Weight Change in Suppressed People with HIV (PWH) Switched from Either Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate (TDF) or Abacavir (ABC) to Tenofovir Alafenamide (TAF)." Open Forum Infectious Diseases 7, Supplement_1 (2020): S846—S847. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/ofid/ofaa515.1904.
Full textAbstract:
Abstract Background Weight gain in PWH occurred in both naïve and switch studies and is linked to use of integrase inhibitors (INSTIs) with varying associations with nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs). One hypothesis is that gain associated with TAF when switching from TDF is a result of cessation of TDF-induced weight suppression. Methods The study evaluated weight change in suppressed PWH on INSTI+NRTIs switched from ABC or TDF to TAF. Eligible pts had HIV, were ≥ 18 yrs at index (date of switch), treatment-experienced with known prior regimen, suppressed at index (-12 to +1 mo) and 1 yr, ≥ 6 mo pre-index history, with weight measures at index and 1 yr, no current or pre-index use of protease inhibitor or non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor. Univariate comparisons were performed using Χ2 for categorical and t-test for continuous variables; negative binomial model with log link function evaluated risk of gain ≥ 3% of body weight between groups accounting for age, gender, race, body mass index (BMI), CD4. Linear mixed effects model was used to estimate mean weight at index and 1 yr post switch. Results Of 970 pts, 828 (85%) switched from TDF to TAF and 142 (15%) from ABC to TAF. Groups were balanced by race, gender, index BMI [Table 1]. Figures 1a-b describe pre- and post-switch INSTI use. At 1 yr, mean unadjusted weight change was 1.4 kg in TDF and 0.2 in ABC group p=0.039. TDF to TAF had higher proportion of PWH with gain ≥ 3% vs ABC to TAF (40% vs 27% p=0.003); differences in gain ≥ 5% and ≥ 10% were not statistically significant (26% vs 22% p=0.323 and 10% vs 6% p=0.220). Pts who gained ≥ 3% were younger, with greater proportion of females, non-obese, with 1 prior regimen, and prior elvitegravir (EVG) use. In adjusted analysis TDF to TAF had higher risk of gain ≥ 3% vs ABC to TAF [Figure 2]. In sensitivity analysis accounting for EVG or dolutegravir (DTG) use, TDF to TAF also had higher risk of ≥ 3% gain vs ABC to TAF: adjusted risk ratio (aRR)= 1.38 [1.01–1.89] and aRR= 1.42 [1.02–1.97]. Table 1. Baseline (index) characteristics. Figures 1a-b. Distribution of pre switch and post switch INSTI use. Figure 2. Risk of weight gain ≥ 3% of body weight at 1 year post switch accounting for age, gender, race, index BMI, and CD4. Conclusion Switching from TDF to TAF in INSTI-based regimens had a greater risk of weight gain vs ABC to TAF. This difference persisted when accounting for impact of the INSTI agent in the current regimen. These data suggest that differences in weight gain between TAF and TDF are driven by removal of TDF-associated weight suppression.

This research investigates the trend following relationships between Commodity Trading Advisor (CTA) Indexes and a widely known trend following proxy Index using a database covering 21 years with 24 CTA, Managed Futures, and Hedge Fund (that can trade CTA-like) Indexes. The trend following relationships are tested using a modification of the Methodology employed by Baesel, Gonzalez-Heres, Chen, & Shin (2012). A unique Alpha adjustment is proposed to include the traditional Alpha plus or minus a reward or penalty for displaying relationships to the larger positive and negative returns of the trend following Index proxy. Results for the first sample period show evidence of at least some association of the returns of the trend following proxy to those of the individual CTA Indexes; however, most of the Indexes showed little to no statistical support for much traditional or adjusted Total Alpha generation. For the second sample period the regression results show that almost none of the Indexes had a statistically significant association with the monthly total returns of the trend following proxy Index. Instead, generally all of the Indexes showed the impact of the larger monthly returns of the trend following proxy Index such that the Alpha adjustments overall were positive and, on average, generated approximately 50% of the Total Alpha of the individual CTA Indexes.

