The Non‐Professional Virtues of the Hospice Volunteer

Journal of Applied Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Volunteers have long played a significant role in hospice care. Much of the care volunteers provide consists of weekly hour‐long in‐home visits. Home‐visiting hospice volunteers are not professionals, nor are they strangers or intimates. Hospice volunteers will not typically face moral dilemmas, nor be called upon to make dramatic decisions ...

Sensor Systems for Vehicle Environment Perception in a Highway Intelligent Space System

Sensors, 2014
A Highway Intelligent Space System (HISS) is proposed to study vehicle environment perception in this paper. The nature of HISS is that a space sensors system using laser, ultrasonic or radar sensors are installed in a highway environment and ...

Optimal Gain Selection for the Arbitrary‐Order Homogeneous Differentiator

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Differentiation of noisy signals is a relevant and challenging task. Widespread approaches are the linear high‐gain observer acting as a differentiator and Levant's robust exact differentiator with a discontinuous right‐hand side. We consider the family of arbitrary‐order homogeneous differentiators, which includes these special cases.

Structures of Ideological Systems Programming. The Case of Sustainability in Prices

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper aims to demonstrate Niklas Luhmann's systems theory and its concept of ideologies as a general framework for analysing the actual implementation of normative ideas in modern society. Using the example of sustainable pricing within the economic system, it shows how values can be established at the programmatic level of function ...

Identification of Locally Generated Plasmaspheric Hiss

Geophysical Research Letters
In this study, we statistically analyze the wave properties of plasmaspheric hiss using data from the Van Allen Probes. The magnetic power spectral densities of hiss waves exhibit dependence on magnetic local time, geomagnetic activity, and the L‐shell ...

Designing a reference architecture for health information systems

BMC Medical Informatics and Decision Making, 2021
Background Healthcare relies on health information systems (HISs) to support the care and receive reimbursement for the care provided. Healthcare providers experience many problems with their HISs due to improper architecture design.

Loanwords and Linguistic Phylogenetics: *pelek̑u‐ ‘axe’ and *(H)a(i̯)g̑‐ ‘goat’1

Transactions of the Philological Society, Volume 123, Issue 1, Page 116-136, March 2025.
Abstract This paper assesses the role of borrowings in two different approaches to linguistic phylogenetics: Traditional qualitative analyses of lexemes, and quantitative computational analysis of cognacy. It problematises the assumption that loanwords can be excluded altogether from datasets of lexical cognacy.

Coexistence of Lightning Generated Whistlers, Hiss and Lower Hybrid Noise Observed by e-POP (SWARM-E)–RRI

Atmosphere, 2020
Whistler mode waves play a major role in regulating the lifetime of trapped electrons in the Earth’s radiation belts. Specifically, interaction with whistler mode hiss waves is one of the mechanisms that maintains the slot region between the inner ...

Riding Through Norms: Creating and Performing Athletic Femininity at American Ladies’ Equestrian Exhibitions, 1850–1890

Gender &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT During the nineteenth century, American agricultural fairs often featured ladies’ equestrian exhibitions. At these events, women constructed an athletic femininity based on skill and competitiveness that challenged traditional ideals of womanhood.

Dependence of Plasmaspheric Hiss Power on ωpe/Ωce

Geophysical Research Letters
Plasmaspheric hiss waves play a key role in scattering energetic electrons and are often modeled in the inner magnetosphere using empirical hiss power maps parameterized by L shell.
