ABSTRACT Bilateral vocal cord paralysis is the one of the common childhood laryngeal lesions. The treatment modalities include interim tracheostomy and, where needed, permanent irreversible procedures. We report a case of idiopathic bilateral vocal cord palsy in a child, which was managed effectively by the procedure of suture lateralization of the vocal cord. The procedure, its rarity and follow-up of our case is described. How to cite this article Bhate JJ, Menon UK, Madhumita K. A Stitch in Time. Int J Phonosurg Laryngol 2013;3(1):31-33.

Abstract:
Generally, Hidden Time Loss exists besides all procedures and thus it has the direct influence on the rate of productivity. In the line of production, the most prominent tool to measure the performance is Overall Equipment Efficiency. Availability of equipment is one of the component to measure Overall Equipment Efficiency to cater the Hidden Time Loss. Though, in manual assembly and semi-automatic assembly procedure, the Overall Equipment Efficiency is not good fit to measure operational performance of assembly procedure. Along the manual assembly and semi-automatic assembly procedures some Hidden Time Loss has occurred particularly when same line of production provides high variety of product. Therefore, the current research introduces the Non-valued Changeover Time as one component of Time Loss Measures in assemble produces. A comprehensive literature analysis is done on the production operations along with the measures of performance to develop the Non-valued Change-over Time structure. Basically, a case study of two companies of automotive manufacturing is used to find the validity of structure of Non-valued Change-over Time. It is concluded that Non-valued Change-over Time is one of the measure of Hidden Time Loss in manual as well as semi-automatic assembly procedures.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Background Procedural experience for residents and fellows is critical for achieving competence, and documentation of procedures performed is required. Procedure logs serve as the record of this experience, but are commonly generated manually, require substantial administrative effort, and cannot be corroborated for accuracy. Objective We developed and implemented a structured clinical-educational report template (CERT), which automatically generates procedure logs directly from the clinical record. Methods Our CERT aimed to replace the post-procedure note template for our cardiac catheterization laboratory and was incorporated into the electronic health record system. Numbers of documented procedures in automated CERT-derived procedure logs over a 1-year post-intervention period (2018–2019) were compared to manual logs and corrected for clinical volume changes. The CERT's impact on fellowship experience was also assessed. Results Automated CERT procedure logs increased weekly procedural documentation over manual procedure logs for total procedures (24.2 ± 6.1 vs 17.1 ± 6.8, P = .007), left heart catheterizations (14.5 ± 3.6 vs 10.8 ± 4.2, P = .039), total procedural elements (40.2 ± 11.4 versus 20.9 ± 12.5, P < .001), and captured procedural details not previously documented. The CERT also reduced self-reported administrative time and improved fellowship experience. Conclusions A novel CERT allows procedure logs to be automatically derived from the clinical record and increased the number of documented procedures, compared to manual logging. This innovation ensures an accurate record of procedural experience and reduces self-reported non-educational administrative time for cardiology fellows.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT IMPACT: We plan to measure the impact of integrating 3D printed models in the planning process of endovascular procedures with the goal of making a case for using this resource more often. OBJECTIVES/GOALS: To measure the impact of using 3D printed models of patient specific anatomy for pre-procedure planning and as an intra-procedure reference. Impact will be measured by: a. Radiation exposure ; b. Contrast dosage; c. Fluoroscopy time; d. Time to procedural completion; e. ‘Attempts at access,’ when applicable to the procedure METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Retrospective data will be collected on every patient that received one of prostate artery embolism, transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt placement, or endovascular stent repair in the 3 years prior to the first prospective case. An attempt will be made to create a procedure planning model for every patient that receives one of the three procedures of interest in the 5 months following the first prospective case and those that have a model included in their procedure planning process will be included as part of the experimental group. We anticipate this to not include every patient as there will need to be adequate time between the scheduling of the procedure and the procedure start time to be able to create a 3D model. This will make it impossible to include every patient. Our first prospective case was 11/12/20. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: At the time of submission we have very limited data and cannot confidently make a statement regarding results. We anticipate to measure a reduced time to procedural completion, and as a result, decreased radiation exposure, decreased contrast dosage, and decreased fluoroscopy time in the cases that included a 3D printed model in the planning of the procedures when compared to the procedures that did not include a model. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF FINDINGS: Few hospitals are using 3D printing as a regular tool that physicians can access as a part of their procedure preparation. If we are able to measure a significant impact on the efficiency and safety of procedures in interventional radiology, a much more robust argument can be made for including this technique in procedure planning with regularity.

