Early Hospital Mortality Prediction Using Vital Signals
Reza Sadeghi, Tanvi Banerjee, William Lee Romine
62 citationsOpen access (CC-BY)OpenAlex
Show abstractHide abstract
Early hospital mortality prediction is critical as intensivists strive to make efficient medical decisions about the severely ill patients staying in intensive care units (ICUs). As a result, various methods have been developed to address this problem based on clinical records. However, some of the laboratory test results are time-consuming and need to be processed. In this paper, we propose a novel method to predict mortality using features extracted from the heart signals of patients within the first hour of ICU admission. In order to predict the risk, quantitative features have been computed based on the heart rate signals of ICU patients suffering cardiovascular diseases. Each signal is described in terms of 12 statistical and signal-based features. The extracted features are fed into eight classifiers: decision tree, linear discriminant, logistic regression, support vector machine (SVM), random forest, boosted trees, Gaussian SVM, and K-nearest neighborhood (K-NN). To derive insight into the performance of the proposed method, several experiments have been conducted using the…

A quality annotated corpus is essential to research. Despite the re- cent focus of the Web science community on cyberbullying research, the community lacks standard benchmarks. This paper provides both a quality annotated corpus and an o ensive words lexicon capturing di erent types of harassment content: (i) sexual, (ii) racial, (iii) appearance-related, (iv) intellectual, and (v) political1. We rst crawled data from Twitter using this content-tailored o ensive lexicon. As mere presence of an o ensive word is not a reliable indicator of harassment, human judges annotated tweets for the presence of harassment. Our corpus consists of 25,000 annotated tweets for the ve types of harassment content and is available on the Git repository2.

Shear Band Formation in Amorphous Materials Under Oscillatoryshear deformation
Nikolai V. Priezjev
18 citationsOpen access (CC-BY)OpenAlex
Show abstractHide abstract
The effect of periodic shear on strain localization in disordered solids is investigated using molecular dynamics simulations. We consider a binary mixture of one million atoms annealed to a low temperature with different cooling rates and then subjected to oscillatory shear deformation with a strain amplitude slightly above the critical value. It is found that the yielding transition occurs during one cycle but the accumulation of irreversible displacements and initiation of the shear band proceed over larger number of cycles for more slowly annealed glasses. The spatial distribution and correlation function of nonaffine displacements reveal that their collective dynamics changes from homogeneously distributed small clusters to a system-spanning shear band. The analysis of spatially averaged profiles of nonaffine displacements indicates that the location of a shear band in periodically loaded glasses can be identified at least several cycles before yielding. These insights are important for development of novel processing methods and prediction of the fatigue lifetime of metallic…

Model of Deep Nonvolcanic Tremor Part I: Ambient and Triggered Tremor
Gershenzon, Naum I., Bambakidis, Gust
9 citationsOpen access (CC-BY)OpenAlex
Show abstractHide abstract
There is evidence of triggering of tremor by seismic waves emanating from distant large earthquakes. The frequency content of triggered and ambient tremor are largely identical, suggesting that tremor does not depend directly on the nature of the source. We show here that the model of plate dynamics developed earlier by us is an appropriate tool for describing the onset of tremor. In the framework of this model, tremor is an internal response of a fault to failure triggered by external disturbances. The model predicts generation of radiation in a frequency range defined by the fault parameters. Other specific features predicted are: (1) the upper limit of the size of the emitting area is a few dozen kilometers; (2) tremor accompanies earthquakes and aseismic slip; (3) the frequency content of tremor depends on the type of failure. The model also explains why a tremor has no clear impulsive phase, in contrast to earthquakes. A comparatively small effective normal stress (hence a high fluid pressure) is required to make the model consistent with observed tremor parameters. Our model…

Although there is an emerging trend towards generating embeddings for primarily unstructured data and, recently, for structured data, no systematic suite for measuring the quality of embeddings has been proposed yet. This deficiency is further sensed with respect to embeddings generated for structured data because there are no concrete evaluation metrics measuring the quality of the encoded structure as well as semantic patterns in the embedding space. In this paper, we introduce a framework containing three distinct tasks concerned with the individual aspects of ontological concepts: (i) the categorization aspect, (ii) the hierarchical aspect, and (iii) the relational aspect. Then, in the scope of each task, a number of intrinsic metrics are proposed for evaluating the quality of the embeddings. Furthermore, w.r.t. this framework, multiple experimental studies were run to compare the quality of the available embedding models. Employing this framework in future research can reduce misjudgment and provide greater insight about quality comparisons of embeddings for ontological…

