Full textAbstract:
In this paper, we discuss the prediction of the lifetimes to failure of censored units from Weibull distribution for a simple step-stress plan under Khamis-Higgins model. Different methods of prediction are considered including maximum likelihood predictor, modifified maximum likelihood predictor, conditional median predictor, and best unbiased predictor. Another aspect of prediction is constructing prediction limits for future lifetimes of the censored units. The pivotal quantity, highest conditional density, and shortest-length based methods are discussed in this paper. Monte Carlo simulations are performed to compare all the prediction methods developed here and one real data set is analyzed for illustrative purposes.

Full textAbstract:
Handwashing education and promotion are well established as effective strategies to reduce diarrhea and respiratory illness in countries around the world. However, access to reliable water supplies has been identified as an important barrier to regular handwashing in low-income countries. Alcohol-based hand sanitizer (ABHS) is an effective hand hygiene method that does not require water, but its use is not currently recommended when hands are visibly soiled. This study evaluated the efficacy of ABHS on volunteers' hands artificially contaminated with Escherichia coli in the presence of dirt (soil from Tanzania) and cooking oil. ABHS reduced levels of E. coli by a mean of 2.33 log colony forming units (CFU) per clean hand, 2.32 log CFU per dirt-covered hand, and 2.13 log CFU per oil-coated hand. No significant difference in efficacy was detected between hands that were clean versus dirty or oily. ABHS may be an appropriate hand hygiene method for hands that are moderately soiled, and an attractive option for field settings in which access to water and soap is limited.

"SaniTwice: A Novel Approach to Hand Hygiene for Reducing Bacterial Contamination on Hands When Soap and Water Are Unavailable." Journal of Food Protection 73, no. 12 (December 1, 2010): 2296–300. http://dx.doi.org/10.4315/0362-028x-73.12.2296.
Full textAbstract:
The risk of inadequate hand hygiene in food handling settings is exacerbated when water is limited or unavailable, thereby making washing with soap and water difficult. The SaniTwice method involves application of excess alcohol-based hand sanitizer (ABHS), hand “washing” for 15 s, and thorough cleaning with paper towels while hands are still wet, followed by a standard application of ABHS. This study investigated the effectiveness of the SaniTwice methodology as an alternative to hand washing for cleaning and removal of microorganisms. On hands moderately soiled with beef broth containing Escherichia coli (ATCC 11229), washing with a nonantimicrobial hand washing product achieved a 2.86 (±0.64)-log reduction in microbial contamination compared with the baseline, whereas the SaniTwice method with 62% ethanol (EtOH) gel, 62% EtOH foam, and 70% EtOH advanced formula gel achieved reductions of 2.64 ±0.89, 3.64 ±0.57, and 4.61 ±0.33 log units, respectively. When hands were heavily soiled from handling raw hamburger containing E. coli, washing with nonantimicrobial hand washing product and antimicrobial hand washing product achieved reductions of 2.65 ± 0.33 and 2.69 ± 0.32 log units, respectively, whereas SaniTwice with 62% EtOH foam, 70% EtOH gel, and 70% EtOH advanced formula gel achieved reductions of 2.87 ±0.42, 2.99 ± 0.51, and 3.92 ± 0.65 log units, respectively. These results clearly demonstrate that the in vivo antibacterial efficacy of the SaniTwice regimen with various ABHS is equivalent to or exceeds that of the standard hand washing approach as specified in the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Food Code. Implementation of the SaniTwice regimen in food handling settings with limited water availability should significantly reduce the risk of foodborne infections resulting from inadequate hand hygiene.

Full textAbstract:
Persistent Listeria monocytogenes contamination of food industry equipment is a difficult problem to solve. Ultrasonic cleaning offers new possibilities for cleaning conveyors and other equipment that are not easy to clean. Ultrasonic cleaning was tested on three conveyor belt materials: polypropylene, acetal, and stainless steel (cold-rolled, AISI 304). Cleaning efficiency was tested at two temperatures (30 and 45°C) and two cleaning times (30 and 60 s) with two cleaning detergents (KOH, and NaOH combined with KOH). Conveyor belt materials were soiled with milk-based soil and L. monocytogenes strains V1, V3, and B9, and then incubated for 72 h to attach bacteria to surfaces. Ultrasonic cleaning treatments reduced L. monocytogenes counts on stainless steel 4.61 to 5.90 log units; on acetal, 3.37 to 5.55 log units; and on polypropylene, 2.31 to 4.40 log units. The logarithmic reduction differences were statistically analyzed by analysis of variance using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software. The logarithmic reduction was significantly greater in stainless steel than in plastic materials (P < 0.001 for polypropylene, P = 0.023 for acetal). Higher temperatures enhanced the cleaning efficiency in tested materials. No significant difference occurred between cleaning times. The logarithmic reduction was significantly higher (P = 0.013) in cleaning treatments with potassium hydroxide detergent. In this study, ultrasonic cleaning was efficient for cleaning conveyor belt materials.

