Global supply chain design : A literature review and critique

In this paper, we review decision support models for the design of global supply chains, and assess the fit between the research literature in this area and the practical issues of global supply chain design. The classification scheme for this review is based on ongoing and emerging issues in global supply chain management and includes review dimensions for (1) decisions addressed in the model, (2) performance metrics, (3) the degree to which the model supports integrated decision processes, and (4) globalization considerations. We conclude that although most models resolve a difficult feature associated with globalization, few models address the practical global supply chain design problem in its entirety. We close the paper with recommendations for future research in global supply chain modeling that is both forward-looking and practically oriented. 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Cyclic deadlock prediction and avoidance for zone-controlled AGV system

Automated guided vehicles (AGVs) are now becoming popular in automated materials handling systems, flexible manufacturing systems and even containers handling applications at seaports. Its performance affects the efficiency of the entire system. Deadlock formation is a serious problem as it stalls the AGVS. The objective of this paper is to develop an efficient AGV deadlock prediction and avoidance algorithm for container port operations. Deadlock in a broad sense is a situation in which at least a part of the system stalls. There are a lot of situations in which the system may stall and most of these situations can be avoided through the control and navigation system. This paper discusses the development of an efficient strategy for predicting and avoiding the deadlocks in a large scale AGVS A variety of deadlock-detecting algorithms are available, but these methods work mainly for manufacturing system where the network layout is simple and uses only a small number of AGVs. The AGVS under study has complex layout and involves close to 80 AGVs. The proposed solution is implemented using the Automod simulation software, and the performance of the technique is presented. Simulation shows that all the potential deadlock situations can be detected and avoided via this methodology. Also, the proposed strategy is computationally efficient and is able to provide the movement decision to the vehicles within the 1.5-s sampling time. r 2002 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.
Applying multi-agent technique in multi-section flexible manufacturing system

In the highly competitive market, cooperative multi-agent transaction and negotiation mechanism have become an important research topic. This paper uses multi-agent technology to construct a multi-section flexible manufacturing system (FMS) model, and utilizes simulation to build a manufacturing environment based on JADE framework for multi-agent to combine with dispatching rules, such as shortest imminent processing time (SIPT), first come first serve (FCFS) earliest due date (EDD), and Buffer Sequence. This paper finds that using multi-agent technique for multi-section FMS model can enhance the production efficiency in practice. Meanwhile, in this study, multi-agent systems combined with dynamic dispatching can be used to identify the best dispatching rules combination for achieving largest throughput, and thus it can provide the reference for production scheduling in advance. 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

Providing Research Graph Data in JSON-LD Using Schema.org

In this position paper, we describe a pilot project that provides Research Graph records to external web services using JSON-LD. The Research Graph database contains a largescale graph that links research datasets (i.e., data used to support research) to funding records (i.e. grants), publications and researcher records such as ORCID profiles. This database was derived from the work of the Research Data Alliance Working Group on Data Description Registry Interoperability (DDRI), and curated using the Research Data Switchboard open source software. By being available in Linked Data format, the Research Graph database is more accessible to third-party web services over the Internet, which thus opens the opportunity to connect to the rest of the world in the semantic format. The primary purpose of this pilot project is to evaluate the feasibility of converting registry objects in Research Graph to JSON-LD by accessing widely used vocabularies published at Schema.org. In this paper, we provide examples of publications, datasets and grants from international research institutions such as CERN INSPIREHEP, National Computational Infrastructure (NCI) in Australia, and Australian Research Council (ARC). Furthermore, we show how these Research Graph records are made semantically available as Linked Data through using Schema.org. The mapping between Research Graph schema and Schema.org is available on GitHub repository.

Who Invented the Reverse Mode of Differentiation ?

