PURPOSE/OBJECTIVES To evaluate the quality of evidence on sleep-wake disturbances in people with cancer as a basis for clinical decision making and to discuss implications of the evidence for oncology clinicians, educators, and researchers. DATA SOURCES Published, peer-reviewed articles. DATA SYNTHESIS Members of the 2001 Oncology Nursing Society (ONS) Advanced Practice Nurse Retreat Eviden...

Results are presented from an experimental study that compares the large-scale structure, mean velocities, and scaling properties of confined, supersonic, planar, turbulent, bluff-body wakes at M∞ ≈ 2 and 3 with corresponding results from incompressible wakes. The large-scale structure of incompressible planar turbulent wakes is recovered at downstream locations x where the local relative Mach ...

Radio communication remains the primary battery consuming activity in wireless systems. Advances in MAC protocols have enabled significant lifetime improvements, but in systems with low data rate, idle listening, and other communication artifacts can begin to dominate costs. One proposal to combat this is the addition of a second, extremely low power radio component that is always-on. As a cons...

About 25% of all strokes occur during sleep, i.e., without knowledge of exact time of symptom onset. According to licensing criteria, this large group of patients is excluded from treatment with received tissue-plasminogen activator, the only specific stroke treatment proven effective in large randomized trials. This paper reviews clinical and imaging characteristics of wake-up stroke and gives...

A PIC simulation of the interaction of a positive charged bunch with an e-cloud yields the wake kick from the electrons on the tail particles of the bunch. The wake is induced from a certain offset in the transverse position of the head parts of the bunch which perturbs the electron distribution. Such pre-computed wake functions of each offset part of the bunch are forming a matrix which could ...

We derive formulae for the coherent and incoherent tune shift due to the nonlinear resistive-wall wake field for a single beam travelling between two parallel plates. The theoretical predictions are compared with measurements performed on an LHC prototype collimator during the 2004 SPS run. We show that the tune shift derived from the nonlinear wake field yields a better agreement with the meas...

Wake-up radio, as a secondary radio transceiver, is implemented to monitor the channel condition so that the main radio can be turned off when there is no communication activity. This thesis work focuses on the analysis of passive wake-up radio (PWUR), where the wake-up radio is entirely powered by the wake-up signal and does not need any additional battery supply. The work covers PWUR’s both h...

In this paper, we will present our work towards designing a control strategy to mitigate wind turbine wake effects by redirecting the wakes, specifically applied to the Fishermen’s Atlantic City Windfarm, proposed for deployment within the next few years off the shore of Atlantic City, New Jersey. As wind turbines extract energy from the air, they create low-speed wakes that extend behind them....

Despite decades of research in defining sleep-wake properties in mammals, little is known about the nature or identity of genes that regulate sleep, a fundamental behaviour that in humans occupies about one-third of the entire lifespan. While genome-wide association studies in humans and quantitative trait loci (QTL) analyses in mice have identified candidate genes for an increasing number of c...

Although a nonlinear time-of-day and prior wake interaction on performance has been well documented, two recent studies have aimed to incorporate the influences of sleep restriction into this paradigm. Through the use of sleep-restricted forced desynchrony protocols, both studies reported a time-of-day × sleep restriction interaction, as well as a time-of-day × prior wake × sleep dose three-way...
