Parallel Classification Pipelines for Skin Cancer Detection Exploiting Hyperspectral Imaging on Hybrid Systems | The early detection of skin cancer is of crucial importance to plan an effective therapy to treat the lesion. In routine medical practice, the diagnosis is based on the visual inspection of the lesion and it relies on the dermatologists’ expertise. After a first examination, the dermatologist may require a biopsy to confirm if the lesion is malignant or not. This methodology suffers from false positives and negatives issues, leading to unnecessary surgical procedures. Hyperspectral imaging is gaining relevance in this medical field since it is a non-invasive and non-ionizing technique, capable of providing higher accuracy than traditional imaging methods. Therefore, the development of an automatic classification system based on hyperspectral images could improve the medical practice to distinguish pigmented skin lesions from malignant, benign, and atypical lesions. Additionally, the system can assist general practitioners in first aid care to prevent noncritical lesions from reaching dermatologists, thereby alleviating the workload of medical specialists. In this paper is presented a parallel pipeline for skin cancer detection that exploits hyperspectral imaging. The computational times of the serial processing have been reduced by adopting multicore and many-core technologies, such as OpenMP and CUDA paradigms. Different parallel approaches have been combined, leading to the development of fifteen classification pipeline versions. Experimental results using in-vivo hyperspectral images show that a hybrid parallel approach is capable of classifying an image of 50 × 50 pixels with 125 bands in less than 1 s. | [

Land Use Dynamic Evolution and Driving Factors of Typical Open-Pit Coal Mines in Inner Mongolia | Although coal is difficult to replace in the short term, the large-scale production and consumption of coal have significant impacts on the ecological environment. The severe disturbances, such as land excavation and occupation, that accompany the mining of mineral resources have caused dramatic changes in land cover and a significant pressure on the sensitive and fragile ecological environment. To analyze the temporal and spatial evolution trends and the differences in land use in different typical mining areas in Inner Mongolia, as well as the evaluation system and driving mechanisms of land use evolution, this study takes the typical open-pit coal mines in Inner Mongolia as the research objects and, based on the Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform, analyzes the dynamic evolution characteristics and driving factors of land use in typical open-pit coal mines in Inner Mongolia from 2001 to 2020. The change trend of land use in typical open-pit mining areas in Inner Mongolia for the past 20 years is obvious, with the highest fluctuations for grassland, mining land, cropland, and residential/industrial land. Land use in the open-pit coal mining area is greatly affected by mining factors. From the perspective of spatial variation, the most important driving factor is the distance from national roads and railways, followed by the annual average temperature and annual average precipitation and topographical conditions, such as elevation. In terms of policy, land reclamation and ecological restoration in mining areas have a positive impact on land use change. Improving the mechanism for environmental compensation in mining areas can promote the efficient and rational use of mining areas and the protection of ecosystems. | [

Tensile and Shear Loading Stability of All-Inside Meniscal Repairs | Background: Most biomechanical studies for evaluation of the structural properties of meniscal repairs have been performed in tensile loading scenarios perpendicular to the circumferential meniscal fibers. However, meniscal repair constructs are also exposed to shear forces parallel to the circumferential meniscal fibers during healing, particularly in the midportion of the meniscus. Hypothesis: Material properties of meniscal repair devices cannot be extrapolated from tensile to shear load scenarios. Study Design: Controlled laboratory study. Methods: In 84 harvested and isolated bovine lateral menisci following removal of adjacent soft tissue, a standardized vertical lesion was set followed by repair using all-inside flexible (FasT-Fix, FasT-Fix AB, RapidLoc) and rigid (Meniscus Screw, Meniscus Arrow) meniscal repair devices. Vertical and horizontal 2.0 Ethibond sutures were used as controls. The repaired meniscal construct was tested in a tensile (parallel to the axis of the tested repair device) and shear load scenario (perpendicular to the axis of the tested repair device) at 5 mm/min and 37°C environmental temperature. Maximum load to failure, stiffness, and failure mode were recorded. Results: The absolute load to failure values of each repair device in the shear scenario were only marginally different from the tensile load scenario. However, the stiffness of several tested devices was markedly reduced in the shear scenario. In both scenarios, large differences of the load to failure and the stiffness between the implant types up to 5-fold were found ( P Conclusion: All-inside meniscal repair devices exposed to shear load scenarios have comparable maximum loads to failures as tensile load scenarios. However, the stiffness of the majority of the flexible meniscal repair implants in a shear load scenario is markedly reduced. The applied scenario also affects the failure mode in several flexible meniscal repair devices. Clinical Relevance: Meniscal repair devices with sufficient stiffness and stability against shear loads may be favored for meniscal repair, especially within the midportion of the meniscus where shear loads occur during healing. | [

