A Protocol to Examine Surgical Team Communication in a Large Military Medical Center
Venue: Nursing research
Year: 2020

Preventable clinician communication errors are the most frequent root cause of surgical adverse events. Effective communication among surgical team members is an important overall indicator of clinical nursing excellence and is crucial to promote patient safety and reduce healthcare risk.  The purpose of this publication is to describe our research protocol, which will comprehensively investigate surgical team communication and surgical team structure. There are two overall study objectives: (a) to characterize the network factors that influence perioperative clinician communication and (b) to identify how team structure shapes communication effectiveness. Specifically, we will study the association among clinician relationships, surgical team familiarity, surgical team size, and communication effectiveness.  We will use an exploratory, prospective, cross sectional, network centric approach using social network analysis to determine how interdependent clinician relationships influence surgical communication patterns. Targeting an 80% response rate, we will use total population sampling to recruit all clinicians (nurses, surgeons, anesthetists, surgical technologists, students, residents) who directly provide surgical care in the operating room at a large military medical center. We will administer an electronic survey to surgical teams at the end of the surgical day to elicit clinician communication assessments and relational preferences. From the survey questions, we will develop six relational networks (interaction, close working relationship, socialization, advice seeking, advice giving, speaking up/voice) and three models that represent communication effectiveness for each participant and team. We will use various statistical methods to characterize the network factors that shape operating room clinician communication and identify how team structure shapes communication effectiveness.  This study will start enrolling participants in 2020.  We are among the first to comprehensively investigate operating room communication using social network analysis. The results of this study will provide valuable insight into nurse collaboration and communication in interprofessional teams, enable a thoughtful analysis of surgical staffing and perioperative team building, and inform future targeted interventions to improve operating room communication weaknesses.
Physico Chemical Properties and Microbiological Quality of Borehole Water in Four Crowded Areas of Benin City, Nigeria, During Rainfalls
Year: 2018

Boreholes are principal sources of drinking water in Benin city. This water can become contaminated by runoffs, especially during the rainy season, resulting in outbreaks of waterborne diseases.  This study aimed at assessing the microbiological and physicochemical qualities of borehole water from four crowded areas of Benin city, Nigeria.  The Total Coliform Count (TCC) and antibiotic susceptibility test of the bacterial isolates were assessed using standard microbiological methods. The colour, turbidity, pH, total dissolved solid (TDS) nitrate, iron, chromium, copper, and fluoride of the samples were compared with national and international standards for drinking water.  Most physicochemical parameters were within acceptable limits. The mean TCC values of all the samples were higher when compared to standards. The isolated bacteria were Pseudomonas aeruginosa (38% Escherichia coli (32.3% Staphylococcus aureus (20% Klebsiella pneumoniae (4.2% and Enterococcus sp. (5.5% Isolates were sensitive to amoxicillin clavulanic acid, yet showed high resistance to ampicillin and low resistance to ceftriaxone; the predominant pattern of resistance was DOCRAMPR.  Despite the fact that the physicochemical parameters were within acceptable limits when compared to the standards, the water sources still pose health risks. Consequently, constant microbiological monitoring of borehole water is necessary, especially during rainfalls in Benin city.
Food as medicine in psychiatric care: which profession should be responsible for imparting knowledge and use of omega 3 fatty acids in psychiatry.
Venue: Complementary therapies in clinical practice
Year: 2011

The effect of omega 3 fatty acids on depression is well documented. The purpose of this study was to determine if and how food is used as medicine in psychiatric care, especially how omega 3 fatty acids are used as a supplement in the treatment of depression. This is a pilot study with a qualitative design using questionnaires and interviews among nursing students, tutor nurses and psychiatrists. Three main categories emerged: 1. Nutrition is considered important but few evaluations are made. 2. There was a lack of knowledge of the effects of Omega 3. 3. There was an unclear division of responsibility among health personnel. A change in knowledge paradigms and clarification of responsibility is called for if food as medicine is to take its true place in psychiatric care. It is also necessary to include CAM and holistic perspectives. Further research is needed to determine why health education and health workers do not focus on nutrition therapy in psychiatric care. Further research is also needed to reveal both the patients, the GPs and the CAM practitioners' knowledge and attitude to the use of dietary supplements.
A simple method for leaf and branch biomass estimation in Japanese cedar plantations
Venue: Trees
Year: 2019