Nick Trefethen [13] listed automatic differentiation as one of the 30 great numerical algorithms of the last century. He kindly credited the present author with facilitating the rebirth of the key idea, namely the reverse mode. In fact, there have been many incarnations of this reversal technique, which has been suggested by several people from various fields since the late 1960s, if not earlier. Seppo Linnainmaa (Lin76) of Helsinki says the idea came to him on a sunny afternoon in a Copenhagen park in 1970. He used it as a tool for estimating the effects of arithmetic rounding errors on the results of complex expressions. Gerardi Ostrowski (OVB71) discovered and used it some five years earlier in the context of certain process models in chemical engineering. Here and throughout references that are not listed in the present bibliography are noted in parentheses and can be found in the book [7]. Also in the sixties Hachtel et al. [6] considered the optimization of electronic circuits using the costate equation of initial value problems and its discretizations to compute gradients in the reverse mode for explicitly time-dependent problems. Here we see, possibly for the first time, the close connection between the reverse mode of discrete evaluation procedures and continuous adjoints of differential equations. In the 1970s Iri analyzed the properties of dual and adjoint networks. In the 1980s he became one of the key researchers on the reverse mode. From a memory and numerical stability point of view the most difficult aspect of the reverse mode is the reversal of a program. This problem was discussed in the context of Turing Machines by Benett (Ben73), who foreshadowed the use of checkpointing as a tradeoff between numerical computational effort and memory requirement.

A New Technique to Design Circularly Polarized Microstrip Antenna by Fractal Defected Ground Structure

A new technique to design single-feed circularly polarized (CP) microstrip antenna is proposed. The CP radiation is obtained by adjusting the dimension of the etched fractal defected ground structure (FDGS) in the ground plane. Parameter studies of the FDGS are given to illustrate the way to achieve CP radiation. The CP microstrip antennas with the second and third iterative FDGS are fabricated and measured. The measured 10-dB return-loss bandwidth of the CP microstrip antenna is about 30 MHz (1.558 to 1.588 GHz), while its 3-dB axial-ratio bandwidth is 6 MHz (1.572 to 1.578 GHz). The gain across the CP band is between 1.7 and 2.2 dBic.
The Aneka platform and QoS-driven resource provisioning for elastic applications on hybrid Clouds

Cloud computing alters the way traditional software systems are built and run by introducing a utilitybased model for delivering IT infrastructure, platforms, applications, and services. The consolidation of this new paradigm in both enterprises and academia demanded reconsideration in the way IT resources are used, so Cloud computing can be used together with available resources. A case for the utilization of Clouds for increasing the capacity of computing infrastructures is Desktop Grids: these infrastructures typically provide best effort execution of high throughput jobs and other workloads that fit the model of the platform. By enhancing Desktop Grid infrastructures with Cloud resources, it is possible to offer QoS to users, motivating the adoption of Desktop Grids as a viable platform for application execution. In this paper,we describe howAneka, a platform for developing scalable applications on the Cloud, supports such a vision by provisioning resources fromdifferent sources and supporting different applicationmodels.We highlight the key concepts and features of Aneka that support the integration between Desktop Grids and Clouds and present an experiment showing the performance of this integration. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.

The Adult Sensory Profile: measuring patterns of sensory processing.

OBJECTIVE
This article describes a series of studies designed to evaluate the reliability and validity of the Adult Sensory Profile.


METHOD
Expert judges evaluated the construct validity of the items. Coefficient alpha, factor analysis, and correlations of items with subscales determined item reliability, using data from 615 adult sensory profiles. A subsample of 20 adults furnished skin conductance data. A heterogeneous group of 93 adults completed the revised Adult Sensory Profile, and item reliability was reexamined.


RESULTS
Expert judgment indicated that items could be categorized according to Dunn's Model of Sensory Processing. Results suggested reasonable item reliability for all subscales except for the Sensation Avoiding subscale. Skin conductance measures detected distinct patterns of physiological responses consistent with the four-quadrant model. Revision of the Adult Sensory Profile resulted in improved reliability of the Sensation Avoiding subscale.