Hemoglobin at High Altitude as Related to Age | Abstract During the summer of 1962 the early phase of acclimatization to high altitude was studied in 6 of those who participated in the international high-altitude expedition to Chile in 1935. Ages of the 6 ranged from 58 to 71. Two also had taken part in a high-altitude study in 1929. In their earlier years these subjects had had an increase in hemoglobin concentration beginning with their arrival at high altitude. This response has been well established, especially by the Pike's Peak party led by Haldane and the work of Hurtado and associates in Peru. On the other hand, 5 of the 6 in the 1962 party exhibited a decrease in hemoglobin concentration during the first few days. The greatest decrease was observed in the oldest subject. His hemoglobin was 88% of his sea level value after 9 days at altitude and remained below his sea level value for another week. No observations were made on blood volume; hence, we can only speculate regarding possible related changes. | [

Does intensity-modulated radiotherapy reduce the risk of pelvic insufficiency fractures in gynaecological cancers? | AbstractBackgroundIncreasingly we are using a combination of surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy for treatment of gynaecological malignancies. Most studies in literature are concentrated on the concept of survival. There is minimal data examining the impact of these treatments on quality of life. Survival being a surrogate marker is an arbitrary end point and is of arguable significance if quality of life is not maintained. Long-term side effects of radiotherapy are debilitating and severely affect quality of life. Pelvic insufficiency fractures (PIF) are a known long-term side effect of radiotherapy. Intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) is being routinely used in the treatment of prostate and head and neck cancer. We postulated that use of IMRT in gynaecological cancers reduces the incidence of PIF.Patients and methodsWe retrospectively reviewed 10 cases of PIF treated on standard treatment. We recalculated dose volume histograms based on IMRT protocols for patients with PIF.ResultsWe found that none of the patients received any radiation at the fracture site and the total radiation received to the sacrum was lower compared with the standard treatment protocols.ConclusionsWe conclude that the feasibility of IMRT in gynaecological cancers should be further evaluated and might be an useful tool in reducing the number of PIF. | Journal of Radiotherapy in Practice | [

IMPLEMENTAÇÃO DE METODOLOGIA ÁGIL EM ÁREAS DE OPERAÇÕES: UM ESTUDO DE CASO SOBRE A OUVIDORIA DA IBM (INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINE) | As metodologias ágeis têm sido amplamente aplicadas ao longo das últimas duas décadas para o desenvolvimento de softwares, pois apresentam melhores práticas de integração entre empresas e stakeholders, maior espaço e agilidade para aplicação de mudanças, além de promoverem pequenas entregas em diferentes etapas da concepção, o que permite a correção de prototipagens ao longo do processo criativo. A literatura e os estudos, entretanto, ainda são bastante limitados com relação à abrangência dessas metodologias, retratando-as restritas unicamente às realidades de equipes voltadas a desenvolvimento de software. O objetivo deste artigo é lançar luz a uma aplicação diferente do tema, analisando como foi realizada e quais os resultados da implementação de metodologia ágil em todas as equipes de Ouvidoria de uma empresa multinacional de tecnologia. Para se realizar tal objetivo, é construída uma narrativa de Estudo de Caso, com dados coletados através de entrevistas com a equipe de Ouvidoria, cujos resultados servem como um possível norte para novas escritas da temática em áreas não associadas ao desenvolvimento de software, elencando dificuldades e quais os resultados quantitativos da implementação.

Does body-volume constrain reproductive output in lizards? | The numbers and sizes of eggs produced by adult females ultimately determine the viability of populations, as well as the evolutionary fitness of the females themselves. Despite an enormous amount of literature on the adaptive significance of fecundity variation within and among populations, simpler questions—such as the proximate mechanisms by which a female determines her clutch size—have attracted less attention. Our surgical manipulations show that the amount of space available to hold eggs within a female's abdomen influences her total reproductive allocation, enabling her to flexibly modify her reproductive output as she grows larger. | [

Development of Clinical Pharmacy Key Performance Indicators for Hospital Pharmacists Using a Modified Delphi Approach | Background: Key performance indicators (KPIs) are quantifiable measures of quality. There are no published, systematically derived clinical pharmacy KPIs (cpKPIs). Objective: A group of hospital pharmacists aimed to develop national cpKPIs to advance clinical pharmacy practice and improve patient care. Methods: A cpKPI working group established a cpKPI definition, 8 evidence-derived cpKPI critical activity areas, 26 candidate cpKPIs, and 11 cpKPI ideal attributes in addition to 1 overall consensus criterion. Twenty-six clinical pharmacists and hospital pharmacy leaders participated in an internet-based 3-round modified Delphi survey. Panelists rated 26 candidate cpKPIs using 11 cpKPI ideal attributes and 1 overall consensus criterion on a 9-point Likert scale. A meeting was facilitated between rounds 2 and 3 to debate the merits and wording of candidate cpKPIs. Consensus was reached if 75% or more of panelists assigned a score of 7 to 9 on the consensus criterion during the third Delphi round. Results: All panelists completed the 3 Delphi rounds, and 25/26 (96%) attended the meeting. Eight candidate cpKPIs met the consensus definition: (1) performing admission medication reconciliation (including best-possible medication history), (2) participating in interprofessional patient care rounds, (3) completing pharmaceutical care plans, (4) resolving drug therapy problems, (5) providing in-person disease and medication education to patients, (6) providing discharge patient medication education, (7) performing discharge medication reconciliation, and (8) providing bundled, proactive direct patient care activities. Conclusions: A Delphi panel of hospital pharmacists was successful in determining 8 consensus cpKPIs. Measurement and assessment of these cpKPIs will serve to advance clinical pharmacy practice and improve patient care. | [

