Last Minute Medical Appointments No-Show Management
A no-show occurs when a client has an appointment of some sort with another entity, and voluntarily or not, the client does not show up to that appointment. A patient missing an appointment will mean that the clinic's and health...

The Innerworkings of Digital Storytelling
Traditionally, storytelling was used for entertainment and the transfer of know-how. The advent of digital media gave rise to new possibilities for telling stories. When the context is, for example, to relay information about...

Jun 17, 2021
Overactive phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) in cancer and immune dysregulation has spurred extensive efforts to develop therapeutic PI3K inhibitors. Although progress has been hampered by issues such as poor drug tolerance and...
Flexible Optical Amplifier for Visible-Light Communications Based on Organic-Inorganic Hybrids.
Ana Bastos, Barry McKenna, Mário Lima, Paulo S André, Luís D Carlos, Rachel C Evans, Rute AS Ferreira
Feb 08, 2019
Visible-light communications (VLCs) based on white light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are emerging as a low-cost and energy-efficient alternative solution to wireless communications. As white emitting LEDs use a combination of a...
Drones and the uninsurable security subjects
This paper engages with the security dynamics underlying the use of drones and their impact on security subjects–individuals and groups that are the ultimate recipients of specific security policies, regardless of whether...
Use of Internet of Things With Data Prediction on Healthcare Environments
Internet of Things (IoT) is a constantly growing paradigm that promises to revolutionize healthcare applications and could be associated with several other techniques. Data prediction is another widely used paradigm, where data...

Beckett's Vessels and the Animation of Containers
Hunter Dukes
Apr 13, 2016
Samuel Beckett's novels and plays are filled with lively vessels: emergent sites of subjectivity that blur the borderline between the human and nonhuman. When Malone Dies is read next to anthropological theories of the...

Towards a More Strategic Partnership
With Europe’s security order becoming ever more fragile, the EU and the OSCE face verydifferent political and structural challenges. While the EU’s new Strategic Compass emphasizesits aspirations to become a genuine security...
The Medicago truncatula GRAS protein RAD1 supports arbuscular mycorrhiza symbiosis and Phytophthora palmivora susceptibility.
Thomas Rey, Maxime Bonhomme, Abhishek Chatterjee, Aleksandr Gavrin, Justine Toulotte, Weibing Yang, Olivier André, Christophe Jacquet, Sebastian Schornack
Jan 26, 2018
The roots of most land plants are colonized by symbiotic arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) fungi. To facilitate this symbiosis, plant genomes encode a set of genes required for microbial perception and accommodation. However, the...

Rotational waves generated by current-topography interaction
We study nonlinear free-surface rotational waves generated through the interaction of a vertically sheared current with a topography. Equivalently, the waves may be generated by a pressure distribution along the free surface....
Compensation phenomena for concentration effects via nonlinear elliptic estimates
We study compensation phenomena for fields satisfying both a pointwise and a linear differential constraint. This effect takes the form of nonlinear elliptic estimates, where constraining the values of the field to lie in a cone...

Anthropogenic extinction of Pacific land snails
Faunistic surveys are fundamental in the conservation of land mollusks, particularly as a means of achieving accurate estimates of species richness and levels of extinction of endangered taxa. The family Endodontidae comprises...
Preventing Wetting Between Liquid Copper and Solid Steel
Abstract: Copper contamination of end-of-life steel scrap is the main barrier to high-quality recycling. Preferential melting of copper from solid steel scrap is a potential extraction technique, which could be integrated into...
Flow structure beneath rotational water waves with stagnation points
The purpose of this work is to explore in detail the structure of the interior flow generated by periodic surface waves on a fluid with constant vorticity. The problem is mapped conformally to a strip and solved numerically...
Radiation and decline of endodontid land snails in Makatea, French Polynesia.
The family Endodontidae Pilsbry, 1895 comprised one of the most diverse groups of indigenous land snails of Pacific Islands. However, due to anthropogenic degradation of their habitats and predation by or competition with...
Scrap, carbon and cost savings from the adoption of flexible nested blanking
Abstract: Steel accounts for 6% of anthropogenic CO2 emissions, most of which arises during steelmaking rather than downstream manufacturing. While improving efficiency in steelmaking has received a great deal of attention...
