Abstract:
Contact tracing using provider referral is often perceived as time-consuming. To assess the workload involved in provider referral at a sexual health clinic, we studied the number of attempts required, the contact method used, the time taken and the success of provider referral for 230 contacts referred over a 3-year period. For 87% of these contacts, a mobile number was available; 78.7% of these were successfully contacted. A median of two calls was required and the median time to complete the contact tracing process was within the same day. In 91% of cases, contact tracing was successful. In our setting, provider notification was not time-consuming.

Abstract:
AbstractA continuing issue in work on language contact has been determining the relative borrowability of various structural features. It is easy to imagine, for example, how a tendency to use particular word order patterns in one language might be replicated by bilinguals in another, but difficult to understand how abstract morphological structures could be transferred. When we look at linguistic areas, however, we often find grammatical features shared by genetically unrelated languages that seem unborrowable. Here we consider the importance of adding the dimension of time to investigations into the potential effects of contact. As a point of departure we examine a relatively straightforward example from western North America, a striking parallelism in verbal structure among large numbers of languages indigenous to California. The example illustrates the fact that parallel grammatical structures in neighboring languages need not have been borrowed in their current form. They might instead be the result of an earlier transfer of patterns of expression that set the stage for subsequent parallel developments.

Abstract:
The question of how and why change occurs is a persistent theme in research on language contact and sociolinguistics. In this article, I investigate the role of social context in producing change and maintenance in a contact variety of Andean Spanish. Two generations of speakers in a Quechua-Spanish contact zone in central Bolivia interpret stress shift on the first person imperfect past tense as a marker of the “reminiscent past.” An emergent but unstable grammatical distinction is entwined with lived experience and speakers’ positioning as social actors. Both stability and change are produced by speakers through practice and are closely related to the iconization of contact features as symbols of social orientation and experience.

Abstract:
SUMMARYSchool closure is one of the most common interventions in the early weeks of an influenza pandemic. Few studies have investigated social contact patterns and compared individual student contact characteristics during the school term and holiday periods in Taiwan. Here, we conducted a well-used questionnaire survey in a junior high school (grades 7–8) in June 2013. All 150 diary-based effective questionnaires covering conversation and skin-to-skin contact behaviour were surveyed. Two questionnaires for each participant were designed to investigate the individual-level difference of contact numbers per day during the two periods. The questionnaire response rate was 44%. The average number of contacts during term time (20·0 contacts per day) and holiday periods (12·6 contacts per day) were significantly different (P < 0·05). The dominant contact frequencies and duration were everyday contact (89·10%) and contacts lasting less than 5 minutes (37·09%). The greatest differences occurred within the 13–19 years age groups. The result presented in this study provide an indication of the likely reduction in daily contact frequency that might occur if a school closure policy was adopted in the event of an influenza pandemic in Taiwan. Comparing contact patterns during term time and holiday periods, the number of contacts decreased by 40%. This study is the first research to investigate the contact numbers and contact characteristics for school-age children during the school term and a holiday period in Taiwan. With regard to public health, this study could provide the basic contact information and database for modelling influenza epidemics for minimizing the spread of influenza that depends on personal contacts for transmission.

Abstract:
SUMMARYTo characterize contacts in general wards, a prospective survey of healthcare workers (HCWs), patients and visitors was conducted using self-reported diary, direct observation and telephone interviews. Nurses, doctors and assorted HCWs reported a median of 14, 18 and 15 contact persons over one work shift, respectively. Within 1 h, we observed 3·5 episodes with 25·6 min of cumulative contact time for nurses, 2·9 episodes and 22·1 min for doctors and 5·0 episodes with 44·3 min for assorted-HCWs. In interactions with patients, nurses had multiple brief episodes of contact; doctors had fewer episodes and less cumulative contact time; assorted-HCWs had fewer contact episodes of longer durations (than for nurses and doctors). Assortative mixing occurred amongst HCWs: those of the same HCW type were the next most frequent class of contact after patients. Over 24-h, patients contacted 14 persons with 23 episodes and 314·5 min of contact time. Patient-to-patient contact episodes were rare, but a maximum of five were documented from one patient participant. 22·9% of visitors reported contact with patients other than the one they visited. Our study revealed differences in the characteristics of contacts among different HCW types and potential transmission routes from patients to others within the ward environment.