CONCLUSION
The series of studies provides evidence to support the four subscales of the Adult Sensory Profile as distinct constructs of sensory processing preferences.
The core role of the nurse practitioner: practice, professionalism and clinical leadership.

AIM
To draw on empirical evidence to illustrate the core role of nurse practitioners in Australia and New Zealand.


BACKGROUND
Enacted legislation provides for mutual recognition of qualifications, including nursing, between New Zealand and Australia. As the nurse practitioner role is relatively new in both countries, there is no consistency in role expectation and hence mutual recognition has not yet been applied to nurse practitioners. A study jointly commissioned by both countries' Regulatory Boards developed information on the core role of the nurse practitioner, to develop shared competency and educational standards. Reporting on this study's process and outcomes provides insights that are relevant both locally and internationally.


METHOD
This interpretive study used multiple data sources, including published and grey literature, policy documents, nurse practitioner program curricula and interviews with 15 nurse practitioners from the two countries. Data were analysed according to the appropriate standard for each data type and included both deductive and inductive methods. The data were aggregated thematically according to patterns within and across the interview and material data.


FINDINGS
The core role of the nurse practitioner was identified as having three components: dynamic practice, professional efficacy and clinical leadership. Nurse practitioner practice is dynamic and involves the application of high level clinical knowledge and skills in a wide range of contexts. The nurse practitioner demonstrates professional efficacy, enhanced by an extended range of autonomy that includes legislated privileges. The nurse practitioner is a clinical leader with a readiness and an obligation to advocate for their client base and their profession at the systems level of health care.


CONCLUSION
A clearly articulated and research informed description of the core role of the nurse practitioner provides the basis for development of educational and practice competency standards. These research findings provide new perspectives to inform the international debate about this extended level of nursing practice.


RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE
The findings from this research have the potential to achieve a standardised approach and internationally consistent nomenclature for the nurse practitioner role.
Conditional Generative Adversarial Nets

Generative Adversarial Nets [8] were recently introduced as a novel way to train generative models. In this work we introduce the conditional version of generative adversarial nets, which can be constructed by simply feeding the data, y, we wish to condition on to both the generator and discriminator. We show that this model can generate MNIST digits conditioned on class labels. We also illustrate how this model could be used to learn a multi-modal model, and provide preliminary examples of an application to image tagging in which we demonstrate how this approach can generate descriptive tags which are not part of training labels.
Efficiency of low power audio amplifiers and loudspeakers

In this paper we look at the load presented to audio amplifiers by real transducers. We consider the power losses in Class-AB and Class-D amplifier topologies, and determine that in order to predict efficiency it is necessary to consider the amplifier/transducer combination. The ability of the class-D amplifier to recycle quadrature load current offers new ways to improve efficiency. INTRODUCTION Class-D amplifiers are beginning to become viable alternatives to the Class-AB amplifier because of the reducing cost of suitable devices. There is particular interest in developing them for low power applications where their intrinsic efficiency advantages are important. The operation of Class-D amplifiers is very different to Class-AB amplifiers and this has implications for other components in the audio chain. Conventionally the performance of audio amplifiers is considered using a pure resistive load of four or eight ohms. The origin of this lies in the nominal impedance given to electro-magnetic loudspeakers. The true impedance of an electro-magnetic loudspeaker will vary over the operating frequency range, but the variability between individual real transducers makes the definition of a more realistic ‘bench-mark’ load impractical. Other audio transducers also have a complex impedance. Transducers which utilise piezo electric elements have a input impedance that is highly reactive. The load presented to the amplifier is almost entirely capacitive. The power output and efficiency of an amplifier are dependent load impedance and so the resistive load performance may not resemble to the operation of the amplifier in real situations. In this paper we will look at the true load presented to amplifiers by the transducer and derive a more accurate measure of overall efficiency. GENERAL AMPLIFIER EFFICIENCY The electrical efficiency of an amplifier is defined as the ratio of the power developed in the load to the power drawn from the DC supply. Using simple linear analysis we can determine the efficiency of amplifier output stages and the dependence of the efficiency on load parameters. In this section the following symbols are used; Vo Output voltage Vs Supply rail voltage RL Load resistance Ibias Class AB quiescent bias current φ Load phase angle Zload Load impedance L Class D filter inductance Rin Resistance of filter inductor RDson ‘On’ state resistance of switching devices fs Class D Switching frequency Class-AB resistive case A simple Class-AB output stage is shown in figure 1. A complementary pair of output devices operate over their linear region to amplify the signal. When the devices are operated in the linear region there will be current flowing through them whilst there is a voltage across them, this will give rise to power dissipation, and hence reduce efficiency. The devices also need a quiescent bias to reduce crossover distortion as one device takes over from the other. Load
Impact of a contemplative end-of-life training program: being with dying.