Abstract:
Abstract Background an study aims Polypectomy and endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) are effective and safe ways of removing polyps from the colon at endoscopy. Guidelines exist for advising the time allocation for diagnostic endoscopy but not for polypectomy and EMR. The aim of this study was to identify if time allocated for polypectomy and EMR at planned therapeutic lists in our endoscopy unit is sufficient for procedures to be carried out. We also wanted to identify factors that might be associated with procedures taking longer than the allocated time and to identify factors that might predict duration of these procedures. Patients and methods A retrospective case study of planned 100 lower gastrointestinal EMR and polypectomy procedures at colonoscopy and sigmoidoscopy was performed and analyzed with quantitative analysis. Results The mean actual procedural time (APT) for 100 procedures was 52 minutes and the mean allocated time (AT) was 43.05 minutes. Hence the mean APT was 9 minutes longer than the mean AT. Factors that were significantly associated with procedures taking longer than the allocated time were patient age (P = 0.029) and polyp size (P = 0.005). Factors that significant changed the actual procedure time were patient age (P = 0.018), morphology (P = 0.002) and polyp size (P < 0.001). Procedures involving flat and lateral spreading tumor (LST) type polyps took longer than the protruding ones. On multivariate analysis, polyp size was the only factor that associated with actual procedure time. Number of polyps, quality of bowel preparation, and distance of polyp from insertion did significantly change procedure duration. Conclusion Factors that significantly contribute to duration of polypectomy and EMR at lower gastrointestinal endoscopy include patient age and polyp size and morphology on univariate analysis, with polyp size being the factor with a significant association on multivariate analysis. We recommend that endoscopy units take these factors into consideration locally when allocating time for these procedures to be safe and effective.

Abstract:
Objective: Evaluation of effects of native language—native (L1) versus nonnative (L2)—on procedure performance. Background: Written procedures are used by global industries to facilitate accurate and safe performance of hazardous tasks. Often companies require that all employees be sufficiently literate in English and to use only English versions. Method: Industrial tasks were tested using a virtual reality industrial environment (Second Life®) to explore effects on procedural performance and safety statement adherence. Fifty-four engineering students (27 L2) participated in the study to explore the native language variable. The participants completed the procedures under time pressure and were scored according to procedure performance and hazard comprehension. Results: Analysis of eight procedures showed significant differences between L1 and L2 for procedure performance (specifically for L2 females). There were no language fluency or hazard comprehension differences found between the two groups. Conclusion: The results suggest that (a) the lower procedure performance of L2 readers was not due to English proficiency but more likely to time pressure; (b) implications regarding single language procedures are not fully understood, particularly with regard to gender differences. Application: This research is applicable to high-risk industries providing single language, time critical procedures to multilingual workforces.

Abstract:
Aims: To examine the secular trends in the number and rates of in-hospital cardiac and orthopedic procedures in people with gout and rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and the United States (US) general population, from 1998 to 2014. Methods: We examined the frequency of seven common cardiac and orthopedic procedures in hospitalized people with gout, RA, or the general population using the 1998–2014 US National Inpatient Sample (NIS). Poisson regression evaluated the differences in frequencies in 1998 versus 2014, between gout and RA, and within each cohort. Results: Both in-hospital cardiac and orthopedic procedures increased in gout and RA with time, in contrast with declining cardiac procedures in the general US population. Cardiac procedures were significantly higher in gout versus RA in 1998 (59% higher) and 2014 (92% higher). The rate of cardiac procedures increased from 36.6 to 82.8 in gout and from 20.1 to 33.1 in RA per 100,000 NIS claims from 1998 to 2014. Orthopedic procedures became more common than cardiac procedures in gout and RA by 2014. In RA, the cardiac–orthopedic procedure volume difference was significant in 1998 and 2014. We noted no significant difference between cardiac versus orthopedic procedures in 1998 in gout, but the difference was significant in 2014. Orthopedic procedures in gout were significantly lower than RA in 1998 (33% lower), but were significantly higher than RA in 2014 (5% higher). Conclusion: Increasing in-hospital cardiac procedures in gout and RA contrasting with declining general US population rates indicated that optimal management of systemic inflammation and an early diagnosis of gout and RA are needed. The rate of increase in orthopedic procedures exceeded that in cardiac procedures. A much greater volume and rate of increase in common in-hospital cardiac and orthopedic procedures in gout compared to RA indicates that an aggressive approach to treat-to-target in gout is needed to potentially reduce the associated healthcare burden and cost. Plain language summary Cardiac and orthopedic procedures rising faster for gout compared to rheumatoid arthritis in the United States We performed a national US study of the most common cardiac versus orthopedic procedures from 1998 to 2014. We found that over time, the number and the rate of cardiac procedures increased in people with gout (2.2-fold higher) or rheumatoid arthritis (1.6-fold higher). This was surprising, since during the same time, we noted a decrease in cardiac procedures in the general U.S. population. The rate of cardiac procedures in gout was 2.5-fold higher than that in rheumatoid arthritis, 82.8 vs. 33.1 per 100,000 NIS claims in 2014. Interestingly, orthopedic procedures were more common than cardiac procedures in both gout and RA in all periods. Also, the difference in the numbers of cardiac vs. orthopedic procedures increased over time in both gout and RA. Gout outpaced rheumatoid arthritis for both the total number and the rate of cardiac or orthopedic procedures over time. Therefore, our study provides an understanding of an increasing procedure burden in gout compared to rheumatoid arthritis, and to the general U.S. people with these conditions.