Microbial Processes in Engineering Clay Materials and Biocidal Additives to Prevent Them | Microbial activity in engineering clay materials of safety barriers in conditions, simulating a deep underground disposal point of radioactive waste Yeniseiskii (Zheleznogorsk, Krasnoyarsk Kray) has been studied. It was established that clays with a high content of sulfur, iron and organic carbon, as well as those containing mineral phases (calcites, spars, and others) can be a source of microbial gas release, including methane, and also of products (for instance, hydrogen sulfide), which may be corrosive to steals in contact with clay materials. The microbial processes in clays rich in biogenic elements and minerals lead to the dissolution of aluminosilicate structural lattices. To prevent the microbial impact, various biocidal additives are used: Amanat, Rancid, boric acid and polyhexamethylguanidine (PHMG). The effect of these preparations at various temperatures was analyzed. It was found that PHMG was the most effective among the tested preparations over a wide temperature range. radioactive waste, microbial activity biological destruction, biocides | Biotekhnologiya | [

Quantifying the Contributions of Climate Change and Human Activities to Maize Yield Dynamics at Multiple Timescales | Under a changing environment, the effect of climate change and human activities on maize yield is vital for ensuring food security and efficient socio-economic development. The time series of maize yield is generally non-stationary and contains different frequency components, such as long- and short-term oscillations. Nevertheless, there is no adequate understanding of the relative importance of climate change. In addition, human activities on maize yield at multiple timescales remain unclear, which help in further improving maize yield prediction. Based on the ensemble empirical mode decomposition method (EEMD), the method of dependent variable variance decomposition (DVVD) and the Sen-slope method, the effect of climate change including growing-season precipitation and temperature (i.e., GSP, GEP, CDD, GST, GSMAT, and GSMT) and human activities including effective irrigation area (EIA) and the consumption of chemical fertilizers (CCF) on maize yield were explored at multiple timescales during 1979–2015. The Heilongjiang Province, a highly important maize production area in China, was selected as a case study. The results of this work indicate the following: (1) The original maize yield series was divided into 3.1-, 7.4-, 18.5-, and 37-year timescale oscillations and a residual series with an increasing trend, where the 3.1-year timescale (IMF1), the 18.5-year timescale (IMF3), and the increasing trend (R) were dominant; (2) the original sequence was mainly affected by human activities; (3) climate change and human activities had different effects on maize yield at different timescales: The short-term oscillation (IMF1) of maize yield was primarily affected by climate change. However, human activities dominated the mid- and long-term oscillations (IMF3 and R) of maize yield. This study sheds new insight into multiple timescale analysis of the role of climate and human activities on maize yield dynamics. | Water | [

Model Checking a Logic for True Concurrency | We study the model-checking problem for a logic for true concurrency, whose formulae predicate about events in computations and their causal dependencies. The logic, which represents the logical counterpart of history-preserving bisimilarity, is naturally interpreted over event structures or any formalism that can be given a causal semantics, like Petri nets. It includes least and greatest fixpoint operators and thus it can express properties of infinite computations. Since the event structure associated with a system is typically infinite (even if the system is finite state), already the decidability of model-checking is non-trivial. We first develop a local model-checking technique based on a tableau system, for which, over a class of event structures satisfying a suitable regularity condition, referred to as strong regularity, we prove termination, soundness, and completeness. The tableau system allows for a clean and intuitive proof of decidability, but a direct implementation of the procedure can be extremely inefficient. For easing the development of a more efficient model-checking technique, we move to an automata-theoretic framework. Given a formula and a strongly regular event structure, we show how to construct a parity tree automaton whose language is non-empty if and only if the event structure satisfies the formula. The automaton is usually infinite. We discuss how it can be quotiented to an equivalent finite automaton, where emptiness can be checked effectively. To show the applicability of the approach, we discuss how it instantiates to finite safe Petri nets, providing also a corresponding proof-of-concept model-checking tool. | [
