Abstract:
We introduce multivariate partial orderings related with the Palm and time-stationary probabilities of a point process. Using these orderings, we give conditions for the monotonicity of a random sequence, with respect to some integral stochastic ordering, to be inherited with a continuous time process in which this sequence is imbedded. This type of inheritance is also discussed for the property of association.

Abstract:
213 Background: Chemotherapy ordering process can be unsafe and inefficient, putting patients at risk for medication errors. Documentation is essential in decreasing the incidence of errors with ordering and administration. The goal is to provide safe, efficient and quality care to oncology patients. Methods: The aim of the project was to decrease the number of deviations on the chemotherapy order forms by 50% within five months. Deviations identified were documentation inconsistency; checking of chemotherapy dosing at the provider level; and difficulty in updating the original order when changes were required. Large amount of time was spent in reconciling deviations. A multidisciplinary team collaborated on identifying root causes, such as, variances in completion of the forms, knowledge deficit of the ordering process, and staff accepting incomplete orders. Results: Order forms were reviewed and real time observations of the process were conducted. Data was collected on the types of deviations on the forms. The top three deviations were: 1. Lab values were not being completed within seven days; 2. Physician’s name and pager number were not provided; and 3. Order forms were missing the day of the chemotherapy cycle. Interventions included the education in entering complete and pertinent information on orders; institution of same day labs on day of visit; standardizing lab parameters; manual audits; and Nursing education regarding the acceptance of orders with deviations. Prior to intervention, 70% of the chemotherapy order forms had at least one deviation. At the five month evaluation, there was a reduction of 13%. Although a modest decrease, interventions continued. In follow-up, a random sample of orders was reviewed reflecting a reduction of 51%. Conclusions: Interventions continue with anticipation for further improvement in the chemotherapy ordering process. With decreasing the number of deviations, there will be an increase in safe, efficient and quality care for oncology patients. This project showed an initiative of improving a process to provide efficient care throughout the healthcare continuum. [Table: see text]

Abstract:
Purpose: Chemotherapy is a high-risk medication and is the second most common cause of fatal medication errors. The ordering process can be unsafe and inefficient, putting patients at risk for medication errors. The aim of this project was to decrease the number of chemotherapy order forms with at least one deviation by 50% within 5 months. Methods: A multidisciplinary team identified causes for variance in form completion, deficits in knowledge of ordering processes, and acceptance of incomplete orders by the staff. The Plan, Do, Study, Act improvement methodology evaluated the chemotherapy ordering process and found different types of deviations on order forms. Interventions consisted of educating physicians on entering complete information on orders, instituting same-day laboratory work on the day of the physician’s visit, standardizing laboratory parameters, performing audits of the order forms manually, and educating nurses on not accepting orders with deviations. Results: All order forms were reviewed, and data were collected on different types of deviations. The following deviations were identified: laboratory test results were not being entered into the order form within 7 days, physicians were not providing their name and pager number, and the days of the chemotherapy cycle were missing from the order forms. Before the intervention, 70.1% of the chemotherapy order forms had at least one deviation. After 5 months of interventions, there was a reduction of 19% in the number of order forms with at least one deviation. Follow-up at 6 months and 1 year showed continuing reductions in the number of chemotherapy orders with at least one deviation. Conclusion: Improvement was a result of collaboration between interdisciplinary departments. The original goal was surpassed as a result of educating physicians and staff and standardizing the ordering process. If the number of deviations in chemotherapy order forms is decreased, oncology patients will receive safe, efficient, and quality care.

Abstract:
We consider the relationships among the stochastic ordering of random variables, of their random partial sums, and of the number of events of a point process in random intervals. Two types of result are obtained. Firstly, conditions are given under which a stochastic ordering between sequences of random variables is inherited by (vectors of) random partial sums of these variables. These results extend and generalize theorems known in the literature. Secondly, for the strong, (increasing) convex and (increasing) concave stochastic orderings, conditions are provided under which the numbers of events of a given point process in two ordered random intervals are also ordered.These results are applied to some comparison problems in queueing systems. It is shown that if the service times in two M/GI/1 systems are compared in the sense of the strong stochastic ordering, or the (increasing) convex or (increasing) concave ordering, then the busy periods are compared for the same ordering. Stochastic bounds in the sense of increasing convex ordering on waiting times and on response times are provided for queues with bulk arrivals. The cyclic and Bernoulli policies for customer allocation to parallel queues are compared in the transient regime using the increasing convex ordering. Comparisons for the five above orderings are established for the cycle times in polling systems.