Abstract:
In this dissertation empirical Bayes estimators for the coefficients in time series regression models are presented. Due to the uncontrollability of time series observations, explanatory variables in each stage do not remain unchanged. A generalization of the results of O'Bryan and Susarla is established and shown to be an extension of the results of Martz and Krutchkoff. Alternatively, as the distribution function of sample observations is hard to obtain except asymptotically, the results of Griffin and Krutchkoff on empirical linear Bayes estimation are extended and then applied to estimating the coefficients in time series regression models. Comparisons between the performance of these two approaches are also made. Finally, predictions in time series regression models using empirical Bayes estimators and empirical linear Bayes estimators are discussed.<br>Ph. D.

Abstract:
Time-In, A Logical Consequence for Misbehaving Students, studied the effects of a primary school discipline program designed and implemented by a trainee school counsellor. The program delivered a series of logical consequences for students' misbehaviour and a formalized entry point for counselling intervention. The program was based on a critical incident technique that required teachers to issue infringement notices to misbehaving students who failed to respond to warnings or contravened existing rules regarding safe and responsible behaviour. Counselling and system responses (loss of privileges, parent notification, in school suspension, exclusion) occurred within an established formula dependent on the number of infringements accruing to the student. The school counsellor assumed full responsibility for the collection of infringements, monitoring of on-going student misbehaviour, parental contact and overall management functions of the host school's discipline program. Counselling sessions and mode of therapy were selected and employed to meet the specific needs of misbehaving students once extended misbehaviour patterns emerged. Data collected throughout the study's duration (one year) indicated a decline in the number of recurring offenders and a drop-off in the number of infringements received by those pupils who continued to transgress school policies regarding safe and responsible behaviour. Five hundred and forty-seven infringement notices were issued during the study which resulted in a total of 83 counselling sessions. Male students dominated all categories of misbehaviour and accounted for 86% of the infringements issued. Seventy-seven per cent of infringements issued were from class teacher to students in the class setting. Three questionnaires were administered at the end of the program to teachers, parents and students. Both parent and teacher questionnaire results supported Time-In procedures but almost half of the students responded negatively to the continuation of the program. Several hypotheses were posited for this outcome.

Abstract:
Thesis: S.M., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics, 2018.<br>Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.<br>Includes bibliographical references (pages 97-99).<br>Astronauts on Long Duration Missions (LDMs) will face complex problems for which they are untrained. Rehearsal may be unfeasible; the task need be completed on the first attempt and preparation is limited to a review of the electronic procedures (EPs). This motivates Just-In-Time Training (JITT): Astronauts learn- generic skills and EPs recombine these skills to train the new task immediately prior to execution. EPs typically have a fixed level of depth of detail, which ignores individual astronaut competence and the task's hierarchical step/sub-step structure. One astronaut may need details for all sub-steps, whereas another may simply refer to the highest level steps. By varying depth of detail, an astronaut may be able to customize the EPs to aid task performance by reducing extraneous cognitive load and focusing attention to salient features. The question is whether this approach reduces errors when a space telerobotics task is performed for the first time. To answer this, an experiment was carried out over two days on a desktop robotics simulator. On Day 1, all subjects (n=14) were trained to criterion on robotics skills, and were required to pass a screening assessment for continued participation in the experiment. On Day 2, JITT was given as a 30 minute period for procedure review before performing the task. Control group subjects were given non-alterable procedures, while the treatment group was able to customize. Customized JITT led to a lower error count (Mcontroi = 26.3, Mtreatment = 4.6, p = 0.023, mixed regression), and greater accuracy in adhering to the procedures (Mcontro = 82%, Mtreatment = 91%, p = 0.067, Welch's two-sample t-test, SDcontroi = 11%, SDtreatment = 3.6%, p = 0.014, f-test). Despite attempts to balance subject proficiency between groups, the treatment group was noted to exhibit a lower error rate during Day 1 training. So, while these results support the perspective that customization reduced extraneous cognitive load, there remains a potential confound of unbalanced groups.

