OBJECTIVE Opioid overdoses (ODs) have been increasing, and harm reduction efforts are a priority. The success of these efforts will be dependent on the identification of at-risk patients and improved access to the antidote naloxone. Therefore, to identify access to naloxone and factors associated with negative health outcomes, we conducted a retrospective study of patients with OD to identify t...

The world eagerly needs cleanly-generated electricity in the future. Fusion reactor is one of the most ideal energy resources to defeat the environmental degradation caused by the consumption of traditional fossil energy. To meet the design requirements of fusion reactor, the development of the structural materials which can sustain the elevated temperature, high helium concentration and extrem...

An on-line pretreatment liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) system was developed for the analysis of chloramphenicol (CAP) in royal jelly. A novel methylcellulose-immobilized restricted access media column with a higher-pressure capability of 60 MPa (MC-ODS HP) was developed for the effective removal of proteins and other compounds in the sample matrix. CAP in a sample sol...

A 330-pL chromatographic bed was fabricated on a glass substrate as part of an electroosmotically pumped microfluidic system. Two weirs within a sample channel formed a cavity in which octadecylsilane (ODS) coated silica beads (1.5-4 microns diameter) were trapped. ODS beads were mobilized into and out of the cavity using electroosmotic flow through a bead-introduction channel which accessed th...

This paper presents an Object Distribution System (ODS), a distributed system inspired by the ultra-large scale distribution models used in everyday life (e.g. food or newspapers distribution chains). Beyond traditional mechanisms of approaching information to readers (e.g. caching and mirroring), this system enables the publication, classification and subscription to volumes of objects (e.g. d...

The management of access control (AC) policies in open distributed systems (ODS), like the Grid, P2P systems, or Virtual Repositories (databases or data grids) can take two extreme approaches. The first extreme approach is a centralized management of the policy (that still allows a distribution of AC policy enforcement). This approach requires a full trust in a central entity that manages the A...

Outcome-dependent sampling (ODS) has been widely used in biomedical studies because it is a cost-effective way to improve study efficiency. However, in the setting of a continuous outcome, the representation of the exposure variable has been limited to the framework of linear models, due to the challenge in terms of both theory and computation. Partial linear models (PLM) are a powerful inferen...

Nowadays, global sustainability is the central issue in recycling and, increasingly, in manufacturing. Recycling used products can save energy, natural resources, and landfill space, and can reduce air pollution. It can give used products new lives. The study of disassembly is needed in order to make recycling economical, and disassembly sequence generation (DSG) plays an important role. An app...

In this work, we study a flexible compensation scheme for last-mile delivery where company outsources part of the activity delivering products to its customers occasional drivers (ODs), under named crowdshipping. All deliveries are completed at minimum total cost incurred with their vehicles and plus paid ODs. The decides on best offer ODs planning stage. We model our problem based stochastic d...

The electricity distribution breakdown can be caused the service life and operating frequency of Oil Dielectric Strength (ODS). Hence, it requires a study due to spare part is difficult find. This paper aims test ODS on Circuit Breaker (OCB) 13.8 kV aged between 29 43 years. used ASTM D1816 standard analyze effect oil circuit breaker physical, color strength ODS. For visual D1524 standard. base...
