Health assessment of the girder is crucial to an overhead traveling crane. This paper presents an intelligent damage identification method for the girder based on stiffness variation index (SVI) and least squares support vector machine (LSSVM). In the method, the SVI indicators, which have high resolution to environmental noise, serve as the damage feature to detect damage locations. Moreover, the SVI indicators are input to the LSSVM classifier for identifying the actual damage level of the girder. A case study on girder damage identification demonstrates that the method could determine the actual conditions of the girder structure accurately.

<p><strong>Objective</strong>: The  purpose  of  this  case  study  was  to  analyze  the  oral  hygiene intervention performed by  nurse  in  stroke  hemorrhagic  patient  in  neurological  ward</p><p> </p><p><strong>Methods:</strong> .Oral hygiene interventions were performed by using 0.2% chlorhexidine twice daily for seven days. This case study used oral health assessment tool (OHAT) which the measurements were taken before and after the intervention every day</p><p> </p><p><strong>Results</strong>: There was a decrease in oral hygiene assessment score from 9 to 1 which implied an improvement in oral hygiene condition. This study also showed that family of stroke patient was able to perform oral hygiene practice to the patient after simulation performed firstly by nurses</p><p> </p><p><strong>Conclusion</strong>: The study recommends that oral hygiene by using 0.2% chlorhexidine needs to be delivered routinely by nurses and continues by the family at home care.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Keywords</strong>: chlorhexidine 0.2%, oral hygiene, stroke.</p>

Emerald ash borer is a pest of North American ash that has caused significant mortality within its introduced range. The timeline for tree mortality, once infested by emerald ash borer, is variable for individual trees, with a small proportion surviving infestation. Using tree health assessments and signs of emerald ash borer infestation, researchers developed decision models to predict the probability of mortality. Two resulting models performed well at correctly predicting mortality (>83% correct) and significantly separating probability of mortality for those trees. Both models used diameter at breast height (DBH) and presence of bark splits, with one including percent crown dieback and the other including vigor rating (overall tree health assessment). A third model had reduced correct prediction of mortality, but was still potentially an effective model. Other tested models had shortcomings in prediction of mortality or in separation of probabilities of mortality. Using variables from three potential decision models, the year of mortality was modeled. However, specific year prediction was not as effective. Because of a wide range of external factors, prediction of a specific year of mortality may not be appropriate. Using DBH and rapid health and infestation assessment data, the authors were able to correctly predict ash mortality within a three-year period for the majority of trees within this study. Management strategies that use these models for developing hierarchical removal programs for infested ash may distribute financial and environmental costs over multiple years as opposed to mass removal of street and park trees.
