Abstract:

Analysis of Patch Substructuring MethodsPatch substructuring methods are non-overlapping domain decomposition methods like classical substructuring methods, but they use information from geometric patches reaching into neighboring subdomains, condensated on the interfaces, to enhance the performance of the method, while keeping it non-overlapping. These methods are very convenient to use in practice, but their convergence properties have not been studied yet. We analyze geometric patch substructuring methods for the special case of one patch per interface. We show that this method is equivalent to an overlapping Schwarz method using Neumann transmission conditions. This equivalence is obtained by first studying a new, algebraic patch method, which is equivalent to the classical Schwarz method with Dirichlet transmission conditions and an overlap corresponding to the size of the patches. Our results motivate a new method, the Robin patch method, which is a linear combination of the algebraic and the geometric one, and can be interpreted as an optimized Schwarz method with Robin transmission conditions. This new method has a significantly faster convergence rate than both the algebraic and the geometric one. We complement our results by numerical experiments.

Abstract:

Introduction Damage control laparotomy (DCL) is a life-saving surgical technique, but the resultant open abdomen (OA) carries serious morbidity/mortality. Many methods are utilized to manage OAs, but discrepancy exists in distinguishing closure from coverage techniques. We observed a difference in our DCL patient outcomes managed with the Wittmann Patch (WP) closure device versus the more popular ABThera (AB) coverage device. We hypothesized that the WP contributed to an improved fascial closure rate of the OAs after DCL. Methods A retrospective review of OAs managed with the AB or WP at our Level 1 trauma center was performed using billing codes to capture DCL patients from 2011 to 2019. Patients were divided into AB alone or WP groups. Major endpoints included primary fascial closure (PFC) and delayed fascial closure (DFC, fascial closure after greater than 7 days). Results 189 patients were identified as AB and 38 as WP. Rates of death before closure, age, gender, and Injury Severity Score were similar in both groups. PFC = 81%-90% for AB versus WP, respectively. Excluding patients with preexisting hernias PFC = 87%-100% for AB versus WP ( P < .05) and DFC = 44%-100% for AB versus WP ( P ≤ 0.001). WP had a statistically higher rate of PFC and DFC. There was a decreased incidence of complications in the WP versus AB group. Conclusions While not well reported in the peer-reviewed literature, the application of the WP for management of the OA is an active form of pursuing PFC when compared with the AB, a coverage device. Our interinstitutional results have demonstrated superior PFC and DFC rates and fewer complications, in patients managed with the WP compared with the AB.

Abstract:

SUMMARYGlobal nitrous oxide (N2O) inventory estimates for pasture systems are refined based on measurements of N2O loss from simulated urine patches. A variety of methods are used for patch simulation but they frequently use a uniform wetted area (UWA), often smaller than a bovine urine patch. However, natural patches follow non-uniform infiltration patterns expanding naturally from a point of deposit with a non-wetted zone of influence. Using 2 litres of urine the UWA method was compared, using a 0·156 m2 collar, with a naturally expanding effective area (NEEA) method, using a 0·462 m2 collar under high (HL) and low (LL) N2O loss conditions. The method chosen affects urine nitrogen (N) loading to the soil. Under HL the UWA method induced a N2O-N loss of 280·6 mg/patch, significantly less than the 434·8 mg/patch loss for the NEEA method, for the same simulated urination. Under LL there was no method effect. Efforts should be made to employ patch simulation methods, which mimic natural deposits and can be achieved, at least in part, by: (a) Using a urine volume and N content similar to that of the animal of interest. (b) Allowing natural infiltration of the chosen urine volume to permit tapering towards the edges. (c) Measuring from the zone of influence in addition to the wetted area, i.e. the patch effective area.

Abstract:

The aim of this paper is to present a simulation and analysis of a rectangular microstrip patch antenna with three different structural modifications to reduce the size of the antenna. We have tried to decrease the size of the antenna by inducing three different shaped slits inside the patch of the antenna. All these models have been designed and analyzed using CST Microwave Studio software. For designing the antennas, Flame Retardant 4 (FR-4 lossy) has been used as the substrate material with a dielectric constant of Ԑr=4.3. The antenna works at the frequency of 2.4 GHz. Performance characteristics such as return loss S11 parameter<-10 dB, directivity, side lobe level, gain and bandwidth of each of the modified designs are obtained and compared with the original design. We were able to reduce the size by maximum 18% and minimum 7% by only inducing the slits, while maintain the performance.