Abstract Background Data on ER and IV POS among organ transplant recipients (OTRs) are limited, and the role of TDM is unclear. Methods Retrospective study of patients (pt) receiving any formulation of POS who had serum troughs checked. Therapeutic was defined as 3 1 mcg/mL. Results We analyzed 88 pt and 340 levels (SUS: 88, ER: 197, IV: 55). Eighty-five pt were OTRs (97%), 73 were lung transplant recipients (LT) (83%), 17 had cystic fibrosis (CF) (19%). POS was used for treatment (70%) (probable aspergillosis (38%), possible aspergillosis (10%), mucormycosis (16%), other mycoses (6%)), prophylaxis (19%), and pre-emptive therapy (14%). POS was given for intolerance of or contraindication to other azoles (47%), salvage therapy (10%), resistance (19%), and failure to achieve therapeutic levels with other azoles (6%). Serum concentration/dose ratios were lower with SUS vs. ER/IV (P < 0.0001) but were similar in ER/IV groups (P = 0.51) (Figure). There was no difference in serum levels between pt receiving ER vs. IV POS at 300 mg once daily (median 1.2 vs. 1.3 mcg/mL, therapeutic 70% vs. 73%, P = 0.57 and >0.99, respectively). 3 pt had levels £ 0.2 mcg/mL on 300 mg ER: 2 had CF and had undergone LT (0.2 and 0 mcg/mL) and 1 had short-gut syndrome (0.1 mcg/mL). Sixty-six percent and 67 % of pt receiving ER or IV POS (300 mg once daily) achieved initial therapeutic levels, respectively; of these, 87% and 83% had median therapeutic follow-up levels, respectively. Serial levels were available for 7 pt whose dose was increased from 300 to 400 mg ER once daily for subtherapeutic levels. 4/7 pt achieved therapeutic levels on 400 vs. 0/7 on 300 mg ER once daily (P = 0.069). Metoclopramide use and CF were associated with subtherapeutic vs. therapeutic levels (25% vs. 4% and 37% vs. 13%, respectively, P = < 0.05). When pt with CF were excluded, neither age nor body mass index were associated with POS levels. CF pt had lower levels than non-CF pt on a dose of 300 mg ER once daily (median 0.8 vs. 1.3 mcg/mL, P = 0.018). Conclusion Therapeutic levels are more reliably achieved with ER & IV POS compared with SUS POS. Serial TDM is unnecessary for most, but is recommended for pt with CF or those on metoclopramide. Dose increases may effectively increase levels. Novel dosing strategies are needed for CF. Disclosures R. K. Shields, Astellas: Received research funding, Research support.

Full textAbstract:
This article focuses on the relationship between Fintech and bank risk-taking behavior. Since Robo-Advisor is one of the mature applications of Fintech, we found that the development of Fintech will have a greater impact on small and medium-sized banks through the establishment of a Robo-Advisor model. This paper uses a benchmark regression model to analyze the municipal digital financial inclusion index compiled by Peking University and the annual report data of 155 small and medium-sized banks from 2011 to 2016. We found that the development of Fintech has significantly reduced bank risk-taking level. This result is still valid after the robustness test of replacing the bank’s risk-taking index and replacing the Fintech development index. We used the urban innovation index as an instrumental variable to deal with the endogenous problem, and obtained consistent estimation results. The test of the intermediary effect shows that the development of Fintech will affect the bank risk-taking through channels such as the bank’s internal interest margin, management capabilities, the bank’s external competition intensity, and residents’ saving willingness. Heterogeneity analysis shows the reduction effect of Fintech on bank risk-taking is more pronounced in banks in eastern and western regions in China, the large banks and the urban commercial banks.

