Incremental Validation

Calibration between multiple sensors is a fundamental procedure for data fusion. To address the problems of large errors and tedious operation, we present a novel method to conduct the calibration between light detection and ranging (LiDAR) and camera. We invent a calibration target, which is an arbitrary triangular pyramid with three chessboard patterns on its three planes. The target contains both 3D information and 2D information, which can be utilized to obtain intrinsic parameters of the camera and extrinsic parameters of the system. In the proposed method, the world coordinate system is established through the triangular pyramid. We extract the equations of triangular pyramid planes to find the relative transformation between two sensors. One capture of camera and LiDAR is sufficient for calibration, and errors are reduced by minimizing the distance between points and planes. Furthermore, the accuracy can be increased by more captures. We carried out experiments on simulated data with varying degrees of noise and numbers of frames. Finally, the calibration results were verified by real data through incremental validation and analyzing the root mean square error (RMSE), demonstrating that our calibration method is robust and provides state-of-the-art performance.

Abstract Background: In June 2018, the Ministry of Health received notification from 2 hospitals about 2 patients who presented with overwhelming Enterobacter kobei sepsis that developed within 24 hours after a dental procedure. We describe the investigation of this outbreak. Methods: The epidemiologic investigation included site visits in 2 dental clinics and interviews with all involved healthcare workers. Chart reviews were conducted for case and control subjects. Samples were taken from medications and antiseptics, environmental surfaces, dental water systems, and from the involved healthcare professionals. Isolate similarity was assessed using repetitive element sequence-based polymerase chain reaction (REP-PCR). Results: The 2 procedures were conducted in different dental clinics by different surgeons and dental technicians. A single anesthesiologist administered the systemic anesthetic in both cases. Cultures from medications, fluids and healthcare workers’ hands were negative, but E. kobei was detected from the anesthesiologist’s portable medication cart. The 2 human isolates and the environmental isolate shared the same REP-PCR fingerprinting profile. None of the 21 patients treated by the anesthesiologist in a general hospital during the same period, using the hospital’s medications, developed infection following surgery. Conclusions: An outbreak of post–dental-procedure sepsis was linked to a contaminated medication cart, emphasizing the importance of medication storage standards and strict aseptic technique when preparing intravenous drugs during anesthesia. Immediate reporting of sepsis following these outpatient procedures enabled early identification and termination of the outbreak.

Below Average Readers

This research was intended to investigate the difficulty experienced by retarded readers in acquiring associations between auditory and visual information. First- and second-grade above- and below-average readers ( ns = 41, 42) were presented paired-associate tasks involving: (a) simultaneous and delayed stimulus presentation, (b) visual-visual and visual-auditory stimuli, and (c) stimuli in which within-stimulus element sequence was and was not relevant in determining the associated response. Inferior paired-associate learning was noted in below-average readers, delayed-presentation tasks, and sequence-relevant tasks. No significant interactions were noted.

ABSTRACT Klebsiella pneumoniae NEM865 was isolated from the culture of a stool sample from a patient previously treated with ceftazidime (CAZ). Analysis of this strain by the disk diffusion test revealed synergies between amoxicillin-clavulanate (AMX-CA) and CAZ, AMX-CA and cefotaxime (CTX), AMX-CA and aztreonam (ATM), and more surprisingly, AMX-CA and moxalactam (MOX). Clavulanic acid (CA) decreased the MICs of CAZ, CTX, and MOX, which suggested that NEM865 produced a novel extended-spectrum β-lactamase. Genetic, restriction endonuclease, and Southern blot analyses revealed that the resistance phenotype was due to the presence in NEM865 of a 13.5-kb mobilizable plasmid, designated pNEC865, harboring a Tn3-like element. Sequence analysis revealed that the blaT gene of pNEC865 differed from bla TEM-1 by three mutations leading to the following amino acid substitutions: Glu104→Lys, Met182→Thr, and Gly238→Ser (Ambler numbering). The association of these three mutations has thus far never been described, and theblaT gene carried by pNEC865 was therefore designatedbla TEM-52. The enzymatic parameters of TEM-52 and TEM-3 were found to be very similar except for those for MOX, for which the affinity of TEM-52 (Ki , 0.16 μM) was 10-fold higher than that of TEM-3 (Ki , 1.9 μM). Allelic replacement analysis revealed that the combination of Lys104, Thr182, and Ser238 was responsible for the increase in the MICs of MOX for the TEM-52 producers.
