Feasibility of healthcare providers' autonomic activation recognition in real-life cardiac surgery using noninvasive sensors by Kennedy-Metz, Lauren R., Bizzego, Andrea, Dias, Roger D., Furlanello, Cesare, Esposito, Gianluca, Zenati, Marco A.

“…A heightened SNS response by the attending anesthesiologist, observed as an LF/HF ratio value of 3.39, was detected prior to the near-miss event. The attending anesthesiologist confirmed a state of significant SNS activity/distress induced by task-irrelevant environmental factors, which led to a temporarily ineffective mental model. …”

Cooperative collision avoidance in multirobot systems using fuzzy rules and velocity obstacles by Tang, Wenbing, Zhou, Yuan, Zhang, Tianwei, Liu, Yang, Liu, Jing, Ding, Zuohua

“…Moreover, they cannot deal with uncertain sensing data and linguistic requirements (e.g., the speed of a robot should not be large when it is near to other robots). Hence, to guarantee real-time collision avoidance and deal with linguistic requirements, a distributed and hybrid motion planning method, named Fuzzy-VO, is proposed for multirobot systems. …”

Evaluating geospatial accuracy for equity analyses: a case study of the U.S. National Bridge Inventory by Gandy, CA, Kang, X, Ritsch, N, Armanios, DE

“…Phase 3 assesses the feasibility of enhancing location granularity through a hand-checked case study. We find that for coarser geospatial levels (state and county), equity-based analyses may be possible, but for more granular geospatial levels (place and census tract), which is where equity-based analyses are often conducted, the data may need greater buffering and hand checks to ensure accuracy. …”

Fragmentation of white phosphorus by a cyclic (alkyl)(amino)alumanyl anion by Koshino, Kota, Kinjo, Rei

“…Structural and electronic features of the latter were fully characterized by standard spectroscopic means, X-ray diffraction analysis, and computational studies, which revealed that 2 bears highly polarized Al (δ+) and P (δ-) and relatively short Al-P bonds, indicative of the σ-donating and π-accepting nature of CAAAl groups.…”

Small but prospective: development of enzyme-responsive small molecule fluorescent probes for specific bacterial imaging by Yan, Evelias Hui Xin

“…In chapter 2, we explore the specific proteolytic activity of an outer membrane bacterial protease that is present in all wild-type Escherichia coli (E. coli) and another bacterial protease located in the periplasmic region of E. coli to synthesize a near infrared fluorescence probe for the real-time imaging of urinary tract bacterial infection in vitro and in vivo. …”

Predicting bank failures : a comparison of the Cox proportional hazards model and time-varying covariates model. by Cheng, Philip Yim Kwong.

“…As a contribution to bank regulation by improving the accuracy of predicting failed banks, I first illustrate the use of martingale and other residuals as diagnostic checks for Cox’s proportional hazards model. Second, I discuss and substantiate the claim that a time-varying covariates model is superior to the Cox model as a bank failure model.…”