Abstract:

The goal of visual place recognition (VPR) is to determine the location of a query image by identifying its place in a collection of image databases. Visual sensor technologies are crucial for visual place recognition as they allow for precise identification and location of query images within a database. Global descriptor-based VPR methods face the challenge of accurately capturing the local specific regions within a scene; consequently, it leads to an increasing probability of confusion during localization in such scenarios. To tackle feature extraction and feature matching challenges in VPR, we propose a modified patch-NetVLAD strategy that includes two new modules: a context-aware patch descriptor and a context-aware patch matching mechanism. Firstly, we propose a context-driven patch feature descriptor to overcome the limitations of global and local descriptors in visual place recognition. This descriptor aggregates features from each patch’s surrounding neighborhood. Secondly, we introduce a context-driven feature matching mechanism that utilizes cluster and saliency context-driven weighting rules to assign higher weights to patches that are less similar to densely populated or locally similar regions for improved localization performance. We further incorporate both of these modules into the patch-NetVLAD framework, resulting in a new approach called contextual patch-NetVLAD. Experimental results are provided to show that our proposed approach outperforms other state-of-the-art methods to achieve a Recall@10 score of 99.82 on Pittsburgh30k, 99.82 on FMDataset, and 97.68 on our benchmark dataset.

Abstract:

In this paper we are interested to calculate the resonant frequency of rectangular patch antenna using artificial neural networks based on the multilayered perceptrons. The artificial neural networks built, transforms the inputs which are, the width of the patch W, the length of the patch L, the thickness of the substrate h and the dielectric permittivity to the resonant frequency fr which is an important parameter to design a microstrip patch antenna.The proposed method based on artificial neural networks is compared to some analytical methods using some statistical criteria. The obtained results demonstrate that artificial neural networks are more adequate to achieve the purpose than the other methods and present a good argument with the experimental results available in the literature. Hence, the artificial neural networks can be used by researchers to predict the resonant frequency of a rectangular patch antenna knowing length (L), width (W), thickness (h) and dielectric permittivity with a good accuracy.

Abstract:

Fourteen reinforced concrete laboratory test specimens were used to evaluate a number of corrosion control (CoC) procedures to prolong the life of patch repairs in corrosion-damaged reinforced concrete. These specimens included layered mixed-in chlorides to represent chloride contamination due to deicing salts. All specimens were exposed to accelerated corrosion testing for three months, subjected to patch repairs with various treatments, and further subjected to additional three months of exposure to accelerated corrosion. The use of thermal sprayed zinc, galvanic embedded anodes, epoxy/polyurethane coating, acrylic coating, and an epoxy patch repair material was evaluated individually or in combination. The specimens were assessed with respect to corrosion currents (estimated mass loss), chloride ingress, surface rust staining, and corrosion of the reinforcing steel observed after dissection. Results indicated that when used in patch repair applications, the embedded galvanic anode with top surface coating, galvanic thermal sprayed zinc, and galvanic thermal sprayed zinc with surface coating were more effective in controlling corrosion than the other treatments tested.

Abstract:

The most common method of reversible contraception used worldwide is the intrauterine device. However, in the Asia–Pacific the combined oral contraceptive pill and condoms, methods of contraception that require a high degree of day-to-day user compliance, are more popular. The combined vaginal ring and transdermal patch have been developed to overcome the need for daily compliance associated with combined pill use. They have the added advantages of non-oral delivery, thus avoiding gastro-intestinal interference with absorption, and in addition there is no hepatic first-pass effect. Both have been available internationally for some years and offer an alternative to the combined pill. This article reviews and summarises published data on these new methods.