Abstract:
Summarization is the process of creating a more compact textual representation of a document or a collection of documents. In view of the vast increase in electronically available information sources in the last decade, filters such as automatically generated summaries are becoming ever more important to facilitate the efficient acquisition and use of required information. Different methods using natural language processing (NLP) techniques are being used to this end. One of the shallowest approaches is the clustering of available documents and the representation of the resulting clusters by one of the documents; an example of this approach is the Google News website. It is also possible to augment the clustering of documents with a summarization process, which would result in a more balanced representation of the information in the cluster, NewsBlaster being an example. However, while some systems are already available on the web, summarization is still considered a difficult problem in the NLP community. One of the major problems hampering the development of proficient summarization systems is the evaluation of the (true) quality of system-generated summaries. This is exemplified by the fact that the current state-of-the-art evaluation method to assess the information content of summaries, the Pyramid evaluation scheme, is a manual procedure. In this light, this thesis has three main objectives. 1. The development of a fully automated evaluation method. The proposed scheme is rooted in the ideas underlying the Pyramid evaluation scheme and makes use of deep syntactic information and lexical semantics. Its performance improves notably on previous automated evaluation methods. 2. The development of an automatic summarization system which draws on the conceptual idea of the Pyramid evaluation scheme and the techniques developed for the proposed evaluation system. The approach features the algorithm for determining the pyramid and bases importance on the number of occurrences of the variable-sized contributors of the pyramid as opposed to word-based methods exploited elsewhere. 3. The development of a text coherence component that can be used for obtaining the best ordering of the sentences in a summary.

Abstract:
Experimental observations have shown that haloalkane molecules, e.g. l-cWorododecane, physisorbed on Si(111)-(7 x 7) self-assemble to form dimers stable to 100° C which corral silicon adatoms. The corral size is governed by the haloalkane chain-length. Spectroscopic and theoretical evidence shows that the haloalkane dimer induces electron transfer to the corralled adatom. The enclosed silicon adatom, within a bistable dimeric corral of self-assembled chlorododecane molecules, switches its energy levels permanently (Type-II corrals) or discontinuously (Type-I corrals). Both types of corral, switching and stable, can be seen to alter the local surface charge distribution. Density Functional Theory and electron transport (STM) simulations of the switch and the stable molecular configurations can help the theoretical understanding of both phenomena in order to characterized the exact molecular conformations that produce field effects to the corralled silicon adatom and local surface charge distribution. Chiral heterogeneous catalysts are mostly fabricated from chiral molecules on a metal support. They playa crucial role in intermediate reactions in the fabrication of pharmacies, itself and important part of today's health econolPY. However, the key parameters in the fabrication of these catalysts, a requirements for their rational design, are still poorly understood despite years of experimental research. In essence, such an understanding can only come from high-level simulations. Here, we present the first predictions about the structure of such a catalyst, tartaric acid on a copper support, over the whole phase space of temperature and coverage. Interestingly, we find that molecular vibrations playa key role in the ensuing ordered structures, and that tuning the fabrication temperature should allow for a wide range of molecular separations, which can be targeted at specific molecules and reactions in chiral heterogeneous catalysis.

