Separate Files Research Articles

Automated Google Scholar Crawling with a Web-Based Tool for Publication Data Management

Here’s the revised abstract in English: The rapid growth of academic publications requires efficient tools for publication data extraction and management, especially from widely used platforms like Google Scholar. To address this need, an automated web-based tool was developed, designed to simplify the processes of data crawling, extraction, and publication data management, allowing researchers to handle large volumes of academic publications more effectively. The tool supports both simple and detailed crawling modes, enabling users to input multiple Google Scholar URLs and neatly organize the extracted data into CSV files. For multiple URLs, the data is compiled into a ZIP file containing separate CSV files for each source, ensuring organized and accessible publication data management. The tool was tested with various dataset sizes. When processing 41 entries, the simple mode completed extraction in 9.054 seconds, while the detailed mode took 71.898 seconds. For smaller datasets of 5 entries, the simple mode executed in 3.283 seconds, while the detailed mode required 11.908 seconds. These results indicate that the tool is efficient and performs well with both small and large datasets. The differences in execution time between the simple and detailed modes offer users flexibility in balancing speed and depth of data extraction according to their research needs. This web-based tool not only automates the data extraction process from Google Scholar but also enhances the organization and accessibility of publication data, making it an asset for researchers and institutions in managing publication data.

The Effect of Different Separated File Retrieval Strategies on the Biomechanical Behavior of a Mandibular Molar: A Finite Element Analysis Study

IntroductionThis study evaluated the effects of retrieval strategies of separated nickel-titanium files on the biomechanical behavior of endodontically treated teeth by finite element analysis. MethodsSix FE models were created: intact tooth; simulated a scenario where the apical 3 mm of a nickel-titanium file is separated and retained; TD, simulated application of a trephine drill to expose 1 mm of the separated file; simulated troughing of 180° at the inner wall of root canal for an extra 1 mm of the separated file beyond the staging platform; simulated circumferential ultrasonic troughing done for an extra 1 mm after the TD; and PM, simulated iatrogenic perforation sealed using MTA. Occlusal loading followed the occlusal fingerprint of the tooth before maximum von Mises stresses, maximum principal stresses, safety factor, and number of cycles till failure were determined. The cervical region of the teeth and mid-root sections including the separated file was chosen as the areas of interest for further analysis. ResultsIntact tooth recorded the highest number of cycles till failure and safety factor. Other models showed a narrow range of variation in all aspects with the PM recording the lowest number of cycles till failure. The highest von Mises stress was recorded at the mesiobuccal line angle of the PM near its cervical margin, while the lowest was found at the intact tooth. ConclusionUnder the limitation of this study, various file retrieval strategies removing the surrounding root dentin within the amounts of general guidelines do not affect the biomechanical behavior of the tooth.

Silver Fast Track – Prioritising People Over 75 in the Emergency Department (ED)

Abstract Background The National Emergency Medicine Programme prioritised the care of older adults in a three-year Unscheduled Care Improvement Programme, coinciding with the “Integrated NCAGL Acute Operations and Older Persons body of work on Older Adults with Frailty in Acute hospitals”. In May 2023 a three-month pilot in the ED commenced to reduce the time for people over the age of 75 awaiting assessment by a doctor. Using the Manchester Triage system, a separate filing box on triage (Category 3+) was created to identify all people aged over 75 years who would then be prioritised to be seen within 4 hours of arrival. In addition, if a person aged over 75 years was waiting over 4 hours to be seen they would be re-triaged and seen within 15 minutes (Category 2). Methods A Prospective analysis of waiting times for people aged over 75 years, assessing: (1) time to be assessed by the Older Persons Assessment and Liaison (OPAL) Team; (2) time to see the ED doctor and (3) time to discharge. Results Four months prior to commencement, the median time from arrival to be seen by OPAL was 10 hours 58 mins. Following commencement, for the remainder of 2023, the median time from arrival to seen by OPAL was 6 hours 36 mins. The time to see the doctor reduced by 49 mins and time to discharge reduced by 1 hour 19 minutes. Conclusion The category 3+ for patients aged over 75 years is now an established feature in the ED. It has enabled the OPAL team to undertake earlier assessment of the patients journey alongside the medical team ensuring a more collaborative discharge pathway. In the future, we hope to further reduce the time to be assessed by OPAL through the introduction of clinical frailty scoring at ED triage & expanding the team.