Abstract:

This literature review is devoted to various carotid endarterectomy (CE) methods that exist today in Russia. The pros and cons of conventional and eversion technique of the operation are given. It is indicated that the former is associated with higher long-term rate of restenosis, aneurysm and patch infection. The second is associated with higher prevalence of intraoperative internal carotid artery (ICA) thrombosis due to intimal detachment distal to endarterectomy area. The following CE methods for patients with prolonged ICA involvement are described: neo bifurcation formation, autoarterial reconstruction, ICA autotransplantation, plastic using an occipital artery flap. The methods of CE with carotid body saving have been demonstrated: 1. Swallow tail type patch repair proposed by R.I. Izhbuldin; 2. S-shaped arteriotomy proposed by K. A. Antsupov; 3. Two types of operations proposed by R. А. Vinogradov; 4. Сutting off the ICA with sections of common and external carotid artery proposed by A. N. Kazantsev; 5. Glomus-saving ICA autotransplantation in patients with prolonged atherosclerotic involvement. The role of ICA transposition over the hypoglossal nerve in eversion CE is presented. The glomus-saving CE with ICA transposition, called Chik-Chirik CE, is described. Conclusions are drawn on the need to demonstrate all CE types in the novel Russian guidelines for the management of patients with of head and neck arterial diseases.

Abstract:

Recent advances in technology allowed for the use of laser-based systems that can directly measure macrotexture properties of various surfaces. Volumetric or sand patch method has historically been used as the main technique for measuring macrotexture. Different available methods do not all measure the same surface properties and often generate different measurements. Thus, it is crucial to determine the most suitable method for measuring surface macrotexture. This paper investigates mean profile depth measurements from three laser based macrotexture measuring devices, including a laser profiler, a laser texture scanner and a circular texture meter. The results are compared with mean texture depth obtained from volumetric sand patch tests. Experiments were conducted to measure macrotexture of 26 laboratory specimens, which included asphalt and Portland cement concrete samples of various type and finish, as well as other common manufactured textured samples. Based on the evaluation of experimental data collected in this study, relationships are recommended to predict standard macrotexture using the mean profile depth data measured by a laser equipment or scanner.

Abstract:

Two- and three-dimensional macrotexture characteristics of various surfaces were measured using five different testing methods including sand patch method, laser profiler, laser texture scanner, circular texture meter, and x-ray computed tomography (CT) scanning. A dynamic friction tester was also used to measure the friction resistance of the same surfaces. Asphalt and Portland cement concrete samples of various mix designs and finishes and other commonly manufactured textured samples were used. Relationship between the macrotexture and friction was investigated. Mean texture depth (MTD) of 26 laboratory specimens was obtained from volumetric sand patch tests. Two-dimensional profiles and mean profile depth (MPD) of specimens were measured by a laser profiler. A laser texture scanner and a circular texture meter were also used to calculate the MPD of sample surfaces. Three-dimensional rendering of the surfaces were obtained from laser texture scanner and x-ray CT scans. Using the experimental data collected in this study, relationships between friction resistance and macrotexture obtained from different methods were investigated. The estimated texture depths predicted from laser profiler, laser texture scanner, and CT meter were comparable to the MTD obtained from sand patch tests. Also, the friction resistance increased with increasing surface macrotexture.

Abstract:

This paper introduces a novel global patch matching method that focuses on how to remove fronto-parallel bias and obtain continuous smooth surfaces with assuming that the scenes covered by stereos are piecewise continuous. Firstly, simple linear iterative cluster method (SLIC) is used to segment the base image into a series of patches. Then, a global energy function, which consists of a data term and a smoothness term, is built on the patches. The data term is the second-order Taylor expansion of correlation coefficients, and the smoothness term is built by combing connectivity constraints and the coplanarity constraints are combined to construct the smoothness term. Finally, the global energy function can be built by combining the data term and the smoothness term. We rewrite the global energy function in a quadratic matrix function, and use least square methods to obtain the optimal solution. Experiments on Adirondack stereo and Motorcycle stereo of Middlebury benchmark show that the proposed method can remove fronto-parallel bias effectively, and produce continuous smooth surfaces.