Abstract:
Time-to-contact (TTC) is defined as the remaining time for an object to reach the observer. This is an important quantity for timing an action such as hitting or catching a ball. This thesis deals with learning processes in TTC perception when binocular vision is available. Chapter 1 studies the learning of TTC in relative discrimination tasks. We did not find learning in this task, but we found that simple correlates of TTC explained the judgments made by the participants. Chapter 2 studies the learning of TTC in absolute estimation tasks. We found that the variable and constant error of the responses reduced with training. Chapter 3 studied the use of feedback in calibrating the timing of TTC estimates. We found that biased timing produced changes in the constant error, suggesting that TTC calibration is guided by feedback. Chapter 4 studied if the reduction of variable error was due to an increased perceptual sensitivity to TTC. However, we failed to find transfer from the absolute estimation tasks to relative discrimination tasks, suggesting that the learning found in Chapter 2 might not be of perceptual origin. In Chapter 5 we studied a large group of participants in laboratory tasks and a natural hitting task. We found that the performance in relative discrimination and absolute estimation tasks could be used to predict hitting skill. This suggests that the perception of TTC can be linked with interceptive timing. Taken together, these results suggest that perceptual sensitivity to TTC changes slightly -if at all- with training, but changes in perceptuo-motor mapping and calibration of the estimates that increase interceptive performance do take place.

Abstract:
Synthesizing sounds which occur when physically-simulated objects collide in a virtual environment can give more dynamic and realistic sounds compared to pre-recorded sound effects. This real-time computation of sound samples can be computationally intense. In this study we investigate a synthesis algorithm operating in the frequency domain, previously shown to be more efficient than time domain synthesis, and propose a further optimization using multi-threading on the CPU. The multi-threaded synthesis algorithm was designed and implemented as part of a game being developed by Axolot Games. Measurements were done in three stress-testing cases to investigate how multi-threading improved the synthesis performance. Compared to our single-threaded approach, the synthesis speed was improved by 80% when using 8 threads, running on an i7 processor with hyper-threading enabled. We conclude that synthesis of contact sounds is viable for games and similar real-time applications, when using the investigated optimization. 140000 mode shapes were synthesized 30% faster than real-time, and this is arguably much more than a user can distinguish.
Syntetisering av ljud som uppstår när fysikobjekt kolliderar i en virtuell miljö kan ge mer dynamiska och realistiska ljudeffekter, men är krävande att beräkna. I det här examensarbetet implementerades ljudsyntes i frekvensdomänen baserat på en tidigare studie, och utvecklades sedan vidare till att utnyttja multipla trådar. Enligt mätningar i tre olika testfall kunde den multitrådade implementationen syntetisera 80% fler ljudvågor än den enkeltrådade, på en i7-processor.

Accidents are relatively rare, and this makes it difficult to study the impact of traffic system changes or vehicle control changes on accident rates. One potential solution to this problem is the use of time-to-contact (TTC) statistics as a proxy for accident probabilities. Low TTC can be used as a measure of potential danger. Simulations were performed to explore whether inverse TTC can serve as a good proxy of accident probability. The resulting data was then analyzed to investigate how inverse TTC varies with the mixture of vehicles with bilateral control as opposed to car-following control. Previously, it was found that a relatively high mixture ratio is needed to prevent phantom traffic jams. The results in this paper show that there is a benefit to mixing bilateral control cars into general traffic, even at relatively low mixture ratios. Simulations were also performed to see how acceleration and jerk vary with the mixture of vehicles with bilateral control so that passenger comfort could be quantified. The results show that bilateral control improves passenger comfort.