Abstract:
Precise point positioning (PPP) is a technique for processing Global Navi- gation Satellite Systems (GNSS) data, often using recursive estimation methods e.g. a Kalman Filter, that can achieve centimetric accuracies using a single receiver. PPP is now the dominant real-time application in o shore marine positioning industry. For high precision real-time applications it is necessary to use high rate orbit and clock corrections in addition to high rate observations. As Kalman filters require input of process and measurement noise statistics, not precisely known in practice, the filter is non-optimal. Geodetic quality control procedures as developed by Baarda in the 1960s are well established and their extension to GNSS is mature. This methodology, largely unchanged since the 1990s, is now being applied to processing techniques that estimate more parameters and utilise many more observations at higher rates. \Detection, Identification and Adaption" (DIA), developed from an optimal filter perspective and utilising Baarda's methodology, is a widely adopted GNSS quality control procedure. DIA utilises various test statistics, which require observation residuals and their variances. Correct derivation of the local test statistic requires residuals at a given epoch to be uncorrelated with those from previous epochs. It is shown that for a non-optimal filter the autocorrelations between observations at successive epochs are non-zero which has implications for proper application of DIA. Whilst less problematic for longer data sampling periods, high rate data using real-time PPP results in significant time correlations between residuals over short periods. It is possible to model time correlations in the residuals as an autoregressive process. Using the autoregressive parameters, the effect of time correlation in the residuals can be removed, creating so-called whitened residuals and their variances. Thus a whitened test statistic can be formed, that satisfies the preferred assumption of uncorrelated residuals over time. The effectiveness of this whitened test statistic and its impact on quality control is evaluated.

Abstract:
Doctor of Philosophy<br>Electrical and Computer Engineering<br>Anil Pahwa<br>Noel N. Schulz<br>Microgrids with distributed generators have changed how protection and control systems are designed. Protection systems in conventional U.S. distribution systems are radial with the assumption that current flows always from the utility source to the end user. However, in a microgrid with distributed generators, currents along power lines do not always flow in one direction. Therefore, protection systems must be adapted to different circuit paths depending on distributed generator sites in the microgrid and maximum fuse ampere ratings on busses. Adaptive overcurrent protection focuses on objectives and constraints based on operation, maximum load demand, equipment, and utility service limitations. Adaptive overcurrent protection was designed to protect the power lines and bus feeders of the microgrid with distributed generators by coordinating fuses and relays in the microgrid. Adaptive overcurrent protection was based on the relay setting group and protection logic methods. Non-real-time simulator (NRTS) and real-time simulator (RTS) experiments were performed with computer-based simulators. Tests with two relays in the loop proved that primary relays tripped faster than backup relays for selectivity coordination in the adaptive overcurrent protection system. Relay test results from tripping and non-tripping tests showed that adaptive inverse time overcurrent protection achieved selectivity, speed, and reliability. The RTS and NRTS with two relays in the loop techniques were described and compared in this work. The author was the first graduate student to implement real-time simulation with two relays in the loop at the Burns & McDonnell - K-State Smart Grid Laboratory. The RTS experimental circuit and project are detailed in this work so other graduate students can apply this technique with relays in the loop in smart grid research areas such as phasor measurement units, adaptive protection, communication, and cyber security applications.