Abstract:

Automated program repair is an effective way to ensure software quality and improve software development efficiency. At present, there are many methods and tools of automated program reapir in real world, but most of them have low repair accuracy, resulting in a large number of incorrect patches in the generated patches. To solve this problem, we propose a patch quality evaluation method based on semantic distance, which measures the semantic distance of patches by using features of interval distance, output coverage, and path matching. For each evaluation feature, we give a quantitative formula to obtain a specific distance value and use the distance to calculate the recommended patch value to measure the quality of the patch. Our quality evaluation method evaluated 279 patches from previous program repair tools, including Nopol, DynaMoth, ACS, jGenProg, and CapGen. This quality evaluation method successfully arranged the correct patches before the plausible but incorrect patches, and it recommended the higher-ranked patches to users first. On this basis, we compared our evaluation method with the existing evaluation methods and judged the evaluation ability of each feature. We showed that our proposed patch quality evaluation method can improve the repair accuracy of repair tools.

Abstract:

AbstractLand managers must set weed management priorities if limited resources are to be utilized effectively. Weed surveys and inventories assist land managers in this process by providing information regarding the identity, location, and relative abundance of weeds on their land. Although this information is vital, it can be challenging to select a method that provides the necessary data to meet management objectives while remaining accurate and cost effective. This paper critically evaluates four wildland weed mapping methods. These methods were defined as (1) paper-drawn, (2) buffered-point, (3) screen-drawn, and (4) perimeter-walked. Polygons were drawn by hand on topographic maps in the paper-drawn method. The other methods utilized handheld geographic positioning system (GPS) technology to digitally record infestations. Six experienced weed mappers independently recorded the location and size of eight sagebrush patches using each method. Time and accuracy were evaluated for each method based upon mapping time, distance walked, horizontal precision error, estimated size error, and shape error. The paper-drawn method was significantly less accurate than GPS-based methods at recording patch size and location. There was no significant difference in the accuracy of the buffered-point, screen-drawn, and perimeter-walked methods at reporting patch size and location. The need to cover land area quickly and efficiently favors the selection of the buffered-point or screen-drawn method because of time and distance factors. However, if patch shape is an important factor, the perimeter-walked or buffered-point methods may be the best choices of methods tested.

In this paper, we will apply a strategy of inpainting from outside to inside and propose a re-weighted matching algorithm by closest patch (RWCP), contributing to further enhancing the features in the missing large regions. Additionally, we propose another re-weighted matching algorithm by distance-based weighted average (RWWA), leading to a result with higher PSNR value in some cases. Numerical simulations will demonstrate that for large region inpainting, the proposed method is more applicable than most canonical methods. Moreover, combined with image denoising methods, the proposed model is also applicable for noisy image restoration with large missing regions.</p>

Abstract:

The current paper presents an investigation into novel modal testing methods applied to a disk–shaft structure at different rotating speeds in air and water. The structure was excited using three different methods: an instrumented hammer, a piezoelectric PZT patch glued on the disk and a transient ramp-up. The structural response was measured using an accelerometer and strain gauges mounted on board as well as accelerometers and displacement lasers mounted off board. The potential to excite the natural frequencies using each excitation method and to detect natural frequencies with each sensor was analyzed and compared. Numerical structural and acoustic–structural modal and harmonic analyses of the non-rotating disk in air and water were also performed, taking into consideration the PZT patch. The numerical results showed a close agreement with the experimental ones in both air and water. It was found that the rotating speed of the disk modified the detected natural frequencies, depending on the frame of reference of the sensor. Finally, the PZT patch and the transient ramp-up were proven to be reliable methods to excite the natural frequencies of the current test rig and to be potentially applicable in full-scale hydraulic turbines under operating conditions.

Abstract:

The prevention of pregnancy remains an important part of the practice of medicine. Contraception can occur at a number of points in the basic reproductive biological process and through a number of contraceptive product options. Pharmacists are health care providers appropriately positioned to assist patients in suitable contraceptive product selection based on their personal situations and lifestyles. This article provides an overview of available products for prevention of pregnancy and associated risks and benefits. Contraceptive products are categorized by their hormonal content and method of action. Hormonal options include oral contraceptive pills, contraceptive patch, implants, injection, intravaginal, and intrauterine devices. Barrier products prevent pregnancy by creating a physical obstacle to the successful fertilization of an egg by sperm. All products and methods are associated with benefits and potential complications that must be considered as patients, and health care providers select the most satisfactory option.

