Abstract:
Abstract The use of the reference condition approach (RCA) in environmental assessments is becoming more prevalent. Although the RCA was not explicitly described in Green's (1979) book on statistical methods for environmental biologists, we expanded his decision key for selecting an appropriate environmental study design to include this approach. The RCA compares the biological community at a potentially impacted ‘test’ site to communities found in minimally impacted ‘reference’ sites. However, to implement the RCA there are a number of assumptions and decisions that must be made. We compare s

This paper presents a risk-based approach for classifying the road surface conditions of a highway network under winter weather events. A relative risk index (RRI) is developed to capture the effect of adverse weather conditions on the collision risk of a highway in reference to the normal driving conditions. Based on this index, multiple risk factors related to adverse winter weather conditions can be considered either jointly or separately. The index can also be used to aggregate different types of road conditions observed on any given route into a single class for risk-consistent condition

Abstract:
Glomerular diseases are common causes of end-stage kidney disease in many parts of the world. The epidemiology of glomerular diseases varies across countries, contributed in part by genetic predisposition and in part by differences in screening and biopsy practices. While glomerulonephritis could be considered a primary condition due to inherent pathologies in the kidneys, e.g. minimal change disease, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, membranous nephropathy, and IgA nephropathy, it can be secondary to systemic conditions with distinct histopathological features on kidney biopsies. Likewise, even though histopathological patterns like mesangiocapillary and endocapillary glomerulonephritis may represent primary inflammatory features of kidney diseases, they may often manifest as a feature and be a suggestion of an underlying secondary systemic condition. For certain glomerular diseases, the natural history may be one of spontaneous remission, or may follow a remitting–relapsing course even with treatment. The approach to treatment involves general management measures to reduce proteinuria and provide symptomatic relief, with consideration for immunosuppression in those who present with significant morbidities or who have clinical features suggestive of a poor prognostic risk profile.

&lt;em&gt;Abstract.&lt;/em&gt;—Assessments of stream fish or benthos assemblages normally involve a contrast of conditions at test sites to conditions represented by regional reference sites that are either minimally or least disturbed. Identification of reference sites is difficult and normally involves a variety of subjective criteria. The development of reference models for stream fish and benthos in the Canadian tributaries of Lake Ontario is particularly challenging because there are few undeveloped areas and there is no consensus on criteria for a least-disturbed condition. Rather than identify sites as representing a least-disturbed condition, we developed a series of models that relate the existing biophysical condition of streams (i.e., the fish, benthos, and instream habitat) to landscape (i.e., slope, geology, catchment area) and land use/land cover (percent impervious cover [PIC]). Relationships between indices of biophysical condition and PIC can be used to hindcast or estimate the expected biophysical condition at a variety of land cover scenarios. The models cannot be used to predict conditions outside the calibration data range, but this approach does allow us to make use of a disturbance gradient and make predictions with a minimal number of least-disturbed sites. The difference between the hindcast reference and present day conditions is an estimate of present-day impacts. Results from this exercise provided an estimate of the magnitude of impairment of streams in the Canadian portion of the Lake Ontario region.

Abstract:
This chapter discusses paediatrics in critical care and includes discussion on both paediatric transfers for the adult intensivist and looking after a vulnerable child (safeguarding children for the adult practitioner). With the centralization of specialist services into a limited number of hospitals across the UK, an increasing number of children require an interhospital transfer. These include but are not limited to the transfer of the critically ill child. Between 2012 and 2014, 18 500 transfers of critically ill or injured children were undertaken across the UK, of which 2400 were undertaken by non-specialist teams. These patients are some of the sickest children. It is while in transit that these patients are most at risk and the transferring team is most exposed. To minimize risks it is important that the team holds the relevant skills to stabilize and transfer children. A systematic approach is vital. The patient’s condition should be optimized before transfer and any likely difficulties anticipated and a plan to tackle any complications swiftly and effectively is agreed prior to the transfer. In this chapter we offer our approach to the safe transfer of the critically ill child. The second part of this chapter offers an introduction into the safeguarding of vulnerable children. A 2009 survey conducted by the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children asking children to self-report abuse and neglect found that 18.6% of 11–17-year-olds said they had experienced some type of severe maltreatment. The high prevalence of child abuse makes it likely for the medical practitioner who is mostly caring for adult patients to encounter vulnerable children in clinical practice. This will often happen when participating in the resuscitation of a critically ill or injured child, when anaesthetizing a child, or when looking after a caregiver of such a child. The aim of this chapter is to provide these practitioners with the information that will help them to identify possible child abuse and make them aware of their responsibilities towards these children and their options for action.