A Software Tool for the True Height Analysis of Ionograms Using the Iterative Gradient Correction (IGC) Method

AbstractDeriving the precise true height electron density profile from the measured ionosonde virtual heights is quite a challenging problem. Recently, Ankita and Tulasi Ram (2023, https://doi.org/10.1029/2023RS007808) presented a new method, Iterative Gradient Correction (IGC) method, for true height analysis that uses HF radio wave propagation path computations to reconstruct the true height profile. Through iterative corrections on electron density gradients between successive points, the IGC method minimizes errors below a specified tolerance at each point and reconstructs a complete electron density profile. The derived profiles from the IGC method are found to be accurate when compared with Incoherent Scatter Radar and Global Navigation Satellite System—Radio Occultation observations. To facilitate true height analysis by IGC method for a wider user community, a MATLAB‐based software has been developed and is outlined in this report. The software can be installed on any Windows platform and is designed with a user‐friendly interface for easy and efficient application by the users. It can analyze multiple scaled ionograms in a single run and outputs the real height profiles in ASCII format. Further, the software also captures important ionospheric parameters such as the base altitudes and peak frequencies of E‐ and F‐layers (e.g., hE, hF, foE, and foF2) etc., from the computed true height profiles and tabulates in a separate output file for the ready use. The software also provides the option for extrapolation of true height profile into top‐side ionosphere up to a user‐specified height and reconstructs the complete vertical electron density profile.

A possible reconciliation between exergy analysis, thermo-economics and the resource cost of externalities

Goal of this paper is to highlight and place in a comprehensive historical perspective the consequential continuity between the first attempts to link the concept of monetary cost to thermodynamic principles and the latest developments that led to exergy-based cost indicators and Sustainability numeraires.This is an orientation paper, and a conscious effort was made to avoid presenting the advancements in the economic-thermodynamic paradigms by simply listing them in their chronological order: whenever possible, and on the basis of well-documented references, a “conceptual tree” is discussed that originates with the introduction of the exergy concept (the roots), grows through a trunk (cost formation theory, Techno-Economics) and main branches (Thermo-Economics, Cumulative Exergy Consumption …) and terminates with the latest exergy-based cost theories.In Section 2 a brief recap of the concept of “cost” is provided, to clarify the different physical bases and proxies adopted in different approaches. Sections 3 and 4 contain a brief historical outline of the path that led from the recognition that exergy is a proper valuation index for energy to the initial critique to Techno-Economics and to the formulation of Monetary Thermo-Economics and to some of its initial developments. Techno-Economics, Thermo-Economics (both monetary and purely exergy-based), and other paradigms that postulated a quantifiable correlation between exergy and production cost are discussed in sections 6 through 10. Every effort has been made to provide the most relevant references for each conceptual and practical statement reported in the paper: as a result, the Reference list has grown beyond the Journal page limit, and it is available as a separate file in the Additional Material.

Retrieval of Separated Endodontic Instrument

Endodontic instrument fracture is a procedural error that creates a significant barrier to routine root canal therapy. A separated instrument results in insufficient cleaning and shaping of the root canals. Inadequate biomechanical preparation has an impact on the result and outcome of root canal treatment. Therefore, retrieval of separated instruments should be considered important. There are many instrument retrieval kits and techniques available for this purpose. In this case report, a separated rotary file was successfully retrieved using a Masserann kit .

GLocal: A global development dataset of subnational administrative areas

The purpose of the GLocal dataset is to enable research in international development that requires both global scope and local precision. Leveraging modern geospatial analysis tools, we process a diverse array of sources to provide researchers with a growing set of economic, demographic, ecological and socio-political variables for geographic units relevant to public policy. We provide separate data files for different levels of administrative and periodic aggregation, along with ad-hoc files with more detailed information on specific topics. In this data descriptor paper, we discuss both our data processing methodologies and validation pipelines, and provide a short case study to illustrate the research potential of the dataset. We also introduce a simple web app, glocal.streamlit.app, which offers a user-friendly interface for exploring and visualizing the dataset. Given the growing number of public and granular sources of relevance for international development research, we hope to continue adding features and expand the GLocal dataset in the future.

