BACKGROUND Head of bed elevation ≥ 30° reduces ventilator-associated pneumonia in mechanically ventilated patients, but adherence is variable and difficult to monitor continuously. Unlike many clinical variables, head of bed elevation is not electronically displayed or monitored with audible alarms. HYPOTHESIS Continuous monitoring of head of bed elevation with audible alerts and visual cues...

A quadratically convergent valence bond self-consistent field method is described where the simultaneous optimisation of orbitals and the coefficients of the configurations (VB structures) is based on a Newton-Raphson scheme. The applicability of the method is demonstrated in actual calculations. The convergence and efficiency are compared with the Super-CI method. A necessary condition to achi...

Cis-regulatory elements feature clustered sites for transcription factors, defining core enhancers and have inter-species homology. The mouse IgH 3΄ regulatory region (3'RR), a major B-cell super-enhancer, consists of four of such core enhancers, scattered throughout more than 25 kb of packaging 'junk DNA', the sequence of which is not conserved but follows a unique palindromic architecture whi...

In recent years, with the extensive application of video surveillance system in police’s criminal investigation, video investigation technology is playing a more and more important role in detection of cases. Key characters in case spots, such as criminal suspects and witnesses are often targets that attract most attentions. Therefore, face image become the key clue of a case. While in actual s...

Digital elevation model (DEM) is a critical data source for variety of applications such as road extraction, hydrological modeling, flood mapping, and many geospatial studies. The usage high-resolution DEMs inputs in application areas improves the overall reliability accuracy raw dataset. goal this study to develop machine learning that increases spatial resolution DEM without additional inform...

The digital elevation model (DEM) is known as one kind of the most significant fundamental geographical data models. theory, method and application DEM are hot research issues in geography, especially geomorphology, hydrology, soil other related fields. In this paper, we improve efficient sub-pixel convolutional neural networks (ESPCN) propose recursive (RSPCN) to generate higher-resolution DEM...

In this paper, we investigate methods for interference location in satellite communication system using satellite multi-beam antenna with subspace based schemes. A novel MUSIC based approach is proposed for estimating the direction of arrival of the interfering sources. The proposed method provides super resolution and asymptotic maximum likelihood estimates of the direction of arrivals even at...