Full textAbstract:
Background:Musculoskeletal (MSK) disease is the commonest manifestation of SLE. We showed that the MSK components of the BILAG index and SLEDAI have limited sensitivity, specificity and responsiveness compared to ultrasound (US) synovitis. The USEFUL study evaluated response to glucocorticoids in SLE patients with inflammatory pain.Objectives:To develop a disease activity tool for lupus MSK manifestations that is continuous, responsive, sensitive, and correlates with US-synovitisMethods:133 patients who received depomedrone 120mg IM were assessed at 0, 2 and 6 weeks for 66/68 swollen and tender joint counts, BILAG2004 index, SLEDAI-2K, physician global and MSK-VAS, inflammatory markers, patient pain and disease activity-VAS. Total US score (OMERACT-EULAR) in the hands and wrists was calculated blinded to patient and clinical assessor. Patients reported overall response using a Likert scale.The LAMDA was developed by modelling a core set of clinical variables against total US score using penalized (Lasso) regression. Responsiveness was compared between LAMDA and other variables at week 6 using effect sizes. Minimum clinically important difference (MCID) was explored using the SEM and minimal disease activity threshold using ROC.Results:The variables selected for the LAMDA score were swollen joint count, patient MSK pain VAS, physician MSK disease activity VAS and ESR. A continuous score was derived. This had a theoretical range from 0 to 26.5 based on maximum ESR of 100. The highest value observed in USEFUL was 15. LAMDA was significantly higher in patients with active US (mean (SD) 5.71 (2.67), n=78) compared to patients with normal US (3.27 (1.77), n=55; difference (95% CI) -2.45 (-3.26, -1.63), t=-5.93, p<0.001). This difference remained significant in patients with no swollen joints (difference (95% CI) -0.71 (-1.40, -0.02), t=-2.06, p=0.044).Effect size was greater for the LAMDA (0.37) than the BILAG-MSK (0.31), SLEDAI-MSK (0.27) and total US score (0.33). In patients with active US at baseline, LAMDA’s effect size was 0.42.The MCID was 0.71 and correlated with patient-reported change in pain. A threshold for minimal disease activity of 3.23 optimized sensitivity (0.77 (0.65, 0.89)) and specificity (0.80 (0.68, 0.92)) against US score >0.Conclusion:The LAMDA score is a novel continuous disease activity instrument for MSK manifestations of SLE derived from variables familiar to rheumatologists. The LAMDA score is sensitive to imaging detected synovitis without swelling and more responsive than other instruments. . LAMDA may improve the ability of clinicians to accurately determine therapeutic efficacy in clinical trials and practice. Future work will validate the LAMDA score in independent cohorts and randomized trials.Acknowledgements:This project was funded by Lupus UKDisclosure of Interests:Khaled Mahmoud: None declared, Ahmed Zayat: None declared, Md Yuzaiful Md Yusof: None declared, Coziana Ciurtin Grant/research support from: Pfizer, Consultant of: Roche, Modern Biosciences, Chee-Seng Yee: None declared, David Isenberg Consultant of: Study Investigator and Consultant to Genentech, Lee-Suan Teh: None declared, Katherine Dutton: None declared, David d’cruz Grant/research support from: GlaxoSmithKline, Nora Ng: None declared, Philip G Conaghan Consultant of: AbbVie, BMS, Eli Lilly, EMD Serono, Flexion Therapeutics, Galapagos, GSK, Novartis, Pfizer, Speakers bureau: AbbVie, Eli Lilly, Novartis, Pfizer, Paul Emery Grant/research support from: AbbVie, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Merck Sharp & Dohme, Pfizer, Roche (all paid to employer), Consultant of: AbbVie (consultant, clinical trials, advisor), Bristol-Myers Squibb (consultant, clinical trials, advisor), Lilly (clinical trials, advisor), Merck Sharp & Dohme (consultant, clinical trials, advisor), Novartis (consultant, clinical trials, advisor), Pfizer (consultant, clinical trials, advisor), Roche (consultant, clinical trials, advisor), Samsung (clinical trials, advisor), Sandoz (clinical trials, advisor), UCB (consultant, clinical trials, advisor), Christopher Edwards Grant/research support from: Abbvie, Biogen, Roche, Consultant of: Abbvie, Samsung, Speakers bureau: Abbvie, BMS, Biogen, Celgene, Fresenius, Gilead, Janssen, Lilly, Mundipharma, Pfizer, MSD, Novartis, Roche, Samsung, Sanofi, UCB, Elizabeth Hensor: None declared, Edward Vital Grant/research support from: AstraZeneca, Roche/Genentech, and Sandoz, Consultant of: AstraZeneca, GSK, Roche/Genentech, and Sandoz, Speakers bureau: Becton Dickinson and GSK

