Abstract:
The effectiveness of Digital Signal Processing (DSP) solutions for radio-astronomy is limited by the efficiency of the implemented algorithms. Novel implementations of several popular DSP algorithms are presented. Their optimization strategies are discussed and their efficiency is compared to that of the standard Collaboration for Astronomy Signal Processing and Electronics Research (CASPER) library solutions. Compared to CASPER, the PFB-FIR and FFT modules require 73% and 45% of the DSP48E1 resources, with performance dominated by ADC quantization noise for typical radio-astronomy inputs.

Abstract:
Kidney transplant recipients are at increased risk of malignancy compared to age and gender matched populations. The development of a pleural effusion after transplantation requires further workup to determine if the etiology is malignant. We report a caseof a patient with recurrent left-sided pleural effusion without a definitive diagnosis despite multiple thoracentesis. Positron emission tomography–computed tomography (PET-CT) was performed that showed nodular pleural lesions in the left hemithoraxwith low level fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake not amenable to CT guided biopsy. Pleuroscopy allowed for direct visualization of the nodules and a diagnosis of non-Hodgkin lymphoma was obtained with forceps and cryoprobe biopsy. Pleuroscopyis minimally invasive with high diagnostic yield and should be considered early in the setting of abnormal pleura and recurrentpleural effusions that is lymphocytic predominant despite negative cytology.

Abstract:
Background:PsA is a heterogeneous inflammatory arthritis. Patients (pts) with PsA suffer from associated cardiovascular disease, obesity, metabolic syndrome, diabetes (DM), osteoporosis. In psoriasis, leptin has been shown to stimulate keratinocyte proliferation, expression of adhesion molecules and angiogenesis.Objectives:To detect the presence of premature atherosclerosis in PsA pts, measure HOMA-IR as a reflection of insulin resistance (IR) and serum leptin (LEP) level & to detect their association with the presence of premature atherosclerosis in PsA pts.Methods:45 PsA pts (classified according to CASPAR Criteria) & 45 healthy subjects as controls were included. Pts were subjected to history taking, clinical examination to determine body mass index (BMI), the clinical type of PsA, distribution, involved body surface area (BSA), measuring the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) and Disease Activity in PSoriatic Arthritis: DAPSA score. Routine laboratory, fasting insulin (FI), fasting blood glucose (FBG) to calculate HOMA-IR,total cholesterol (TC), HDL, LDL, Triglycerides (TG), serum LEP, carotid Doppler to determine Carotid intima–media thickness (CIMT) & presence or absence of plaques were done. Exclusion: DM, RA, SLE, smoking, postmenopausal females, HCV infection, morbid obesityResults:MeanBMI22.51±1.69 and 23.46±1.82 kg/m2, no statistical significance (P =0.205).MeanBSA5.9±3.1%,DAPSA score(13.98±4.7),PASI score:88.9% (40 pts) had mild to moderate PASI, 5 had severe disease (8.6±4.8).TC, LDL and TG were higher in pts, while HDL was higher in controls (P =0.0003, 0.0001, 0.00001 & 0.05).A significance between 2 groups regarding LEP (P =0.00001), ranging from 2-16.99 (9.7±4.5) in group I and 1.35-1.78 (1.6±0.1) µg/ml in controls.Normal: 2.6-8.35FI & HOMA IR were significantly higher in PsA group (P = 0.001, 0.00001)The mean CIMT 1.1±0.3 mm and in group II 0.8±0.1 mm. 14 pts (31.1%) had plaque, while 68.9 % & all controls had no plaques, with a significance regarding CIMT & presence of plaques (P=0.011 & 0.0041).A positive statistical significance between LEP and dd (P=0.001), BSA, PASI and DAPSA (P =0.007, 0.003, 0.001) but not with age, BMI (P=0.98 & 0.88).There was no statistical significance between LEP and FBG, HbA1C, HOMA IR, FI, CBC (P > 0.05), or between LEP and TC, TG, HDL, LDL (P=0.438,0.390, 0.699, 0.050), liver enzymes, renal functions, ESR and CRP.There was statistical positive correlation between LEP and CIMT (P =0.0001), but not with the presence of plaques (P=0.846).CIMT and other variables: Table 1DAPSA: there was no statistical significance with TC, HDL, LDL and TG (P=0.51, 0.876, 0.717 & 0.255), but a statistically significance with LEP and CIMT(p=0.001& 0.009). Pts with higher score had higher LEP and increased CIMT.PASI: there was no significance between TC, HDL, LDL, TG (P=0.724, 0.157, 0.651& 0.374) or CIMT (p=0.290) in mild-moderate and severe PASI. LEP was significantly higher in severe PASI score (P= 0.001).Conclusion:The presence of abnormal lipid profile, IR, increased CIMT, high disease activity and increased LEP may be considered as useful criteria for early recognition and thus prevention of atherosclerosis in PsA pts.References:[1]Miller I M, et al.