Abstract:
Since the Institute of Medicine highlighted the devastating impact of medical errors in their seminal report, “To Err is Human” (2000), efforts have been underway to improve patient safety. A portion of medical errors are due to medication errors, and a large portion of these can be attributed to inadequate laboratory monitoring. In this thesis, I attempt to address this small but important corner of this patient safety endeavor. Why are patients not getting their laboratory monitoring tests? Do they fail to complete them or do doctors not order the tests in the first place? Which prescribers and which patients are least likely to do what is needed for testing to happen and what interventions would be most promising? To address these questions, I conducted a systematic review of existing interventions. I then proceeded with three aims: 1) To identify reasons that patients give for missing monitoring tests; 2) To identify patient and provider factors associated with monitoring test ordering; and 3) To identify patient and provider factors associated with completion of ordered testing. To achieve these aims, I worked with patients and data at the Fallon Clinic. For aim 1, I conducted a qualitative analysis of their reasons for missing tests as well as reporting completion and ordering rates. For aims 2 and 3, I used electronic medical record data and conducted a regression with patient and provider characteristics as covariates to identify factors contributing to test ordering and completion. Interviews revealed that patients had few barriers to completion, with forgetting being the most common reason for missing a test. The quantitative studies showed that: older patients with more interactions with the health care system were more likely to have tests ordered and were more likely to complete them; providers who more frequently prescribe a drug were more likely to order testing for it; and drug-test combinations that were particularly dangerous, indicated by a black box warning, were more likely to have appropriate ordering, though for these combinations, primary care providers were less likely to order tests appropriately, and patients were less likely to complete tests. Taken together, my work can inform future interventions in laboratory monitoring and patient safety.

La spectroscopie est un outil primordial pour le diagnostic des plasmas, qu'il s'agisse de ceux des étoiles, permettant d'espérer comprendre toujours mieux leurs formations et leurs évolutions, ou celui des laboratoires, tout spécialement ceux rencontrés dans le cadre des expérimentations visant la fusion thermonucléaire contrôlée, telles que le projet ITER.La modélisation des profils de raie Lyman-alpha de l'hydrogène conduit à élaborer différentes approches dont le formalisme mérite d'être toujours investigué, et possiblement enrichi, en vue d'améliorer nos capacités de diagnostic. Nous avons donc successivement exploré une approche par intégrale de chemin, en vue de conserver au maximum l'information liée à la nature quantique des processus d'interaction, puis le rôle de la chronologie, le potentiel d'interaction du système atomique avec le plasma ne commutant pas à deux instants différents, et enfin une approche modélisant le champ électrique par des processus stochastiques dont les propriétés statistiques déterminent les caractéristiques des profils de raie des plasmas étudiés. Dans ce dernier cas, le travail réalisé montre que la modélisation du champ électrique par des processus stochastiques contient de sérieuses pistes de recherche de nature à améliorer encore les résultats obtenus
Spectroscopy is an essential tool for plasma diagnostics, especially for studying stars, allowing hope to understand always better their origin and their evolution, or for laboratory plasmas, especially those encountered in the experiments for controlled thermonuclear fusion, such as ITER.Modeling profiles of Lyman-alpha hydrogen leads to develop different approaches whose formalism deserves to still remain under investigation, and can possibly be enriched, to improve our diagnostic capabilities. We therefore explored the subject successively by a path integral approach, in order to retain maximum information related to the quantum nature of the interaction process, then the role of chronology, as the interaction potential of the atomic system with the plasma does not commute at two different times, and finally we worked on an approach modeling the electric field by stochastic processes whose statistical properties determine the characteristics of the line profiles of the studied plasmas. In the latter case, the work shows that the modeling of the electric field by stochastic processes contains serious research possibilities which should be able to further improve present results

