However, communication by verbal channels can introduce lags, is limited by human recall and attention, is repetitious, and often lacks consistent and sufficient detail. To fill this gap, the work herein describes the design of a mobile data entry system for EMTs and a desktop-based data display and messaging system for charge nurses in the ED. With the system, EMTs can enter the case type, patient details, assessment, vitals, and treatments. After the EMT sends the report, the charge nurse can accept the patient, assign a room and resources, and further message with the EMT. Design choices were based upon stakeholder analysis. Since the data and data entry required of the EMTs can be extensive, non-sequential, partially available, and case dependent, the app was designed to avoid open-field typing, employ a compact navigational strategy, dynamically generate fields adapted to the medical scenario, and switch between editing and reviewing a report in context. The design was implemented into an interactive wireframe for testing on smart phones. Usability evaluation was performed via heuristic evaluation and user scenario testing with EMTs. On average, users could complete a typical, time-sensitive case in 66 seconds, which is near theoretical estimates and current means of verbal communication now done via phone and radio.","PeriodicalId":426864,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Systems and Information Engineering Design Symposium (SIEDS)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121553430","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, in every presidential election year, stories surface of voters having to wait several hours. Long lines disrupt voters' schedules and hinder economic activity, but can also discourage voters from remaining in line to vote. One way to decrease the average and maximum voter wait times is to better prepare polling locations by staffing optimally and having enough voting booths available. Data was collected from a Williamsburg polling location in Virginia during the off-year November 2015 delegate election. Simulation analysis found that in order to have maximum wait times of less than 30 minutes in this Williamsburg precinct during a presidential election then at least 4-5 poll workers to check in voters and 12-15 voting booths or machines are needed. Data on the number of voters that arrive per hour and the amount of time it takes to check in and vote are often collected by the state or by certain polling places. A general, free version of this discrete-event simulation was created in Java. This resource allocation tool takes previous data as an input and estimates the number of voting booths and staff needed in order to keep approximately 99% of wait times less than 30 minutes. Simulation and statistical analysis are used to determine the number of resources necessary.","PeriodicalId":426864,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Systems and Information Engineering Design Symposium (SIEDS)","volume":"111 3S 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121726499","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

EDs across the country are experiencing overcrowding that exhausts resources, creates unacceptable waiting times, diminishes the quality of patient care, and increases financial costs for both the patients and medical departments. The ED at the University of Virginia (UVA) Medical Center is no exception. From 2014 to 2015, the number of patients seen at the UVA ED grew by 4%, which is expected to continue to increase annually. In response, the UVA Medical Center will construct a new \"ED Tower\" that will double the department's bed capacity, improving departmental efficiency and providing better patient care. This paper reports on a simulation study of patient flows in the UVA ED under alternative demand scenarios, staffing levels, and operating practices. Key performance measures include overall patient length of stay and arrival to provider time. A trace simulation of the current ED was conducted using data from 2014 to validate the model and this model was updated with new logic for the future ED. Our results suggest that the additional space, coupled with staffing schedule changes, will help alleviate the overcrowding problem at the UVA ED for the foreseeable future. For example, the future ED with the current staffing schedule would reduce the average arrival to provider time by 29.5% and overall average length of stay by 3.7%. By incorporating the results of our analysis with our research into best practices of process flow within EDs, we expect our recommendations to improve patient flow efficiency of the future ED and help maximize the quality of care that is delivered to patients.","PeriodicalId":426864,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Systems and Information Engineering Design Symposium (SIEDS)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129460115","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we conducted a retrospective study based on Electronic Health Records (\"EHR\") data, in order to identify patterns in the development of CKD. In particular, we used a clustering approach to quantifiably identify diabetic patients who are at risk of progressing to advanced stages of CKD. Using values from routine measurements and lab tests such as systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, body mass index (\"BMI\"), Hemoglobin A1c (\"HbAlc\"), triglycerides and high density lipid cholesterol (\"HDL cholesterol\"), patients were classified into four clusters with a distinct separation between the cluster with the best value for each lab test and a cluster with the worst value for each lab test. We used lab values from each subsequent visit to calculate a progression score using the distance to the best and worst clusters, which indicated whether a patient's health was improving or deteriorating. We believe that this approach holds promise for future tools, as it is able to provide an ordered list of patients who are at greater risk of deterioration and should benefit from intervention by healthcare providers. The conclusions made in this paper are aimed at enabling timely monitoring and earlier intervention for patients that are associated with higher possibility of CKD progression.","PeriodicalId":426864,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Systems and Information Engineering Design Symposium (SIEDS)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125682219","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While GPS technology works well in most locations, the satellite coverage necessary for this technology to function is not available in cluttered environments and inside buildings. Current technological workarounds involve high resolution image processing, which is expensive in terms of both monetary and computational cost. Our project team is working to develop an alternative localization solution for drones that uses low cost lasers and off-the-shelf components. The technique involves setting up two or more \"lighthouse\" beacons in a controlled environment. The beacons will pulse invisible infrared light from LEDs and sweep vertical sheets of infrared lasers around the environment. Photodiodes