Abstract:
Forests are integral to sustaining clean water resources and healthy watersheds. It is critical, therefore, that managers fully understand the potential impacts of their actions on myriad ecosystem services provided by forested watersheds. While forest hydrologists have long used paired-watershed experiments to elucidate the complex interactions between forest management and watershed biogeochemical and ecohydrological processes, there is still much to learn from these studies. Here, we present an overview of the process for designing a paired-watershed study using a large harvesting experiment at the Caspar Creek Experimental Watersheds in coastal California as an example. We detail many considerations when designing such an experiment and highlight the wide range of scientific investigations that are part of the larger experiment. Paired watershed studies are a great example of community engaged scholarship and offer the unique opportunity to work with land managers to solve applied problems while simultaneously discovering new fundamental knowledge about how watersheds function.

Abstract:
Forest harvesting has been shown to effect water quantity and water quality parameters, highlighting the need for comprehensive forest practice rules. Being able to understand and predict these impacts on stream temperature is especially critical where federally threatened or endangered fish species are located. The goal of this research was to predict responses in stream temperature to potential riparian and forest harvest treatments in a maritime, mountainous environment. The Distributed Hydrology Soil Vegetation Model (DHSVM) and River Basin Model (RBM) were calibrated to measured streamflow and stream temperatures in the South Fork of the Caspar Creek Experimental Watersheds during critical summer periods when temperatures are highest and flows are low for hydrologic years 2010–2016. The modeling scenarios evaluated were (1) varying percentages of stream buffer canopy cover, (2) a harvest plan involving incrementally reduced stand densities in gauged sub-watersheds, and (3) an experimental design converting dominant riparian vegetation along set reaches. The model predicted a noticeable rise in stream temperatures beginning when stream buffer canopy cover was reduced to 25 and 0% retention levels. Larger increases in Maximum Weekly Maximum Temperatures (MWMT), compared to Maximum Weekly Average Temperatures (MWAT), occurred across all scenarios. There was essentially no difference in MWAT or MWMT between altering buffers along only fish bearing (Class I) watercourses and altering buffers along all watercourses. For the scenario with stream buffers at 0% retention, MWMTs consistently rose above recommended thermal limits for coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch). Predictions when clearcutting the entire watershed showed less of an effect than simulations with 0% buffer retention, suggesting groundwater inflows mitigate stream temperature rises in the South Fork. The harvest simulation showed a small but consistent increase in MWATs (avg. 0.11°C), and more varied increases in MWMTs (avg. 0.32°C). Sensitivity analyses suggest potentially unrealistic tracking of downstream temperatures, making the vegetation conversion simulations inconclusive. Additional sensitivity analyses suggest tree height and monthly extinction coefficient (a function of leaf area index) were most influential on temperatures in the South Fork, which was consistent with other modeling studies suggesting management focus on tall, dense buffers compared to wider buffer widths.