The Billboard Melodic Music Dataset (BiMMuDa)

We introduce the Billboard Melodic Music Dataset (BiMMuDa), which contains the lead vocal melodies of the top five songs of each year from 1950 to 2022 according to the Billboard year-end singles charts. In this article, the dataset’s compilation process and attributes are described in detail. The melody from each of the 371 songs was transcribed manually in full to create 371 MIDI (musical instrument digital interface) files, and then melodies from the songs’ different sections (e.g., verses, choruses) were exported into separate files to create an additional 1,133 MIDI files of shorter melodies. Lyrics to the songs are provided separately from the melodic transcriptions. This report includes comprehensive descriptions and graphical representations of the available metadata per song and per melody. Analysis of verse and chorus melodies revealed structural differences between them: chorus melodies have significantly fewer notes and lower note density, but larger melodic intervals on average. Whether added to existing datasets or used as a complete dataset, BiMMuDa can serve as ground truth data for a variety of MIR tasks as well as provide insight into the study of Western pop melody.

Empirical model for a three-dimensional dose verification system and its application in volumetric-modulated arc therapy for heterogeneous and long-target tumors

PurposeTo perform commissioning of the VMAT dose verification system 3DVH from a unique perspective and investigating its clinical applications in unreported cases with heterogeneous organs or long-target tumors. MethodsInitially, the standard ArcCheck calibration process was conducted. Then, the impact of absolute dose calibration values and ArcCheck CT density settings on the accuracy of the 3DVH reconstruction model was assessed. Subsequently, ten lung cancer cases with heterogeneous organ-encased targets and ten cervical cancer cases with large target volumes were selected to receive VMAT treatment with a TrueBeam Linac. Finally, the performance of the 3DVH method in such radiotherapy validations was assessed. ResultsVarious calibration files had distinct impacts on ArcCheck 2D surface dosimetry and 3DVH dose reconstruction, thus requiring separate optimal calibrations files for these two purposes. The 3DVH dose reconstruction mode exhibited the highest accuracy when using the optimal ArcCheck density value of 1.1787 g/cm³ and an absolute dose calibration value of 249.96 cGy. In all test cases, deviations for target Dmean and D95% were within ±4.2% compared to the planned dose, with notable variations in critical organ doses. In structure-based 3D gamma evaluation, differences were observed compared to existing reports. ConclusionsIt's crucial to account for the ArcCheck array calibration and the interplay between CT density settings and absolute dose calibration values to identify the best combination for an optimal 3DVH dose reconstruction model. The performance of 3DVH in verifying VMAT doses for tumors in heterogeneous or longer target areas may exhibit slight variations compared to other regions.

Оценка развития опасных склоновых процессов и явлений в районе проектирования и строительства всесезонного туристско-рекреационного комплекса «Мамисон»

