processing mill, fresh oil palm fruits were fully sterilized using the superheated steam generated from biomass fire tube vertical boiler which was synchronized with sterilizer. The sterilized fruits were conveyed through inclined screw conveyor to the steam jacketed digester, which was connected to the twin cam screw press for the hot extraction processing operation. It is a continuous and full sterilization mill, which has increased oil yield tremendously from 17.8% to 29.3% for Tenera cultivar fruitlets. This study presented technical information in term of mill equipment efficiency and throughput; likewise, the type of cultivar and age of palm fruit that enhances overall optimum mill efficiency and oil yield.

Best Practices on High Frequency Radar Deployment and Operation for Ocean Current Measurement
Venue: Frontiers in Marine Science
Year: 2020

High Frequency Radar (HFR) technology refers to land based remote sensing instruments capable of measuring surface currents and ocean waves at ranges up to 200 km or more. HFR technology is widely acknowledged as a cost efficient tool to monitor coastal regions and has potential use to monitor coastal regions all over the world. Globally, the number of HFR stations is steadily increasing. Regional networks provide real time data in support of operational activities such as search and rescue operations, fast response in case of maritime accidents and spill of pollutants, and resource management. Each operator needs a general understanding of the working principles in order to ensure that instruments are managed properly. A set of harmonized quality assurance and quality control procedures is recommended, along with an effective approach to HFR data discovery and dissemination, to provide high quality measurements to the end users. Different documents providing best practices for operation and maintenance have emerged in the past years. They are oriented either to Direction Finding (DF) or Beam Forming (BF) systems, or to specific manufacturer's radar systems. The main objective of this paper is to offer a comprehensive "Best Practices" document in an effort of ensuring consistency between different deployments and harmonized operations of HFR systems. This, regardless of system manufacturer, antenna design and setup. A homogeneous approach is given when possible, general concepts and definitions are introduced in order to provide a framework for both data processing and management steps. Examples are also given from the European HFR users with focus on Near Real Time data flow suitable for operational services.
Three dimensional numerical modeling of hydraulics and morphodynamics of the Schwarzenbach reservoir
Year: 2018

In this study the numerical model SSIIM 2 is used to simulate the flow situation and the suspended sediment transport within the Schwarzenbach reservoir in Germany. Hydrodynamic simulations are carried out to assess the influence of wind forces and different discretization schemes on the calculated flow field. A hydraulic plausibility check is performed based on stationary ADCP measurements to assess the performance of the model. Both the consideration of the wind and the plausibility check using an ADCP are hardly used in large reservoirs so far. The simulation results show a complex flow field with two large (re )circulation zones in the middle of the reservoir, whereby the temporal development of the simulated and measured velocities have comparable characteristics. Moreover, morphodynamic simulations are performed to compute the suspended sediment transport. The results show that the settling behavior of the sediments is mainly influenced by the inflow discharge and the operation level of the reservoir.
Impact of Distance on Outage Probability in IRS NOMA for Beyond 5G Networks
Venue: 2021 IEEE 18th Annual Consumer Communications Networking Conference (CCNC)
Year: 2021

Non orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is envisioned as the solution for increasing capacity and serving exponentially increasing number of devices (users) in beyond 5G networks. Breaking orthogonality, with NOMA users having different channel gain (preferably a cell edge user (CEU) and a cell center user (CCU) are selected and served on the same resource block. In urban areas, impact of blockages may limit the system performance. Impact of blockages is more prominent for the CEU because the CCU's close proximity to the base stations (BS) lowers probability of CCU being blocked. In order to overcome performance degradation due to blockages, the research interest have move towards intelligent reflecting surfaces (IRS) One of the prime utilization of IRS is to improve connectivity of the blocked users. Since IRS comprises of low cost passive elements which reflect a signal incident on them using a certain phase shift, hence, are capable of effectively directing the signal from the BS towards the blocked CEU. Intuitively, the location of IRS from the BS, and from the user should play a vital role in directing the intended signal to the desired user. In the current literature, such phenomenon based on the location of IRS is not considered, and mostly fixed/dedicated IRS are considered for the users, which is not a practical approach, since, the users are mobile. The novel numerical results from the study of proposed NOMA IRS network suggest strong relation between the distance of IRS from the BS and users on the performance of CEU using NOMA.

UTILIZING NUTRITION SERVICES PROVIDERS TO PREVENT LATE LIFE SUICIDE: IMPLEMENTING A RANDOMIZED, CONTROLLED TRIAL
Venue: Innovation in Aging
Year: 2019

A challenge in preventing late life suicide is identifying and responding to persons at risk prior to a suicide attempt. Distressed older adults are less likely to turn to a mental health professional, meaning that community based prevention strategies are vitally important to comprehensive prevention frameworks. Due to their "natural helper" role, nutrition services (NS) volunteers may be well positioned to identify suicide warning signs and respond accordingly. Unfortunately, there is a lack of systematic, empirically tested evaluations of the effectiveness of community based strategies to prevent older adult suicide, including the use of NS volunteers. To remedy this, the authors partnered with several home and community based service organizations to measure the impact of training nutrition services volunteers in suicide prevention skills. The authors will present preliminary findings from this federally funded randomized, controlled trial of suicide prevention training (i.e. ASIST; safeTALK) on late life suicidality and its correlates.