Abstract:
A 75 year old female receiving dialysis 3 times weekly due to end-stage renal disease (ESRD), secondary to polycystic kidney disease, presented to the emergency room. She complained of right upper quadrant pain together with pleuritic chest pain. The chest pain worsened on deep inspiration and on lying down flat, but improved on sitting up and bending forwards. An abdominal ultrasound, performed due to a known liver cyst, revealed a solid dense lesion, which was not indicative of a cyst. There was the suspicion that the lesion may have been infectious or hemorrhagic in nature. As a result the patient was admitted to the surgical department for further evaluation. Due to her failure to respond to antibiotic treatment a PET-CT with F-18-FDG was ordered. The studies revealed increased mediastinal absorption between her large vessels and pericardium as well as a small pericardial effusion. Her serum CRP peak was 236.83 mg/l, the troponin was negative and her blood urea was 42 mg/dl (15-45 mg/dl). The ECG did not show any typical changes of pericarditis.

Abstract:
Agriculture is the backbone of the Haitian economy and provides employment 80% employment to the Haitian population (Lundahl, 1992). Also 85% of people in rural areas generate money from agricultural activities (IFAD, 2008). In the rural areas, men and women participate in agricultural production. However, the women play a vital role in the whole process starting from land preparation to crop sale (Gaspard, 2013). The Haitian women, despite of their function in crop productions (Dor, 2016), face different health issues, which have influence over Haitian agricultural system. Therefore, the research purposed was to investigate the impact of women heath issues on agricultural production Fondwa. A qualitative case study was used to investigate ten women farmers in the community of Fondwa, which is a small farming area in southwest part of Haiti. An interview questionnaire was used for data collection. Findings of the study showed that the women's contribution to farming is vital for promoting agricultural production, and they face different health issues that are linked to the environment and water pollution. Lastly, the women health problems influence agricultural production in the Fondwa area by preventing them from doing their daily agricultural activities, which have a direct impact over family and country's income.

Abstract:
La present tesi doctoral s’ha centrat en el repte d’aconseguir, mitjançant Fabricació Additiva (FA), models per a assaig quirúrgic, sota la premissa que els equips per fer-los haurien de ser accessibles a l’àmbit hospitalari. L’objectiu és facilitar l’extensió de l’ús dels prototips com a eina de preparació d’operacions quirúrgiques, transformant la pràctica mèdica actual de la mateixa manera que en el seu moment ho van fer tecnologies com les que van facilitar l’ús de radiografies. El motiu d’utilitzar FA, en lloc de tecnologies més tradicionals, és la seva capacitat de materialitzar de forma directa les dades digitals obtingudes de l’anatomia del pacient mitjançant sistemes d’escanejat tridimensional, fent possible l’obtenció de models personalitzats. Els resultats es centren en la generació de nou coneixement sobre com aconseguir equipaments d’impressió 3D multimaterials accessibles que permetin l’obtenció de models mimètics respecte als teixits vius. Per facilitar aquesta buscada extensió de la tecnologia, s’ha focalitzat en les tecnologies de codi obert com la Fabricació per Filament Fos (FFF) i similars basades en líquids catalitzables. La recerca s’alinea dins l’activitat de desenvolupament de la FA al CIM UPC, i en aquest àmbit concret amb la col·laboració amb l’Hospital Sant Joan de Déu de Barcelona (HSJD). El primer bloc de la tesi inclou la descripció de l’estat de l’art, detallant les tecnologies existents i la seva aplicació a l’entorn mèdic. S’han establert per primer cop unes bases de caracterització dels teixits vius -sobretot tous- per donar suport a la selecció de materials que els puguin mimetitzar en un procés de FA, a efectes de millorar l’experiència d’assaig dels cirurgians. El caràcter rígid dels materials majoritàriament usats en impressió 3D els fa poc útils per simular tumors i altres referències anatòmiques. De forma successiva, es tracten paràmetres com la densitat, la viscoelasticitat, la caracterització dels materials tous a la indústria, l’estudi del mòdul elàstic de teixits tous i vasos, la duresa d’aquests, i requeriments com l’esterilització dels models. El segon bloc comença explorant la impressió 3D mitjançant FFF. Es classifiquen les variants del procés des del punt de vista de la multimaterialitat, essencial per fer models d’assaig quirúrgic, diferenciant entre solucions multibroquet i de barreja al capçal. S’ha inclòs l’estudi de materials (filaments i líquids) que serien més útils per mimetitzar teixits tous. Es constata com en els líquids, en comparació amb els filaments, la complexitat del treball en processos de FA és més elevada, i es determinen formes d’imprimir materials molt tous. Per acabar, s’exposen sis casos reals de col·laboració amb l’HJSD, una selecció d’aquells en els que el doctorand ha intervingut en els darrers anys. L’origen es troba en la dificultat de l’abordatge d’operacions de resecció de tumors infantils com el neuroblastoma, i a la iniciativa del Dr. Lucas Krauel. Finalment, el Bloc 3 té per objecte explorar nombrosos conceptes (fins a 8), activitat completada al llarg dels darrers cinc anys amb el suport dels mitjans del CIM UPC i de l’activitat associada a treballs finals d’estudis d’estudiants de la UPC, arribant-se a materialitzar equipaments experimentals per validar-los. La recerca ampla i sistemàtica al respecte fa que s’estigui més a prop de disposar d’una solució d’impressió 3D multimaterial de sobretaula. Es determina que la millor via de progrés és la de disposar d’una pluralitat de capçals independents a fi de capacitar la impressora 3D per integrar diversos conceptes estudiats, materialitzant-se una possible solució. Cloent la tesi, es planteja com seria un equipament d’impressió 3D per a models d’assaig quirúrgic, a fi de servir de base per a futurs desenvolupaments.

