The creation and improvement of non-invasive closed-loop brain stimulation technologies represent an exciting and rapidly expanding field of neuroscience. To identify the appropriate way to close the feedback loop in adaptive neurostimulation procedures, it was previously proposed to use on-line automatic sensory stimulation with the parameters modulated by the patient’s own rhythmical processes, such as respiratory rate, heart rate, and electroencephalogram (EEG) rhythms. The current paper aims to analyze several recent studies demonstrating further development in this line of research. The advantages of using automatic closed-loop feedback from human endogenous rhythms in non-invasive adaptive neurostimulation procedures have been demonstrated for relaxation assistance, for the correction of stress-induced functional disturbances, for anxiety management, and for the cognitive rehabilitation of an individual. Several distinctive features of the approach are noted to delineate its further development.

Objetivo: analisar na literatura, publicações científicas que apontam uma relação entre IRAS e os principais dispositivos de monitorização não invasiva (termômetro, esfigmomanômetro, cabo de ECG e oxímetro). Método: revisão integrativa, respondendo a questão: como a literatura aborda a ocorrência das IRAS associada aos principais dispositivos de monitorização não invasivo? Realizada através de busca online de artigos científicos nas bases LILACS/SCIELO, MEDLINE, Biblioteca Cochrane e IBECS, entre julho e setembro de 2013, associando o descritor cross infection aos seguintes: thermometers, sphygmomanometers, oximetry e electrocardography. Resultados: Foram encontrados 252 artigos, aplicando-se os critérios de inclusão e exclusão obteve-se 13, nos quais todos indicam uma relação entre infecção cruzada e os dispositivos não invasivos em questão. Conclusão: após exaustiva leitura e análise dos estudos conclui-se que estes dispositivos são potencias veículos de infecção cruzada, sendo necessário aprofundamento da temática, mediante estudos científicos, possibilitando reflexões e tomada de decisão com repercussão na prática clínica.Descritores: infecção cruzada, esfigmomanômetro, termômetro, oxímetro e eletrocardiografiaNoninvasive monitoring devices such as cross-infection vehicles: integrative reviewObjective: To analyze the published works on hospital infections related to non-invasive monitoring devices.(sphygmomanometer, thermometer, oximetry, electrocardiograph) Method: Integrative review, answering the question: how does the literature address the occurrence of IRAS associated with the main non-invasive monitoring devices? It was carried out through online search of scientific articles in the databases LILACS / SCIELO, MEDLINE, Cochrane Library and IBECS, between July and September of 2013, associating the descriptor cross infection with the following: thermometers, sphygmomanometers, oximetry and electrocardography. Results: We found 252 articles, applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria obtained 13, in which all indicate a relationship between cross infection and the non-invasive devices in question. Conclusion: After exhaustive reading and analysis of studies have concluded that these noninvasive monitoring devices to be potential vehicles of cross-infection, necessitating further development of the theme by scientific studies, enabling reflections and decisions that have impact on clinical practice.Descriptors: cross infection, sphygmomanometer, thermometer, oximetry, electrocardiograph and nursingDispositivos de monitorización no invasivos como vehículos de infección cruzada: revisión integrativaObjetivo: Analizar en la literatura publicaciones científicas sobre las infecciones hospitalarias relacionadas con dispositivos de monitorización no invasiva.(esfigmomanómetro, termómetro, oxímetro, electrocardiógrafo) Método: revisión integrativa, respondiendo a la pregunta: ¿Cómo la literatura trata las ocurrencias de infecciones hospitalarias asociado con los principales dispositivos de monitorización no invasiva?

A nitrification/denitrification process was applied to reject water treatment from sludge dewatering at Bottrop central sludge treatment facilities of the Emschergenossenschaft. On-line monitoring of influent and effluent turbidity, closed loop control of DO and pH, and on-line monitoring of nitrogen compounds were combined to a three level control pattern. Though on-line measurement of substrate and product showed substantial response time it could be used to operate nitrification/denitrification within process boundaries.

A critical component of the learning process lies in the feedback that students receive on their work that validates their progress, identifies flaws in their thinking, and identifies skills that still need to be learned. Many higher-education institutions have developed an active pedagogy that gives students opportunities for different forms of assessment and feedback. This means that students have numerous lab exercises, assignments, and projects. Both instructors and students thus require effective tools to efficiently manage the submission, assessment, and individualized feedback of students’ work. The open-source web application MarkUs aims at meeting these needs: it facilitates the submission and assessment of students’ work. Students directly submit their work using MarkUs, rather than printing it, or sending it by email. The instructors or teaching assistants use MarkUs’s interface to view the students’ work, annotate it, and fill in a marking rubric. Students use the same interface to read the annotations and learn from the assessment. Managing the students’ submissions and the instructors assessments within a single online system, has led to several positive pedagogical outcomes: the number of late submissions has decreased, the assessment time has been drastically reduced, students can access their results and read the instructor’s feedback immediately after the grading process is completed. Using MarkUs has also significantly reduced the time that instructors spend collecting assignments, creating the marking schemes, passing them on to graders, handling special cases, and returning work to the students. In this paper, we introduce MarkUs’ features, and illustrate their benefits for higher education through our own teaching experiences and that of our colleagues. We also describe an important benefit of the fact that the tool itself is open-source. MarkUs has been developed entirely by students giving them a valuable learning opportunity as they work on a large software system that real users depend on. Virtuous circles indeed arise, with former users of MarkUs becoming developers and then supervisors of further development. We will conclude by drawing perspectives about forthcoming features and use, both technically and pedagogically.

It is very important to simulate driver's manipulation for people - car - road closed loop simulation system. In this paper, the driver model is divided into two parts, linear vehicle model is used to simulate the driver's driving experience, and closed-loop feedback is used to characterize the driver's emergency feedback. The lateral acceleration of vehicle is used as feedback in closed loop control. Simulation results show that the smaller lateral acceleration requires the less closed-loop feedback control. The driver model can accurately track the target path, which can be used to simulate the manipulation of the driver. The driver model can be used for people - car - road closed loop simulation to evaluate vehicle handling stability.