Full text
Abstract:
Many cutting-edge computer and electronic products are powered by advanced Systems-on-Chip (SoC). Advanced SoCs encompass superb performance together with large number of functions. This is achieved by efficient integration of huge number of transistors. Such very large scale integration is enabled by a core-based design paradigm as well as deep-submicron and 3D-stacked-IC technologies. These technologies are susceptible to reliability and testing complications caused by thermal issues. Three crucial thermal issues related to temperature variations, temperature gradients, and temperature cycling are addressed in this thesis. Existing test scheduling techniques rely on temperature simulations to generate schedules that meet thermal constraints such as overheating prevention. The difference between the simulated temperatures and the actual temperatures is called temperature error. This error, for past technologies, is negligible. However, advanced SoCs experience large errors due to large process variations. Such large errors have costly consequences, such as overheating, and must be taken care of. This thesis presents an adaptive approach to generate test schedules that handle such temperature errors. Advanced SoCs manufactured as 3D stacked ICs experience large temperature gradients. Temperature gradients accelerate certain early-life defect mechanisms. These mechanisms can be artificially accelerated using gradient-based, burn-in like, operations so that the defects are detected before shipping. Moreover, temperature gradients exacerbate some delay-related defects. In order to detect such defects, testing must be performed when appropriate temperature-gradients are enforced. A schedule-based technique that enforces the temperature-gradients for burn-in like operations is proposed in this thesis. This technique is further developed to support testing for delay-related defects while appropriate gradients are enforced. The last thermal issue addressed by this thesis is related to temperature cycling. Temperature cycling test procedures are usually applied to safety-critical applications to detect cycling-related early-life failures. Such failures affect advanced SoCs, particularly through-silicon-via structures in 3D-stacked-ICs. An efficient schedule-based cycling-test technique that combines cycling acceleration with testing is proposed in this thesis. The proposed technique fits into existing 3D testing procedures and does not require temperature chambers. Therefore, the overall cycling acceleration and testing cost can be drastically reduced. All the proposed techniques have been implemented and evaluated with extensive experiments based on ITC’02 benchmarks as well as a number of 3D stacked ICs. Experiments show that the proposed techniques work effectively and reduce the costs, in particular the costs related to addressing thermal issues and early-life failures. We have also developed a fast temperature simulation technique based on a closed-form solution for the temperature equations. Experiments demonstrate that the proposed simulation technique reduces the schedule generation time by more than half.

Abstract:
Gentili, Grotius, and other jurists absorb war and peace into the frame of law. They license the expansion of law into the basic measure for both conceptualizing and regulating war and peace. In the process, they produce a polemical opposition between enemies by law and enemies of law, or the lawful and the lawless. Against lawless, faithless enemies of law, peace is uncertain if not impossible. Such enemies include those with a different form, like pirates, expansionary empires, and peoples with “criminal” or “unnatural” customs. At the same time, Gentili and Grotius imagine that the laws of war and peace are perpetual and universal: they apply to all peoples everywhere. Colonialism enables them to gather and treat distant peoples’ practices as an assurance of their law’s universality.

Full text
Abstract:
The origin of periphrastic verb forms in German is seen in the context of an articulated grammaticalization theory, where grammaticalization is understood as a series of a semantic change (‘bleaching’, read as: stripping of semantic features) followed by a syntactic reanalysis with subsequent extension. The development of several German periphrastic forms is illustrated under this view, focusing on the passive, the periphrastic perfect, and the future tense. Two waves of grammaticalization are distinguished, one in OHG (passive, perfect), one in MHG (future tense). Differences in the ordering frequencies of the non-finite and finite part of the verb form between some forms suggest structural differences, which might mirror different stages in the grammaticalization process.

This epilogue links the colonial history of sexuality with the contemporary politics of HIV/AIDS and girl-child trafficking in Nigeria. The continuity and change in the institutional response to illicit sexuality mirrored the transformative process in the core structures of Nigeria's political and economic ordering. Unlike in the 1940s, when the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) and the CWO were chiefly responsible for policing prostitution, postcolonial Nigeria witnessed the emergence of new organizations like the National Agency for the Prohibition of Traffic in Persons (NAPTIP), which monitors sexual exploitation of underage girls. Indeed, the character, intensity, and composition of regulatory agencies have changed to meet the new challenges of urbanization, HIV/AIDS, underdevelopment, and the globalization of sex in post-independence Nigeria.

Abstract:
In first language acquisition research so far little is known about the affordances involved in children's acquisition of morphologies of different complexities. This chapter discusses the acquisition of Chintang verbal morphology. Chintang is a Sino-Tibetan (Kiranti) polysynthetic language spoken in a small village in Eastern Nepal by approximately 6,000 speakers. The most complex part of Chintang morphology is verbal inflection. A large number of affixes, verb compounding, and freedom in prefix ordering results in over 1,800 verb forms of single stem verbs and more than 4,000 forms if a secondary stem is involved. In this chapter we assess the challenges of learning such a complex system, and we describe in detail what this acquisition process looks like. For this we analyze a large longitudinal acquisition corpus of Chintang.