La investigación amplia y sistemática al respecto hace que se esté más cerca de disponer de una solución de impresión 3D multimaterial de sobremesa. Se determina que la mejor vía de progreso es la de disponer de una pluralidad de cabezales independientes, a fin de capacitar la impresora 3D para integrar diversos conceptos estudiados, materializándose una posible solución. Para cerrar la tesis, se plantea cómo sería un equipamiento de impresión 3D para modelos de ensayo quirúrgico, a fin de servir de base para futuros desarrollos.

Abstract:
Should military personnel (‘soldiers’) become selective conscientious objectors to an unjust war? This chapter argues, first, that in most cases the fog of war and politics makes it unreasonable to expect soldiers to make fact-intensive judgments about whether the war is just. Second, it argues that even a just-war tribunal, of the sort proposed by Jeff McMahan, will not do the job. It will inevitably lack the legitimacy and fact-finding capacity necessary to reassure soldiers in such a weighty decision. Third, the moral importance of maintaining civilian control of the military means that soldiers should generally obey orders to deploy. Fourth, however, absolute deference to leaders and commanders is morally unacceptable. The chapter defends an intermediate view advanced centuries ago by Cajetan, Suárez, and Vitoria: soldiers must not fight in an unjust war, but may defer to civilian leaders’ judgment of just cause unless the injustice is manifest.

We will look at each of the barriers in more detail, based on the ranking described in Chap. 10.1007/978-3-030-80511-1_1. This chapter draws from the published and unpublished work of the authors using the survey data and the interview insights. This chapter will use cases to describe how others overcame the barriers (Fig. 2.1).

Abstract:
AbstractThis chapter analyzes the impact of climate change and variability on food security of rural households in the central highlands of Ethiopia taking Basona Werana district as a case study site. Data were obtained from 123 households selected using simple random sampling from three agro ecological zones. Key informant interviews and focus group discussion (FDG) were used to supplement the data obtained from household survey. The monthly rainfall and temperature data are for 56 points of 10 × 10 km grids reconstructed from weather stations and meteorological satellite observations, which cover the period between 1983 and 2016. Standardized rainfall anomaly (SRA), linear regression (LR), and coefficient of variation (CV) are used to examine inter-annual and intra-annual variability of rainfall. Annual and seasonal rainfalls show decreasing trends over the period of observation. The decreasing trends in annual and March–May (Belg) rainfall totals exhibit statically significant decreasing trends at p = 0.05 level. Kiremt (June–September) shows statically significant decreasing trends at p = 0.1 level. Mean annual maximum and minimum temperatures show statically significant increasing trends at p = 0.05 level. More than 80% of households perceived that the climate is changing and their livelihoods (crop and livestock production) are impacted. The district belongs to one of the most vulnerable areas to climate change and variability in the country where large proportions of households (62%) are under different food insecurity classes. Results suggest that local level investigations are useful in developing context-specific climate change adaptation.