installed on the UGV will respond to these light sources and pass this information to a processor. Based on the timing of the diode response, the angle between the lighthouse and the diodes can be determined. When combined with ultrasonic altitude data, these angles can be processed to determine the location of the diodes and subsequently the location and orientation of the UGV. The accuracy and precision of the final lighthouse system will be assessed to determine its usefulness for localizing drones in a controlled environment. The end goal of the technical project is to design a system that will facilitate the automated driving of a UGV based on localization data from the lighthouse system while being scalable for future implementation in 3D applications.","PeriodicalId":426864,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Systems and Information Engineering Design Symposium (SIEDS)","volume":"1617 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127447586","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Consulting firms are expected to not only use their client's data but also to leverage open source data and data from other firms that can help address the clients' needs. Manually reviewing the relevance of a dataset to a given problem is time intensive and prone to error. Additionally, it is near impossible to detect non-intuitive correlations in the data through manual review. Hence, this project focuses on building an application that enables users to automatically find and assess the applicability of datasets to a given problem. Given that the project objectives are to increase the applicability of individual datasets, to increase the applicability of clusters of correlated datasets, and to increase the usability of individual datasets, three metrics were derived respectively. They are relevance, coverage, and quality of data. The application, known as UVa Open Miner, measures the relevance of the dataset to the client problem, the degree to which a group of datasets covers different dimensions of a client problem, and the quality of the dataset. The application can be refactored into a reusable solution that consulting firms can use for their client work.","PeriodicalId":426864,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Systems and Information Engineering Design Symposium (SIEDS)","volume":"43 16","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120967927","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The current international goal that this research has set as a target is to remain below two degrees Celsius above preindustrial temperatures. With the lack of political will in addressing global warming, an initiative must be made to stabilize the global temperatures and sea level. Sulfur dioxide has been considered as it has proven to reduce the global temperatures when released through volcanic eruptions such as in the case of Mount Pinatubo. The sulfur dioxide in the atmosphere will create a reflectivity of the sunlight and prevent a percentage of the warmth from affecting the Earth's surface temperatures, modifying the Earth's albedo. To give a recommended amount of sulfur dioxide, simulations of injections of varying amounts were run to see the effects on global average temperature and sea level. This determines the necessary negative radiative forcing needed by sulfur dioxide to not only gradually reduce the current trend of the rising temperatures but to stabilize it to meet the target. The model results in this research indicate that the only way to achieve long-term stabilization is to both inject sulfuric aerosols into the stratosphere and regulate carbon dioxide emissions on an international level. This paper will outline the specific proposed method and amount of injections as well as a recommended demonstration and evaluation method to allow for a better understanding of how this system will behave if ever implemented.","PeriodicalId":426864,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Systems and Information Engineering Design Symposium (SIEDS)","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122489650","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Herein, we describe the design of an innovative solution to water scarcity in regions with medium to high humidity - Atmospheric Water Generators (AWG). This device converts water vapor into liquid water and is designed for agricultural and irrigation purposes in regions where water scarcity exists. More specifically, two AWG concepts were developed by our team, one utilizing Peltier devices and the other a heat exchanger, in order to allow multiple design alternatives to be considered. The Peltier-based concept works by applying current to induce a temperature gradient in order to cool and condense the surrounding air. The heat exchanger concept works by cycling a coolant that is cooled by a lower ground temperature. Both AWG concepts were designed utilizing sustainable engineering principles to minimize energy consumption and cost (particularly when compared to AWGs currently on the market). The designs are estimated to create enough water daily to grow 2 fruit trees (1 gallon a week) at an example test condition of 60% relative humidity and 85°F.","PeriodicalId":426864,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Systems and Information Engineering Design Symposium (SIEDS)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116723398","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The number of incidents has been increasing in recent years and, unfortunately, scalable and accurate systems to predict which groups are likely to engage in such actions are not keeping pace. Additionally, this problem is compounded by lingual and cultural differences, which limit the effectiveness of understanding how tolerant or intolerant a group is without bias. To circumvent this challenge, recent studies indicate promise in the analysis of the performative character of discourse (how words are used) to estimate the tolerance level, rather than using the semantic or emotive character of text (what the words mean or imply). Using expert estimates of linguistic flexibility, a representation of the performative character of text, and thus also predictive of a text's tolerance level, this paper describes (a) new approaches to automating the quantification of the performative character of words and (b) the predictive efficacy of these approaches versus traditional semantic indicators of tolerance or intolerance. To implement the pipeline, a judgment identifier was developed along with multiple semantic density algorithms to extract the frequency of judgments and flexibility of keyword contexts, respectively. Test results show that text mining algorithms can accurately estimate the language flexibility of religious discourse. These results provide evidence that the performative characteristics of language better predict tolerance level than the semantic characteristics of language.","PeriodicalId":426864,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Systems and Information Engineering Design Symposium (SIEDS)","volume":"107 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134502594","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