Full textAbstract:
There has been a growing demand for portfolio management using robo-advisors, and hence, research on the automation of portfolio composition has been increasing. In this study, we propose a model that automates the portfolio structure by using the instability index of the financial time series and genetic algorithms (GAs). We use the instability index to filter the investment assets and optimize the threshold value used as a filtering criterion by applying a GA. For an empirical analysis, we use stocks, bonds, commodities exchange traded funds (ETFs), and exchange rate. We compare the performance of our model with that of risk parity and mean-variance models and find our model has better performance. Several additional experiments with our model using various internal parameters are conducted, and the proposed model with a one-month test period after one year of learning is found to provide the highest Sharpe ratio.

Full textAbstract:
Climate change will intensify water scarcity, and therefore irrigation must be adapted to save water. Operational tools that provide watering recommendations to end-users are needed. This work presents a new tool, Irrigation-Advisor (IA), which is based on weather forecasts and is able to separately determine soil evaporation and crop transpiration, and thus is adaptable to a broad range of agricultural situations. By calculating several statistical indicators, IA was tested against the FAO-56 crop evapotranspiration (ETcFAO) methodology using local crop coefficients. Additionally, IA recommendations were compared with current standard practices by experienced farmers (F). Six field experiments with four widely cultivated species (endive, lettuce, muskmelon and potato) were performed in Southeast Spain. Irrigation water applied, crop yield, aboveground biomass and water productivity were determined. Crop water needs underestimations (5%–20%) were detected when comparing IA against ETcFAO, although the index of agreement proved reasonable adjustments. The IA recommendations led to water savings up to 13% when compared to F, except for lettuce, with a 31% surplus in irrigation when using IA. Crop yield was not compromised and water productivity was increased by IA. Therefore, IA mimicked the farmers′ irrigation strategies fairly well without deploying sensors on-site. Nevertheless, improvements are needed for increasing the accuracy of IA estimations.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis presents the design and analysis of Spasiba, a context-aware mobile advisor. We argue that current context-aware mobile applications exhibit significant flaws with respect to (1) limited use of context information, (2) incomplete or irrelevant content generation, and (3) low usability. The proposed model attempts to tackle these limitations by advancing the usage and manipulation of context information, automating the back-end systems in terms of self-management and seamless extensibility, and shifting the logic away from the client side. A distinguishing characteristic of Spasiba is the proactive approach to notifying the user of information of interest. In this proactive approach, the user subscribes to the service and receives content updates as the context changes. This proposed model is realised in a proof-of-concept prototype that uses a Nokia Web Runtime widget as the client application. The widget, which sports an elegant, touch-optimised interface, collects multiple context parameters to deliver high-quality results. The server-side architecture employs the publish/subscribe paradigm for managing the active users and Comet—for proactively notifying the clients of updated information of interest. IRS-III, a Semantic Web Services broker, handles the process of content generation. The prototype employs nine data sources, seven of which are open API web services and two of which are regular web pages, to deliver diverse and complete results. A simple autonomic element, implemented with the help of aspect-oriented programming, ensures partial self-management of the back-end systems. Spasiba is evaluated by means of a case study that involves a tourist couple visiting Victoria. The application assists the tourist couple with finding attractions, relevant stores, and places serving food.