Key message Leaf and branch biomass in middle aged Japanese cedar plantations can be accurately estimated using a simple method based on the pipe model theory.  A simple method for estimating leaf and branch biomass is needed to properly manage forests of Japanese cedar, a major timber species in Japan. We developed a simple method, based on the pipe model theory, in which leaf biomass was estimated from tree height, height at the crown base, and stem area at breast height. The applicability of the method was examined in Japanese cedar plantations along a topographic gradient in five areas. In middle aged forests 60 years old) in four areas, the leaf and branch biomass per unit stem area at the crown base did not differ between forests of different topographic position within the area. In contrast, the leaf and branch biomass per unit stem area at the crown base differed between the four areas. In old forests 80 years) in Chiba, leaf biomass per unit stem area at the crown base differed between six forests and was lower in larger trees within a particular forest. We conclude that the method investigated herein is applicable to middle aged forests, but it needs to be modified for application to old forests.
Phantom Stock Executive Compensation Plans
Year: 2014

Unlike the popular market value stock options, stock awards and stock appreciation plans, phantom stock plans do not involve ownership of publicly traded stock, although market based stock may be used as a measurement of the phantom stock plan. Another popular method for valuing phantom stock plans is book value (i.e. assets minus liabilities) It is important to note that phantom stock plans can incorporate any design features of a market based plan. However, under FAS 123R, phantom plans will be treated as a liability award and subject to a variable accrual, unlike market based plans which are considered equity awards and fixed accounting using a pricing model. The company has a tax deduction at time of the recipient having taxable income in the same amount of such income.
Tuning the electronic communication in heterobimetallic mixed valence ions of (1 ferrocenyl) and (2 ferrocenyl)indenyl rhodium isomers.
Venue: Chemistry
Year: 2007

A series of heterobimetallic complexes of general structure [RhL(2){eta(5) (2 ferrocenyl)indenyl} (L(2)=cod, nbd, L=CO; cod=cyclooctadiene; nbd=norbornadiene) has been synthesised with the aim of tuning the metal metal interaction in their mixed valence ions generated both by chemical and electrochemical oxidation, and the results are compared with those obtained for [RhL(2){eta(5) (1 ferrocenyl)indenyl} isomers. Crystallographic studies and DFT calculations provide a detailed description of the structural and electronic features of these complexes evidencing a significant difference in the extent of planarity of the flexible bridging ligand between the 1 and 2 ferrocenyl isomers. Independent experimental probes, in particular the potential splitting in the cyclic voltammograms and the IT bands in the near IR spectra, are rationalised in the framework of Marcus Hush theory and at quantum chemistry level by DFT and TD DFT methods. These methods allow us to establish a trend based on the magnitude of iron rhodium electronic coupling H(ab) ranging from valence trapped to almost delocalised ions. The quasi planar bridge and the olefin ancillary ligands make [Rh(nbd){eta(5) (2 ferrocenyl)indenyl} and [Rh(cod){eta(5) (2 ferrocenyl)indenyl} rare examples of heterobimetallic systems which can be classified as borderline Class II/Class III species.
Horizon Run 4 Simulation: Coupled Evolution of Galaxies and Large scale Structures of the Universe
Year: 2015

The Horizon Run 4 is a cosmological $N$ body simulation designed for the study of coupled evolution between galaxies and large scale structures of the Universe, and for the test of galaxy formation models. Using $6300^3$ gravitating particles in a cubic box of $L_{\rm box} 3150 ~h^ 1}\rm Mpc} we build a dense forest of halo merger trees to trace the halo merger history with a halo mass resolution scale down to $M_s 2.7 \times 10^{11} h^ 1}\rm M_\odot} We build a set of particle and halo data, which can serve as testbeds for comparison of cosmological models and gravitational theories with observations. We find that the FoF halo mass function shows a substantial deviation from the universal form with tangible redshift evolution of amplitude and shape. At higher redshifts, the amplitude of the mass function is lower, and the functional form is shifted toward larger values of \ln (1/\sigma) We also find that the baryonic acoustic oscillation feature in the two point correlation function of mock galaxies becomes broader with a peak position moving to smaller scales and the peak amplitude decreasing for increasing directional cosine \mu$ compared to the linear predictions. From the halo merger trees built from halo data at 75 redshifts, we measure the half mass epoch of halos and find that less massive halos tend to reach half of their current mass at higher redshifts. Simulation outputs including snapshot data, past lightcone space data, and halo merger data are available at this http URL
Cognitive Discrepancy Models for Specific Learning Disabilities Identification: Simulations of Psychometric Limitations
Venue: Psychological assessment
Year: 2017

