1. Kenya Charging Forward: A brief assessment of Kenya’s e-mobility policy landscape and proposed changes

Author

Sheehan, C and Green, T

Abstract

The transport sector’s share of Kenya’s total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions has been projected to grow from 11% in 2015 to 14.7% by 2030 in a business as usual (BAU) scenario [1]. In line with the Kenyan Government’s goal of reducing total GHG emissions by 32% relative to BAU in 2030 [2], it has begun several initiatives to start mitigating its transport emissions, including opportunities related to growing its nascent e-mobility sector. The private sector, with a range of around 25 new e-mobility companies [3], has been providing solutions through the supply of various electric vehicles aimed at serving the local market, while also leading the way in deploying charging and battery swapping infrastructure.

2. Experimental study on the influence of MMC control design on the propagation of AC grid-unbalance to a DC network

Author

Collins, C, Clemow, P, and Green, T

Abstract

The Modular Multilevel Converter (MMC) has become the leading technology for delivering High Voltage DC (HVDC) power transmission, due to its scalability, harmonic quality and ability to ride through AC network faults. However, unbalanced AC-Grid conditions create harmonics at twice the fundamental AC-Grid frequency that can propagate to the DC-side as a result of the unbalance in the arm energy. These harmonics may risk excitation of network resonances as well as the maloperation of connected assets, and thus control action is needed to suppress such harmonics. Several different control solutions have been proposed in the literature and the aim of this paper is to provide a comparison of the performance of a sample of these techniques on a 1.2 kV/12 kVA lab-scale MMC demonstrator and cable emulator under unbalanced AC-Grid conditions. The sample of control methods chosen showcases a range of design complexity from basic direct modulation techniques with no DC current control to advanced energy based controllers. Experimental testing of these controllers under the same test condition not only validates the operation of each individual controller but also allows like-for-like comparison of their relative performance. It was found that the controllers tested were capable of significantly suppressing double line-frequency components on the DC -bus compared to the base case, however the more complex controllers had the additional benefit of being able to tune the transient response.

Abstract

Using spin-echo Nuclear Magnetic Resonance in the model Transverse-Field Ising system TmVO$_4$, we show that low frequency quantum fluctuations at the quantum critical point have a very different effect on $^{51}$V nuclear-spins than classical low-frequency noise or fluctuations that arise at a finite temperature critical point. Spin-echos filter out the low frequency classical noise but not the quantum fluctuations. This allows us to directly visualize the quantum critical fan and demonstrate the persistence of quantum fluctuations at the critical coupling strength in TmVO$_4$ to high temperatures in an experiment that remains transparent to finite temperature classical phase transitions. These results show that while dynamical decoupling schemes can be quite effective in eliminating classical noise in a qubit, a quantum critical environment may lead to rapid entanglement and decoherence., Comment: 10 pages, 5 figures

4. Swing equation modelling of GFL inverter and comparison of its damping and inertia with GFM inverter

Author

Ducoin, E, Gu, Y, Chaudhuri, B, and Green, T

Abstract

The increasing integration of inverter-based renewable generation into the network as Grid-Following inverters (GFL), combined with the reduction in traditional Synchronous Generation (SG) leads to a reduction in inertia and to instabilities. To alleviate this, researchers have proposed using a mix of GFL and Grid-Forming controllers (GFM). However, there is a lack of simple system-wide analytical models. This paper proposes a swing equation to describe the transient frequency response of GFL that has droop regulation of real and reactive power. The swing equation for GFL with droop has an inertia and a damping term as do SG and GFM swing equations. Simulations show that the use of swing equations for GFM and GFL is accurate to study the transient frequency stability following a loss of infeed. GFM and GFL damping are equivalent, and their sum allows prediction of frequency deviation. However, although SG and GFM inertia terms limit the initial Rate of Change of Frequency (RoCoF), the GFL inertia term is found not to contribute towards limitation of the initial RoCoF. Instead, the GFL RoCoF is seen to follow adjacent GFM RoCoF and worsens slightly when the GFL Phase Locked Loop (PLL) bandwidth is reduced.