Many phenomena that the linguistic literature usually treats as reflexes of the grammatical encoding of information structure, such as the early ordering of topics, or the prosodic reduction of old information, are treated in the production literature as a consequence of how contextual salience interacts with production planning. This article reviews information structural effects that arise as a consequence of how syntactic and phonological information is incrementally encoded in the production process, and how we can tell these effects apart from grammatically encoded aspects of information structure that form part of the message.

Abstract:
This chapter provides an account of Singapore's recent history, interwoven with key culinary and gastronomic developments. The conventional periodization of Singapore's history into the pre-colonial, Japanese occupation, merger, and independence eras highlights some of the forces that have shaped the nation, but it also privileges state actors. From the early colonial period onward, the ordering of space and place has been a priority that has been demonstrated at the bureaucratic, regulatory, and physical levels. In the past 200 years, Singapore has been radically remade; technological innovation has been one of the mechanisms by which order is achieved. Indeed, Singapore's engagement with the global economy—be that the economy of the British Empire or of the twenty-first-century world of food security fears—has been relentless, and food has been central to the process.

Abstract:
This practical guide is written especially for the owner-builder and provides step-by-step instructions supported by diagrams and photographs. It covers the construction process from site preparation through to foundations, concrete slabs, strip footings and stumps. Special techniques for straw bale construction and the integration of these techniques with those of conventional house building are also covered, including floors, timber wall-frames, ceilings and roof framing. Advice is offered on plumbing and electrical work in a straw bale house. Written with first-hand knowledge of the challenges that face the owner-builder, the author explores local council issues and requirements, the potential pitfalls of building and what to look for when ordering second-hand material, aided by a useful glossary of terms. The book concludes by covering the various safety issues that arise during construction, including fire prevention, equipment usage and the working environment.

Abstract:
Abstract We present in this paper 1) operation ordering principles and 2) a customizable process planner, Intra-Setup Planner that implements those principles. The principles and the planner focus on sequencing cutting operations within individual setups for three and five axis prismatic milling applications. There is no general agreement on ordering principles largely because different shops have very different needs. To address a wide range of users’ needs, we have designed both the ordering principles and the Intra-Setup Planner to support flexibility rather than providing a single one-size-fits-all prescription for operation ordering. The Intra-Setup Planner provides a convenient user interface, Rule Editor through which users can select the ordering principles that suit their own situation, an automated planner that will follow the user selected principles, and a Plan Editor to allow final adjustments. The combination of flexible principles and user control maximize the strengths of human and machine intelligence.

Abstract:
It is a long-standing question to discover causal relations among a set of variables in many empirical sciences. Recently, Reinforcement Learning (RL) has achieved promising results in causal discovery from observational data. However, searching the space of directed graphs and enforcing acyclicity by implicit penalties tend to be inefficient and restrict the existing RL-based method to small scale problems. In this work, we propose a novel RL-based approach for causal discovery, by incorporating RL into the ordering-based paradigm. Specifically, we formulate the ordering search problem as a multi-step Markov decision process, implement the ordering generating process with an encoder-decoder architecture, and finally use RL to optimize the proposed model based on the reward mechanisms designed for each ordering. A generated ordering would then be processed using variable selection to obtain the final causal graph. We analyze the consistency and computational complexity of the proposed method, and empirically show that a pretrained model can be exploited to accelerate training. Experimental results on both synthetic and real data sets shows that the proposed method achieves a much improved performance over existing RL-based method.

Abstract:
We report on the enhancement of naturally-occurred self ordering of nanopores in anodic aluminium oxide (AAO) membrane by performing three-step anodic oxidation process. Naturally-occurred self ordering of nanopores in anodic aluminium oxide (AAO) membrane has brought it into the applications of template for fabrication of nanoscale materials. Three-step anodic oxidation method was used to achieve self-ordering of nanopores. The effect of duration of first and second steps on the ordering of nanopores was investigated. The current-time curves recorded during anodization elucidate an almost same behavior for all three steps. Scanning electron micrographs (SEM) show hexagonally arranged 45 nm pores in a manner which contribute into the formation of highly ordered areas, called domains. Larger ones are clearly observed over the surface, for samples with longer first and second anodization steps.