This paper presents the ortho-photomap we created of the territory of the all-season tourist and recreational complex “Mamison” (ATRC “Mamison”) using the example of the Kozy-Don gorge, which was obtained using a DJI Mavic Air 2 unmanned aerial vehicle. The compiled ortho-photomap of the Kozy-Don gorge quite fully displays the terrain, which made it possible to create a DTM (digital terrain model) with a given image scale. Using DTM, areas of development of dangerous slope processes, such as avalanches, mudflows, etc., were identified. The data obtained with the help of UAVs are already being used for the research and development of mountainous areas, and are also taken into account in the design and construction of national economic facilities of the Mamison ATRC. Materials and methods. In this work, the creation of an ortho-photomap of the Mamison territory is shown using the example of the Kozy-Don gorge, where mudflow and avalanche activity is widespread. During the field work, aerial photography of the gorge’s relief was taken for further image processing in the Agisoft Metashape Professional software package. Results. About 1000 photographs were taken, of which 952 were aligned. Based on the aligned photographs, more than 551 thousand tie points were automatically constructed, reflecting relief characteristics. Based on the aligned photographs, more than 551 thousand tie points were constructed, reflecting relief characteristics. A denser cloud of points was built to clarify the characteristics of the relief; as a result of processing, a clearer relief model was obtained. Based on a dense point cloud, a digital model of the study area was built, with the relative heights of the Kozy-Don gorge. Using the resulting DTM, a map of average relief slopes was constructed, which was necessary to determine avalanche danger zones. Also, based on the DTM, an ortho mosaic was built for the territory of the Kozy-Don gorge. Discussion. During the field work, the Kozy-Don gorge was examined on the territory of the All-Russian Technical Complex. Aerial photography of the gorge’s relief was taken for further image processing in the Agisoft Metashape Professional software package. 194 photographs were taken. The photo database was created using the standard shooting equipment of the DJI Mavic Air 2 unmanned aerial vehicle. Based on the results of photo processing using software, an orthomosaic map was constructed for the territory of the Kozy-Don gorge of the Mamison ATRC. Conclusions. The created ortho-photomap of the Kozy-Don if ATRC “Mamison” quite fully reflects the topography of the study area. It allows you to select individual areas in the form of a 3-model with a given image scale. Resume. Based on aerial photography, a digital terrain model with relative heights is built. It allows you to select and form, in the form of a separate file, areas of development of dangerous slope processes – avalanches, mudflows, landslides. Suggestions for practical applications and directions for future research. The research results obtained using an unmanned aerial vehicle can be useful in the exploration and development of mountainous areas, especially where the terrain is difficult to pass and where stationary research is not conducted.

Comparative evaluation of increase in temperature on the external root surface of teeth during retrieval of broken NiTi instrument using two ultrasonic tips and two power settings: An in vitro study.

An unfavorable event that can hinder endodontic treatment and affect the outcome of root canal treatment is the separation of endodontic instruments. Endodontic instrument separation can occur due to clinical or metallurgical factors. Friction between the ultrasonic tip and the remaining dentin generates heat, which is subsequently transferred to the external root surface. Elevated temperatures exceeding 10°C above body temperature for more than a minute may result in injury to periodontal or bone tissue. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare temperature rise on the external root surface of teeth during retrieval of broken NiTi instrument using two different ultrasonic tips and two power settings. In each group, a sample size of 8 was sufficient to attain a statistical power exceeding 90%, enabling the detection of a minimum mean difference of 0.9204 (delta) through a one-way ANOVA test at a 95% confidence level (alpha 0.05). After access opening and working length determination, samples were randomly distributed into two groups - Group 1 (A and B) - ProUltra tip at high and low power settings and Group 2 (A and B) - Cric Dental IR3 at high and low power settings. The temperature rise was measured using K-type thermocouple thermometer. The comparisons were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis test with pairwise comparisons using the Dunn's test. Group 1A and Group 1B resulted in lower heat generation compared to Group 2A and 2B and its difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Minimum temperature rise is seen in the ProUltra group at lower power settings (Group 1A) at the apical level and maximum temperature rise is seen in the Cric Dental IR3 group at higher power settings (Group 2B) at the middle third level. It was found that there is a significant temperature rise seen when ultrasonic tips are used for the retrieval of separated files, especially at higher power settings. The ProUltra tip demonstrated the lowest temperature rise at lower power settings, particularly at the apical level, whereas the IR3 Cric Dental tip exhibited the highest temperature rise, notably at higher power settings and the middle third level.

Implementation and testing of single point positioning on IRNSS/NavIC receiver data

SummaryIndia has developed its own regional navigation satellite system called the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS), also known as Navigation with Indian Constellation (NavIC). IRNSS/NavIC provides standard positioning and timing services for civilians and restricted services for authorized users. In this paper, single point positioning is implemented on the NavIC receiver data. Estimation techniques of the least squares method and extended Kalman filter are implemented after applying broadcast‐based clock corrections, orbit computation, relative time correction, and ionosphere delay correction for single and dual frequency. A data extraction and storage module is developed to store computed parameters at every intermediate stage in separate files. This is followed by an error plotter module to plot the extracted parameters for each satellite and to separately analyze their performance and the obtained errors. The estimated receiver position is visualized on Google Earth. The absolute error in both estimation techniques ranges between 5 and 15 m throughout the period.