6. Measuring audio-visual speech intelligibility under dynamic listening conditions using virtual reality

Author

Moore, AH, Green, T, Brookes, DM, Naylor, PA, and Engineering & Physical Science Research Council (EPSRC)

Abstract

The ELOSPHERES project is a collaboration between researchers at Imperial College London and University College London which aims to improve the efficacy of hearing aids. The benefit obtained from hearing aids varies significantly between listeners and listening environments. The noisy, reverberant environments which most people find challenging bear little resemblance to the clinics in which consultations occur. In order to make progress in speech enhancement, algorithms need to be evaluated under realistic listening conditions. A key aim of ELOSPHERES is to create a virtual reality-based test environment in which alternative speech enhancement algorithms can be evaluated using a listener-in-the-loop paradigm. In this paper we present the sap-elospheres-audiovisual-test (SEAT) platform and report the results of an initial experiment in which it was used to measure the benefit of visual cues in a speech intelligibility in spatial noise task.

Abstract

For more than half a century, researchers around the world have been engaged in attempts to achieve fusion ignition as a proof of principle of various fusion concepts. Following the Lawson criterion, an ignited plasma is one where the fusion heating power is high enough to overcome all the physical processes that cool the fusion plasma, creating a positive thermodynamic feedback loop with rapidly increasing temperature. In inertially confined fusion, ignition is a state where the fusion plasma can begin "burn propagation" into surrounding cold fuel, enabling the possibility of high energy gain. While "scientific breakeven" (i.e., unity target gain) has not yet been achieved (here target gain is 0.72, 1.37 MJ of fusion for 1.92 MJ of laser energy), this Letter reports the first controlled fusion experiment, using laser indirect drive, on the National Ignition Facility to produce capsule gain (here 5.8) and reach ignition by nine different formulations of the Lawson criterion.

Abstract

Background: Sudden smell loss is a specific early symptom of COVID-19, which, prior to the emergence of Omicron, had estimated prevalence of ~40% to 75%. Chemosensory impairments affect physical and mental health, and dietary behavior. Thus, it is critical to understand the rate and time course of smell recovery. The aim of this cohort study was to characterize smell function and recovery up to 11 months post COVID-19 infection. Methods: This longitudinal survey of individuals suffering COVID-19-related smell loss assessed disease symptoms and gustatory and olfactory function. Participants (n=12,313) who completed an initial survey (S1) about respiratory symptoms, chemosensory function and COVID-19 diagnosis between April and September 2020, were invited to complete a follow-up survey (S2). Between September 2020 and February 2021, 27.5% participants responded (n=3,386), with 1,468 being diagnosed with COVID-19 and suffering co-occurring smell and taste loss at the beginning of their illness. Results: At follow-up (median time since COVID-19 onset ~200 days), ~60% of women and ~48% of men reported less than 80% of their pre-illness smell ability. Taste typically recovered faster than smell, and taste loss rarely persisted if smell recovered. Prevalence of parosmia and phantosmia was ~10% of participants in S1 and increased substantially in S2: ~47% for parosmia and ~25% for phantosmia. Persistent smell impairment was associated with more symptoms overall, suggesting it may be a key marker of long-COVID illness. The ability to smell during COVID-19 was rated slightly lower by those who did not eventually recover their pre-illness ability to smell at S2. Conclusions: While smell ability improves for many individuals who lost it during acute COVID-19, the prevalence of parosmia and phantosmia increases substantially over time. Olfactory dysfunction is associated with broader persistent symptoms of COVID-19, and may last for many months following acute COVID-19. Taste loss in the absence of smell loss is rare. Persistent qualitative smell symptoms are emerging as common long-term sequelae; more research into treatment options is strongly warranted given that even conservative estimates suggest millions of individuals may experience parosmia following COVID-19. Healthcare providers worldwide need to be prepared to treat post COVID-19 secondary effects on physical and mental health. Trial registration: This project was pre-registered at OSF 1.

Abstract

This Briefing Paper explores the impact the COVID-19 pandemic had on the UK’s energy sector over the course of the first government-mandated national lockdown that began on 23 March 2020. Research from several aspects of the Integrated Development of Low-carbon Energy Systems (IDLES) programme at Imperial College London is presented in one overarching paper. The main aim is to determine what lessons can be learnt from that lockdown period, given the unique set of challenges it presented in our daily lives and the changes it brought about in energy demand, supply, and use. Valuable insights are gained into how working-from-home policies, electric vehicles, and low-carbon grids can be implemented, incentivised, and managed effectively.

