Multispectral imaging system for contaminant detection

An automated inspection system for detecting digestive contaminants on food items as they are being processed for consumption includes a conveyor for transporting the food items, a light sealed enclosure which surrounds a portion of the conveyor, with a light source and a multispectral or hyperspectral digital imaging camera disposed within the enclosure. Operation of the conveyor, light source and camera are controlled by a central computer unit. Light reflected by the food items within the enclosure is detected in predetermined wavelength bands, and detected intensity values are analyzed to detect the presence of digestive contamination

Determination of two-body potentials from n-body spectra

We show how the two-body potential may be uniquely determined from n-body spectra where the hypercentral approximation is valid. We illustrate this by considering an harmonic oscillator potential which has been altered by changing the energy or normalisation constant of the ground state of the n-body system and finding how this modifies the two-body potential. It is shown that with increasing number of particles the spectrum must be known more precisely to obtain the two-body potential to the same degree of accuracy.Comment: 13 pages of text (LATEX), 3 figures (not included, available from authors), NIKHEF-93-P

Improving cardiac rehabilitation session attendance using the Self-Regulatory Model and motivational interviewing: A randomised controlled trial

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a theory-based, one-session intervention in enhancing cardiac rehabilitation (CR) adherence among patients attending their first class. The intervention session was structured to elicit and change patients' illness perceptions, and to enhance motivation. Design: Randomised, controlled trial. Participants: Patients attending for their first Phase III CR class were recruited. Outcome Measures: The primary outcome measure was the number of rehabilitation exercise sessions attended, providing data on participant adherence to the programme. The Illness Perception Questionnaire-Revised was used as a secondary outcome measure. Sociodemographic data and information on coping style and mood were also collected. Results: Patients in the intervention group were found to attend significantly more CR classes than the control group (p<.05). Illness perceptions were not found to be different between groups at three-month follow up. Sociodemographic, medical and psychological variables were not found to be associated with CR adherence, although high levels of anxiety and depression were reported among participants. Conclusions: Rates of initial CR attendance and ongoing adherence were relatively high among all participants. Improved adherence among the intervention group suggests that brief psychological intervention sessions may be useful within a CR setting. However, the lack of change in illness perceptions following intervention suggests that more research is necessary in order to understand the present findings. Other recommendations for future research are also discussed