Show abstractHide abstract
Dementia is a chronic disorder of the mental processes generated by brain injury or disease, and is characterized by gradual, irreversible loss of memory, judgment, functional abilities, health, and identity. While dementia can occur in individuals that would not be considered "aging" it primarily occurs in people over 60 (Christodoulou, 2012). Dementia recognition and assessment in prison is currently an overlooked issue in the United States. There are few examples of research regarding best practices for addressing dementia in corrections, including the standard protocols, policies, and procedures for screening and managing the needs of inmates with dementia. This qualitative study was designed to collect data that will inform best practice recommendations for dementia recognition and assessment in the prison population. Seven Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections employees from three correctional institutions were interviewed using a semi-structured format to gather data related to current dementia recognition and assessment practices. Participant responses were…

Multi-Sensor Approach to Determine the Effect of Geometry on Microstructure in Additive Manufacturing
Joseph Walker
3 citationsOpen access (CC-BY)OpenAlex
Show abstractHide abstract
Laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) is an additive manufacturing technique used for making complex parts through a layer-by-layer process with fine feature resolution. However, the layer-by-layer process, with complex scanning patterns within each layer, introduces variability in thermal behavior leading to inconsistent microstructure and defects. The in- situ process monitoring approach in this work uses sensors including a high-speed visible camera, thermal camera, and spectrometer to evaluate each location in the LPBF process. Each sensor focuses on a different process phenomenon such as the melt pool or thermal behavior. An experimental study, using metallographic analysis and collection of sensor data, is used to determine the influence of processing parameters and geometric changes on the final microstructure of Alloy 718. The multi-sensor approach creates a comprehensive view of the microstructural changes. Combining in-situ process monitoring with process control allows for the prediction of part quality and reliable material properties.

This book features theorized narratives from academics who inhabit marginalized identity positions, including, among others, academics with non-normative genders, sexualities, and relationships; nontenured faculty; racial and ethnic minorities; scholars with HIV, depression and anxiety, and other disabilities; immigrants and international students; and poor and working-class faculty and students. The chapters in this volume explore the ways in which marginalized identities fundamentally shape and impact the academic experience; thus, the contributors in this collection demonstrate how academic outsiderism works both within the confines of their college or university systems, and a broader matrix of community, state, and international relations. With an emphasis on the inherent intersectionality of identity positions, this book addresses the broad matrix of ways academics navigate their particular locations as marginalized subjects.

Show abstractHide abstract
Most research studies have focused on profiling serial killers but have not heavily utilized geographic profiling to complete this work. The purpose of this study is to determine whether geographic profiling software programs can assist in serial murder cases. The study will utilize CrimeStat geographical profiling software to look at the significance of disposal or dump sites, the residence of the killer, and the distance between the dumpsite and the serial killer’s residence. This research utilizes a mix -methods approach (case studies and GIS analysis) to analyze five solved case studies of male serial murderers to determine whether they live within the search area, utilizing the Circle Hypothesis. This work also examines the extent to which mental health and intelligence may mediate an offender’s decision regarding the location of their disposal or dump site. Research findings indicated that the serial killers live and dump their victims within the search area established by the Circle Hypothesis. In general, findings were inconclusive regarding the impact of mental health or IQ…

Undertaken study assessed the level of ecological knowledge among forest guards in southern Nigeria. Descriptive survey research design was used for study. A structured questionnaire was administered to 60 respondents that are employed by forest guards system. Central question the study attempts to answer is the level of knowledge of the ecosystem among forest guards. Analysis of data revealed that forest guards have inadequate knowledge of ecosystem. Calculated mean score of respondents was 14.25. This mean score is lower than theoretical mean of 16 (80%). A binomial test revealed that fairly high number of respondents had inadequate knowledge of ecosystem which affects their level of job performance. It was recommended by researchers that regular training and retraining of these forest guards should be strictly adopted and effectively implemented by forestry officials. Moreover, further research should be embarked upon to ascertain other factors that might influence the poor work performance of forest guards other than their level of knowledge about the ecosystem.

