Human-machine interaction for unmanned surface systems
No full textThis research investigated the human-machine interaction (HMI) technologies for human-robot teams operating as unmanned surface systems (USS). An pilot role was found to be the most prevalent in the USS-related literature but additional human roles were determined to likely be necessary (e.g., Mission Specialist} though were not documented; interface needs have not yet been determined for any role. The human interfaces used by 67 Micro and Small X, Intermediate, Harbor, Fleet, and E,F,G-Class platforms were examined and it was determined that: i) the research literature does not well characterize the human roles present in unmanned surface systems, ii) domain complexity may necessitate increased automation of the robot platform for the human team, and iii) that unmanned surface vehicles likely lay on the human-machine interaction spectrum between unmanned ground vehicles and unmanned aerial vehicles. This work is expected to serve as a reference for future design and refinement of human interfaces for USSs and as a foundation for better understanding HMI in USSs.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2017-05-01The student, Saki Handa, accepted the attached license on 2015-04-17 at 15:34.The student, Saki Handa, submitted this Thesis for approval on 2015-04-17 at 15:43.This Thesis was approved for publication on 2015-04-20 at 08:26.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #7928 on 2015-07-22 at 14:25:21Made available in DSpace on 2015-07-22T22:45:31Z (GMT).

Contrast Nephropathy Associated with Percutaneous Coronary Angiography and Intervention
No full textContrast nephropathy (CN) is acute kidney injury (AKI) that occurs within 24 to 72 hours of iodinated contrast medium (ICM) administration. Mechanisms of CN include hyperviscosity, free radical formation, and renal medullary oxygen supply/demand mismatch. Although risk factors for CN have been identified, it remains uncertain whether ICM causes or is simply associated with AKI. The cornerstones of CN prevention are using low-osmolal ICM, intravenous hydration, and statins, especially in patients with chronic kidney disease. With appropriate CN risk mitigation, coronary angiography and intervention should not be routinely withheld from patients with acute coronary syndromes
Separation between a mother and child: The observer’s role as a container
No full textThe author describes the process of separation between a mother and her baby in an infant observation. Initially, the observer had a picture of a peaceful mother-and-baby couple, in which he was perceived as a potential intruder. However, the baby’s growing ego and interest in the observer confronted the mother with the presence of three during the observation hour, which seemed to lead her at times to resort to overexcitement to ward off difficult feelings related to separation and the threesome. When the mother went back to work, the struggle with separation became more evident. Overexcitement seemed to be the dominant way of dealing with the pain of separation. When these defences failed, the observer felt that he was the witness to and bearer of the pain. The author discusses the role of the observer in this observation as a container for the painful emotions which the mother and the baby seemed often unable to bear. The author suggests that the observer, as a container, might have been of use to the baby, and explores the observer’s difficulty in bearing the primitive and infantile emotions stirred up within him which provoked a wish for premature, intellectual understanding
A fragmented doll: Madness in hysteria
No full textThe author describes the process of a once‐weekly psychodynamic psychotherapy with a hysterical patient. In the initial phase, the patient responded well and there was a sense of progress in the therapy. However, the author gradually began to feel stuck. He was under strong pressure to act as a good understanding therapist. At a later stage, the patient complained of severe physical pain and demanded cure. When she was absent from the treatment without notice, her fear of death and madness which had been denied so far was massively projected into the author who was overtaken by the fear of her death. It became clear that in her phantasy, the patient was a princess waiting to be rescued by her White Knight/therapist. However, to understand the transference situation fully, it was necessary for the author to acknowledge and relinquish his narcissistic satisfaction in being an omnipotent rescuer. The author argues that the difficulty in this process reflected her desperate need for an omnipotent illusion to hold herself, in which the author acted a part. He finally states the importance of acknowledging the underlying fragmentation in hysteria which is often hidden behind the façade of ostensible integrity
SAPHO Syndrome Masquerading as Metastatic Breast Cancer
No full textSAPHO syndrome is a rare clinical entity composed of synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, and osteitis (SAPHO). We describe a case of SAPHO syndrome masquerading as metastatic breast cancer in a patient with localized breast cancer who presented with cord compression. There was no pathologic evidence of metastatic cancer; however, a bone scan indicated osseous involvement. After multidisciplinary review of images and with additional findings of pustulosis and acne, a clinical diagnosis of SAPHO was made
