New Approach

This paper introduces a semi-automated system that facilitates emergency response vehicle (ERV) movement through a transportation link by providing instructions to downstream non-ERVs. The proposed system adapts to information from non-ERVs that are nearby and downstream of the ERV. As the ERV passes stopped non-ERVs, new non-ERVs are considered. The proposed system sequentially executes integer linear programs (ILPs) on transportation link segments with information transferred between optimizations to ensure ERV movement continuity. This paper extends a previously developed mathematical program that was limited to a single short segment. The new approach limits runtime overhead without sacrificing effectiveness and is more suitable to dynamic systems. It also accommodates partial market penetration of connected vehicles using a heuristic reservation approach, making the proposed system beneficial in the short-term future. The proposed system can also assign the ERV to a specific lateral position at the end of the link, a useful capability when next entering an intersection. Experiments were conducted to develop recommendations to reduce computation times without compromising efficiency. When compared with the current practice of moving to the nearest edge, the system reduces ERV travel time an average of 3.26 s per 0.1 mi and decreases vehicle interactions.

Transformative Process

In any given year, educators are inundated with innumerable products and processes that promise to advance the academic or social-emotional development of their students. Publishers often describe the great potential benefits of implementing a new approach or process yet often do not discuss how to sustainably implement in a way that fits the specific context. Thoughtful program implementation and evaluation remain essential to ensuring success, especially when a district or school decides to take up the challenges of becoming a trauma-informed school, an innovation with myriad strategies and programs that, when implemented and evaluated with intention, can make a meaningful impact on students, staff, and families. Using the phases of implementation, this chapter discusses the importance of program evaluation and lays out a framework to support district and school efforts in the transformative process of becoming a trauma-informed system.

G.M. Valyashko is one of the founders of the new methodology for processing and interpreting the results of marine magnetometric measurements. In the 70s, he created an automated system for collecting and processing geophysical information, which was called “Sailor”. G.M. Valyashko continuously improved the Sailor, who lived a long life on the ships of the Institute of Oceanology from the first on-board computers to modern personal computers.

This paper presents the results of a magnetometer survey and initial archaeological excavations of Macassan and Indigenous features conducted at the Anuru Bay Macassan trepang processing site. The archaeology of this area is complex, containing both material reflecting the Indigenous utilisation of coastal resources and the periodic visits of the Macassan trepangers from Indonesia. Despite a history of archaeological investigations on Macassan period sites (i.e. Clarke 1994; McKnight 1976; Mitchell 1994), geophysical survey has not previously been applied as part of these investigations. While Macassan sites may contain features amenable to conventional archaeological geophysics (such as iron trepang processing pots), additional potential exists for the application of magnetometry to locate features created through burning, as has been applied to Australian Indigenous sites (Bonhomme & Stanley 1985; Fanning et al. 2009; Moffat et al. 2008 & 2010; Stanley & Green 1976; Wallis et al. 2008) and international Indigenous sites (Abbot & Frederick 1990; Batt & Dockrill 1998; Jones & Munson 2005). The results of this study demonstrate that this approach is equally applicable to Macassan sites, opening up a new and potentially fruitful avenue for exploring the archaeology of this trade system.

Laboratory Protocol

Use of equipment-free, “manual” blood cultures is still widespread in low-resource settings, as requirements for implementation of automated systems are often not met. Quality of manual blood culture bottles currently on the market, however, is usually unknown. An acceptable quality in terms of yield and speed of growth can be ensured by evaluating the bottles using simulated blood cultures. In these experiments, bottles from different systems are inoculated in parallel with blood and a known quantity of bacteria. Based on literature review and personal experiences, we propose a short and practical protocol for an efficient evaluation of manual blood culture bottles, aimed at research or reference laboratories in low-resource settings. This laboratory protocol was used in a study for Médecins Sans Frontières' Mini-Lab project, which aims to bring clinical bacteriology to low-resource settings. Three bottle types were evaluated in this study; two "manual" blood culture bottles and one automated system.

The Given

This paper introduces a new approach of clustering of text documents based on a set of words using graph mining techniques. The proposed approach clusters (groups) those text documents having searched successfully for the given set of words from a set of given text documents. The document-word relation can be represented as a bi-partite graph. All the clustering of text documents is represented as sub-graphs. Further, the paper proposes an algorithm for clustering of text documents for a given set of words. It is an automated system and requires minimal human interaction for the clustering of text documents. The algorithm has been implemented using C++ programming language and observed satisfactory results.