Abstract:
Fatal familial insomnia (FFI) is a rare autosomal dominant genetic disease characterized by progressive insomnia, autonomic hyperactivity, memory deficits, hallucinations, and myoclonus. Unlike its name, insomnia is not the most common initial presentation in patients with FFI. More common features like autonomic hyperactivity (hypertension and tachycardia) are often missed, delaying the diagnosis of FFI. Genetic analysis of FFI shows a D178N-129M mutation that results in generation of insoluble proteins (prion proteins) that aggregate to form amyloid plaques, leading to deterioration of the central nervous system, particularly in the hypothalamus. This case illustrates the difficulty in determining a definitive diagnosis in patients with FFI. Unfortunately, no treatment or cure is available for FFI. The disease is fatal in all the patients.

Abstract:
FITNET is a four-year European thematic network with the objective of developing and extending the use of fitness-for-service (FFS) procedures for welded and non-welded metallic structures throughout Europe. It is partly funded by the European Commission within the fifth framework program and it was launched in February 2002. The network currently consists of about 50 organisations from 17 European countries and supported by institutions from USA, Japan and Korea. Further information can be found in the FITNET TN website: http://www.eurofitnet.org. The FITNET FFS Procedure is built up in four major analysis modules namely fracture, fatigue, creep and corrosion. The first official draft is available in early 2006 in the form of an official CEN document. Industrial components are as a rule exposed to fluctuating loads and hence consideration of fatigue damages accumulation or of fatigue crack growth is a critical issue. The aim of this paper is to present the features and the main analysis routes of the FITNET FFE Fatigue Module of the FITNET FFS Procedure to assess the fatigue life of the load carrying metallic components manufactured with and without welds. The paper includes an industrial case from ship structure for the application of two fatigue assessment routes.

Abstract:
Abstract Real-time or faster-than-real-time flow simulation is crucial for studying airflow and heat transfer in buildings, such as building design, building emergency management and building energy performance evaluation. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) with Pressure Implicit with Splitting of Operator (PISO) or Semi-Implicit Method for Pressure Linked Equations (SIMPLE) algorithm is accurate but requires great computational resources. Fast Fluid Dynamics (FFD) can reduce the computational effort but generally lack prediction accuracy due to simplification. This study developed a fast computational method based on FFD in combination with the PISO algorithm. Boussinesq approximation is adopted for simulating buoyancy effect. The proposed solver is tested in a two-dimensional case and a three-dimensional case with experimental data. The predicted results have good agreement with the experimental results. In the two test cases, the proposed solver generates lower Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) compared to the FFD and at the same time, the proposed method reduces computational cost by a factor of 10 and 13 in the two cases compared to CFD.

Abstract:
Abstract In order to elucidate the temperature dependence of hydrogen-assisted fatigue crack growth (HAFCG), the fatigue crack growth (FCG) test was performed on low-carbon steel JIS-SM490B according to ASTM E647 using compact tension (CT) specimen under 0.7 MPa (≈ 0.1 ksi) hydrogen-gas at room temperature (RT: 298 K (≈ 77 °F)) and 423 K (≈ 302 °F) at stress intensity factor range of ΔK = 30 MPa m1/2 (≈ 27 ksi in1/2). Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) observation was performed on the mid-thick section of CT specimen in order to investigate change in plasticity around the crack wake in gaseous hydrogen environment and how it changes due to temperature elevation. The obtained results showed the higher temperature, the lower intense of HAFCG as reported in our previous article. Plasticity around the crack wake became less in gaseous hydrogen environment, especially tested at 298 K. The propensity of the results obtained at higher temperature (423 K) can be separated into two cases: (i) intense plasticity occurs like tested in air, (ii) crack propagates straighter accompanying less plasticity like tested in gaseous hydrogen environment at 298 K. This implies macroscopic FCG rate is determined by combination of microscopic FCG rate in the case (i) and case (ii).