MTVE: Magdeburg tool for video experiments

AbstractMTVE is an open-source software tool (citeware) that can be applied in laboratory and online experiments to implement video communication. The tool enables researchers to gather video data from these experiments in a way that these videos can be later used for automatic analysis through machine learning techniques. The browser-based tool comes with an easy user interface and can be easily integrated into z-Tree, oTree (and other experimental or survey tools). It provides the experimenters control over several communication parameters (e.g., number of participants, resolution), produces high-quality video data, and circumvents the Cocktail Party Problem (i.e., the problem of separating speakers solely based on audio input) by producing separate files. Using some of the recommended Voice-to-Text AI, the experimenters can transcribe individual files. MTVE can merge these individual transcriptions into one conversation.

Declarative Inversion of Control Configuration in Modern .NET8 Applications

As software systems continue to evolve in complexity and scale, the importance of adopting componentbased architectural paradigms becomes increasingly evident. Inversion of Control (IoC) and Dependency Injection (DI) patterns play important role in managing OO-components dependencies, reduce coupling and enable seamless integration of components. This article explores the theoretical foundations of IoC and DI, shedding light on their practical implementation in modern .NET applications.Standard .NET DI-container has a number of technical limitations: properties injection is not supported, dependencies definitions from keyed services partially breaks IoC principle, and finally lack of declarative way to define components and their dependencies. To address these limitations, it is proposed to implement a special extension for standard DI-container in the form of a component factory. This factory would register components within the container and define their dependencies based on declarative configuration. The configuration can be stored either in a standard (for .NET Core apps) appsettings.json file or loaded from a separate JSON file. In fact, this JSON could be even dynamically generated in specific usage scenarios.The capability to use a declarative configuration for standard DI-container opens up broad possibilities for generative programming. It becomes technically feasible to implement a model-driven development, particularly an approach that leverages the DI-container configuration as the final (execution) model in a chain of transformations of domain-specific models.Modern .NET8 platform assumes that software is assembled from libraries of pre-existing components that are hosted in a standard DI-container that provides suitable runtime environment for them. Practical aspects of applying the Inversion of Control pattern are examined, considering the use of a standard Dependency Injection (DI) container implementation. Existing technological limitations are defined, and a solution is proposed: implementation of declarative configuration of dependencies between components. This approach contributes to a reduced level of coupling between components and facilitates the decomposition of the program into more granular and abstract components – which increases their reusability in consequence.

An iterative approach for deriving and solving an accurate regression equation

ABSTRACT This paper introduces a method for deriving an accurate regression equation based on a set of any paired data, and a technique for solving the equation. For a practical example, we used five hundred seventy-one pairs of sediment concentration and river flow data to derive an accurate sediment rating equation. The graphs of the measured and predicted sediment concentrations matched each other, and data correlation showed Nash–Sutcliffe efficiency (NSE) of 0.9999860, coefficient of determination ( R 2 ) of 0.99998679, root mean square error (RMSE) of 0.0345, mean average error (MAE) of 0.0067, volume error (VE) of 1, and sum of square error (SSE) of 0.678631. To explain the technique of deriving and solving the accurate regression equation, separate files of video presentation and excel spreadsheet are provided as supplementary materials. In general, the method can be used to model any processes, and any calibration and validation processes can be addressed.

Assessing the reliability of paleomagnetic datasets using the R package PmagDiR

Paleomagnetism is the most important source of information for determining the position of tectonic plates in the geological past. Over the last few decades significant advancements have been made in improving the reliability of paleomagnetic data, ranging from analytical methods to statistical assessments. Here I present the first version of PmagDiR, an R-based open-source package which displays, assesses the reliability, and, when possible, corrects given paleomagnetic directions distributions. The main functions of the package are to: plot paleomagnetic directions, their averages and confidence boundaries; apply different direction cut-offs to identify and filter outliers; perform a test for antipodality; compare the distribution shape with the one predicted by a widely accepted paleosecular variation model; correct flawed distributions for paleomagnetic inclination flattening; and correct for strain-derived paleomagnetic directions deviations when the strain fabric is known. Furthermore, directions can be converted in virtual geomagnetic poles and plotted on a spherical projection for comparison with reference apparent polar wander paths. All main functions of the PmagDiR package return results as comma separated value text files as well as vector graphic files (pdf), optimized for publication purpose with minimal manipulation.