Full textAbstract:
In this article, we consider statistical inferences about the unknown parameters of the Lomax distribution basedon the Adaptive Type-II Progressive Hybrid censoring scheme, this scheme can save both the total test time and the cost induced by the failure of the units and increases the efficiency of statistical analysis. The estimation of the parameters is derived using the maximum likelihood (MLE) and the Bayesian procedures. The Bayesian estimators are obtained based on the symmetric and asymmetric loss functions. There are no explicit forms for the Bayesian estimators, therefore, we propose Lindley’s approximation method to compute the Bayesian estimators. A comparison between these estimators is provided by using extensive simulation. A real-life data example is provided to illustrate our proposed estimators.

Full textAbstract:
This paper investigates one kind of interpolation for scattered data by bi-cubic polynomial natural spline, in which the integral of square of partial derivative of two orders to x and to y for the interpolating function is minimal (with natural boundary conditions). Firstly, bi-cubic polynomial natural spline interpolations with four kinds of boundary conditions are studied. By the spline function methods of Hilbert space, their solutions are constructed as the sum of bi-linear polynomials and piecewise bi-cubic polynomials. Some properties of the solutions are also studied. In fact, bi-cubic natural spline interpolation on a rectangular domain is a generalization of the cubic natural spline interpolation on an interval. Secondly, based on bi-cubic polynomial natural spline interpolations of four kinds of boundary conditions, and using partition of unity technique, a Partition of Unity Interpolation Element Method (PUIEM) for fitting scattered data is proposed. Numerical experiments show that the PUIEM is adaptive and outperforms state-of-the-art competitions, such as the thin plate spline interpolation and the bi-cubic polynomial natural spline interpolations for scattered data.

Full textAbstract:
Waste generated by health care activities includes a broad range of materials, from used needles and syringes to soiled dressings, body parts, diagnostic samples, medical devices and radioactive materials. As a result of poor practice and large volumes, only a very small percentage ofmedical waste is actually disposed of properly in final reception units while the rest is unaccounted for potentially exposing the community at large to infection, toxic effects and injuries, and risking polluting the environment.This paper discusses, Greenactions, a novel Pervasive Computing system for the remote end-to-end management of hazardous medical waste. Greenactions provides real-time trace-ability for 100% of medical waste, by continually monitoring the full life cycle of each waste container, from their delivery to the hospitals, through to their collection and disposal, and providing remedial action in real-time, whenever an incident occurs. This is achieved by employing both fixed and handheld RFID and sensortechnology, supported by a state-machine model that knows at any time the current and next state of each waste container. Deployed together with a small fleet of appropriately modified vehicles for waste collection, Greenactions provides an integrated solution can be applied in any waste collection and tracking scenario, without requiring any costly, proprietary infrastructure thus alleviating the burden of medical waste management fromhealth-care units. A prototype system was developed using open source technology that is ready to be deployed to pilot healthcare units in Athens, while a set of KPIs were implemented for evaluating the efficiency of the system.

Full textAbstract:
Malgré l’entrée en vigueur de la Convention des Nations Unies sur les contrats de vente internationale de marchandises il y a 13 ans, et malgré le grand nombre de publications écrites sur ce sujet, ce dernier demeure mal connu des praticiens. C’est pour cette raison que beaucoup de praticiens veulent exclure l’application de la Convention, afin d’éviter l’utilisation d’un instrument qu’ils ne connaissent guère. Néanmoins, l’exclusion de la Convention n’est pas aussi simple que l’on pourrait le croire. Cet article examine, en se référant soit à la doctrine étrangère, soit à la jurisprudence internationale, les éléments que les praticiens doivent prendre en compte lorsqu’ils considèrent l’exclusion de la Convention.

Full textAbstract:
Power utility companies rely on forecasting for the operation of electricity demand. This presents an applicationof linear quantile regression, non-linear quantile regression, and additive quantile regression models for forecasting extreme electricity demand at peak hours such as 18:00, 19:00, 20:00 and 21:00 using Northern Cape data for the period 01 January 2000 to 31 March 2014. The selection of variables was done using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator. Additive quantile regression models were found to be the best fitting models for hours 18:00, and 19:00, whereas linear quantile regression models were found to be the best fitting models for hours 20:00, and 21:00. Out of sample forecasts for seven days (01 to 07 April 2014) were used to solve the unit commitment problem using mixed-integer programming. The unit commitment problem results showed that it is less costly to use all the generating units such as hydroelectric, wind power, concentrated solar power and solar photovoltaic. The main contribution of this study is in the development of models for forecasting hourly extreme peak electricity demand. These results could be useful to system operators in the energy sector who have to maintain the minimum cost by scheduling and dispatching electricity during peak hours when the grid is constrained due to peak load demand.