Full text
Abstract:
Ultrasound waves, transmitted by a transducer into a body, are reflected and scattered by the materials they encounter in the body. In case of blood flow measurements in an artery, the received signal will contain the information not only from the moving red blood cells, but the reflections from the vessel wall of other soft tissue structures as well. The discrimination between ultrasound signals originating from scattering of red blood cells and reflection of tissue is one of the major problems for blood velocity assessment. Traditionally, in Doppler processing, where the highest blood velocities in the middle of the vessel are estimated, this discrimination is obtained via a high pass filter with a static cut-off frequency related to the maximum frequency content of the reflections. This is illustrated in Fig.1 (top). As illustrated in Fig. 1 (bottom), problems occur for velocity estimation of slowly moving blood cells close to the vessel wall and in case of perpendicular insonification [1]. In these cases, there is no frequency shift in the signal received from scattering on blood cells. Furthermore, the intensity of the reflections from the vessel wall is highest in case of perpendicular insonification. Filtering in these cases is very challenging since it allows the assessment of blood velocity profiles without contrast agents.

Abstract:
The academic performance of engineering students continues to receive attention in the literature. Despite that, there is a lack of studies in the literature investigating the simultaneous relationship between students' systems thinking (ST) skills, Five-Factor Model (FFM) personality traits, proactive personality scale, academic, demographic, family background factors, and their potential impact on academic performance. Three established instruments, namely, ST skills instrument with seven dimensions, FFM traits with five dimensions, and proactive personality with one dimension, along with a demographic survey, have been administrated for data collection. A cross-sectional web-based study applying Qualtrics has been developed to gather data from engineering students. To demonstrate the prediction power of the ST skills, FFM traits, proactive personality, academic, demographics, and family background factors on the academic performance of engineering students, two unsupervised learning algorithms applied. The study results identify that these unsupervised algorithms succeeded to cluster engineering students' performance regarding primary skills and characteristics. In other words, the variables used in this study are able to predict the academic performance of engineering students. This study also has provided significant implications and contributions to engineering education and education sustainable development bodies of knowledge. First, the study presents a better perception of engineering students' academic performance. The aim is to assist educators, teachers, mentors, college authorities, and other involved parties to discover students' individual differences for a more efficient education and guidance environment. Second, by a closer examination at the level of systemic thinking and its connection with FFM traits, proactive personality, academic, and demographic characteristics, understanding engineering students' skillset would be assisted better in the domain of sustainable education.

Abstract:
With the funding programme Talents, the Federal Ministry for Climate Action, Environment, Energy, Mobility, Innovation and Technology (BMK) supports people in applied research throughout their entire career. The overarching goal is to increase the utilisation of human potential in the application-oriented, scientific and technical RTI sector. The programme objectives are 1) to inspire young people for research and development, 2) to connect researchers with the economic sector, 3)to guarantee equal opportunities for all. Within the framework of three fields of intervention, there are various programme lines: 1) Intervention field Young Talents with the programme lines Internships for Students and Talents Regional, 2) Intervention field Female Talents with the programme lines FEMtech Internships for Female Students, FEMtech Career and FEMtech Career Check for SMEs (2015 and 2016), as well as FEMtech Research Projects; and 3) Intervention field Professional Talents with the programme lines The Austrian Job Exchange for Research, Development and Innovation as well as Career Grants for Interviews, Relocation and Dual Careers in Applied Research. After an interim evaluation in 2014, a final evaluation took place at the end of the programme period (end of 2020). The programme was analysed with regard to its conception, implementation, achievement of objectives and impact. Furthermore, conclusions and recommendations for the further development of the Talents programme have been drawn. The methodological basis of the evaluation is a document analysis, secondary data analysis (FFG monitoring data), interviews with experts, online surveys of funding recipients (FEMtech Career / FEMtech Career Check for SMEs and Career Grants), case studies (FEMtech Career projects) and workshops.