Abstract:
Das Problem des fehlenden Augenkontaktes vermindert den Eindruck einer natürlichen Kommunikationssituation bei Videokonferenzen. Während eine Person auf den Bildschirm blickt, wird sie von Kameras aufgenommen, die sich normalerweise direkt daneben befinden. Mit dem Aufkommen von massiv paralleler Computer Hardware und ganz speziell den sehr leistungsstarken Spielegrafikkarten ist es möglich geworden, viele Eingabeansichten für eine Echtzeit 3D Rekonstruktion zu verarbeiten. Eine größere Anzahl von Eingabeansichten mildert Verdeckungsprobleme ab und führt zu vollständigeren 3D Daten. In dieser Arbeit werden neue Algorithmen vorgeschlagen, welche eine hochqualitative Echtzeit 3D Rekonstruktion, die kontinuierliche Anpassung der photometrischen Kameraparameter und die benutzerunabhängige Schätzung der Augenkontaktkameras ermöglichen. Die Echtzeit 3D Analyse besteht aus zwei komplementären Ansätzen. Einerseits gibt es einen Algorithmus, der auf der Verarbeitung geometrischer Formen basiert und auf der anderen Seite steht eine patchbasierte Technik, die 3D Hypothesen durch das Vergleichen von Bildtexturen evaluiert. Zur Vorbereitung für die Bildsynthese ist es notwendig, Texturen von verschiedenen Ansichten anzugleichen. Hierfür wird die Anwendung eines neuen Algorithmus zur kontinuierlichen photometrischen Justierung der Kameraparameter vorgeschlagen. Die photometrische Anpassung wird iterativ, im Wechsel mit einer 3D Registrierung der entsprechenden Ansichten, ausgeführt. So ist die Qualität der photometrischen Parameter direkt mit jener der Ergebnisse der 3D Analyse verbunden und vice versa. Eine weitere wichtige Voraussetzung für eine korrekte Synthese der Augenkontaktansicht ist die Schätzung einer passenden virtuellen Augenkontaktkamera. Hierfür wird die Augenkontaktkamera kontinuierlich an die Augenposition der Benutzer angeglichen. Auf diese Weise wird eine virtuelle Kommunikationsumgebung geschaffen, die eine natürlichere Kommunikation ermöglicht.
A major problem, that decreases the naturalness of conversations via video communication, is missing eye contact. While a person is looking on the display, she or he is recorded from cameras that are usually attached next to the display frame. With the advent of massively parallel computer hardware and in particular very powerful consumer graphics cards, it became possible to simultaneously process multiple input views for real-time 3D reconstruction. Here, a greater amount of input views mitigate occlusion problems and lead to a more complete set of 3D data that is available for view synthesis. In this thesis, novel algorithms are proposed that enable for high quality real-time 3D reconstruction, the on-line alignment of photometric camera parameters, and the automatic and user independent estimation of the eye contact cameras. The real-time 3D analysis consist of two complementary approaches. On the one hand, a shape based algorithm and on the other hand, a patch based technique that evaluates 3D hypotheses via comparison of image textures. Preparative to rendering, texture from multiple views needs to be aligned. For this purpose, a novel algorithm for photometric on-line adjustment of the camera parameters is proposed. The photometric adjustment is carried out iteratively in alternation with a 3D registration of the respective views. In this way, the quality of photometric parameters is directly linked to the 3D analysis results and vice versa. Based on the textured 3D data, the eye contact view is rendered. An important prerequisite for this task is the estimation of a suitable virtual eye contact camera. In this thesis, a novel approach is formulated that enables for an automatic adaptation to arbitrary new users. Therefor, the eye contact camera is dynamically adapted to the current eye positions of the users. In this way, a virtual communication environment is created that allows for a more natural conversation.

