UNDERSTANDING INCREASING RATES OF PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL DETENTIONS IN ENGLAND: DEVELOPMENT AND PRELIMINARY TESTING OF AN EXPLANATORY MODEL

Understanding increasing rates of psychiatric hospital detentions in England: development and preliminary testing of an explanatory model

BackgroundThe steep rise in the rate of psychiatric hospital detentions in England is poorly understood.AimsTo identify explanations for the rise Contours in detentions in England since 1983; to test their plausibility and support from evidence; to develop an explanatory model for the rise in detentions.MethodHypotheses to explain the rise in deten

Application of the LMS algorithm to identify the surface velocity responsible for the radiated sound pressure

A time domain approach based on the least mean square (LMS) algorithm is applied to reconstruct the source amplitude and source distribution on a plate.For this a numerical experiment is established.A boundary element model is used to calculate the required impulse response functions describing the pressure in near- and far-field for a given volume