Aplikasi Pencatatan Keuangan Berbasis Website Dengan Metode Rapid Application Development Pada PT Samsriwi Adi Megah

In an increasingly competitive and rapidly changing business world, keeping company finances organized and transparent is key to success. The website-based financial recording application comes as a modern solution that provides convenience and efficiency in managing the Company's finances. PT Samsriwi Adi Megah is one of the garment companies. It was found that financial record management still relies on the Microsoft Office Excel application so that it experiences searching for data within a certain period of time. This is because financial data is stored in many Excel worksheets or separate files. To overcome these problems, companies need to develop a website-based financial recording application with the rapid application development method. With an integrated system, the Company can accelerate the data processing process, facilitate report making and improve the right decision making. The application of financial recording applications can improve the efficiency of PT Samsriwi Adi Megah's financial data processing and provide accurate and fast information.

Does it always necessitate retrieving files? Management of separated files using the bypass method: Report of two cases

Abstract Fractured instruments, particularly endodontic files, are a frequent issue encountered in everyday dental practice. There are two main methods for handling a separated instrument: bypassing and retrieval. A broken file obstructs the canal, hindering the cleaning and shaping procedure, during which clinicians typically attempt to recover the file. However, when trying to eliminate the separated file, there are multiple challenges that can decrease the probability of future success and lead to clinical failure. Thus, bypassing the separated instrument is frequently the prudent and minimally intrusive approach. This case report discusses the management of separated instruments utilizing the bypass method, which has been shown to be a conservative strategy.

PresQ: Discovery of Multidimensional Equally-Distributed Dependencies via Quasi-Cliques on Hypergraphs

Cross-matching data stored on separate files is an everyday activity in the scientific domain. However, sometimes the relation between attributes may not be obvious. The discovery of foreign keys on relational databases is a similar problem. Thus techniques devised for this problem can be adapted. Nonetheless, when the data is numeric and subject to uncertainty, this adaptation is not trivial. This paper firstly introduces the concept of <i>Equally-Distributed Dependencies</i>, which is similar to the <i>Inclusion Dependencies</i> from the relational domain. We describe a correspondence in order to bridge existing ideas. We then propose <small>PresQ</small>: a new algorithm based on the search of maximal quasi-cliques on hyper-graphs to make it more robust to the nature of uncertain numerical data. This algorithm has been tested on seven public datasets, showing promising results both in its capacity to find multidimensional equally-distributed sets of attributes and in run-time.

Framework for custom event sample augmentations for ATLAS analysis data

For HEP event processing, data is typically stored in column-wise synchronized containers, such as most prominently ROOT’s TTree, which have been used for several decades to store by now over 1 exabyte. These containers can combine row-wise association capabilities needed by most HEP event processing frameworks (e.g. Athena for ATLAS) with column-wise storage, which typically results in better compression and more efficient support for many analysis use-cases. One disadvantage is that these containers, TTree in the HEP use-case, require to contain the same attributes for each entry/row (representing events), which can make extending the list of attributes very costly in storage, even if those are only required for a small subsample of events. Since the initial design, the ATLAS software framework features powerful navigational infrastructure to allow storing custom data extensions for subsamples of events in separate, but synchronized containers. This allows adding event augmentations to ATLAS standard data products (such as DAOD-PHYS or PHYSLITE) avoiding duplication of those core data products, while limiting their size increase. For this functionality, the framework does not rely on any associations made by the I/O technology (i.e. ROOT), however it supports TTree friends and builds the associated index to allow for analysis outside of the ATLAS framework. A prototype based on the Long-Lived Particle search is implemented and preliminary results with this prototype will be presented. At this point, augmented data are stored within the same file as the core data. Storing them in separate files will be investigated in future, as this could provide more flexibility, e.g. certain sites may only want a subset of several augmentations or augmentations can be archived to tape once their analysis is complete.