Abstract:
In this thesis we consider a Time-Dependent Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows (TDVRPTW) which is solved by a Branch and Cut and Price (BCP) algorithm. The decomposition of an arc based formulation leads to a set-partitioning problem as the master problem, and a Time-Dependent Elementary Shortest Path Problem with Resource Constraints (TDESPPRC) as the pricing problem. The main contribution of this thesis is the modified fathoming and bounding procedures applied on bi-directional Time-Dependent Labeling algorithm (TDL) which is used solve the TDESPPRC. The aim of the fathoming proposed is to solve TDVRPTW more efficiently by not extending the unproductive labels in bi-directional TDL algorithm. Moreover, an arc bounding model is introduced to stop the extension of labels as an alternative to resource bounding used in bi-directional search. In addition, independent from the work on TDVRPTW, the thesis includes an effects analysis of a new customer on Kuehne+Nagel(K+N) Netherlands Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) and returns distribution network. This study focused on analyzing the current performance of the distribution network and evaluating the scenarios for K+N&rsquo<br>s future distribution network by a simulation study.

Another fundamental aspect which must be considered in dealing with information about patients and medical professionals is security, considering criteria such as integrity, confidentiality and authenticity of this information. In this work, we have developed an original telemedicine method for monitoring and remotely interaction among medical experts, in real time, during the performance of video-colonoscopic procedures. For data protection, secure transmission and efficient use of information related to patients and their examinations, we have proposed a specific security method. Both methods were implemented in a computing system by applying Web technology and open source tools. In order to assess the performance of this system, we have evaluated the transmission rate in frames per second (FPS) during the streaming of an uncompressed video. We performed our experiments simulating real environments in two different scenarios with distinct resolutions, one being characterized only by the local network and the second considering the local network and the Internet.

Abstract:
There is a great amount of building stock built in earthquake regions where earthquakes frequently occur. It is very probable that such buildings experience earthquakes more than once throughout their economic life. The motivation of this thesis arose from the lack of procedures to determine the change in building capacity as a result of prior earthquake damage. This study focuses on establishing a method that can be employed to determine the loss in the building capacity after experiencing an earthquake. In order to achieve this goal a number of frames were analyzed under several randomly selected earthquakes. Nonlinear time-history analyses and nonlinear static analyses were conducted to assess the prior and subsequent capacities of the frames under consideration. The structural analysis programs DRAIN-2DX and SAP2000 were employed for this purpose. The capacity curves obtained by these methods were investigated to propose a procedure by which the capacity of previously damaged structures can be determined. For time-history analyses the prior earthquake damage can be taken into account by applying the ground motion histories successively to the structure under consideration. In the case of nonlinear static analyses this was achieved by modifying the elements of the damaged structure in relation to the plastic deformation they experience. Finally a simple approximate procedure was developed using the regression analysis of the results. This procedure relies on the modification of the structure stiffness in proportion to the ductility demand the former earthquake imposes. The proposed procedures were applied to an existing 3D building to validate their applicability.

Abstract:
Since grass is abundant on our planet it plays an important role in the rendering of many different outdoor scenes. This study focuses on the real-time rendering of many individual grass blades with geometry. As a grass blade in real life is very thin and have a simple shape it can be represented with only a handful of vertices. The challenge is introduced when a meadow of grass is to be rendered as it can contain billions of grass blades. Two different algorithms were developed; one which use traditional vertex buffers to store and render the grass blades while the other makes use of textures. Quantitative data was generated from these algorithms. Among this data were images of the scene. These images were subjected to a questionnaire to collect qualitative information about the grass. All the generated data was then analyzed and interpreted to find advantages and disadvantages of the algorithms. The buffer-based algorithm was found to be slightly more computationally efficient compared to the texture-based algorithm. The quality of the visual result was perceived to be towards good while the realism was perceived as mediocre at best. The advantage of the texture-based algorithm is that it allows more options to handle the grass blades data when rendering. Using the terrain data to generate the grass blades was concluded to be advantageous. The realism of the grass could have been improved by using a grass blade texture as well as introducing variety in density and grass species.<br>Eftersom gräs är rikligt på vår planet spelar den en viktig roll vid renderingen av många olika utomhusscener. Denna studie fokuserar på realtidsrendering av många individuella gräsblad med geometri. Eftersom ett gräsblad i verkligheten är mycket tunnt och har en enkel form kan den representeras med endast en handfull vertiser. Utmaningen introduceras när en äng av gräs ska renderas eftersom som den kan innehålla miljarder gräsblad. Två olika algoritmer utvecklades, en som använder traditionella vertex buffrar för att lagra och rendera gräsbladen medan den andra använder sig av texturer. Kvantitativ data genererades från dessa algoritmer. Bland denna data fanns bilder av scenen. Dessa bilder utsattes för ett frågeformulär för att samla in kvalitativ information om gräset. All den data som genereras analyserades och tolkades för att hitta fördelar och nackdelar med algoritmerna. Den bufferbaserade algoritmen upptäcktes vara beräkningsmässigt effektivare jämfört med den texturbaserade algoritmen. Den upplevda kvalitén på det visuella resultatet ansågs vara närmare bra medan realismen uppfattades som medioker i bästa fall. Fördelen med den texturen-baserad algoritm är att den tillåter fler möjligheter att hantera gräsblads-data vid rendering. Slutsatsen av att använda terrängens data för att generera gräsbladen sågs vara fördelaktigt. Realismen av gräset kunde förbättrats genom att använda en gräsblads-textur, samt variation i densitet och gräsarter.