Full textAbstract:
Depuis 2001 et la recomposition des équilibres de puissance, l'Inde s'affirme comme l'un des acteurs qui compte dans un espace international de plus en plus multipolaire. Les mouvements de fond actuels provoquent une redistribution de cette puissance imposant de nouvelles alliances et de nouveaux jeux de pouvoirs. L'Inde n'est pas étrangère à cette tendance et encore plus depuis l'arrivée au pouvoir, en 2014, de l'actuel Premier ministre, Narendra Modi. Ce dernier conduit une politique extérieure ambitieuse pour que son pays accède à un statut de puissance mondiale. C'est dans ce cadre que se pose notre problématique qui est de savoir dans quelle mesure la place de l'Afrique dans la politique étrangère indienne permet-elle justement à l'Inde de parvenir à se hisser à ce statut de puissance. Pour y répondre, cette thèse investigue trois directions. D'abord, la place de l'océan Indien dans la relation indo-africaine doit rendre compte du rôle de l'Afrique dans la volonté indienne de faire de cet océan un espace pacifique et sécurisé sur lequel l'Inde puisse être un acteur incontournable face à des acteurs politiques puissants et hétérogènes. Ensuite, cette thèse s'attache à déterminer le rôle que l'Afrique joue dans la volonté de l'Inde d'être une puissance ayant une capacité d'influence politique sur la scène internationale au travers des instances internationales, de ses relations bilatérales avec les États africains et de la diaspora indienne installée dans ces pays. Enfin, cette recherche de statut passe par le champ économique et la nécessaire évaluation de l'empreinte économique que l'Inde souhaite imprimer en Afrique pour mieux asseoir ses capacités d'influence. Cette étude doit permettre de donner un éclairage sur la politique extérieure indienne à l'heure où les États-Unis réévaluent leur implication dans l'océan Indien, où la Chine met en place la « One Belt, One Road » et où l'Inde et le Japon viennent de s'unir pour proposer un nouveau partenariat à l'AfriqueSince 2001 and the reshuffling of the balance of power, India has become one of the influential actors in an increasingly multipolar international context. The current groundswells are reshuffling powers between Nations in shaping new alliances and new power games. India is, more than ever, involved in this trend since the current Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, came to power in 2014. He conducts an ambitious foreign policy as a means to make his country a global and respected power. The context of the issue detailed in this document is: to what extent does Africa's place in India's foreign policy enables India to reach this status of power? This thesis investigates the following three themes: Firstly, the Indian Ocean's place in the Indo-African relationship should reflect Africa's role in India's will to make the Indian Ocean region a peaceful and secured space in which India is a decisive player in front of powerful and heterogeneous political actors. Secondly, this thesis focuses on assessing Africa's role in India's initiatives to be an influential player on politics on the international agenda through international bodies, its bilateral relations with African states and the Indian diaspora settled down in these countries. Thirdly, India's search for that particular status goes through the economic area and the assessment of India's economic footprint in Africa to better establish its influence on that Continent. This study tries to shed the light on India's foreign policy while the United States are reassessing their involvement in the Indian Ocean, and while China is setting up its "One Belt, One Road" and India and Japan have just come together to propose a new partnership to Africa

Full textAbstract:
This chapter considers Bénabou’s three major publications: Pourquoi je n’ai écrit aucun de mes livres, Jette ce livre avant qu’il soit trop tard and Jacob, Ménahem et Mimoun. Une épopée familiale. It argues that these three texts, taken together, explore Bénabou's relationship to the rules, routines and traditions that structure his existence, and document his attempts to transform the constraints of tradition into the basis for creativity. For Bénabou, traditions - cultural, familial, literary - become the ground for innovation that allows him to begin to articulate his longed-for singularity as a writer. However, it is not a fully edged, singular authorial self that emerges in Bénabou’s writing, so much as a flock of potential selves. While, on the one hand, there is a powerful drive to a harmonious unity, Bénabou’s life-writing ultimately resists final form in order to cultivate form as a starting point that is full of potential life.