OBJECTIVE
Health care professionals report a lack of skills in the psychosocial and spiritual aspects of caring for dying people and high levels of moral distress, grief, and burnout. To address these concerns, the "Being with Dying: Professional Training Program in Contemplative End-of-Life Care" (BWD) was created. The premise of BWD, which is based on the development of mindfulness and receptive attention through contemplative practice, is that cultivating stability of mind and emotions enables clinicians to respond to others and themselves with compassion. This article describes the impact of BWD on the participants.


METHODS
Ninety-five BWD participants completed an anonymous online survey; 40 completed a confidential open-ended telephone interview.


RESULTS
Four main themes-the power of presence, cultivating balanced compassion, recognizing grief, and the importance of self-care-emerged in the interviews and were supported in the survey data. The interviewees considered BWD's contemplative and reflective practices meaningful, useful, and valuable and reported that BWD provided skills, attitudes, behaviors, and tools to change how they worked with the dying and bereaved.


SIGNIFICANCE OF RESULTS
The quality of presence has the potential to transform the care of dying people and the caregivers themselves. Cultivating this quality within themselves and others allows clinicians to explore alternatives to exclusively intellectual, procedural, and task-oriented approaches when caring for dying people. BWD provides a rare opportunity to engage in practices and methods that cultivate the stability of mind and emotions that may facilitate compassionate care of dying patients, families, and caregivers.
Clinical practice guidelines for diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder in adults and children in the UK: a narrative review

BACKGROUND
Research suggests that diagnostic procedures for Autism Spectrum Disorder are not consistent across practice and that diagnostic rates can be affected by contextual and social drivers. The purpose of this review was to consider how the content of clinical practice guidelines shapes diagnoses of Autism Spectrum Disorder in the UK; and investigate where, within those guidelines, social factors and influences are considered.


METHODS
We electronically searched multiple databases (NICE Evidence Base; TRIP; Social Policy and Practice; US National Guidelines Clearinghouse; HMIC; The Cochrane Library; Embase; Global health; Ovid; PsychARTICLES; PsychINFO) and relevant web sources (government, professional and regional NHS websites) for clinical practice guidelines. We extracted details of key diagnostic elements such as assessment process and diagnostic tools. A qualitative narrative analysis was conducted to identify social factors and influences.


RESULTS
Twenty-one documents were found and analysed. Guidelines varied in recommendations for use of diagnostic tools and assessment procedures. Although multidisciplinary assessment was identified as the 'ideal' assessment, some guidelines suggested in practice one experienced healthcare professional was sufficient. Social factors in operational, interactional and contextual areas added complexity to guidelines but there were few concrete recommendations as to how these factors should be operationalized for best diagnostic outcomes.


CONCLUSION
Although individual guidelines appeared to present a coherent and systematic assessment process, they varied enough in their recommendations to make the choices available to healthcare professionals particularly complex and confusing. We recommend a more explicit acknowledgement of social factors in clinical practice guidelines with advice about how they should be managed and operationalised to enable more consistency of practice and transparency for those coming for diagnosis.