Full textAbstract:
Database systems employ physical structures such as indexes and materialized views to improve query performance, potentially by orders of magnitude. It is therefore important for a database administrator to choose the appropriate configuration of these physical structures (i.e., the appropriate physical design) for a given database. Deciding on the physical design of a database is not an easy task, and a considerable amount of research exists on automatic physical design tools for relational databases. Recently, XML database systems are increasingly being used for managing highly structured XML data, and support for XML data is being added to commercial relational database systems. This raises the important question of how to choose the appropriate physical design (i.e., the appropriate set of physical structures) for an XML database. Relational automatic physical design tools are not adequate, so new research is needed in this area.
In this thesis, we address the problem of automatic physical design for XML databases, which is the process of automatically selecting the best set of physical structures for a given database and a given query workload representing the client application's usage patterns of this data. We focus on recommending two types of physical structures: XML indexes and relational materialized views of XML data. For each of these structures, we study the recommendation process and present a design advisor that automatically recommends a configuration of physical structures given an XML database and a workload of XML queries. The recommendation process is divided into four main phases: (1) enumerating candidate physical structures, (2) generalizing candidate structures in order to generate more candidates that are useful to queries that are not seen in the given workload but similar to the workload queries, (3) estimating the benefit of various candidate structures, and (4) selecting the best set of candidate structures for the given database and workload. We present a design advisor for recommending XML indexes, one for recommending materialized views, and an integrated design advisor that recommends both indexes and materialized views. A key characteristic of our advisors is that they are tightly coupled with the query optimizer of the database system, and rely on the optimizer for enumerating and evaluating physical designs whenever possible. This characteristic makes our techniques suitable for any database system that complies with a set of minimum requirements listed within the thesis. We have implemented the index, materialized view, and integrated advisors in a prototype version of IBM DB2 V9, which supports both relational and XML data, and we experimentally demonstrate the effectiveness of their
recommendations using this implementation.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the management of cross-cultural conflict by Resident Advisors (RA) at the University of Victoria in British Columbia, Canada. A total of twelve RAs were interviewed on the policies and expected practices of RAs, how these policies are implemented and whether these policies are effective in resolving cross-cultural conflict. This research analyzes and demonstrates that besides conflict itself, the discourse of conflict--how one speaks about conflict--and its representation are equally important. In many circumstances, the cultural discourse and its representation are not only a major part of the problem, but even a source of it. I argue that a narrow conceptualization of culture in the expected dispute resolution practices of RAs constrains the management of disputes between residents. Examples of disputes pertaining to nationality, racial and sexual discrimination, drugs, and alcohol illustrate the use of culture as a controlling factor in conflict, defining culture as bounded and discrete. This neglects the underlying structural issues at play, serving only to reproduce conflict and to ensure that social and economic inequities are passed on.

vehicle powertrain technologies were studied, a fuel cell - battery hybrid and two
internal combustion engine - battery/ultracapacitor hybrids. Powertrain performance
models were built to simulate the performance of these new designs, and to assess the
feasibility of a fuel cell hybrid power backup system for a special type of vehicles,
elevators in high-rise buildings, using the ADvanced VehIcle SimulatOR (ADVISOR)
first. The model was then applied to evaluate the two-mode hybrid powertrain for
more common vehicles - commercial trucks, showing potential fuel consumption
reduction. To improve modeling accuracy, a new and more flexible tool for modeling
multi-physics systems, Modelica/Dymola, was used to carry out the modeling and
analysis of next generation hybrid electric vehicles, exploring the potentials of new
hybrid powertrain architectures and energy storage system designs. The study forms
the foundation for further research and developments.