Few studies have investigated specific learning disabilities (SLD) identification methods based on the identification of patterns of processing strengths and weaknesses (PSW) We investigated the reliability of SLD identification decisions emanating from different achievement test batteries for 1 method to operationalize the PSW approach: the concordance/discordance model (C/DM; Hale Fiorello, 2004) Two studies examined the level of agreement for SLD identification decisions between 2 different simulated, highly correlated achievement test batteries. Study 1 simulated achievement and cognitive data across a wide range of potential latent correlations between an achievement deficit, a cognitive strength and a cognitive weakness. Latent correlations permitted simulation of case level data at specified reliabilities for cognitive abilities and 2 achievement observations. C/DM criteria were applied and resulting SLD classifications from the 2 achievement test batteries were compared for agreement. Overall agreement and negative agreement were high, but positive agreement was low (0.33 0.59) across all conditions. Study 2 isolated the effects of reduced test reliability on agreement for SLD identification decisions resulting from different test batteries. Reductions in reliability of the 2 achievement tests resulted in average decreases in positive agreement of 0.13. Conversely, reductions in reliability of cognitive measures resulted in small average increases in positive agreement (0.0 0.06) Findings from both studies are consistent with prior research demonstrating the inherent instability of classifications based on C/DM criteria. Within complex ipsative SLD identification models like the C/DM, small variations in test selection can have deleterious effects on classification reliability.
Internalization of G protein coupled receptors: Implication in receptor function, physiology and diseases.
Venue: Best practice research. Clinical endocrinology metabolism
Year: 2018

G protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest family of membrane receptors and mediate the effects of numerous hormones and neurotransmitters. The nearly 1000 GPCRs encoded by the human genome regulate virtually all physiological functions and are implicated in the pathogenesis of prevalent human diseases such as thyroid disorders, hypertension or Parkinson's disease. As a result, 30 50% of all currently prescribed drugs are targeting these receptors. Once activated, GPCRs induce signals at the cell surface. This is often followed by internalization, a process that results in the transfer of receptors from the plasma membrane to membranes of the endosomal compartment. Internalization was initially thought to be mainly implicated in signal desensitization, a mechanism of adaptation to prolonged receptor stimulation. However, several unexpected functions have subsequently emerged. Most notably, accumulating evidence indicates that internalization can induce prolonged receptor signaling on intracellular membranes, which is apparently required for at least some biological effects of hormones like TSH, LH and adrenaline. These findings reveal an even stronger connection between receptor internalization and signaling than previously thought. Whereas new studies are just beginning to reveal an important physiological role for GPCR signaling after internalization and ways to exploit it for therapeutic purposes, future investigations will be required to explore its involvement in human disease.
Role adaptation of human and robot in collaborative tasks
Venue: 2015 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA)
Year: 2015

In this paper, a role adaptation method is developed for human robot collaboration based on game theory. This role adaptation is engaged whenever the interaction force changes, causing the proportion of control sharing between human and robot to vary. In one boundary condition, the robot takes full control of the system when there is no human intervention. In the other boundary condition, it becomes a follower when the human exhibits strong intention to lead the task. Experimental results show that the proposed method yields better overall performance than fixed role interactions.
Self Supervised Representations Improve End to End Speech Translation
Venue: INTERSPEECH
Year: 2020

End to end speech to text translation can provide a simpler and smaller system but is facing the challenge of data scarcity. Pre training methods can leverage unlabeled data and have been shown to be effective on data scarce settings. In this work, we explore whether self supervised pre trained speech representations can benefit the speech translation task in both high and low resource settings, whether they can transfer well to other languages, and whether they can be effectively combined with other common methods that help improve low resource end to end speech translation such as using a pre trained high resource speech recognition system. We demonstrate that self supervised pre trained features can consistently improve the translation performance, and cross lingual transfer allows to extend to a variety of languages without or with little tuning.