Topics include XZ and XX reliability and validity. In theory tests these are important because low reliability/validity in XZ or XX may mean that a significant interaction or quadratic will be NS or of opposite sign in its next model test. Other topics include estimating categorical (nominal) variables, and improving measures that are in serious trouble--ones with low Average Variance Extracted (AVE), or unacceptable model-to-data fit (i.e., only a 3-indicator specification fits the data, etc.)

The question above is one Lugones considers in her attempt to "put into words" and "participate in" the sense of agency that works against oppression in its various forms (IP 7). This sense of agency or uactive subjectivity" defined by Lugones rejects a modern understanding of self as unitary and of intentionality "as residing in and emanating from the individual or from monolithic collectives" (TSC 210). lnstead, intentionalities of the resistant-oppressed are enacted "between rather than in subjects," as well as "between worlds of sense," in "a long•winded intersubjective project" (208-9). My main goal in this chapter is to highlight the significance of and links between Lugones's longstanding theory of active subjectivity and her later work on complex communication in relationship to feminist phenomenological conceptions of selfhood. 1 This discussion illuminates the role of what I call a lived sense of "self-in-coaltion" in work across differences.

Background/Aim: Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are chemical compounds used in consumer products and are linked with increase in cholesterol, thyroid disease, and pregnancy-induced hypertension. However, their association with lung function is not completely understood. Methods: Cross sectional 2011-12 U.S. population data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) was used (N=1,450, aged 12 to 79 years, 52% men). Serum concentration of four PFASs, perfluorononanoic acid (PFNA), perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS), and perfluorohexane sulfonic acid (PFHxS) were assessed using mass spectrometry and were categorized into tertiles. Lung function was measured by spirometry as forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), and the ratio of FVC/FEV1 (%). Sex stratified adjusted linear regression analysis was used to predict lung function with PFASs tertiles. Results: In men all four PFASs serum concentrations and lung function was higher, except FVC/FEV1 (%) which was lower than women (p Conclusion:…

The demographics of United States medical schools are changing to include an increasing number of older students, men and women who have switched careers into medicine, those with post-graduate degrees before starting medical school, and other diverse backgrounds. These “non-traditional” students today are still a minority (an annual questionnaire sent out to matriculating medical students by the Association of American Medical Colleges last year showed as many as 90% of students knew they wanted to study medicine by the end of undergraduate1) but make up a growing slice of the demographics of current U.S. medical students. Much research has been done on defining the demographics of this new population of medical students as well as the unique challenges they face. Recruitment efforts have been made to attract students from non-medical backgrounds to include military experience2, advanced degrees3, those from ethnic and social minorities4, older students with families5, and those making a switch from non-medical careers6.

Show abstractHide abstract
Security has become one of the most significant concerns for our cyberspace. Securing the cyberspace, however, becomes increasingly challenging. This can be attributed to the rapidly growing diversities and complexity of the modern cyberspace. Specifically, it is not any more dominated by connected personal computers (PCs); instead, it is greatly characterized by cyber-physical systems (CPS), embedded systems, dynamic services, and human-computer interactions. Securing modern cyberspace therefore calls for a multi-faceted approach capable of systematically integrating these emerging characteristics. This dissertation presents our novel and significant solutions towards this direction. Specifically, we have devised automated, systematic security solutions to three critical aspects of our modern cyberspace including i) cyber-physical systems, ii) dynamic web services, and iii) social networks. This dissertation makes the following contributions. First, we have conducted systematic vulnerability assessment for a real-world, complex CPS, namely Unmanned Systems Autonomy Services (UxAS).…