Abstract:
&lt;p&gt;Steel-concrete composite structures are widely used throughout the world for buildings and bridges. A distinguishing feature of this form of construction is the combination of concrete and steel components to achieve enhanced structural performance. &lt;p&gt;The time-dependent response of concrete and its infl uence on the service behaviour and design of composite structures are the main focus of this SED. For the fi rst time, a publication combines a state-of-the-art review of the research with the available design specifi cations of Europe, Australia and New Zealand, and USA. This publication intends to enhance the awareness of the service response of composite structures and of the latest research and standards’ developments. It is aimed at designers and researchers alike. &lt;p&gt;The review of research available in open literature is provided and arranged according to structural typologies, i. e. slabs, beams, and columns. It serves as background information for current service design rules and provides insight into the most recent research advancements. The review of available design guidelines presents the similarities and differences of the recommended service design procedures infl uenced by concrete time effects. Selected case studies of building and bridge projects show possible design approaches and the rationale required when dealing with the time-dependent response and design of composite structures. The authors of this publication are design engineers and academics involved in the service design and research on the time-dependent response of composite structures.

Full text
Abstract:
AbstractWhen developing complex software and systems, contracts provide a means for controlling the complexity by dividing the responsibilities among the components of the system in a hierarchical fashion. In specific application areas, dedicated contract theories formalise the notion of contract and the operations on contracts in a manner that supports best the development of systems in that area. At the other end, contract meta-theories attempt to provide a systematic view on the various contract theories by axiomatising their desired properties. However, there exists a noticeable gap between the most well-known contract meta-theory of Benveniste et al. [5], which focuses on the design of embedded and cyber-physical systems, and the established way of using contracts when developing general software, following Meyer’s design-by-contract methodology [18]. At the core of this gap appears to be the notion of procedure: while it is a central unit of composition in software development, the meta-theory does not suggest an obvious way of treating procedures as components.In this paper, we provide a first step towards a contract theory that takes procedures as the basic building block, and is at the same time an instantiation of the meta-theory. To this end, we propose an abstract contract theory for sequential programming languages with procedures, based on denotational semantics. We show that, on the one hand, the specification of contracts of procedures in Hoare logic, and their procedure-modular verification, can be cast naturally in the framework of our abstract contract theory. On the other hand, we also show our contract theory to fulfil the axioms of the meta-theory. In this way, we give further evidence for the utility of the meta-theory, and prepare the ground for combining our instantiation with other, already existing instantiations.

Abstract:
AbstractComputer-assisted surgery (CAS) and navigation offers significant improvements in patient orientation and safety in every facet of our specialty of maxillofacial surgery. Ranging from precisely planned orthognathic procedures to the removal of foreign bodies requiring extremely flexible surgical options, and from minimally invasive dental implantology procedures to radical tumor resections of the skull base, they have made their mark for improving the procedure safety, predictability, and accuracy of surgery and options for intraoperative adaptations. In the future, the application of CAS is expected to further reduce operative risks and surgery time, accompanied by a considerable decrease in patient stress.Navigation systems are effective for delicate and accurate oral and maxillofacial surgery, neurosurgery, otolaryngology, and orthopedic surgery.This section presents an overview of available navigation systems and their applications with a focus on clinical utility and the solutions they offer for problems/challenges in the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery.

Abstract:
AbstractNoninvasive, robust, and reproducible methods to image kidneys are provided by different imaging modalities. A combination of modalities (multimodality) can give better insight into structure and function and to understand the physiology of the kidney. Magnetic resonance imaging can be complemented by a multimodal imaging approach to obtain additional information or include interventional procedures. In the clinic, renal ultrasound has been essential for the diagnosis and management of kidney disease and for the guidance of invasive procedures for a long time. Adapting ultrasound to preclinical requirements and for translational research, the combination with photoacoustic imaging expands the capabilities to obtain anatomical, functional, and molecular information from animal models. This chapter describes the basic concepts of how to image kidneys using different and most appropriate modalities.This chapter is based upon work from the COST Action PARENCHIMA, a community-driven network funded by the European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) program of the European Union, which aims to improve the reproducibility and standardization of renal MRI biomarkers. This introduction chapter is complemented by two separate chapters describing the experimental procedure and data analysis.