The GMCPHD tracker applied to the Clutter09 dataset
Venue: Proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Information Fusion
Year: 2013

The contribution of this paper is twofold: first, it exposes the tracking community to a dataset previously used in acoustics studies and second, it explores the use of the features in this real dataset in clutter removal. For the latter, the Minimal Redundancy Maximal Relevance (MRMR) technique was chosen for feature selection due to its flexibility on big data; the top features ranked by MRMR are sent to a C4.5 decision tree for classification. Contacts that were not identified as clutter are given to the Gaussian Mixture Cardinalized Probability Hypothesis Density (GMCPHD) tracker. Several metrics show that a very small number of features can be employed for satisfactory tracking performance.
Concetta Cavallini, Essais sur la langue de Montaigne. Theories et Pratiques
Year: 2019

Una delle caratteristiche piu interessanti dei testi di Montaigne e senza dubbio la lingua, sia dal punto di vista dell'organizzazione sintattica, sia da quello dell'argomentazione concettuale. L'A. chiarisce fin dall'inizio che sarebbe riduttivo parlare solo di maitrise rhetorique, in quanto si tratta di una questione piu profonda che investe l'intero mondo concettuale di Montaigne. Manca, in realta, a livello di studi, una riflessione completa e articolata sulla sua lingua e tutti gli appro.
Evaluation of alkali activated mortars containing high volume waste ceramic powder and fly ash replacing GBFS
Venue: Construction and Building Materials
Year: 2019

Traditional Portland cement can be effectively substituted by alkali activated binders. Not only can alkali activated binders save energy and reduce CO2 emission but they can also augment the durability performance of concrete as well as aid in resolving the landfill problems. It is well known that extensive quantities of calcined clay waste are created every year by the ceramic industry, of which a significant amount is used in landfills. It is thus more appropriate to reuse this waste efficiently. This study investigated the impacts on sustainability of waste ceramic tile powder (WCP) based alkali activated mortars (AAMs) incorporating fly ash (FA) as a replacement of ground blast furnace slag (GBFS) which were exposed to various hostile environments. Binders were prepared by maintaining the WCP content at 50% in all alkali activated mortars (AAMs) and FA replacing GBFS by 10% 20% 30% and 40% Durability properties were evaluated which included elevated temperatures, sulphate and acid attack, drying shrinkage, freezing thawing and wet dry cycles, as well as water permeability. The findings suggested that freezing thawing resistance increased and better durability was displayed by increasing the FA content in AAMs. Furthermore, AAMs with high FA content led to enhance the performance in terms of sulphate and acid environments and elevated temperatures. Apart from the increased durability, replacing GBFS with FA also resulted in decreased energy consumption, AAMs cost, and CO2 emission.

Hegel's Master Slave Dialectic and The Relationship between God and Believer
Year: 2017

In his Phenomenology, Hegel characterizes self conscious ness as desire and gives an account of master slave relationship as an example of how consciousness is brought to the level of self cons ciousness as a result of the interaction of two consciousnesses. In this paper, I will firstly try to explain masterslave dialectic, and then to analyze whether it can be useful to understand the relations between God and believer man. Second, if this dialectic turns out to be useless in such an endeavour, I will try to explain why this is so. It should be said that Hegelian master slave dialectic is very influential for an understanding of the nature of self consciousness. It is also very help ful in engaging with the difficult questions both of religion and of philosophy: how is one related to many or how does divine interact with the world and human beings? However, Hegel's master slave dialectic proposes an answer which has certain deficiencies, especially, in ex plicating the nature of the relation between God and believer. I will to demonstrate why this dialectic can mislead us in understanding how God and believr interact.
Energy Efficient Cooperative Computing in Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Cloud Computing
Year: 2018

Advances in future computing to support emerging sensor applications are becoming more important as the need to better utilize computation and communication resources and make them energy efficient. As a result, it is predicted that intelligent devices and networks, including mobile wireless sensor networks (MWSN) will become the new interfaces to support future applications. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to minimize energy consumption of processing an application in MWSN while satisfying a certain completion time requirement. Specifically, by introducing the concept of cooperation, the logics and related computation tasks can be optimally partitioned, offloaded and executed with the help of peer sensor nodes, thus the proposed solution can be treated as a joint optimization of computing and networking resources. Moreover, for a network with multiple mobile wireless sensor nodes, we propose energy efficient cooperation node selection strategies to offer a tradeoff between fairness and energy consumption. Our performance analysis is supplemented by simulation results to show the significant energy saving of the proposed solution.