Abstract

Objective: We surveyed obstetric sonographers, who are at the forefront of the screening process to determine how barriers to prenatal cardiac screening impacted screening abilities. Methods: We performed a cross-sectional national survey of obstetric sonographers in the United States using a sampling frame from American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonography mailing lists. The web survey measured the ability to obtain and interpret fetal heart images. Several cognitive, sociodemographic, and system-level factors were measured, including intention to perform cardiac imaging. Regression and mediation analyses determined factors associated with intention to perform and ability to obtain and interpret cardiac images. Subgroup analyses of sonographers in tertiary versus nontertiary centers were also performed. Results: Survey response rate either due to noncontact or nonresponse was 40%. Of 480 eligible sonographers, ~30% practiced in tertiary settings. Sonographers had lower intention to perform outflow views compared to 4 chambers. Higher self-efficacy and professional expectations predicted higher odds of intention to perform outflow views (OR 2.8, 95% CI 1.9–4.2 and 1.9, 95% CI 1.1–3.0, respectively). Overall accuracy of image interpretation was 65% (±14%). For the overall cohort and nontertiary subgroup, higher intention to perform outflows was associated with increased accuracy in overall image interpretation. For the tertiary subgroup, self-efficacy and feedback were strongly associated with accuracy. Conclusions: We identified several modifiable (some heretofore unrecognized) targets to improve prenatal cardiac screening. Priorities identified by sonographers that are associated with screening success should guide future interventions.

12. How can carbon offsetting help UK further and higher education institutions achieve net zero emissions?

Author

Mitchell-Larson, E, Green, T, Lewis-Brown, E, Jennings, N, Joly, C, Goodwin, F, Reay, D, Rothman, R, Scott, C, Allen, M, and Forster, P

Abstract

There are a range of views on the use of carbon offsetting among academics, higher and further education professional staff, corporates and offsetting providers. When and where offsets should be used or not used, and what types of offsets to use, are to some extent value-laden choices. These choices are being actively debated at the international and community level. This briefing note provides guidance to support the development of further and higher education offsetting policies and to challenge institutions, including our own. It specifically discusses the use of offsetting in the context of net zero strategies. We are also using the briefing to consult our institutions on the approaches they are taking. We hope it prompts discussion and collective action towards making net zero a reality.

Abstract

The goal of the current investigation was to establish proof of concept regarding measurement of blood lactate levels as an indicator of laryngeal muscle activity and fatigue, as well as to examine the relationship between blood lactate levels and NMES intensity. Fifteen participants completed a vocal loading exercise while blood lactate was measured prior to, during, and upon completion of the exercise. Acoustic measures of voice production and subjective reports of fatigue/soreness were obtained pre- and post-vocal loading task. The participants were divided into three groups: those who did not receive laryngeal neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES), those who received laryngeal NMES at a minimally perceivable level of intensity, and those who received laryngeal NMES at a maximum tolerable level of intensity. Changes in blood lactate levels were observed during the vocal loading task, thus indicating that blood lactate measurements are sensitive enough to reflect laryngeal muscle activity. No consistent pattern between blood lactate levels and NMES intensity or fatigue emerged. Several factors may account for these findings.

Abstract

The dc tap or dc transformer will play an important role in interfacing different voltages of dc links in dc grids. This paper presents an isolated resonant mode modular converter (RMMC) with flexible modulation and assorted configurations to satisfy a wide variety of interface requirements for medium voltage dc (MVDC) networks. The transformer-less RMMC, as introduced in the literature, implemented a restricted modulation scheme leading to a very limited range of step-ratio and the diode rectifier resulted in unidirectional power flow. Both of these limitations are removed in this proposal and galvanic isolation has also been added. Moreover, this new RMMC approach can serve as a building block for variety of configurations. Two such derived topologies are given, which inherently balance the voltage and current between different constituent circuits and realize the high power rating conversion for very low or very high step-ratio application. The theoretical analysis is validated by a set of full-scale simulations and a down-scaled experimental prototype. The results illustrate that this isolated RMMC and its derivatives have promising features for dc taps or dc transformers in MVDC applications.