碩士<br>國立中央大學<br>產業經濟研究所碩士在職專班<br>95<br>The purpose of this study is to find out the relationships among the four indexes of pre-and-post Economic Advisory Conference (EDAC) : Taiwan Weighted Stock Index (TAIEX) , Taiwan Index Futures (TX), Taiwan Stock Exchange Electronic Sector Index and Taiwan Stock Exchange Finance Sector Index. We would try to investigate the Cointegration Test and Granger Causality Test by Econometric methodology. The data was from weekly data of July 24, 1998 to December 29, 2006. With the Economic Advisory Conference held in August 2001, this study divided the data into three sets: the whole data (July 24, 1998 to December 29, 2006), pre-EDAC (July 24, 1998 to August 31, 2001) and post-EDAC (September 7, 2001 to December 29, 2006) to examine. The empirical results are described as follows:
1. Unit root results: The null hypothesis of unit root can’t be rejected at the 1% significant level for all indexes series. The unit root analysis implies that the index series are individually integrated of order one, I(1). Therefore, we ascertain that the series of TAIEX, TX, Taiwan Stock Exchange Electronic Sector Index and Taiwan Stock Exchange Finance Sector Index are same as I(1) which matches the random walk.
2. Cointegration results: No matter which period we chose, the variables of TAIEX and TX are with cointegration relationship. It presents that the investors can’t gain the extra profits from the index co-movement as well as reflects the lead-lag relationship between two indexes.
3. Error correction results: TAIEX and TX exist the non-balance effect in the short run. However, after the adjustment from the error correction model, it becomes balance.
4.Granger Causality Test results: No mater which period we chose, it is significantly with Causality relationship between TAIEX and TX. While Taiwan Stock Exchange Finance Sector Index and Taiwan Stock Exchange Electronic Sector Index are more significant in Causality relationship while the number of lag is extended.

Full textAbstract:
Risk of having hypoglycemia is one of the biggest barriers preventing Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) patients from performing exercise. In addition, management of diet and exercise levels needs to be personalized for each patient to avoid hypoglycemia and to achieve a good glycemic control. In this paper, we developed a model-based diet and exercise recommender system that could be used to provide an (optimal) personalized intervention on diet and exercise for T1D patients. The recommender system makes prediction of blood glucose at each intervention time based on a patient-specific model of glucose dynamics, and then provides the optimal meal sizes, target heart rates during exercise, pre-exercise carbohydrate and bedtime snack by minimizing a clinical risk function under constraints. Patient-specific models of glucose dynamics were identified for 30 virtual subjects generated from a modified UVa/Padova simulator with an added exercise-glucose subsystem. The performance of the recommender system was then compared to two self-management schemes (the Starter and the Skilled). The latter represents an off-line optimal solution providing a lower bound on the risk index. The average clinical risk under the recommender system was reduced by 49% compared to that under the Starter, and it was comparable to the risk of the Skilled. In addition, the recommender system had less number of post-exercise/nocturnal hypoglycemia events occurred than that under the Starter or the Skilled. Such recommender system can be implemented as an “App” patient advisor to improve T1D patients’ self-management of glucose control.