Abstract:

Image inpainting can be used to fix broken images and get rid of distracting elements. In exemplar based methods, patch priority computation and exemplar patch selection are crucial to the success of image inpainting technique. The dropping effect occurred in the highest patch priority computation and matching error in the best patch selection are the major issues in the exemplar inpaint methods. In this paper, the enhanced priority calculation technique is employed to avoid the dropping effect and introduced the new similarity measuring process, Mean Squared Error (MSD). The efficacy of the proposed techniques is estimated by comparing with the available methods in the literature qualitatively. It shows that proposed methods outperformed existing techniques.

Abstract:

AbstractIn two-phase flow simulations, a difficult issue is usually the treatment of surface tension effects. These cause a pressure jump that is proportional to the curvature of the interface separating the two fluids. Since the evaluation of the curvature incorporates second derivatives, it is prone to numerical instabilities. Within this work, the interface is described by a level-set method based on a discontinuous Galerkin discretization. In order to stabilize the evaluation of the curvature, a patch-recovery operation is employed. There are numerous ways in which this filtering operation can be applied in the whole process of curvature computation. Therefore, an extensive numerical study is performed to identify optimal settings for the patch-recovery operations with respect to computational cost and accuracy.

Abstract:

In this paper, we propose two self-adapting patch strategies, which are obtained by employing the integral projection technique on images’ edge images, while the edge images are recovered by the two-dimensional discrete wavelet transform. The patch strategies are equipped with the advantage of considering the single image’s unique properties and maintaining the integrity of some particular local information. Combining the self-adapting patch strategies with local binary pattern feature extraction and the classifier of the forward and backward greedy algorithms under strong sparse constraint, we propose two new face recognition methods. Experiments are run on the Georgia Tech, LFW and AR face databases. The obtained numerical results show that the new methods outperform some related patch-based methods to a larger extent.

Abstract:

Chemical transfection is broadly used to transiently transfect mammalian cells, although often associated with cellular stress and membrane instability, which imposes challenges for most cellular assays, including high-throughput (HT) assays. In the current study, we compared the effectiveness of calcium phosphate, FuGENE and Lipofectamine 3000 to transiently express two key voltage-gated ion channels critical in pain pathways, CaV2.2 and NaV1.7. The expression and function of these channels were validated using two HT platforms, the Fluorescence Imaging Plate Reader FLIPRTetra and the automated patch clamp QPatch 16X. We found that all transfection methods tested demonstrated similar effectiveness when applied to FLIPRTetra assays. Lipofectamine 3000-mediated transfection produced the largest peak currents for automated patch clamp QPatch assays. However, the FuGENE-mediated transfection was the most effective for QPatch assays as indicated by the superior number of cells displaying GΩ seal formation in whole-cell patch clamp configuration, medium to large peak currents, and higher rates of accomplished assays for both CaV2.2 and NaV1.7 channels. Our findings can facilitate the development of HT automated patch clamp assays for the discovery and characterization of novel analgesics and modulators of pain pathways, as well as assisting studies examining the pharmacology of mutated channels.

Abstract:

Abstract. Effective parameters are of major importance in modelling surface fluxes at different scales of spatial heterogeneity. Different ways to obtain these effective parameters for their use in meso-scale and GCM models have been studied. This paper deals with patch-scale heterogeneity, where effective resistances were calculated in two patches with different vegetation (Retama sphaerocarpa (L.) Boiss shrubs, and herbaceous plants) using different methods: aggregating soil and plant resistances in parallel, in series or by an average of both. Effective aerodynamic resistance was also calculated directly from patch fluxes. To assess the validity of the different methods used, the Penman-Monteith equation was used with effective resistances to estimate the total λE for each patch. The λE estimates found for each patch were compared to Eddy Covariance system measurements. Results showed that for effective surface resistances, parallel aggregation of soil and plant resistances led to λE estimates closer to the measured λE in both patches (differences of around 10%). Results for effective aerodynamic resistances differed depending on the patch considered and the method used to calculate them. The use of effective aerodynamic resistances calculated from fluxes provided less accurate estimates of λE compared to the measured values, than the use of effective aerodynamic resistances aggregated from soil and plant resistances. The results reported in this paper show that the best way of aggregating soil and plant resistances depends on the type of resistance, and the type of vegetation in the patch.