Full text
Abstract:
The literature that employs Regression Discontinuity Designs (RDD) typically stacks data across time periods and cutoff values. While practical, this procedure omits useful time heterogeneity. In this paper we decompose the RDD treatment effect into its weighted time-value parts. This analysis adds richness to the RDD estimand, where each time-specific component can be different and informative in a manner that is not expressed by the single cutoff or pooled regressions. To illustrate our methodology, we present two empirical examples: one using repeated cross-sectional data and another using time-series. Overall, we show a significant heterogeneity in both cutoff and time-specific effects. From a policy standpoint, this heterogeneity can pick up key differences in treatment across economically relevant episodes. Finally, we propose a new estimator that uses all observations from the original design and which captures the incremental effect of policy given a state variable. We show that this estimator is generally more precise compared to those that exclude observations exposed to other cutoffs or time periods. Our proposed framework is simple and easily replicable and can be applied to any RDD application that carries an explicitly traceable time dimension.

Abstract:
The main objectives of this study are to investigate the trends in primary pavement materials’ unit price over time and to develop statistical models and guidelines for using predictive unit prices of pavement materials instead of uniform unit prices in life cycle cost analysis (LCCA) for future maintenance and rehabilitation (M&amp;R) projects. Various socio-economic data were collected for the past 20 years (1997–2018) in California, including oil price, population, government expenditure in transportation, vehicle registration, and other key variables, in order to identify factors affecting pavement materials’ unit price. Additionally, the unit price records of the popular pavement materials were categorized by project size (small, medium, large, and extra-large). The critical variables were chosen after identifying their correlations, and the future values of each variable were predicted through time-series analysis. Multiple regression models using selected socio-economic variables were developed to predict the future values of pavement materials’ unit price. A case study was used to compare the results between the uniform unit prices in the current LCCA procedures and the unit prices predicted in this study. In LCCA, long-term prediction involves uncertainties due to unexpected economic trends and industrial demand and supply conditions. Economic recessions and a global pandemic are examples of unexpected events which can have a significant influence on variations in material unit prices and project costs. Nevertheless, the data-driven scientific approach as described in this research reduces risk caused by such uncertainties and enables reasonable predictions for the future. The statistical models developed to predict the future unit prices of the pavement materials through this research can be implemented to enhance the current LCCA procedure and predict more realistic unit prices and project costs for the future M&amp;R activities, thus promoting the most cost-effective alternative in LCCA.

Abstract:
This project summarizes the results from 2000–2020and evaluates the trueness andthequality control (QC) procedures of the ongoing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)and trace element measurements in Finlandrelating to Air Quality (AQ) Directive 2004/107/EC. The evaluation was focused on benzo(a)pyrene and other PAH compounds as well as arsenic, cadmium and nickel in PM10and deposition. Additionally, it included lead and other metals in PM10and deposition, gaseous mercury and mercury deposition, andbriefly other specificAQ measurements such as volatile organic compounds (VOC)and PM2.5chemical composition. This project was conducted by the National Reference Laboratory on air quality and thiswas the first time these measurements were assessed. A major part of the project was field and laboratory audits of the ongoing PAH and metal measurements. Other measurements were briefly evaluated through interviews and available literature. In addition, the national AQ database, the expertise of local measurement networks and related publications were utilised. In total, all theseven measurement networks performing PAH and metal measurements in 2019–2020took part in the audits. Eleven stations were audited while these measurements are performed at 22 AQ stations in Finland. For the large networks, one station was chosen to represent the performance of the network. The audits included also six laboratories performing the analysis of the collected samples. The audits revealed the compliance of the measurements with the AQ Decree 113/2017, Directive 2004/107/EC and Standards of the European Committee for Standardization(CEN). In addition, general information of the measurements, instruments and quality control procedures were gained. The results of the laboratory audits were confidential,but this report includes general findings, and the measurement networks were informed on the audit results with the permission of the participating laboratories. As a conclusion, the measurementmethodsusedwere mainly reference methods. Currently, all sampling methods were reference methods; however, before 2018 three networks used other methods that may have underestimated concentrations. Regarding these measurements, it should be noted the results are notcomparable with the reference method. Laboratory methods were reference methods excluding two cases, where the first was considered an acceptable equivalent method. For the other, a change to a reference method was strongly recommended and this realized in 2020. For some new measurements, the ongoing QC procedures were not yet fully established, and advice were given. Some networks used consultant for calibration and maintenance, and thus theywere not fully aware of the QC procedures. EN Standards were mostly followed. Main concerns were related to the checks of flow and calculation of measurement uncertainty, and suggestions for improvement were given. When the measurement networks implement the recommendations given inthe audits, it can be concluded that the EN Standards are adequately followed in the networks. In the ongoing sampling, clear factors risking the trueness of the result were not found. This applies also for the laboratory analyses in 2020. One network had concentrations above the target value, and theindicative measurementsshould be updated to fixed measurements.

