Abstract This article meditates on black unbelonging as the haunting impasse reached when attempting to wrest a phenomenological account of life amid perpetual death. It seeks expose calculated dislocation modes being, embodiment, and sensation from hegemonic categories experience that serve capture, surveil, leave Blacks in state “constitutive discomfort.” Rather than merely signifying non-ont...

Background In Denmark, all ambulance transports are dispatched through the Acute Medical Coordination Centre (AMK). Even though this unit is the only way to request an ambulance, it is experienced by many Emergency Technicians EMTs that the visitation based on patient illness and injury differs widely. The visitation is performed either by an AMK visitation officer (AMK-VO), or a doctor that ta...

Supervised visitation centers (SVCs) have developed rapidly across the United States. Increasingly, courts are restricting contact between abusive intimate partners and their children by ordering visitation or exchanges to occur at SVCs. This article describes some of the key lessons the authors learned over 18 months of planning and then another 18 months of implementation at a SVC developed s...

The objective of the TARGET VISITATION PROBLEM is to determine a path for an unmanned aerial vehicle that begins at a point of origin and needs to visit several targets before returning to its starting point. An optimal visitation sequence is one which minimizes the total distance traveled and maximizes the utility of the visitation order. This utility measure is defined for each pair of target...

Scientists have traditionally studied recreation in nature by conducting surveys at entrances to major attractions such as national parks. This method is expensive and provides limited spatial and temporal coverage. A new source of information is available from online social media websites such as flickr. Here, we test whether this source of "big data" can be used to approximate visitation rate...

Studies of pairwise interactions have shown that an alien plant can affect the pollination of a native plant, this effect being mediated by shared pollinators. Here we use a manipulative field experiment, to investigate the impact of the alien plant Impatiens glandulifera on an entire community of coflowering native plants. Visitation and pollen transport networks were constructed to compare re...

Real-time search algorithms are relevant to timesensitive decision-making domains such as video games and robotics. In such settings, the agent is required to decide on each action under a constant time bound, regardless of the search space size. Despite recent progress, poor-quality solutions can be produced mainly due to state re-visitation. Different techniques have been developed to reduce ...

Abstract Public lands in the United States have recently experienced significant increases visitation. Journalists and park managers suggest Instagram as a reason for increase. We explore this issue Oregon State Park system by combining visitation data with park-specific georeferenced content engagement indicators from Instagram. Using several empirical specifications, we show suggesti...

Model interpreters play an essential role in modelintegrated systems: they transform domain-specific models into executable models. The state-ot-the-art of model interpreter writing needs to be advanced to enhance the reusability and maintainability of this software. This paper presents an approach which makes this possible through the use of structured specifications. These specifications let ...

objectives the present study aimed to determine the effect of increased visitation time on physiological indices of the patients hospitalized in icus. materials and methods this clinical trial study was conducted in the icus of vail-e-asr hospital in arak city, iran. a total of 60 subjects were randomly assigned to the intervention and control groups with visitation time for 10 minutes 3 times ...