Full textAbstract:
All members of the oral healthcare team have a part to play in patient management, and the team is comprised of the lead dentist (plus other colleagues in the dental practice), the dental nurse, hygienist, receptionist, laboratory technician, and possibly a dental therapist. In the UK, registered dental nurses can take further qualifications in teaching, oral health education, and radiography, and can specialize in other aspects of dentistry, including orthodontics, oral surgery, sedation, and special care. If the dentist wishes to have a second specialist opinion regarding a difficult diagnosis, formulating a care plan or even executing it, they may refer the patient to a specialist dentist working in another practice, or to a hospital-based consultant specialist in restorative dentistry. These specialists have undergone further postgraduate clinical and academic training and gained qualifications enabling them to be registered as specialists with the General Dental Council (GDC) in the UK in their specific trained fields (e.g. endodontics, periodontics, prosthodontics), or have further specialist training in restorative dentistry. The lead dentist will act as a central hub in the coordinating wheel of patient management, possibly outsourcing different aspects of work to relevant specialist colleagues, as spokes of that wheel. This is the clinical environment in which patients are diagnosed and treated. This room has traditionally been known as the ‘dental surgery’, but a more appropriate modern description might be the ‘dental clinic’, as much of the more holistic care offered to patients within its four walls will be non-surgical in the first instance. The operator and nurse must work closely together. To be successful, each must build up an understanding of how the other works. The clinic consists of a dental operating chair with an attached or mobile bracket table carrying the rotary instruments and 3-1 air/water syringe (and possibly the light-cure unit and ultrasonic scaler), work surfaces (which should be as clutter-free as possible for good-quality infection control; see later), cupboards for storage, and two sinks, one for normal hand washing and another for decontaminating soiled instruments prior to sterilization. Often the surgery will also house an X-ray unit for taking intra-oral radiographs. Most clinics are designed to accommodate right-handed practitioners, in terms of the location of many of the instruments and controls.

Cette étude s’attache à évaluer la qualité d’un système de traduction probabiliste état de l’art, LIG-Moses (Potet, 2010), du français vers l’anglais, de la traduction d’expressions poly-lexicales, décrites selon Tutin et al. (2015), dans un document technique, à l’aide de la typologie d’erreurs de Vilar et al. (2006). Nous nous attachons à montrer si l’outil est utilisable par des apprenants pour la traduction d’EPL. De plus, les travaux de Hamilton (2015) ont montré que sur un corpus d’apprenants de L2, pour les erreurs d’acceptabilité textuelle, les erreurs de mise en phrase (i.e locutions figées, expressions idiomatiques, locutions semi-figée, collocations et unités multi-mots, ce qui correspond à la notion d’EPL que nous adoptons dans cet article) ont la plus haute fréquence soit 25,58%. Il s’agit donc d’étudier les types d’erreurs commis par l’outil de Traduction Automatique lors de la traduction d’EPL afin de guider les apprenants sur le choix de l’outil étudié pour la traduction d’EPL en fonction de leur niveau de connaissance de la langue. Après avoir décrit les différents éléments de notre étude, nous montrons que bien que traduites correctement à hauteur de 80%, les EPL qui n’ont pas été traduites correctement ne peuvent être corrigées que par des apprenants ayant un bon niveau de compétence dans la langue cible et une bonne connaissance du domaine du document.

Full textAbstract:
La Méditerranée, « mer blanche » ou mare nostrum, constitue, au regard de l’héritage culturel et des valeurs qu’elle a légués et des liens tissés avec ses habitants, un thème d’étude littéraire au grand potentiel pédagogique, un authentique trésor que nous nous devons d’exploiter en classe de FLE ou de FLM. Nous proposerons au travers de cette communication une nouvelle approche qui permette l’étude de la littérature par projets (unités d’action) comme préconise le CECRL et les programmes d’éducation secondaire européens en prenant comme exemple le motif de la Méditerranée. Il s’agit là de tâcher de couvrir le vide méthodologique sur le sujet signalé par plusieurs didacticiens du FLE. Évidemment, notre proposition didactique n’élude pas tous les travaux réalisés jusque là en didactique de la littérature mais essaie d’adapter la perspective actionnelle à l’étude de la littérature. L’objectif du projet peut revêtir plusieurs formes mais doit, selon nous, provenir d’un métier du monde littéraire (auteur, éditeur, conférencier, etc.) pour que la classe réalise une action qui soit le plus proche possible de celle de l’acteur réel. Avec un accent constructiviste, une approche comparatiste et une logique de contagion, cette méthodologie d’étude de la littérature par projets s’organise en huit phases bien définies que nous expliciterons dans notre présentation. Cette approche nécessite des enseignants compétents et expérimentés, capables de gérer et de « jongler » entre théorie et pratique et de concilier rigidité et flexibilité et savoir anticiper. Même si les élèves travaillent en autonomie et en liberté, certains contenus doivent être abordés. Les étudiants moins motivés ou un peu désorientés pourront être conseillés par le professeur qui leur suggérera des motifs comme la sirène, le dionysiaque, l’olivier, le soleil, la figure matriarcale, etc. L’objectif pédagogique de cette séquence est d’étayer ou infirmer l’affirmation d’Edgard Morin selon laquelle la méditerranée correspond à une « réalité poétique et mythologique » ou celle de Paul Valéry pour qui « la Méditerranée est une machine à faire de la civilisation ».DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/XXVColloqueAFUE.2016.2972