Full textAbstract:
The Dynamic Positioning (DP) System is a complex system with significant levels of integration between many sub-systems to perform diverse control functions. The extent of information managed by each sub-system is enormous. The complex level of integration between sub-systems creates more possible failure scenarios. A systematic analysis of all failure scenarios is tedious and for an operator to handle any such catastrophic situation is breath taking. There are many accidents where a failure in a DP system has resulted in fatalities and environmental pollution. Therefore, reliability assessment of a DP system is critical for safe and efficient operation of marine and offshore vessels. Traditionally, the reliability of a DP system is assessed during the design stage by methodologies such as Failure Mode Effects and Analysis (FMEA), Proving Trials, Hardware In-the Loop (HIL) testing, Site-Specific Risk Analysis, DP capability Analysis and during operation by annual trials to verify functionality. All these methods are time consuming, involving a lot of human effort and notably no analysis of previous accidents are indicated in the reliability assessment. This imposes in-built uncertainty and risk in DP system during operation. In this paper, a new concept of Dynamic Positioning Reliability Index (DP-RI) is introduced and a state-of-the-art advisory decision making tool is proposed. This tool is developed based on information from various sources including Offshore Reliability Data (OREDA), International Marine Contractors Association (IMCA) Accident database, DP vendor equipment failure databases, DP System supplier’s manuals, previous system level FMEA and HIL testing results, Site specific risk analysis documents, Project design specification and Operator’s operational experiences. Thus, DP-RI addresses the pitfalls of existing reliability assessment methods and will be an efficient tool in reducing the number of DP-related accidents.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract In this study, a framework using Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) for prediction of reliability of Dynamic Positioning (DP) sub-systems for computation of Dynamic Positioning Reliability Index (DP-RI) has been proposed. The DP System is complex with significant levels of integration between many sub-systems such as the Reference System, DP Control System, Thruster / Propulsion System, Power System, Electrical System and the Environment System to perform diverse control functions. The proposed framework includes a mathematical computation approach to compute reliability of DP sub-systems and a data driven approach to predict the reliability at a sub-system level for evaluation of model performance and accuracy. The framework results demonstrate excellent performance under a wide range of data availability and guaranteed lower computational burden for real-time non-linear optimization. There are three main components of the proposed architecture for the mathematical formulation of the DP sub-systems based on individual sensor arrangements within the sub-system, computation of reliability of sub-systems and optimized LSTM deep learning algorithm for prediction of its reliability. Firstly, the mathematical formulation for the reliability of sub-systems is determined based on the series/parallel arrangement of the sensors of each individual equipment item within the sub-systems. Secondly, the computation of the reliability of sub-systems is achieved through an integrated approach during complex operation of the vessel. Thirdly, the novel optimized LSTM network is constructed to predict the reliability of the subsystems while minimizing integral errors in the algorithm. In this paper, numerical simulations are set-up using a state-of-the-art advisory decision-making tool with mock-up and real-world data to give insights into the model performance and validate it against the existing risk assessment methodologies. Furthermore, we have analyzed the efficiency and stability of the proposed model against various levels of data availability. In conclusion the prediction accuracy of the proposed model is scalable and higher when compared with other model results.

Full textAbstract:
The conventional Brayton CPC (constant pressure combustion) cycle engines have almost reached maturity in terms of thermal efficiency and SFC (specific fuel consumption). With environmental norms taking the front seat in civilian applications, the goal is to think of innovative concepts that are faster, cheaper, cleaner and quieter. Among many proposed concepts, the patented wave rotor – PDE (pulse detonation engine) combined combustor has generated much interest of producing a workable Humphrey CVC (constant volume combustion) cycle engine, with the potential to replace the conventional CP combustor with its inherently higher thermal efficiency, which translates to lower SFC, fuel burn and thus lower CO2 emissions. However, with the higher flame temperatures and pressure gain (i.e.: pressure rise minus pressure losses) in the combustor, the NOx emissions are expected to increase, but at the same time limited by the lower residence times on account of detonative combustion. This study seeks to investigate if the NOx will indeed rise even with shorter residence times. ACARE (Advisory Council for Aeronautics Research in Europe) has set ambitious goals to reduce the LTO (landing and take-off) NOx by 80% by 2020. This study mainly considers the overall NOx emissions besides the LTO NOx, which is not currently regulated, but steps are being taken towards covering this in future revisions of the regulations. The approach used is to develop a performance-based emissions model that could be used for the CVC engine, and also for the conventional CPC baseline engine, in order to compare both using a multidisciplinary design tool (PMDF) for a medium-haul flight of 2500 nm. PMDF is coupled to an optimiser in order to assess and optimise the CVC for best fuel burn and NOx emissions without compromising on thrust. The results of this preliminary study does indeed show an increase in NOx emissions index, but interestingly, it also shows that the overall emissions are reduced when comparing the two engines at bypass ratios higher than 7. Moreover, there are strategies to reduce NOx formation in parallel to techniques used today.