Abstract:
This paper proposes a multi-channel internet of things (IoT)-based industrial wireless sensor network (IWSN) with ensemble-features fault diagnosis for machine condition monitoring and fault diagnosis. In this paper, the rolling bearing is taken as an example of monitored industrial equipment due to its wide use in industrial processes. The rolling bearing vibration signals are measured for further processing and analysis. On-sensor node ensemble feature extraction and fault diagnosis using Back Propagation network are then investigated to address the tension between the higher system requirements of IWSNs and the resource-constrained characteristics of sensor nodes. A two-step classifier fusion approach using Dempster-Shafer theory is also explored to increase diagnosis result quality. Four rolling bearing operating in cage fracture, rolling ball spalling, inner ring spalling and outer ring spalling are monitored to evaluate the proposed system. The final fault diagnosis results using the proposed classifier fusion approach give a result certainty of at least 94.21%, proving the feasibility of the proposed method to identify the bearing-fault patterns. This paper is conducted to provide new insights into how a high-accuracy IoT-based ensemble-features fault diagnosis algorithm is designed and further giving advisable reference to more IWSNs scenarios.

Abstract:
&lt;i&gt;Abstract&lt;/i&gt;.—Spatial patterns of subtidal benthic invertebrates and physicalchemical variables in the nearshore Gulf of Maine (Acadian biogeographic province) were studied to provide information to calibrate benthic indices of ecological condition, determine physical-chemical factors affecting species distributions, and compare recent data with historical biogeographic studies. Knowledge of the distribution of species and how they are affected by biotic, environmental, and anthropogenic factors is essential to the pursuit of ecosystem-based management. Five years (2000–2004) of data from 268 reference stations of the National Coastal Assessment were used. Multidimensional scaling done on Bray-Curtis similarity matrices of species’ relative abundance (367 species) showed faunal transitions around Cape Ann and Cape Elizabeth, with a weaker transition around Penobscot Bay. The southernmost area shared 41% of its species with the northernmost area. An ordination of environmental data (temperature, salinity, sediment percent silt-clay, depth) correlated well with the ordination of benthic relative abundance data (&lt;I&gt;R &lt;/I&gt;= 0.75, &lt;i&gt;p &lt;/i&gt;&lt; 0.03). Temperature was the most important factor affecting broad species distribution patterns, followed by salinity. A multivariate regression tree first split the fauna at a temperature of 16°C. Species richness increased with increasing salinity but showed no relationship with latitude or percent silt-clay. Accuracy of benthic indices for the nearshore Gulf of Maine might be improved by taking biogeographical differences among subregions into account. These results provide a foundation for ecosystem-based management, valuation of ecosystem services, conservation, and ocean spatial planning.

Abstract:
This chapter argues for the idea of tradition as the temporal condition of practice. It is suggested that anthropologists and historians necessarily presuppose tradition – or something like it – when they set out to interpret other people’s practices as reasonable human action. The chapter reviews positive, genealogical and operationalized models of tradition, as applied to Southeast Asian culture and society. But each comes up wanting. So, as an alternative, the chapter returns to MacIntyre to examine his approach to tradition as an ‘argument extended through time’. This account of tradition is considered with specific reference to a public ritual-cum-parade called the Grebeg Aksara, which was organized by the Balinese scholar and public intellectual, Ida Wayan Oka Granoka. As with MacIntyre’s account of practice (Chapter 5), the ethnography seems to suggest certain limitations in his approach to tradition.