Abstract

In future power systems, reduced overall inertia caused by an increased dominance of asynchronous generation and interconnections would make frequency control particularly challenging. As the number and power rating of voltage source converter (VSC) HVDC systems increases, network service provision would be expected from such systems and to do so would require overload capacity to be included in the converter specifications. This paper studies the provision of frequency services from modular multilevel converter (MMC)-based VSC HVDC interconnections using temperature-constrained overload capability. Overload of the MMC-based HVDC system is achieved through controlled circulating currents, at the expense of higher losses, and subject to a control scheme that dynamically limits the overload available in order to keep the semiconductor junction temperatures within operational limits. Two frequency control schemes that use the obtained overload capacity to provide frequency response during emergency conditions are investigated. The controllers' performance is demonstrated in the context of the future Great Britain transmission grid through a reduced equivalent test system. Simulation results show that even modest temperature margins which allow overload of MMC-based HVDC systems for a few seconds are effective as a primary frequency reserve and also reduce the loss of infeed requirements of such interconnections.

Abstract

A growing body of literature indicates that leader spirituality positively influences how leaders lead. There is also a body of literature that indicates that followers associate good leadership with behaving ethically. A concept related to leader ethics is leader virtues. Historically, virtues have been written about from a theological perspective. Recently, Riggio, Zhu, Reina and Maroosis (2010) developed an empirical assessment to measure leadership virtues. In this study, 143 leaders were rated by their followers, peers and supervisors using the 'Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire and the Leadership Virtues Questionnaire'. The leaders completed three spiritual and religious assessments on themselves. The results of the analysis found that leader spiritual well-being had direct effects on how virtuously and how actively followers, colleagues and supervisors rated these leaders.

Abstract

This study compared acute postexercise oxygen consumption in 11 trained women (age, 46.5 ± 1.6 years; body mass index [BMI], 28.4 ± 1.7 kg·m(-2) and 11 untrained women (age, 46.5 ± 1.5 years; BMI, 27.5 ± 1.5 kg·m(-2)) after resistance exercise (RE). Resistance exercise consisted of 3 sets of 8 exercises (8-12 repetitions at 50-80% 1 repetition maximum). Oxygen consumption (VO2 ml·min(-1)) was measured before and after (0, 20, 40, 60, 90, and 120 minutes) RE. Immediately after cessation of RE (time 0), oxygen consumption increased in both trained and untrained women and remained significantly above baseline through 60 minutes after exercise (p < 0.01). Total oxygen consumption during recovery was 31.3 L in trained women and 27.4 L in untrained women (p = 0.07). In trained women, total oxygen consumption was strongly related to absolute (kg) lean mass (r = 0.88; p < 0.001), relative (kilogram per square meter) lean mass (r = 0.91; p < 0.001), and duration of exercise (r = 0.68; p ≤ 0.05), but in untrained women, only training volume-load was related to total oxygen consumption (r = 0.67; p ≤ 0.05). In trained women, 86% of the variance in oxygen consumption was explained by lean mass and exercise duration, whereas volume-load explained 45% in untrained women. Our findings suggest that, in women, resistance training increases metabolic activity of lean tissue. Postexercise energy costs of RE are determined by the duration of stimulation provided by RE rather than absolute work (volume-load) performed. This phenomenon may be related to type II muscle fibers and increased protein synthesis.

Abstract

We introduce two open source tools to aid the processing and visualisation of ab-initio computed solid-state NMR parameters. The Magres file format for computed NMR parameters (as implemented in CASTEP v8.0 and QuantumEspresso v5.0.0) is implemented. MagresView is built upon the widely used Jmol crystal viewer, and provides an intuitive environment to display computed NMR parameters. It can provide simple pictorial representation of one- and two-dimensional NMR spectra as well as output a selected spin-system for exact simulations with dedicated spin-dynamics software. MagresPython provides a simple scripting environment to manipulate large numbers of computed NMR parameters to search for structural correlations.