Full text
Abstract:
With the recent identification of the Wabash Valley Seismic Zone in addition to the New Madrid Seismic Zone, Indiana’s Department of Transportation (INDOT) has become concerned with ensuring the adequate seismic performance of their bridge network. While INDOT made an effort to reduce the seismic vulnerability of newly-constructed bridges, many less recent bridges still have the potential for vulnerability. Analyzing these bridges’ seismic vulnerability is a vital task. However, developing a detailed dynamic model for every bridge in the state using information from structural drawings is rather tedious and time-consuming. In this study, we develop a simplified dynamic assessment procedure using readily-available information from INDOT’s Bridge Asset Management Program (BIAS), to rapidly identify vulnerable bridges throughout the state. Eight additional data items are recommended to be added into BIAS to support the procedure. The procedure is applied in the Excel file to create a tool, which is able to automatically implement the simplified bridge seismic analysis procedure. The simplified dynamic assessment procedure and the Excel tool enable INDOT to perform seismic vulnerability assessment and identify bridges more frequently. INDOT can prioritize these bridges for seismic retrofits and efficiently ensure the adequate seismic performance of their assets.

Sending SMS reminders increased the probability of on-time renewals of IDs by 12 percentage points, while also allowing citizens to renew their IDs online only increased renewals by 8 percentage points. Providing an online option (instead of in-person renewals) was less effective due to a poor user experience with the online procedure. The poorest individuals who received reminders were also more likely to receive transfers from an emergency in-kind transfer delivered through digital vouchers.

Abstract:
Attention to mixed methods studies research has increased in recent years, particularly among funding agencies that increasingly require a mixed methods approach for program evaluation. At the same time, researchers operating within large-scale, rapid-turnaround research projects are faced with the reality that collection and analysis of large amounts of qualitative data typically require an intense amount of project resources and time. However, practical examples of efficiently collecting and handling high-quality qualitative data within these studies are limited. More examples are also needed of procedures for integrating the qualitative and quantitative strands of a study from design to interpretation in ways that can facilitate efficiencies. This paper provides a detailed description of the strategies used to collect and analyze qualitative data in what the research team believed to be an efficient, high-quality way within a team-based mixed methods evaluation study of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) high-school education. The research team employed an iterative approach to qualitative data analysis that combined matrix analyses with Microsoft Excel and the qualitative data analysis software program ATLAS.ti. This approach yielded a number of practical benefits. Selected preliminary results illustrate how this approach can simplify analysis and facilitate data integration.

Abstract:
With intensifying emphasis on episodes of care and bundled payments for surgical admissions, anesthesia expenditures are increasingly important in assessing variation in expenditures for surgical episodes. When comparing anesthesia expenditures across surgical settings, adjustment for anesthesia case complexity and duration of anesthesia services, also known as anesthesia service intensity, is desirable. A single anesthesia intensity measure allows researchers to make more direct comparisons between anesthesia outcomes across settings and services. We describe a process for creating a claims-based anesthesia intensity measure using Medicare claims. We create the measure using two fields: base units associated with American Medical Association Current Procedural Terminology codes on the anesthesia claim and time units associated with the service. We rescaled the time component of the anesthesia intensity measure to equally represent base units and time units. For illustration, we applied the measure to Medicare anesthesia expenditures stratified by rural/urban location. We found that adjustments for intensity were greater in urban settings because the level of intensity is greater. Compared with rural settings, unadjusted expenditures in urban settings are roughly 26 percent higher, whereas adjusted expenditures in urban settings are only 20 percent higher. Even absent longitudinal data, researchers can adjust anesthesia outcomes for intensity using our cross-sectional claims-based intensity method.
