Accuracy Analysis of Airborne Gravimeter Calibration Using Repeated Flight Paths

Some possible errors in determining the gravity anomalies are discussed. Such errors may be caused by an inaccurate calibration of the gravimeter used in an airborne survey system. An approach based on the wavelet decomposition is proposed for its additional calibration with the use of flight data obtained during repeated flights.

Retroactive Responsibility : A Comparison of Argumentation on State redress for Historical Institutional Child Abuse in Sweden and Denmark

State redress for abuse and neglect in children’s homes has been debated in all Scandinavian countries since early 2000s. In Sweden, an official apology was issued in 2011, and a temporary law enabled Swedish care leavers to apply for compensation of SEK 250,000 during 2013 and 2014. In Denmark, proposals for an official apology have repeatedly been turned down in Parliament. In this article, I co

Fast algorithm of LTE RACH detection based on Sparse Fourier Transform

In this paper, we present a fast algorithm of time synchronization between User Equipment (UE) and Base Station (BS) which is suitable for Long Term Evolution (LTE) Random Access Channel (RACH). The algorithm reduces the complexity more than 1.5 times. Further, if the SNR is above a threshold, the algorithm allows to extremely reduce the complexity of synchronization more than 3 times. The present

Derivation and validation of the CREST model for very early prediction of circulatory etiology death in patients without ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction after cardiac arrest

BACKGROUND: No practical tool quantitates the risk of circulatory-etiology death (CED) immediately after successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation in patients without ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction. We developed and validated a prediction model to rapidly determine that risk and facilitate triage to individualized treatment pathways. METHODS: With the use of INTCAR (International Cardia

Optic disc diameter influences the ability to detect glaucomatous disc damage

We studied the influence of optic disc diameter on the diagnostic power of subjective disc evaluation of glaucoma. One hundred and thirteen colour disc photographs of 91 patients with primary open angle glaucoma and 174 photographs of 89 randomly selected normal subjects were studied. Five ophthalmologists independently classified all eyes as glaucomatous or normal by disc appearance using a maske

Retaining blood donors : a relationship management perspective

Strong organisation-stakeholder relationships contribute to the former attaining its goals. This is also the case with blood services, such as the South African National Blood Service (SANBS). Blood services are dependent on people donating blood to unknown recipients, without remuneration. This paper reports the approach of the SANBS to relationship management with its donors, as well as the perc

Relationship management with managers of countrywide offices of SEESA : a case study

Employees are a crucial stakeholder group for organisations since they determinethe degree to which they achieve their goals. It is therefore necessary to build strong relationships with the workforce to encourage employee engagement, which implies that employees’ individual goals are aligned to those of the organisation. To build strong relationships, internal communication should be managed stra

In vitro maintenance of multipotent neural crest stem cells as crestospheres

Neural crest cells are a critical source of many cell types of the vertebrate body. However, as a stem cell population they are peculiar because of the transient nature of their stem cell niche; soon after the multipotent neural crest cells are specified in the neuroepithelium, they become mesenchymal cells that migrate into various destinations in early embryos. These rapid in vivo changes during

Translation and pilot study of the Cleft Hearing Appearance and Speech Questionnaire (CHASQ)

Background: There has been a lack of a standardized protocol for collection of patient reported outcomes (PRO) and detection of and indication for psychological treatment in cleft care. The objectives of this paper was to translate Cleft Hearing Appearance and Speech Questionnaire (CHASQ) into eight European languages, to investigate whether levels of PRO in patients with cleft lip and/or cleft pa

Role of active surveillance and focal therapy in low- and intermediate-risk prostate cancers

Purpose: Low-risk prostate cancer is found in about half of newly diagnosed men subjected to PSA screening. Methods: To define the role of active surveillance and focal therapy in low- and intermediate-risk prostate cancers, an invited international panel of practicing physicians in the field of localized prostate cancer discussed the available literature in three consecutive meetings to come to a