Design and Manipulation of a Power-Generating System with High-Temperature Fuel Cells for Hypersonic Applications
Jack Randolph Chalker
1 citationsOpen access (CC-BY-NC-ND)OpenAlex
Show abstractHide abstract
Current hypersonic vehicles tend to be incapable of producing onboard power with traditional generators due to their use of supersonic combusting ramjets (scramjets). Because of this, they seek additional energy sources for supporting advanced electronics or other auxiliary power-dependent devices while requiring elaborate thermal management systems to combat temperatures exceeding 700ºC. The incorporation of Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFCs) stacks is an efficient solution, capable of generating large quantities of power through the use of natural fuel sources at high temperatures. Developments in this thesis include the design, construction, and support of a system operating at hypersonic-environment conditions with a usable micro-fuel cell. The capability of testing a stack of SOFCs at both elevated temperature and pressure conditions with various natural fuel sources has become a sought-after experiment by many energy production affiliates. Experimentation for this thesis focuses on the optimization of fluid and thermal inputs to work towards supporting successful testing of SOFCs…

Tapped-Inductor Buck DC-DC Converter
Ankit Chadha
1 citationsOpen access (CC-BY)OpenAlex
Show abstractHide abstract
There is a high demand for low step-down dc voltage conversions. Many conventional power converters that are currently being used have a moderate conversion ratio and this may not be sufficient to meet the demand. This can be achieved by either cascading power converters or using converters with a low step-down conversion ratio. Cascading the converters increases the power conversion stage complexity and increase the order of the system, while also affecting the stability. Using converters with a high conversion ratio seems to be a more intelligent option to root. This dissertation tackles to analyze one such converter, called tapped-inductor buck dc-dc converter. A tapped-inductor buck dc-dc converter, capable to produce higher conversion ratios compared to the conventional converters is used. An analysis describing a detailed steady-state operation of the converter is provided. The expected voltage and current waveforms across different components at different points of time during the entire operation of the converter are analytically derived.

Health care systems are facing an increased demand for intensive care coupled with a shortage of intensivist-trained physicians in the United States. Recognizing that patients improve with around-the clock intensivist coverage, health care organizations are adopting health care models that expand these traditional physician intensivist models. Institutions are incorporating Acute Care Nurse Practitioners ACNPs into team-based care models to intercede for patient care in intensive care units ICUs. While military hospitals have begun to adopt these team based care models, no studies have addressed indicators to measure the role and outcomes of ACNPs in military ICUs. The purpose of this study is to identify and compare patient and provider dependent care outcome measures in military ICUs utilizing traditional and team-based staffing models. A retrospective review of medical records was conducted of all patients admitted to either medical, surgical, or trauma ICUs at one U.S. military medical center for the 12 months prior to study initiation.

Passerines are perching birds of order Passeriformes representing half of the diversity of birds (Sibley and Monroe, 1990).There are total 6,600 species identified under 140 families declaring Passeriformes as the largest order of birds.Three hundred and thirteen species of Passeriformes were reported by Roberts (1992) from Pakistan but according to check list of birds of Pakistan there are more than 400 species of Passeriformes in Pakistan (Clements, 2019).They have significant ecological importance in an ecosystem and are mostly omnivores except the shrikes which are carnivorous.This study was done to form a preliminary checklist of Passeriformes at Marala Wetlands from October 2000 to September 2001.Census of the passeriformes was conducted on monthly basis by physically exploring the starting points from the three rivers (Kikar post, Kalyal and Rangpur Kuri) to Marala Head.Four families (Dicruridae, Passeridae, Ploceidae and Sylviidae) belonging to the order of Passeriformes were observed.Only one species was observed from each family.

The family Accipitridae consists of approximately 254 known living species that include eagles, hawks, vultures and kites.Forty species from this family are extant in Pakistan, of which 24 are resident.Only six species from the Accipitridae family were observed at Marala Head; Marsh Harrier (Circus aeruginosus), Pariha Kite (Milvus migrans), White-Backed Vulture (Gyps bengalensis), Long-billed Vulture (Gyps indicus), Shikra (Accipiter badius) and Black-Winged Kite (Elanus caeruleus).The highest number of any species from this family observed was of Gyps bengalensis (23) in December.Elanus caeruleus was the most sparsely populated species observed at the study site.No specific study is available on this family's distribution and density from the study area for the study time period.However, studies on avifaunal diversity from different regions of Pakistan from different time frames help formulate an estimate on the individuals from this group.The study will help in providing sound basis for the future conservation activities regarding the family Accipitridae and their management, on…