Abstract:
Debris flow causes huge casualties and economic losses to railway construction and transportation every year, so it is of great significance to analyze the severity of debris flow to reduce the loss. For the debris flow hazards severity analysis, an integrated approach based on G1-ANP was proposed. Firstly, under the condition of the environmental risk, induced conditional risk, and vulnerability risk, the 16 index factors have been selected, for example, the degree of slope, land use type, flow accumulation, and annual mean rainfall. Then, considering the interaction among risk factors, a multi-level G1-ANP risk factor structure model has been established based on the criteria of buried capacity, impact velocity, and scouring distance (or area) of debris flow and the solution process of the model was described. Finally, the risk severity and the proportion of the various risks for each section were calculated using the weighted method. The analysis results are shown in the improved radar chart. The results show that the overall severity of debris flow in the Chengkang railway is not very high. The results can provide a reference for the management of debris flow hazards prevention and reduce the losses caused by hazards in railway operation.

The main reasons are that, firstly, the existence of human rights cannot be determined without reference to concrete conditions of life, and that, secondly, concrete conditions of life are today not sufficiently similar across the world to justify all human beings possessing the economic and social rights asserted in human rights doctrine. The chapter also raises some concerns about the emphasis placed by political approaches on the role that human rights are intended to play in global political life. Underlying this emphasis is the idea that universality is a necessary but not a sufficient existence condition for human rights: in order for a right to qualify as a human right, it must not only be universal, but it must also be important enough to justify an international response.

Abstract:
The reference stress method has been developed to assess the service life for many components under creep condition. However, in order to use the reference stress as a representative stress to assess the creep fatigue life, some modifications are needed. The σd approach based on reference stress, used in RCC-MR, is one of the most common method to assess creep fatigue crack incubation. The aim of this paper is to develop a novel model based on reference stress and the σd approach to estimate the life subjected to creep-fatigue interaction under multiaxial condition for defect free structures.

Abstract:
The process of sediment flushing is simulated by a 3D numerical model in which sediment and flow interaction are reflected in the reservoirs. RANS equations are solved numerically by finite volume with a k-ε turbulence model. The convection-diffusion equation for the sediment concentration is solved. The Van-Rijn’s reference level concentration equation is adopted as a boundary condition. Bed changes are obtained by application of sediment continuity equation. The numerical results show that the flushing efficiency is related to the outflow discharge, initial conditions of water level and numb

Abstract In this paper, the floating frame of reference approach is applied to the dynamics of the impact of flexible bodies, while component mode synthesis is used to describe deformation. The influence of the reference conditions, that indicate the type of attachment between the body fixed frame of reference and the flexible bodies, is investigated. Rigid and free attachments allow the use of fixed interface and free interface normal modes, respectively. A finite number of fixed interface modes does not fulfil the natural boundary condition at the attachment point. Free interface normal mode

Abstract:
This paper addresses active lighting recurrence (ALR), a new problem that actively relocalizes a light source to physically reproduce the lighting condition for a same scene from single reference image. ALR is of great importance for fine-grained visual monitoring and change detection, because some phenomena or minute changes can only be clearly observed under particular lighting conditions. Hence, effective ALR should be able to online navigate a light source toward the target pose, which is challenging due to the complexity and diversity of real-world lighting \&amp; imaging processes.

Abstract:
In this paper, a diagnostic system based on a uniquely structured Kalman filter is developed for its application to inflight fault detection of aircraft engine sensors. The Kalman filter is a hybrid of a nonlinear on-board engine model (OBEM) and piecewise linear models. The utilization of the nonlinear OBEM allows the reference health baseline of the diagnostic system to be updated, through a relatively simple process, to the health condition of degraded engines. Through this health baseline update, the diagnostic effectiveness of the in-flight sensor fault detection system is maintained as t

Abstract:
Energy system performance may differ from the expected one during actual operation because of the effects of faults, anomalies, wear and tear due to normal use. One of the main issues of diagnosis, i.e. the procedure to discover the causes of malfunctions, is to find the way back from measured altered performance to the original cause. Several procedures were proposed in the literature to solve the diagnostic problem, usually based on the comparison between a reference non-malfunctioning condition and an actual, possibly malfunctioning, condition.