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The Dynamic Positioning (DP) System of a vessel involves complex interactions between a large number of sub-systems. Each sub-system plays a unique role in the continuous overall DP function for safe and reliable operation of the vessel. Rating the significance or assigning weightings to the DP sub-systems in different operating conditions is a complex task that requires input from many stakeholders. The weighting assignment is a critical step in determining the reliability of the DP system during complex marine and offshore operations. Thus, an accurate weighting assignment is crucial as it, in turn, influences the decision-making of the operator concerning the DP system functionality execution. Often DP operators prefer to rely on intuition in assigning the weightings. However, it introduces an inherent uncertainty and level of inconsistency in the decision making. The systematic assignment of weightings requires a clear definition of criteria and objectives and data collection with the DP system operating continuously in different environmental conditions. The sub-systems of the overall DP system are characterized by multi-attributes resulting in a high number of comparisons thereby making weighting distribution complicated. If the weighting distribution was performed by simplifying the attributes, making the decision by excluding part of them or compromising the cognitive efforts, then this could lead to inaccurate decision making. Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) methods have evolved over several decades and have been used in various applications within the Maritime and Oil and Gas industries. DP, being a complex system, naturally lends itself to the implementation of MCDM techniques to assign weight distribution among its sub-systems. In this paper, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) methodology is used for weight assignment among the DP sub-systems. An AHP model is effective in obtaining the domain knowledge from numerous experts and representing knowledge-guided indexing. The approach involved examination of several criteria in terms of both quantitative and qualitative variables. A state-of-the-art advisory decision-making tool, Dynamic Positioning Reliability Index (DP-RI), is used to validate the results from AHP. The weighting assignments from AHP are close to the reality and verified using the tool through real-life scenarios.

In International Psychological Applications Conference and Trends. inScience Press, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.36315/2021inpact058.
Full textAbstract:
"Bonding represents an emotional tie that one experiences towards one´s own child. There are several instruments to measure the level and quality of bonding. Among them we chose and translated the Postpartum Bonding Questionnaire by Brockington et al. (2001) into Slovak language. The aim of this study was to analyse its psychometric qualities. Our non-clinical sample consisted of women (N= 372) 18 and 44 years (M= 29.74; SD= 5.25) who recently gave birth in Slovakian hospitals. Data collection was carried out from September 2015 until March 2018. Participants filled the Postpartum bonding questionnaire by Brockington et al. (2001) and some of them other three tools: Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale by Cox, Holgen and Sagovsky (1987), Depression Anxiety Stress scale-42 (Lovibond & Lovibond, 1995) and Parental Stress Scale (Berry & Jones, 1995). The distributions of the items of the bonding were mostly skewed and leptokurtic. Internal consistency is high for the overall Lack of Bonding (?= .897) and varies in factors- ?= .820 for Impaired Bonding, ?= .779 for Rejection and Anger, ?= .506 for Anxiety about Care and ?= .321 for Risk of Abuse. In order to prove convergent validity, we correlated overall Lack of Bonding with depression (Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, rs= .251, Depression Anxiety Stress scale-42 depression rs=.404; n=79), stress and anxiety (Depression Anxiety Stress scale-42, stress rs=.392; anxiety rs=.496; n=79) and parental stress (Parental Stress Scale score; rs= .674, n=99). We did not confirm original factor structure via confirmatory factor analysis using principal axis factoring with oblimine rotation. Then, we used principal component analysis with varimax rotation method to reduce the items. 6 components were extracted. Component 1 was comprised of 15 items that explained 35,6 % of the variance with loadings from .306 to .733. Hence, we proposed new item-structure for the Slovak PBQ. We concluded that the Slovak version of the PBQ proved to have good overall reliability. We found evidences for the convergent validity with parental stress, anxiety, stress, and partly depression, because there were two different results. We also suggest creating a shorter version based on the analysis. Among limits we can see tools used for validity evidence and sample without participants for clinical population. We advise to use the Slovak version of the Postpartum Bonding Questionnaire as a tool to measure bonding in a research context and to use overall summary index (Lack of Bonding) instead of factors."
