Fast methods for training Gaussian processes
No full textThis submission includes a simplified version of some code we have been developing for fast training of Gaussian processes. We also include a sample data set, which is NOAA tidal data from Woods Hole in the US, downloaded from http://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/ .
The code and data included here were used to produce the numerical results in the following paper:

Design of Lost Fast-Ion Probe Based on Thin Faraday Films in Heliotron J
No full textA lost fast-ion probe based on thin Faraday films (FLIP) is designed to measure fast-ion losses caused by fast-ion-driven MHD modes as well as magnetic field ripples in Heliotron J. The FLIP works as a magnetic spectrometer providing the energy and pitch angle of lost fast-ions. The installation location of FLIP is studied using Lorentz orbit code. Upper port of Heliotron J at the corner section is a primary target to install the FLIP, because not only co-going fast ions but also counter-going fast ions will be detected at this position. The FLIP will give the decisive information to study fast-ion losses in Heliotron J.journal articl
Risk factor analysis for fast track protocol failure
No full textBackground: The introduction of fast-track treatment procedures following cardiac surgery has significantly shortened hospitalisation times in intensive care units (ICU). Readmission to intensive care units is generally considered a negative quality criterion. The aim of this retrospective study is to statistically analyse risk factors and predictors for re-admission to the ICU after a fast-track patient management program.
Methods: 229 operated patients (67 ± 11 years, 75% male, BMI 27 ± 3, 6/2010-5/2011) with use of extracorporeal circulation (70 ± 31 min aortic crossclamping, CABG 62%) were selected for a preoperative fast-track procedure (transfer on the day of surgery to an intermediate care (IMC) unit, stable circulatory conditions, extubated). A uni- and multivariate analysis were performed to identify independent predictors for re-admission to the ICU.
Results: Over the 11-month study period, 36% of all preoperatively declared fast-track patients could not be transferred to an IMC unit on the day of surgery (n = 77) or had to be readmitted to the ICU after the first postoperative day (n = 4). Readmission or ICU stay signifies a dramatic worsening of the patient outcome (mortality 0/10%, mean hospital stay 10.3 ± 2.5/16.5 ± 16.3, mean transfusion rate 1.4 ± 1,7/5.3 ± 9.1). Predicators for failure of the fast-track procedure are a preoperative ASA class > 3, NYHA class > III and an operation time >267 min ± 74. The significant risk factors for a major postoperative event (= low cardiac output and/or mortality and/or renal failure and/or re-thoracotomy and/or septic shock and/or wound healing disturbances and/or stroke) are a poor EF (OR 2.7 CI 95% 0.98-7.6) and the described ICU readmission (OR 0.14 CI95% 0.05-0.36).
Conclusion: Re-admission to the ICU or failure to transfer patients to the IMC is associated with a high loss of patient outcome. The ASA > 3, NYHA class > 3 and operation time >267 minutes are independent predictors of fast track protocol failure