Abstract

Although a dose-response relationship between resistance training frequency and strength has been identified, there is limited research regarding the association between frequency and body composition. This study evaluated the effects of 3 vs. 4 d·wk(-1) of resistance training on body composition and strength in middle-aged women. Twenty-one untrained women (age 47.6 ± 1.2 years) completed 8 weeks of resistance training either 3 nonconsecutive days of the week using a traditional total-body protocol (RT3) or 4 consecutive days of the week using an alternating split-training protocol (RT4). The RT3 completed 3 sets of 8 exercises, whereas RT4 completed 3 sets of 6 upper body exercises or 6 sets of 3 lower body exercises. Both groups completed 72 sets per week of 8-12 repetitions at 50-80% 1 repetition maximum. Weekly training volume load was calculated as the total number of repetitions × load (kg) completed per week. Body composition was measured using air displacement plethysmography. At baseline and after 8 weeks of resistance training, there were no significant between-group differences. Both protocols resulted in significant increases in absolute lean mass (1.1 ± 0.3 kg; p = 0.001), body weight (1.02 ± 0.3 kg; p = 0.005), body mass index (0.3 ± 0.1 kg·m(-2); p = 0.006), strength (p < 0.001), and weekly training volume load (p < 0.001). Correlation analysis revealed that weekly training volume load was strongly and positively related to gains in lean mass (r = 0.56, p = 0.05) and strength (r = 0.60, p = 0.006). In these untrained, middle-aged women, initial short-term gains in lean mass and strength were not influenced by training frequency when the number of training sets per week was equated.

Abstract

To access publisher full text version of this article. Please click on the hyperlink in Additional Links field Effects of susceptibility variants may depend on from which parent they are inherited. Although many associations between sequence variants and human traits have been discovered through genome-wide associations, the impact of parental origin has largely been ignored. Here we show that for 38,167 Icelanders genotyped using single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) chips, the parental origin of most alleles can be determined. For this we used a combination of genealogy and long-range phasing. We then focused on SNPs that associate with diseases and are within 500 kilobases of known imprinted genes. Seven independent SNP associations were examined. Five-one with breast cancer, one with basal-cell carcinoma and three with type 2 diabetes-have parental-origin-specific associations. These variants are located in two genomic regions, 11p15 and 7q32, each harbouring a cluster of imprinted genes. Furthermore, we observed a novel association between the SNP rs2334499 at 11p15 and type 2 diabetes. Here the allele that confers risk when paternally inherited is protective when maternally transmitted. We identified a differentially methylated CTCF-binding site at 11p15 and demonstrated correlation of rs2334499 with decreased methylation of that site. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/FP7/218071

Abstract

In untrained adults, multiple trials of maximal strength testing are necessary to obtain reliable measures. Training status may positively influence test-retest reliability and increase testing efficiency. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of training status on differences between trials of 1 repetition maximum (1RM) measurement in women. Before (untrained women [UTW]) and after (trained women [TRW]) an 8-week resistance training program, 10 women (45.6 ± 1.4 years; body mass index 28.7 ± 1.6 kg·m−2) completed 3 trials of 1RM chest and leg press with at least 24 hours rest between trials. In UTW, differences between chest press trials were nonsignificant (trials 1–2: 2.36 ± 1.39 kg, p = 0.37; trials 2–3: 0.82 ± 0.77 kg, p = 0.95; trials 1–3: 3.18 ± 0.16 kg, p = 0.07), although a significant difference between leg press trials 1–3 was observed (trials 1–2: 6.55 ± 3.31 kg, p = 0.25; trials 2–3: 2.52 ± 1.1 kg, p = 0.15; trials 1–3: 9.07 ± 2.83 kg, p = 0.04). In TRW, differences between all 1RM trials were nonsignificant for both the chest press (trials 1–2: −0.65 ± 2.11 kg, p = 1.0; trials 2–3: 1.62 ± 0.69 kg, p = 0.15; trials 1–3: 0.96 ± 2.07 kg, p = 1.0) and leg press (trials 1–2: −1.51 ± 2.13 kg, p = 1.0; trials 2–3: 3.53 ± 3.0 kg, p = 0.82; trials 1–3: 2.01 ± 3.87 kg, p = 1.0). Our results suggest that training status has a positive influence on the efficiency of maximal strength measurement. For trained middle-aged women, a single trial of 1RM chest or leg press may be sufficient to obtain an accurate and reliable measure of maximal strength.

