[1] We investigate experimentally the functional relationship between capillary pressure, Pc, wetting phase saturation, Sw, and interfacial area per volume between the wetting and nonwetting phases, awn, for drainage and imbibition processes in micromodels of twodimensional pore structures. Within the experimental and analysis error (around 10–15%), the resulting Pc-Sw-awn surfaces were the sam...

The purpose of this integrative review is to explore the presence of the oncology nurse as navigator on measurable patient outcomes. Eighteen primary nursing research studies were found using combinations of the following key words: advocate, cancer, case manager, coach, certification, guide, navigator, nurse, oncology, patient navigator, pivot nurse, and continuity of care. Nurse researchers i...

The purpose of the Oncology Nursing Society (ONS) Oncology Nurse Navigator Role Delineation Study was to examine the job-function activities of the oncology nurse navigator, thus providing an understanding of this unique role. The Role Delineation Advisory Committee consisting mainly of oncology nurse navigators was formed to provide content expertise to Applied Measurement Professionals, which...

A common problem in clinical MRI is anatomic misalignment of imaging slices across successive examinations. This unnecessarily complicates the radiologic assessment of anatomic change over time on serial MRI studies. To address this problem, spherical navigator echoes, which can detect rigid body motion in all six degrees of freedom, were used to guide spatial location and orientation adjustmen...

Navigator echoes (NAVs) provide an effective means of monitoring physiological motion in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Motion artifacts can be suppressed by adjusting the data acquisition accordingly. The standard pencil-beam NAV has been used to detect diaphragm motion; however, it does not monitor cardiac motion effectively. Here we report a navigator approach that directly measures coron...

The Star Resource Navigator is an ontology based tool to visualize, navigate and search web distributed RDF resources. Resources and their connections are graphically represented as a star connected graph with labels indicating the existing relations. The Navigator has been tested in different application domains, coded by means of different ontologies. Because of its intuitive and easy to use ...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to compare the numerical and clinical accuracy of four continuous glucose monitors (CGMs): Guardian, DexCom, Navigator, and Glucoday. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Accuracy data for the four CGMs were collected in two studies: Study 1 enrolled 14 adults with type 1 diabetes at the University of Virginia (UVA), Charlottesville, Virginia; study 2 enrolled 2...

In this paper, we propose and investigate a new model for robot navigation in large unstructured environments. Current models, which depend on metric information, have to deal with inherent mechanical and sensory errors. Instead we supply the navigator with qualitative information. Our model consists of two parts, a map-maker and a navigator. Given a source and a goal, the map-maker derives a n...

A real time navigating system, called Destination Driven Navigator, is developed. This paper presents a new obstacle representation method named Cross-Line, a new concept “work space” to reduce the robot’s search space and the environment storage cost, an Adapted Regression Model to predict the dynamic obstacles’ motion, and the Multi-State Path Repair rules to quickly translate an infeasible p...