Abstract:
The current thesis presents a detailed modelling study of the selective oxidation of ethane over noble metal coated surfaces in short contact time reactors. Computational studies were performed featuring heated gas streams flowing through ceramic-foam catalysts coated with platinum and followed by a long inert section. The detailed chemical kinetic mechanisms, with coupled surface and gas-phase chemical reactions, were explored via extensive reaction path and sensitivity analyses to assess the relative contributions of the homogeneous and heterogeneous chemistries and to establish the key heterogeneous pathways driving the chemical processes. A comprehensively validated detailed chemical mechanism was used for the gas phase. The mechanism initially featured 44 chemical species and 271 reversible reactions and was later extended to 176 reactants with 993 reversible reactions. Heterogeneous models describing the surface chemistry were derived on the basis of classical kinetic collision theory and with energy barriers obtained from Density Functional Theory studies combined with the Unity Bond Index-Quadratic Exponential Potential method. The derived surface mechanisms account for differences in site occupation and surface bonding types and include four reaction classes (direct adsorption, adsorption on an adsorbate, surface reactions with adsorbed reactants and uni-molecular surface reactions including desorption) via 35 adsorbed chemical species and 284 reversible reactions. The complete chemistry was thoroughly evaluated by comparison with multiple sets of existing and new experimental data provided by industrial partners. Key modelling parameters in the process, such as streams velocities, temperature profiles, catalyst loading and pressure were critically examined. The reaction dynamics were validated with C2H6/O2/H2 mixtures with different initial hydrogen contents and with oxygen to carbon weight ratios ranging between 0.25 and 0.9. The major chemical pathways for the production of ethylene through the selective dehydrogenation of ethane, combined with the heterogeneous oxidative were identified.

Abstract:
Computer simulations play a significant role in the development and operation of space systems because of the difficulty in performing ground-based hardware testing and onorbit tests are impossible before the launch of these systems. Hence, accurate modeling and simulation of space robotic tasks involving contact is very crucial. This in turn implies that accurate model (contact) parameters, used as inputs to the software to represent the contact operation being simulated, are imperative. In this work, we addressed the contact parameter estimation problem for simple contacting geometries (one-point contact) and complex contacting geometries (multiple-point contact). Several frequency domain identification strategies were applied to one-point contact parameter estimation problem to estimate contact stiffness and damping. The performance of these frequency domain algorithms was evaluated and compared with time domain identification algorithms. The identification algorithm for multiple point contact scenario to estimate contact stiffness, damping and coefficient of friction was also investigated. We determined the cause for poor estimation results obtained with previous implementation of this identification algorithm and were able to improve the performance of the algorithm. Finally, a thorough evaluation of sensitivity of the algorithm to noise in measured data was conducted.

Hussain, I. "Multiple model based real time estimation of wheel-rail contact conditions." Thesis, University of Salford, 2012. http://usir.salford.ac.uk/38094/.

Full text
Abstract:
The issue of low adhesion between the wheel and the rail has been a problem for the design and operation of the railway vehicles. The level of adhesion can be influenced by many different factors, such as contamination, climate, and vegetation, and it is extremely difficult to predict with certainty. Changes in the adhesion conditions can be rapid and short-lived, and values can differ from position to position along a route, depending on the type and degree of contamination. All these factors present a significant scientific challenge to effectively design a suitable technique to tackle this problem. This thesis presents the development of a unique, vehicle based technique for the real-time estimation of the contact conditions using multiple models to represent variations in the adhesion level and different contact conditions. The proposed solution exploits the fact that the dynamic behaviour of a railway vehicle is strongly affected by the nonlinearities and the variations in creep characteristics. The purpose of the proposed scheme is to interpret these variations in the dynamic response of the wheelset, developing useful contact condition information. The proposed system involves the use of a number of carefully selected mathematical models (or estimators) of a rail vehicle to mimic train dynamic behaviours in response to different track conditions. Each of the estimators is tuned to match one particular track condition to give the best results at the specific design point. Increased estimation errors are expected if the contact condition is not at or near the chosen operating point. The level of matches/mismatches is reflected in the estimation errors (or residuals) of the models concerned when compared with the real vehicle (through the measurement output of vehicle mounted inertial sensors). The output residuals from all the models are then assessed using an artificial intelligence decision-making approach to determine which of the models provides a best match to the present operating condition and, thus, provide real-time information about track conditions.

Abstract:
Previous models and measurements of MEMs adhesion have focused on steady-state adhesion behavior. This approach is inadequate for micromachined switches (such as RF MEMS switches) because it gives no information about the time required for contact opening, an important specification. We propose a technique to measure the switch opening time and present substantial experimental data for switches with gold-gold contacts. The data demonstrate that contact opening time increases dramatically as contact dimple area increases or as pull-apart force or contact resistance decrease. A model of opening time is also presented with model parameters that fit the experimental data.