Abstract

Objective: Clinical handover is a critical point in medical care in the ED, which can contribute to adverse effects for patient care and staff workloads. Over a 4 and a half months in a tertiary referral hospital ED, a centralized whiteboard handover was performed followed by a multidisciplinary review of each patient. This round was referred to as the 'Cow Round'. Methodology: This observational study used a standardized feedback survey of clinicians leading each Cow Round. The survey asked participants in the round to report issues found, which were not handed over during the centralized whiteboard handover. Data were analysed for the number of issues identified, the type of issue identified, and to determine if there was a relationship between the number of issues reported and patients in the department. Results: 204 surveys met inclusion criteria. Clinical issues not handed over at the standard whiteboard round were found in 64% of Cow Rounds. Of the 2411 patients reviewed on Cow Rounds, 14.1% had at least one clinical issue not handed over during the whiteboard round. A mean of 2.2 issues per round (95% CI 1.9-2.5) were found. Pearson correlation found a relationship between the number of issues identified and the total number of patients in the department (r= 0.246 P= 0.005). Conclusion: Review of patients led by a senior member of medical staff, at the patient bedside enables the timely identification and management of issues not communicated during the whiteboard handover process. This review is important when more patients are receiving treatment in the department. © 2011 The Authors.

Abstract

Overdose is a serious problem as for people addicted to opioid drug injections (ODI) as well as for the community in general. To study characteristics of overdose, authors examined 60 ODI users and analyzed 27 overdose death cases. It has been shown that overdose is rather common among ODI users. Fatal and nonfatal overdoses most frequently take place among men at home or in the street. People often did not receive sufficient help in the overdose situation. We confirm the role of alcohol, long abstinence and variability in drug quality in the development of overdose. Witnesses of overdose in other users reported more health problems, family and social relations, were more concerned with their own and others risk in future compared to those reporting no overdose. Additional predictors were determined: a higher number of overdoses in the past; disturbances of family relations and somatic disorders. Mental disorders predicted the opioid overdose risk among ODI users. ODI users are interested in counseling and training to prevent overdose. Family psychotherapy and early diagnosis of comorbid disorders may be important ways of overdose prevention.

Abstract

The effect of the adsorption of an electron donor (thiophenol, TP) on the surface of CdSe nanoparticles (NPs) on the emission and electron-hole dynamics is studied. It is found that while the emission is completely quenched, the effect on the transient bleach recovery of the band gap absorption is only slight. This is explained by a mechanism in which the hole in the valence band of the NP is rapidly neutralized by electron transfer from the TP. However, the excited electron in the conduction band is not transferred to the TP cation, i. e. the electron does not shuttle via the organic moiety as it does when naphthoquinone is adsorbed [1]. The excited electron is rather trapped by surface states. Thus the rate of bleach recovery in the CdSe NP system is determined by the rate of electron trapping and not by hole trapping. Comparable conclusions resulted previously [2] for the CdS NP when the CdS-MV2+ system is studied. A comparative discussion of the electron-hole dynamics in these systems (CdSe-NQ, CdS-MV2+ and CdSe-TP) is given.

Abstract

A total of 135 participants in the Canadian predictive testing programme for HD were followed for at least one year in one of four study groups: increased risk (n = 37), decreased risk ( n = 58), uninformative (n = 17), or not tested (n = 23). Clinical criteria for an adverse event were a suicide attempt or formulation of a suicide attempt plan, psychiatric hospitalisation, depression lasting longer than two months, a marked increase in substance abuse, and the breakdown of important relationships. Quantitative criteria, as measured by changes on the General Severity Index of the Symptom Checklist 90-R and the Beck Depression Inventory, were also used to identify people who had adverse events. Twenty of the 135 participants (14.8%) had an adverse event. There were no significant differences between those with or without an adverse event with respect to age, sex, marital status, education, psychiatric history, general psychiatric distress, or social supports at baseline. However, evidence for depression was associated with an increased frequency of adverse events (p < 0.04). The adverse events were similar and seen with equivalent frequency in those receiving an increased risk or decreased risk and persons at risk who did not receive a modification of risk. However, a significant difference was found in the timing of adverse events for the increased and decreased risk groups (p < 0.0002). In the increased risk group all of the adverse events occurred within 10 days after results whereas, in the decreased risk group, all of the adverse events occurred six months or later after reviewing test results. These results suggest that people entering into predictive testing with some evidence of clinical depression warrant special vigilance and also suggest that counselling and support should be available for all participants in predictive testing irrespective of the direction of test results.
